Formulas Top Face Position #'s
1 or (F)ront face clockwise one turn
1' or (F')ront face counterclockwise 1 2 3
3 or (R)ight face clockwise
3' or (R')ight face counterclockwise 4 center 6
4 or (L)eft face clockwise
4' or (L')eft face counterclockwise 7 8 9
5 or (T)op face clockwise
5' or (T')op face counterclockwise 1, 3, 7 & 9 are corners (three color pieces)
6 or (B)ottom face clockwise
6' or (B')ottom face counterclockwise one turn 2, 4, 6 & 8 are edges (two color pieces)
Step 1 White Center Face Up Complete the white edge cross
If a white edge has a white facing up in the top layer just turn top layer either direction to place edge in correct place.
Look for a white edge on the bottom layer and turn bottom layer until under the correct colored center color.
If the non-white color of the edge is next to the same center color just 1 1 or 1' 1'
If the non-white color of the edge is facing the bottom 6 3 1' or 6' 4' 1
Step 2 White Center Face Up Complete the top white layer corners
Work off the bottom layer by turning the bottom layer until a white corner is under where it belongs
If the white is facing forward 6' 3' 6 3
If the white is facing the right side 6 1 6' 1'
If the white is facing down 1 6' 1' 6 6 will make it face forward to do above formula to it.
Step 3 White Center Face Up Complete middle layer placing middle edges where they belong.
Find a center layer non yellow edge on the bottom layer and turn bottom layer until color matches center color
if bottom edge color needs to go to the right center layer do: 6' 3' 6 3 6 1 6' 1'
if bottom edge color needs to go to the left center layer do: 6 4 6' 4' 6' 1' 6 1
if all a needed edge is stuck in the middle layer do either formula above to place it on the bottom layer.
Step 4 Yellow Center Face Up The Yellow Cross so the yellow edges all have yellow facing up
If some edges are already facing up, turn the cube so these yellow edges are top positions 2 & 4 for two times through the step 4 formula or if in positions 4 & 6 only one time through the following formula
1 3 5 3' 5' 1'
Step 5 Yellow Center Face Up Get the yellow edges in their correct positions on top
Turn the top layer of the cube either direction until maybe some edges are in their correct place, then turn whole cube so those correct positioned edges are in top positions 2 & 6 to determine the front of the cube
3 5 3' 5 3 5 5 3' 5 until all the edges are in their correct place.
Step 6 Yellow Center Face Up Get corners in their correct positions on the top of the cube
Turn whole cube until a corner that is already in the correct place in is top position #9 spot.
5 35' 4' 5 3' 5' 4 until all top corners are in their correct places
Step 7 Yellow Center Face Up Turn top corners so yellow is facing up.
Turn whole cube until a top corner that needs yellow facing up is in top position #9
3 1' 3' 1 and again 3 1' 3' 1 until yellow is facing up on top position #9 corner
Turn top layer keeping same center color as your front face until the next yellow corner needing fixing is in position #9 on top and repeat the above process until all corners have yellow facing up.
If a white edge has a white facing up in the top layer just turn top layer either direction to place edge in correct place.
Look for a white edge on the bottom layer and turn bottom layer until under the correct colored center color.
If the non-white color of the edge is next to the same center color just 1 1 or 1' 1'
If the non-white color of the edge is facing the bottom 6 3 1' or 6' 4' 1
Step 2 White Center Face Up Complete the top white layer corners
Work off the bottom layer by turning the bottom layer until a white corner is under where it belongs
If the white is facing forward 6' 3' 6 3
If the white is facing the right side 6 1 6' 1'
If the white is facing down 1 6' 1' 6 6 will make it face forward to do above formula to it.
Step 3 White Center Face Up Complete middle layer placing middle edges where they belong.
Find a center layer non yellow edge on the bottom layer and turn bottom layer until color matches center color
if bottom edge color needs to go to the right center layer do: 6' 3' 6 3 6 1 6' 1'
if bottom edge color needs to go to the left center layer do: 6 4 6' 4' 6' 1' 6 1
if all a needed edge is stuck in the middle layer do either formula above to place it on the bottom layer.
Step 4 Yellow Center Face Up The Yellow Cross so the yellow edges all have yellow facing up
If some edges are already facing up, turn the cube so these yellow edges are top positions 2 & 4 for two times through the step 4 formula or if in positions 4 & 6 only one time through the following formula
1 3 5 3' 5' 1'
Step 5 Yellow Center Face Up Get the yellow edges in their correct positions on top
Turn the top layer of the cube either direction until maybe some edges are in their correct place, then turn whole cube so those correct positioned edges are in top positions 2 & 6 to determine the front of the cube
3 5 3' 5 3 5 5 3' 5 until all the edges are in their correct place.
Step 6 Yellow Center Face Up Get corners in their correct positions on the top of the cube
Turn whole cube until a corner that is already in the correct place in is top position #9 spot.
5 35' 4' 5 3' 5' 4 until all top corners are in their correct places
Step 7 Yellow Center Face Up Turn top corners so yellow is facing up.
Turn whole cube until a top corner that needs yellow facing up is in top position #9
3 1' 3' 1 and again 3 1' 3' 1 until yellow is facing up on top position #9 corner
Turn top layer keeping same center color as your front face until the next yellow corner needing fixing is in position #9 on top and repeat the above process until all corners have yellow facing up.
