There's a very small chance that there won't be any, but there are instructions for that case below. Perform a U move so that the colour on the front face of the edge is matching with the centre. There are two directions that the edge could go, left or right. If there are no more edges left on the top layer, then they are probably either inserted in the right place but flipped, or inserted in the wrong place.
To get an edge out of somewhere it shouldn't be, just insert one of the yellow edges into that slot. This should get the edge out and on the top layer, ready for you to use the above instructions to insert correctly.
We're nearly there now. That's a good sign… right? We're going to solve the top layer edges in two steps. In this step will orient all of the pieces so that the yellow face is facing up for all of them. The next will move these pieces around and thus solve the cube. Ignore the corners for now.
You want to look at the edges only. Either none, all, or two of the edges will already be oriented correctly the yellow part is facing up. If the edges are solved in a plus shape like the cross we made at the start the last image , you can skip this stage. To transform the Magic Cube from one state to the other, you have to apply the following short algorithm, watching out for the L shape and the line to be positioned as required:.
Do the required number of U or U' moves to get this L as shown in the picture: the corner that the two edges trap needs to be in the top left. Then perform this algorithm:. Make sure that the yellow bar the two edges and the middle sticker is horizontal, then do:. Sune is a very simple algorithm that many puzzlers love due to its simplicity compared to other algorithms that they may have had to learn.
There are 7 different corner positions possible after you have oriented the edges. Sune and Antisune are two of these, but we won't always get them straight away.
Refer to the image to see what they look like. Both Sune and Antisune have one correctly oriented corner. You might have two corners oriented or none oriented.
If you have all four already facing upwards, you don't need this step. When you eventually get the desired position, there are two slightly different variations of it. For this, we need to look at the front of the cube. The yellow corner facing the front can be in two positions: Either facing the front, or facing the right. In the first image, it is facing the front. This shows you have Sune. To solve it, just do the above algorithm one more time, and you should have oriented all of the top layer.
Sune and antisune. Here, we're looking at the colours that aren't solved. Looking to impress your friends with some new tricks? Learn how to make slime!

But there are other records, too: Jack Cai from Australia holds the record for solving a single cube blindfolded in Layer The part of a cube you turn , consisting of nine blocks.
Permutation Permutation refers to the act of moving the blocks into the desired formation, or the arrangement of the pieces. Rotate the down face counterclockwise. Rotate the right face clockwise.
Rotate the down face clockwise. Rotate the front face counterclockwise. Rotate the down face clockwise two times. Rotate the right face counterclockwise. Rotate the left face counterclockwise.
Step 3: Solve Middle Layer At this point, the white face should be completed, and each other face, except the face opposite the white face, should have three blocks of the same color in the top layer and one block also of that color in the center of the face.
Rotate the up face clockwise. Rotate the left face clockwise. Rotate the front face clockwise. Rotate the up face counterclockwise. Rotate the up face clockwise two times. Rotate the up right face counterclockwise.
Step 2: First Two Layers F2L The second step, in which the first two layers are solved, is also typically done intuitively, although algorithms do exist. Step 4: Permutation of Last Layer PLL There are 21 potential arrangements of your cube at this stage , which means that you have 21 different algorithms to learn. There are four main steps in the Roux Method. Step 4: Solve Remaining 6 Edges and 4 Centers With so much of the cube finished, on average, most people need fewer than 15 moves to solve the cube from here.
If the matched sticker is left of center, perform the Left Trigger. If you have a white sticker facing the top, position the white sticker over something that is not white because it will disrupt whatever is underneath , and, depending on if the piece is on the right or on the left, perform the following algorithm:. If you have an outward facing white sticker in the bottom layer, face it toward you and position the cube so that it is either in the bottom left or bottom right corner of the side facing you, and perform either the left or right trigger, respectively, to relocate it to the top face of the cube.
Identify edge pieces on the top layer that do not have yellow stickers. If it has a yellow sticker, it belongs on the top and not in the middle. Once you find an edge without a yellow sticker, rotate the top face of the cube until the outward facing sticker on that edge piece is directly over the center piece of the same color. Once it matches, look at the upward-facing sticker on that edge piece. That sticker will match the center on either the left or the right. Doing so will disturb the first layer.
Fix the displaced white corner sticker as you did in step three. Occasionally you will find no edge pieces in the top layer without yellow stickers but the middle layer is not solved. In such cases, displace them is-matched middle-layer edge piece by performing the left or right trigger. There should now be an edge piece in the top layer without a yellow sticker. Solve for it as described above. The goal of this step is to create a yellow cross on the upward-pointing face of the cube.
To complete our cube we will use the same algorithm we used to solve the first layer corners but with a little trick:. Start by holding the cube in your hand having a misaligned yellow corner in the highlighted Front-Right-Up spot see image. Repeat the R' D' R D algorithm until this piece comes to the correct position with the yellow sticker upwards. Turning only the Up face , move another wrong yellow corner to the highlighted spot and repeat the R' D' R D algorithm until that yellow piece is oriented correctly.
Move other misaligned yellow corners to the marked spot one by one and do the formula until all corners are solved. The puzzle might seem to be scrambled between the moves but don't worry because everything will come together when all yellow corners are oriented properly.
More examples on how to use the R' D' R D algorithm. Move the misaligned yellow corners one by one to the highlighted position rotating the top layer and do R' D' R D until the current piece is solved.

Orient Yellow Corners Summary. You only have to learn a few moves: Analize the 3x3 cube puzzle and learn the notation. Solve the white face of the Rubik's Cube.
Use a trick to fix the second layer. Fix the yellow edges. Position and orient the remaining corners. Don't worry, this is not cheating. The Easiest Method We will learn this step by step:. Keep scrolling down! Discover the Rubik's Cube Spend some time playing with the puzzle to familiarize with it before you read this solution tutorial and see how far you can get without help.
Fixed Center Pieces Notice that no matter what kind of face rotation you do, the center pieces always stay in the same position. Edges And Corners Beside the fixed center pieces the cube is composed of 8 corner pieces with 3 stickers and 12 edge pieces with two stickers. Too Many Cases There are so many possible configurations over 43 quintillion that it would be impossible to solve it by randomly turning the faces until it's all done.
The Strategy It's hard not to break the solved pieces while fixing new ones.
