Step 2


Step 2: the top layer

<< Step 1

The top layer is half done already. All that needs to be done are the four corners. Basically, you only need three moves. Lets consider the corner on the right front. Which algorithm to use depends on the position of the sticker (sticker) that you want to go on top. First make sure the cubie is on the down-right-front, and it needs to go to up-right-front. Now look at the sticker of the down cubie that has the color of your top layer.

  1. sticker is on the right
    R' D' R
  2. sticker is on the front
    F D F'
  3. sticker is on the bottom (right down corner)
    (R' D' R D)*3

The last algorithm means: repeat the algorithm in brackets three times. There are shorter algorithms for this one, but the one chosen here is very easy to remember.

    hello. i’m dutch. so I’m sorry, that my english isn’t very good. but, I have a simple and faster algorithm for the last one. when the white sticker is down. R2 D’ R2 D R2

    Don’t worry. I’m Dutch too!

    Ik heb een Nederlandse versie van de Rubik’s kubus oplossing nu ook online staan.

    Bedankt voor deze tip. Dat algoritme is inderdaad erg interessant en kort. Ik zal erover denken om mijn versie te vervangen.
