but i think i got the colors mixed up. because at the end he says something like not only have you finished the first surface, but you have also done something something with the colors so like three rows are red and the middle row, middle cube is also red. | ||

take a look at the edge pieces of your green side. (so the pieces that only have 2 stickers in them. the ones you did in the first step) do those 4 line up with the 4 boxes on the other sides edit: basically do you have something like this: http://web.mit.edu/eranki/www/tutorials/cube/images/top_cross.png (with different colors but idea is the same. grey = don't care) | ||

I'm determined to beat this, no matter how bad I am at this >_< | ||

The way you can check to see if the corner is in the correct place is by checking it with the colors of the edges next to it. If the corner does not match up with those colors properly, then that piece is in the wrong place. In order to take it out, just do Ri Di R D on that location, and the corner will go back to the bottom layer. Wrong ![[image loading]](http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/3310/wronggi1.png) Right ![[image loading]](http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/6453/rightjw6.png) This is the step you're doing right? | ||

Heres a little guide for u.... 3x3 Algorithoms FIRST SIDE (First Layer) - Complete the cross - Fill in corners to complete one side Ri - Di - R - D MIDDLE EDGE CUBES (2nd Layer) Left Side = Ui - Li - U - L - U - F - Ui - Fi Right Side = U - R - Ui - Ri - Ui - Fi - U - F LAST SIDE (Top Side) Dot, L Shape (Backwards L) , Line (Horozontal), Or Cross. F - R - U - Ri - Ui - Fi Cross Complete, working for all 4 lined up sides (If 2 lined up sides are beside eachother, have 1 of them directly away from you, other in right hand) R - U - Ri - U - R - U - U -RI Centres and cross complete solve for final sides corners (right side if ones in right place if not any side) U - R - Ui - Li - U - Ri - Ui - L Corners in right spot - flip them the right way (Remember DONT TURN CUBE TURN THE TOP) Ri - Di - R - D This is just a summary of the algorithms and what situations to use them in, it would help if you watched a video or two on youtube before u read this. | ||

sigh. i'm gonna go make a detailed commutator tutorial. all this 'memorizing algorithm' talk is making me cringe  if you know the basic concepts of commutators and setup moves you can create your own algorithms in a few seconds to solve the cube and it's more interesting too. | ||

http://lar5.com/cube/ Its hard to learn at first, but once you get it down. You can solve the cube even faster than the regular method. | ||

The Petrus method of solving is a great method, and is especially useful for solving the cube in a minimal amount of moves, but it is not quite the fastest method. The method that the fastest people use is still the Fridrich style (Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL). The problem with the petrus method is that it takes too much thinking. So even though it's more efficient in terms of the number of moves, it's hard to think ahead enough when you're trying to do 13 second solves. However, it is still a very fast method, and worthwhile to solve. Another very fast method that's pretty cool is something called the Roux method. | ||

You need to use this method. http://lar5.com/cube/ Its hard to learn at first, but once you get it down. You can solve the cube even faster than the regular method. I thought Fridrich was still tops? | ||

You'll soon learn that it's actually pretty lame. It's all about memorizing moves to make rather than "figuring it out" each time. This of course is only cause people always look it up on the internet nowadays. I spend 6 months wasting my time in classes trying to figure it out, and when I finally did, it was the most amazing thing EVER. But when you just look up a tutorial on youtube/etc.... it's not like you're figuring it out, you're just having someone else tell you how to do it -_- | ||
