My Cubing Journey - Square by Square

 My Cubing Journey - Square by Square

I personally enjoyed solving the Rubik's cube and am challenging myself to get better. Until now my high score is 58 seconds but I will work towards that time and hopefully eventually become a great cuber.

If you're in a hurry or want to read how to do the cube, here are the steps:
1. Form the daisy using the white edges.
2. Make the white cross.
3. Position the edges.
4. Make the second layer.
5. Make the yellow cross.
6. Solve the yellow side.
7. Position the last few corners.
8. Position the last few edges.
9. Grin funnily at the cube.
That last step is totally optional (but I bet you'll do it either way)

If you're confused about what edges or corners are, here's the theory:
Centrepieces - Well it's basically in the name. They're centrepieces.
Edges - The pieces with only 2 stickers.
Corner pieces - The pieces with only 3 stickers.

The algorithms/things you will need to do during the steps are
a. FURU'R'F'
b. RUR'URU2R'
c. L'URU'LUR'RUR'URU2R'
d. F2UR'LF2L'RUF2

I bet loads of you are saying "All that's Greek to me!". Well not anymore:
F - Front face
B - Back face
R - Right face
L - Left face
D - Down face
U - Upper face
' - Prime or moving counter-clockwise
2 - Move clockwise twice

That's a lot of information but the more you practice and the more you learn these, you'll do better and better. Just so you know, here's a few facts about the cube:
1. There are about 43 quintillion different ways to mix a Rubik's cube.
2. The centrepieces can never change their position. That's how you determine which side is what color.
3. There are loads of different kinds of Rubik's cubes so go out and try them!
