    1) The document provides a 5 step process to solve a Rubik's Cube, including completing the first layer cross and corners, the second layer, the third layer cross and corners. 2) Step 1 involves placing white edge pieces around the green center piece to form a white cross. Step 2 adds the colored corner pieces to complete the first layer. 3) Step 3 orients colored edge pieces to complete the second layer while keeping the first layer intact. 4) Step 4 forms the yellow cross on the opposite side while preserving previous layers. 5) Step 5 orients the remaining yellow corner pieces to solve the cube.

    The key takeaways are the 5 step process to solve a Rubik's cube which includes completing the first layer cross and corners, the second layer, the third layer cross, and orienting the third layer corners.

    The 5 steps to solve a Rubik's cube are: 1) Complete the first layer cross, 2) Complete the first layer corners, 3) Complete the second layer, 4) Complete the third layer cross, and 5) Orient the third layer corners correctly.

    The process to complete the second layer is to find the edge pieces with the correct colors and positions and rotate them into the bottom layer one by one.

    HOW TO SOLVE A RUBIKS CUBE [FIVE

    EASY STEPS TO SOLVING THE CUBE


    STEP 1 - COMPLETE THE FIRST LAYER CROSS

    1. Keep WHITE centre on top


    2. Put the GREEN centre piece in front (facing you)
    3. Find the GREEN/ WHITE edge piece (it only has 2 colours) and turn it to one of the positions
    shown below (keeping white on top and green in front)
    4. Choose the options below that matches your situation and follow the arrow steps to place the
    GREEN/ WHITE edge piece in place.

    Keeping white on top, turn the cube so that a different colour face is toward you. Follow the above
    instructions again. Repeat with the other two faces until the white cross is complete. This step is
    quite intuitive; you can do it for sure but it does take a little practice. Just move the white edges to
    their places not messing up the ones already fixed.

    STEP 2 - COMPLETE THE FIRST LAYER CORNERS

    1. Keep WHITE on top


    2. Put the GREEN centre piece in front (facing you)
    3. Find the GREEN/WHITE/RED corner (it has 3 colours) and place it in one of the positions
    below (without disturbing the white cross)
    4. Choose from the steps below to place the green and white edge piece in place.
    5. Find the GREEN/ WHITE edge piece and move it to one of the positions below.
    Possible Problem:
    The corner you are looking for is in the top layer, but in the wrong position or turned the wrong way
    around. Turn the cube so that the corner is in the front right top corner then move the corner to the
    bottom layer by following the following steps.
    Solution:

    Perform these steps , then choose from steps (A), (B) or (C) above to put the corner in place

    Keeping white on top, turn the cube so that a different colour face is toward you. Follow the above
    instructions again. Repeat with the other two faces until the white cross is complete.

    STEP 3 - COMPLETE SECOND LAYER

    1. Keep WHITE on top


    2. Find the GREEN/RED edge piece
    3. If it is in the bottom layer, then turn the bottom layer to match the edge with the centre colour
    (see fig below).
    4. If the edge is not in the bottom layer, then go to Step C
    5. Choose from the steps below to place the edge piece in place.
    Possible Problem:
    The edge piece you want to move is in the second layer, but in the wrong position or the wrong way
    around.

    Solution: Turn the cube so that the edge is in the front layer then do either solution above to move
    the piece into the bottom row. The go back to step 4 above.

    Continue A and B with different centers facing you until the second layer is complete

    STEP 4 - COMPLETE THE THIRD LAYER CROSS

    1. Turn the cube over (white is now on the bottom and yellow on top)
    2. You should find that there is 0, 2 or 4 pieces (of the cross) facing upward. Even if 4 pieces of
    the cross is facing upward, they may not be in the correct position.
    3. The idea is firstly to get the yellow cross and secondly to turn swap pieces to the correct
    position in the cross.

    Repeat this algorithm till you get the yellow cross


    You will now have 4 or 2 edge pieces in the correct place. Matching with the center colors. Ensure
    the correct edge pieces are at the back and right face. Use the algorithm below to put the edge
    pieces in the correct position.

    Possible Problem:
    Two pieces that are in the correct position are opposite each other.
    Solution: Perform the steps in (A) once and then turn the cube like the one shown above and
    perform the steps again.

    STEP 5 - COMPLETE THE THIRD LAYER CORNERS

    (1) First we will put the corners in the correct position (A),
    You will now have either 0, 1 or ALL the corners pieces will be in their correct positions, either the
    right way up or reversed.
    If one corner piece is in the correct corner turn the cube to that this correct corner is in the front top
    right position. The piece is in the correct position, BUT may not be turned the correct way around.
    (A)

    Repeat the sequence until all the corners are in the correct position.

    Possible Problem: None of the corners is in the correct position.


    Solution: Perform the steps in (A) once with any side facing you (YELLOW at the top). Now one
    corner will be in the correct position. Proceed with (A) above.

    The next steps will turn the corners the correct way and ultimately solve the cube.

    NOTE: THIS ROUTINE MAY APPEAR TO UPSET THE REST OF THE CUBE. DO NOT DESPAIR
    AND KEEP THE SAME SIDE FACING YOU

    Repeat the moves until


    the YELLOW side of the corner piece is on top. You may have to do it 2-3 times.

    KEEP THE SAME SIDE FACING YOU. Rotate the TOP LAYER until the next corner piece to be
    rotated is in the top right position. Repeat the above sequence until the YELLOW side of the corner
    that you are rotating is on top. Continue the process until the cube is complete.

    YOU HAVE DONE IT!!
