Rubik's cube: the first layer

The first layer of the
3x3x3

Home - Conventions - 1^st layer - 2^nd layer - 3^rd layer

As the Pocket, the 3x3x3 will be achieved by layer (the top one, then the middle and then the bottom).
It begins with the first layer:

When you've finished the first layer
your cube will look like this:

Go !!!

A - THE CROSS:

The purpose of this step is to make a cross that looks like this:

As shown in the figure above, it is necessary that the cross is aligned with the central cube.
As the central cubic never move (they are always at the center), that you put the bones properly.

Example of a poorly positioned layer:

Do not worry about the corners! Focus only on the edges!

As is the easiest step, I have not detailed all possible movements. Arrange to put the edges that you want to place the cross on the front wall (facing you). When this is done, many configurations are possible:

1 - The edge is right, the color in question (here the white) on the front:

U' R U

2 - The ridge is lower, the relevant color (here white) on the front:

F' U' R U

3 - The edge is left, the color in question (here the white) on the front:

U L' U'

When the edge (white / green) is placed, do the same thing with the other 3 edges (white / blue, white / orange and white / red)

Your cross over,
your cube looks like this:

Si votre rubik's cube est un original, en face du vert vous devriez avoir le bleu, en face du rouge, le orange et en face du blanc, le jaune.

B - THE CORNERS:

The corners are easy to implement.
I'll explain the 4 possible cases that can meet the corner with white / green / red.
The other 3 corners are solved in the same way.

1 - The white face is before you:

D' R' D R

2 - The white face is on the right:

D F D' F'

3 - The white face is below (not likely!)

R' D D R D R' D' R

4 - The corner is located, but misguided.

In this case, we must make the first or second option to "identify" the corner misplaced and you find yourself in one of 3 first case.

Do the same for the other 3 colors.

The first layer should be finished!
