Learn how to solve a 2 by 2 Rubik's Cube.

 Solving a 2x2 Rubik's Cube, also known as the Pocket Cube, is simpler than solving the standard 3x3 Rubik's Cube. The 2x2 cube has fewer pieces, making it more accessible for beginners. Here's a basic method to solve it:

  1. 1. Understand the cube:

    • The 2x2 Rubik's Cube has no fixed centers and does not have to be oriented correctly in the solved state. It only has eight corner pieces.

  2. 2. Start with a single color:

    • Choose a color you want to start with. It can be any color.
    • Look for any two corners with that color on the same face and place them adjacent to each other by rotating the cube as necessary.

  3. 3. Solve one layer:

    • Align the two matching corners on the same face.
    • To solve the layer, you may need to perform some basic moves:
      • R: Right face clockwise
      • L: Left face clockwise
      • U: Upper face clockwise
      • D: Down face clockwise
      • F: Front face clockwise
      • B: Back face clockwise
    • Use these moves to manipulate the corners until the entire layer is one solid color.

  4. 4. Solve the opposite layer:

    • Now, you need to solve the opposite layer. This is relatively easy, as there are only two corners left to be placed correctly.
    • Place the unsolved corners adjacent to each other on one of the faces.

  5. 5. Perform a simple algorithm:

    • There's a simple algorithm you can use to swap the two remaining corners. The algorithm is:
      • R U R' U'
    • Repeat this algorithm as many times as needed to swap the two corners and complete the opposite layer.

  6. 6. Check and adjust:

    • After swapping the corners, make sure the entire cube is solved. If not, you might need to repeat the algorithm or use additional moves to adjust the corners until the cube is fully solved.

The key to solving a 2x2 Rubik's Cube is understanding the basic moves and algorithms and practicing until you can efficiently manipulate the pieces. With some practice, you'll become more comfortable with solving it in less time.

Learn to solve a Pyraminx.

  Solving a Pyraminx can be done using a methodical approach. Here's a basic step-by-step guide to solving a Pyraminx: Step 1: Understand the Pyraminx Notation Before you start solving, familiarize yourself with the Pyraminx notation: U - Rotate the upper face clockwise. U' - Rotate the upper face counterclockwise. R - Rotate the right face clockwise. R' - Rotate the right face counterclockwise. L - Rotate the left face clockwise. L' - Rotate the left face counterclockwise. B - Rotate the back face clockwise. B' - Rotate the back face counterclockwise. Step 2: Solve the Tips Begin by solving the tips of the Pyraminx. This involves matching the colors on the tips with the center color of each face. You can do this by turning the tips until the colors match. Step 3: Solve the First Layer Once the tips are solved, move on to solving the first layer. This involves solving the three triangular pieces surrounding the center. Follow these steps: Choose a Color : Pi...

Learn how to solve a 5 by 5 Rubik's Cube.

  Solving a 5x5 Rubik's Cube is similar to solving the 3x3 Cube, but it involves some additional steps due to the increased complexity. Here's a basic guide to solving a 5x5 Rubik's Cube, also known as the Professor's Cube: 1. Solve the Centers: Start by solving the center pieces of each face. This is relatively easy as these pieces don't move. Focus on getting one center color on each face. 2. Pair the Edges: Pair up the edge pieces with their corresponding colors to create "edge pairs." Unlike the 3x3, you may have to deal with more than one piece per edge. 3. Solve the First Two Layers (F2L): Similar to the 3x3, solve the first two layers by pairing up the edge and corner pieces to create complete "F2L pairs." This might involve pairing an edge from one layer with a corner from another layer. 4. Pair the Last Edges (L4E): Pair up the last remaining edge pieces. This step may require some advanced techniques. 5. Solve the Last Two Centers: Now,...
