Introduction:

For the past decades, since its invention, solving the Rubik’s Cube (or simply owning one) has been part of many people’s childhood memories and recreational endeavours. Until now, the cube craze lives on and more young minds are learning about just how cool it is to work their hands on a Rubik’s Cube and be able solve it as quickly as possible.

Even educators are now using Rubik’s Cube in teaching mathematics and engineering subjects because the meticulous process of solving it helps students better understand and apply basic and advanced mathematical concepts.

The goal of this book is to further spread the coolness of learning how to solve the Rubik’s Cube by teaching a method that will help you solve the cube in 3 easy ways:

Solve the cross (starting point)

Solve the edge pieces

Solve the corner pieces (end game)

This particular method is also the method that requires the least memorization because it involves only TWO main algorithms—you don’t even have to take any notes! This method will also allow you to better learn and understand the works of the cube because it requires the solver’s mental and logical involvement in determining the next moves to perform.

The Ultimate Solution also applies its algorithms and principles in solving other versions of the cube puzzle including the Rubik’s Pocket Cube (2x2x2 solve), Rubik’s 4th Dimension Cube (3x3x3 solve with symbols), Rubik’s Revenge (4x4x4 solve), The Professor Cube (5x5x5 solve), Megaminx, Pyraminx, and Tetraminx. Once you’ve mastered the method, you can easily learn how to apply it in solving these more intricate puzzles whenever you feel like you’re ready to take on a higher level of cube-solving.

By the end of this guide, you should be able to:

Solve the cube completely

Understand how each of the cube’s pieces work relative to each other

Decode and memorize the different move notations

Memorize the move algorithms, including their mirror and reverse versions

Better predict the effects of the moves you apply

And enjoy practicing the moves and algorithms for different scenarios

That said, let’s get started!

Chapter 1: The Story Behind Rubik’s Cube

How The Cube Was Developed

One day, somewhere in the mid-1970s, a brilliant man named Enro Rubik came up with the concept of creating a 3x3x3 cube model for his students at the Academy of Applied Arts and Crafts in Budapest where he was a professor at the Department of Interior Design. His original goal was to present his students with something that’ll help them understand
