This is a simple method for solving a cube, which may seem impossible to many people. The first step is to find the white centerpiece and hold it on top. Next, solve the white cross by finding a white piece on the bottom layer with three colors on it. Move this piece along the bottom until it's underneath the correct colored center. Turn the green face 180 degrees and move it up to the top.

If the color is switched, move it over to the side and then counterclockwise move it up. If the last piece of the cross is not in the middle, move it into the bottom and fix it. Once solved, turn the cube upside down and learn a sequence of four moves: right-side up, left-side down, and right-side up. Repeat these moves a few times to get quick results.

Next, solve the rest of the white side by looking at the top for a corner with white on it and looking at the other colors on it. This piece should go between the whites green and orange centers. Move the top until it goes right on top of where it should go. Insert the piece using two different ways: holding it on the right side and doing the right hand four moves 1 2 3 4; repeat this process twice more.

If a corner is stuck on the bottom, take it out using the same moves and continue solving. Once all corners are correct, check for all colors.

The second layer involves finding an edge piece with blue and orange colors on the top. Move it around so it matches up with the center. Match the front color red with the red center and the right side with blue.
