Assembling the corners and ribs in the top layer is the final step in assembling the entire Rubik's Cube. At this point, the bottom, middle layers and the top in the third layer of the cube should be collected.

Instructions

Step 1

After assembling the "cap" in the last layer, the two corner cubes should already be correctly assembled. Turning the top of the cube, they need to be brought to their place.

Step 2

Before further turns, you will need to hold the cube so that the other two irregular corner cubes, located on the opposite side, are looking to the left. Raise the right 90 ° up, move the top 180 ° to the left, lower the right 90 ° towards ourselves, turn the top 90 ° to the right, raise the right 90 ° up. Then we turn the top 180 ° to the left, turn the left 90 ° away from ourselves, turn the top 90 ° to the left, turn the right 90 ° towards ourselves, turn the top 90 ° to the right, turn the left 90 ° towards ourselves. Now two correctly assembled corner cubes are in place on the diagonal.

Step 3

The other two corner cubes must be swapped diagonally correctly. Before spinning, hold the cube in such a way that one wrong cube is on the upper side in the upper right corner, and the second is in the lower left. Raise the left 90 ° up, turn the top 90 ° to the left, raise the right 90 ° up, rotate the top 90 ° to the right, move the left 90 ° towards ourselves, rotate the top 90 ° to the left, turn the left 90 ° away from ourselves … Then we turn the top 90 ° to the left, turn the right 90 ° towards ourselves, move the top 90 ° to the right, lower the left by 90 ° towards ourselves, turn the top 180 ° to the right, raise the right 90 ° away from ourselves, rotate the top 180 ° to the right, we take the right by 90 ° to ourselves. All four corner cubes fall into place.

Step 4

After the corner cubes are in their places, we proceed to the correct installation of the edge elements in the third layer. There can be 4 cases here.

Step 5

When no edge element is in place, hold the cube as shown in the picture and perform the following rotations. We lift the right 90 ° away from ourselves, rotate the back 90 ° to the right, move the right 90 ° towards ourselves, turn the back side 90 ° to the left, turn the front side 90 ° to the right, move the right 90 ° towards ourselves, rear edge set aside 90 ° to the right. Then we rotate the front face 90 ° to the right, turn the right 90 ° towards ourselves, turn the back face 90 ° to the left, move the right 90 ° towards ourselves, rotate the front face 180 ° to the left, move the top 90 ° clockwise.

Step 6

When all the edge elements are wrong and they need to be swapped with a cross, we perform such rotations. We move the right 180 ° away from ourselves, we also move the left 180 ° away from ourselves, turn the lower edge 90 ° counterclockwise, lower the right by 180 ° towards ourselves, lower the left by 180 ° towards ourselves, rotate the top 180 ° counterclockwise clockwise. Then we move the right 180 ° away from ourselves, we also move the left 180 ° away from ourselves, turn the lower edge 90 ° counterclockwise, lower the left side by 180 ° towards ourselves, and lower the right by 180 ° towards ourselves.

Step 7

When 3 edge cubes need to be swapped clockwise, hold the cube so that the assembled face looks back. Then we move the right 180 ° away from ourselves, rotate the top 90 ° to the left, raise the right 90 ° away from ourselves, turn the top 90 ° to the left, take the right 90 ° towards ourselves, turn the top 90 ° to the right. Then we lower the right 90 ° towards ourselves, rotate the top 90 ° to the right, take the right 90 ° towards ourselves, rotate the top 90 ° to the left, and take the right 90 ° towards ourselves.

Step 8

When 3 edge cubes need to be swapped counterclockwise, do the following. We lift the right 90 ° away from ourselves, rotate the top 90 ° to the right, move the right 90 ° away from ourselves, turn the top 90 ° to the left, raise the right 90 ° away from ourselves, rotate the top 90 ° to the left. Then we move the right 90 ° away from ourselves, rotate the top 90 ° to the right, move the right 90 ° towards ourselves, turn the top 90 ° to the right, lower the right by 180 ° towards ourselves.
