Rubik's cube differs from many puzzles in that, once in our hands, it can make us forget about other matters. It is not so easy for a beginner lover of puzzling fun to solve a cube, especially if the principles of assembly are unknown. Assembling a cube is a sequential compilation of the faces and layers of the puzzle according to certain rules. First, let's put together the first edge.
Instructions
Step 1
Pick up a cube and examine it carefully. Regardless of how the colors of its elements are mixed, the central small cubes on each of the faces always remain in their places and do not change their position relative to each other. Choose a color for the center piece to be the top one. The front face will be right in front of you. The side surfaces of the cube conventionally oriented in this way will be the left and right sides, respectively.
Step 2
Collect the top cross. To do this, place the four side (side) cubes in their places, located in the middle of each of the upper ribs. Orient the cube so that the face you selected is not on top, but in front of you. Now sequentially display four side cubes on the front face with the side that matches the color of the central element of the face.
Step 3
To get started, choose, for example, a blue facade and a white top. There will be an orange edge on the right, a red edge on the left, and a green one on the back. Place the first die (blue-white). In the same way, place the three remaining side cubes in their places. As a result of the operations performed, a cross will appear on the top face of the cube, made up of a central element and four side cubes.
Step 4
Move on to composing the corners of the top layer. To do this, by rotating the structure, bring the required cube to the lower left corner of the front face, for example, white-orange-blue. Each of the corner cubes can take one of several possible positions. Similarly, move the cube you need to the upper right corner. Repeat the operation until the top face is the same color as its center element.
Step 5
When assembling the top face, beware of making a common mistake among beginners. When assembling a cube, your task is not just to assemble a face of a certain color, but to build a layer. It is the construction of the layers of the cube, and not of its faces, that leads to the final result. If you set out to lay out only the surface of the face in one color, without worrying about the color matching of the side surfaces, then further assembly of the cube will become a problem for you - you will have to start working from the very beginning.
