YOU CAN DO THE Rubik’s Master

1 YOU CAN DO. THE rubik 's Master Solution Guide GET TO KNOW YOUR rubik 'S Master How to Use this Guide Before learning to solve the rubik 's Master , you should be proficient at solving the rubik 's cube (original 3x3). Like the rubik 's cube , the rubik 's Throughout this guide please reference the rubik 's Notice the order of the Master is made up of edge, corner, cube (3x3) guide. colors, as shown in the and center pieces. Once you group the centers and pair the edges, you will image below: Both puzzles have 8 corner pieces, be solving the rubik 's Master like the rubik 's cube using however the rubik 's Master has 24. the layered method. After you learn this method, you can center pieces instead of 6, and 24. add speed cubing moves when you are ready. When WHITE is on edge pieces instead of 12. top, RED is to the Throughout the guide you will see this symbol to indicate left of BLUE Unlike the rubik 's cube , there helpful tips. Take the time to read the tips closely.

2 Is not a fixed center piece to The gray areas on the rubik 's Master mean that at the indicate the color of each face GREEN ORANGE. stage you are working on, the color of the gray pieces when the rubik 's Master is solved. is left of is right of doesn't matter. RED BLUE. The color layout is found through observations of the corner pieces, or by knowing that the rubik 's Master follows a certain color layout: YELLOW. is on bottom WHITE opposite YELLOW. RED opposite ORANGE. BLUE opposite GREEN. Tips for Success Mindset is critical - learning to solve the rubik 's Master is VERY IMPORTANT: difficult but if you persevere, you CAN solve the rubik 's Master . Keep the rubik 's Master on a table or use a mat like the one E. ach move is a turn. on to maintain the same front face for an entire algorithm (sequence of moves). Think of the algorithms as moving a piece out of the way, setting up its correct position, and then moving the piece into place. Solve one step at a time by re-scrambling your rubik 's Master and practicing multiple times before moving A.

3 N ALGORITHM is a sequence of moves that you on to the next step. need to do in a specific order. Use this guide along with You CAN Do the rubik 's cube 's W. hen following the algorithms in this guide, it is corresponding resources such as videos, solving checklist, important to maintain the FRONT face of your rubik 's songs and chants. Master so it remains the FRONT through all of the turns. 1. GET TO KNOW YOUR rubik 'S Master FACE KEY ALGORITHM KEY Slice Key ALGORITHM KEY FACE AND SLICE key ALGORITHM KEY. You probably know Face turns: Here is how we refer Slice turns: I f there are two letters then turn these faces. to the inside slices . the face and the slice as one piece. U= u= Uu =.

Then there will FRONT face, follow this algorithm: DOWN face, follow this algorithm: be 6 centers like on a rubik 's cube . Start by solving the WHITE center. ocate another WHITE center tile that is not on the UP face. Action 1 L. Rr U R'r' Rr2. Rr2 U Rr2.

There are 24 edge pieces on the rubik 's Master that need to be paired so you have If the edges are not directly across from each OR. 12 edges like a rubik 's cube . The edges other, follow this sequence to line them up. do not need to match the centers yet. Action 1 . R F' U F. Find the two orange and white edge pieces. Use outside turns to get the edge pieces on the left and right of the FRONT face. The color of the center doesn't matter. Action 3 . Hold your rubik 's Master to match one of these; Once the edges are across from each OR. you may need to turn your rubik 's Master over. other, follow this sequence to pair them. cube ONE cube TWO cube THREE cube FOUR.

7 Go to Action 2 Skip to Action 3. Action 4 . Repeat Actions 1-3 until all 24 edge pieces are paired. 6 7. STEP THREE: Solve the rubik 's Master Like the rubik 's cube Action 2 . fter grouping the centers and pairing the edges, the rubik 's A. Master can now be solved like the rubik 's cube . Solve the White Corners Solving THE WHITE CORNERS. here may be two times when solving the rubik 's Master like T. If you can't solve the White Corners, you may have the a rubik 's cube that additional steps are needed that are not Centers in the wrong color order. You'll need to go back covered in the rubik 's cube Solution Guide. These two cases and resolve the Centers and Edges. are referred to as parities. The parity fixes can be found on pages 11 (Make the yellow cross) and 13 (Position the final yellow edges) of this guide. Action 3. olve the Middle Layer keeping the paired S. edges together as one piece. This picture shows A solution guide for the rubik 's the rubik 's Master with the White face down.

STEP THREE: Solve the rubik 's Master Like the rubik 's cube Action 4 M. ake the Yellow Cross Fixing the Parity If you have 1 or 3 Yellow edge pairs on OR. the UP face, hold your rubik 's Master to match one of these images and then follow this algorithm: If you have 1 or 3 Yellow edge pairs on the UP face, follow the algorithm OR. for fixing the parity on page 11. r2 B U2 U2. r2 B2 U2 l U2 r'.
