Introduction

Solving a rubik's cube may seem intimidating but with a little practice and effort you can amaze all your friends. The Rubik's cube has six sides, one with each color and a center. White, Yellow, Red, Orange, Blue and Green. These centers are also fixed and do not move. White is always opposite from yellow, red is opposite from orange and blue is opposite from green. This is the most basic color scheme of a Rubik's cube. There are corner pieces and edge pieces. The center pieces will not move and the corners and edges are the only things you need to worry about. The method we are going to use today to solve the cube is called the Fridrich Method. The first step involves making a cross on a side, then solving the corner and the edge between the cross which solves the first two bottom layers, orienting the entire top layer and then permuting the pieces around the top layer.
