for mau2x part one...

mau, i purposely made this site for you kay i find it really hard i.post sa friendster, isa pa blocked ang friendster sa among office, tapos kung i.email nako, i cant verify kung makita ba ang mga picture, so nagbuhat kog blogsite... mao ning mga instructions on how to arrange the cube, the beginner's way... the colors might not correspond to the color arrangement sa imo rubic's cube, pag imagine nlng since wlay stardard color arrangement sa rubic's cube, isa pa maayo btaw kag imagination.. ok? so here....

I supposed all the colors in layer 1 including the top colors were arrange, now let’s arrange 2^nd layer the basic way…. (Nose bleeding is required since I’ll be giving all the instructions in English, I repeat, ENGLISH!!! Except of course in areas where I myself cannot express in English, whatever!!!!

Now let’s begin… are you ready? clap your hands three times and hold the cube tightly, don’t forget to clap your hands…

(For the record color gray means ignore-this-tiles-for-a-moment, ok?)

After arranging the 1^st layer and the top layer, position the center tile on the 2^nd layer that will correspond to the first layer, this move doesn’t have any tricks or whatever there is since this is a preset position. (nose bleed). Supposed all four center tiles on layer 2 has been positioned lets arrange the sides of the second layer… oh yeah!!!

Let’s pretend that you have the white color opposite to yellow color which on this case was our top layer, ok? We are so pretentious here, just bare with me…

Now you need chose any two partnered (is there such term as partnered? hehehe) tile on the center of the third and bottom layer that does not have any white color on it… like this…

OR THIS

Just as long as there is no white color on both tiles (red and green colors are at the other sides where we cant see for this case, another assumption and pretensions hehehe)

Let’s take example number 1, the one that has orange and blue colors… turn it to the side where the color of the bottom tile correspond to the color of the center tile on the 2^nd layer and color of the center tile of the 3^rd layer correspond to the color of the center tile of the 2^nd layer to It’s adjacent side, parehas aning picture sa ubos, ang blue naa sa bottom layer tapos ang orange naa sa side, partner and tawag nato ani sa ila .. like this…

from here:










to here:

Now let’s start with the process of solving the second layer, since all the center tiles of the second layer are arrange, we are going to arrange the sides of the 2^nd layer.

1. turn the blue side counter-clockwise ( ill be using CCW for counter-clockwise all through out ky medyo gadali ko ky ang mga tao sa ofis gakatingala na unsay akong kabusihan and CW for clockwise, ok?)
2. then turn the bottom layer to the CCW.
3. turn the blue side CW
4. face the blue side
5. turn both side downwards (the side containing orange and the opposite side I think it’s red or green, whatever, I cant see what you’re seeing)
6. now turn the bottom layer to the CW
   
7. turn the side with the orange color upside
8. then turn the bottom layer to the CCW
   
9. turn the side opposite of the orange side upwards
10. turn the orange side downwards
11. turn the bottom layer to the CCW
    
12. turn the orange side upwards.

By now your cube should look like this….

Now mangita na pud kag color sa center sa 3^rd layer nga wlay white, take example 2… this one…
Then turn it to the side where blue and red are adjacent… like this…

Tapos repeat steps 1 to twelve hangtud ma complete ang second layer.. in case ang mahitabo ing-ani…

Sa step one blue side ra japon imo i.turn CW, sa step 2 instead of turning the bottom layer CCW, sa right na nimo i.turn. same ang step 3. sa step four instead of facing the blue side, face the orange side. Sa step 5 mao ra japon turn both side downwards (the side containing blue and the opposite side I think it’s red or green). Sa step six instead of turning the bottom layer CW turn it CCW. sa step 7, turn the side with the blue color upside, step 8, turn the bottom layer CW. turn the side opposite of the blue side upwards. turn the blue side downwards. turn the bottom layer to the CW. turn the blue side upwards. So mao ran a pag arrange sa second layer…

mau, practice sa aning second layer ha? unya na pud ang third layer kay medyo na busy na pud kos work, char kau... ok? unya cguro hapon nko humanon ang third layer, ill post it here... if you have any questions just give me a ring, you know my number.. okies?
