How to Solve the Cube
Below is an image of the placemat.
We use it to show how to turn the cube, which face to turn and in what direction to
turn that face.
Hold your cube in front of the placemat or put it
on top of the placemat if you have saved the image and printed a physical copy.
The cube must remain stationary in relation to the placemat while you are trying to solve it.
Each triangular section of the placemat relates to the face of the cube that it
is pointing at in the picture. A blue triangle section means you must turn that face in an anticlocwise direction. Red
means turn that face
in the clockwise direction.
The Sigils
superimposing a sigil over the placemat reveals a sequence of turns that if when followed
will change the cube from its current state to a next, more desired state that
brings the cuber closer to solving the cube with the excecuting of the turns indicated in each sigil.
Below are some
example of what the sigils
superimposed over the placemat will look like. A number will be a in one of the sections of the placemat and it is telling you to
turn that face either clockwise (red) or anticlockwise (blue) and to make those turns in the order that the numbers are
presented on the face that the number is in the section of.
- The two triangular sections at the top of the placemat belong to the top or upper face of the cube.
- The two triangular sections on the right side of the placemat will indicate turns of the right side face.
- The two triangular sections on the left side of the placemat indicate to turn the left face of
the cube.
- The two triangular sections at the bottom of the placemat indicate a turn of the front face of
the cube.
