This is not a complicated stage because there are no solved pieces you can mess up. Use this step to familiarize with its operation. Try to group the small pieces together to form a cube with the method below. The two examples below describe how to make a cube from two easy-to-reach positions, when the thick pieces are collected in the bottom and the narrow pieces are grouped together on the top, as much as possible.
Case 1 : If every small piece is grouped in the top layer. Case 2 : If there's a lonely small piece in the top layer. To bring the cube to a square shape first you need to collect the tiny pieces next to each other or leave maximum one lonely piece between two thick corners. This is not that hard to accomplish, it can be done intuitively.
When this is done follow the steps on the pictures above. The black vertical line marks where to make the slice. First bring all corner pieces to the corresponding layer: Hold the cube with the red side facing you and the green on the right. The yellow has to come to the top and the white to the bottom. This step is not so complicated, it can be done intuitively, if not, here's a little help to swith two pieces in the top and bottom layers:.
Sometimes, the round centers get twisted, preventing turning on the middle layer. Shipping: There are two key factors which will affect the time you receive your items. Shipping methods Payment: Cubezz.

All that matters is that you line up the middle layer such that the right half of the cube can be rotated when needed.
Be aware that in Step 1, when describing how to return the Square 1 to a true cube from any shape, the figures do not use the "mirror" representation; rather, end on views are used. In that case the bottom view represents what you would see if you looked directly at the bottom.
This is exactly opposite the way the "mirror" representation works. The primary moves available for the Square 1 are to turn the top, turn the bottom, and rotate along the central vertical axis there is only one vertical axis since the middle layer only contains two pieces, as shown in the adjacent figure. With this in mind, the following notation will be used:. By convention, always hold the cube so that the yellow side of the middle layer with the words Square 1 is on the left.
Before attempting to correctly place the corners and edges, the puzzle must be in the shape of a true cube. I don't have any clear, memorizable strategies about how to go about this, other than trial and error and getting a feel for the puzzle.
However, I do have a handy-dandy but quite large table of all possible shapes the puzzle can have, along with step-by-step instructions to restore the cube shape. The table works well, but is probably not memorizable. When you have returned the Square 1 to a cube shape, the middle layer may still be non-square.
You should use Move 5 to correct this situation before going on. At this point you can either continue solving the cube manually using the moves given below, or download the Square1. Exe program, written by John Coffey john hotmail. To use the Square1 program unzip it first , you simply type in the location of the corners and edges of your cube, then follow its directions. I've had the best luck with it if I first hold the cube with the yellow side to the front and the words Square 1 upright.
Of course, the problem with using a computer program to help you solve the cube is that you don't get the satisfaction of doing it yourself.
Still, if you get completely frustrated with the following moves, the Square1. The first task is to get all of the white corners on the top and all of the green corners on the bottom. You can ignore the edge pieces for now.
