This is a tutorial on how to solve a Rubik's Cube for those who have little or no experience with cubing.
<br /><br />
Unlike most Rubik's Cube tutorials, this one is driven by current research in the field of education. The author is both an educator and a speedcuber.
<br /><br />
This webpage is currently in progress. It will be fully completed in January 2025.

<h3>⚪ Introduction: How the Cube Works</h3>
<br />
<p>Before we learn how to solve the cube, let's learn how the cube is held together.</p>
<p>This will help us understand what we're doing better.</p>
</div>
<div>
<h3>🟢 Action: Take the Cube Apart</h3>
<table style='border-collapse: collapse;' width='700px'>
<tr>
<td align="center" style='border: 1px solid #3c7139; width: 256px'>
<img width='128px'src='../images/3x3_beginners/one-cap-off.png'>
</td>
<td style='border: 1px solid #3c7139;'>
To take the cube apart, <strong>pop</strong> off one of the <strong>caps</strong> on a center piece.
<br /><br />
If you're following along, do this on the <strong>yellow side</strong>.
<br /><br />
Next, use a screwdriver to loosen the screw until the pieces start to fall apart.
<br /><br />
Then, take out all the pieces.
</td>

</table>
</div>
<div>
<h3>🟦 Information: The Core</h3>
<table style='border-collapse: collapse;' width='700px'>
<tr>
<td align="center" style='border: 1px solid #3c7139; width: 256px'>
<img width='128px'src='../images/3x3_beginners/core.png'>
</td>
<td style='border: 1px solid #3c7139;'>
The part that holds everything together is called the <strong>core</strong>.
<br /><br />
All the center pieces on the core are connected to each other.
This is important because it means <strong>the centers never move away from each other</strong>.
<br /><br />
When we turn the cube, we're really just turning the pieces around the centers.

<h3>🟡 Explanation: Solving Pieces, Not Stickers</h3>
<p>When we're solving the cube, we're not solving stickers, we're solving pieces. Every piece has one correct spot where it belongs. <strong>The cube is solved when every piece is in its correct spot.</strong></p>

<h3>🟢 Action: Put the White Edges In</h3>
<p>It's important that we <em>don't</em> put the pieces back in randomly, because that might make the cube impossible to solve without taking it apart again.</p>
<p>Here is how to put the cube back together.</p>
<table style='border-collapse: collapse;' width='700px'>
<tr>
<td align="center" style='border: 1px solid #3c7139; width: 256px'>

</td>
<td style='border: 1px solid #3c7139;'>
Start by making the core stable so it won't fall over. Put the four <strong>white edge pieces</strong> in their correct spots.
<br/ ><br/ >
This creates a shape called a <strong>cross.</strong>

<h3>🟢 Action: Put the White Corners In</h3>

<td style='border: 1px solid #3c7139;'>
Next, put the four <strong>white corners</strong> in their correct spots.
<br/ ><br/ >
This will complete the <strong>first layer</strong>.

<div>
<h3>🟢 Action: Put the Middle Layer Edges In</h3>

</td>
<td style='border: 1px solid #3c7139;'>
Next, put the four <strong>middle layer edges</strong>. These are the edges that don't have white or yellow on them.
<br/ ><br/ >
This will complete the <strong>first two layers</strong>.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div>
<h3>🟢 Action: Put the Last Layer Pieces In</h3>
<p>So far, the order we've been putting in the pieces matches the way we'll be solving the cube, but the last layer will be different.</p>
<table style='border-collapse: collapse;' width='700px'>
<tr>
<td align="center" style='border: 1px solid #3c7139; width: 256px'>
<img width='128px'src='../images/3x3_beginners/one-edge-out.png'>
</td>
<td style='border: 1px solid #3c7139;'>
Put the <strong>last layer</strong> pieces in their correct spots in any order as long as an edge piece goes in last.
<br /><br />
It's easier to put the pieces in when the layer is turned by half a move.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div>
<h3>🟢 Action: Tighten the Screw</h3>
<p>Lastly, tighten the screw and put the yellow cap back on.</p>
<p>Once you do this, you will be ready for the rest of the tutorial.</p>

<h3>🟦 Information: Solving the Cross Quickly</h3>
<p>The fastest way to solve the cross involves figuring out the best order to do the cross pieces. It also involves working on more than one cross piece at a time.</p>
<p>The cross can always be solved in 8 turns or less. The more you practice, the better you will get at solving the cross quickly.</p>
