I am Bob Burton, Rubik's Cube Expert and Webmaster of cubewhiz.com. I have been solving Rubik's cubes for about six years and compete in competitions all around the world. Now I am going to teach you how to solve a Rubik's cube puzzle. All you need to get started is a Rubik's cube.

First I will show you how to prepare a Rubik's cube for solving. Then next I will explain each step. The first step being solving the first layer across, then the first layer corners, next the middle layer edges, next orienting the last layer edges, then the last layer corners, and finally permuting the last layer edges and last layer corners of the Rubik's cube. Now that we are ready, lets get started.
