Hi, my name is Todd with Expert Village and today I'm going to show you how to solve a Rubik's Cube. So with this side solved, we need to look at the pieces that we have left to solve. In this case, we have all the corners solved but these two are flipped and these two are flipped so we just need the sides. The algorithm we're going to need to do is as such. You're going to want to turn the front any direction, either clockwise or counter clockwise twice. You're going to want to turn the top either to the left or the right once. Turn the sides down, turn the front again twice, turn the sides up. Whichever direction you turned earlier, you're going to want to keep turning in that direction so we go left again and then turn the front twice. So now we have one side complete and we need these three sides. So we do that same algorithm again. In this case, this blue piece we need to come over here. This orange piece here and green piece here so we're wanting them all to move in a clockwise motion, remember that, that's going to be the direction we're always turning this up face. So in this case, turn front twice, turn the up face to the right clockwise. Turn the sides down, turn the face twice again. Turn the sides back up. Turn the top to the right again clockwise, always think clockwise. Turn the face twice again, and it's solved.
