Okay i've been learning how to work one of these cubes from a freind of mine and i've decided to test my skill by putting up a full torturial smile
oh and if anyone knows how to post a full picture that please let me know

Know that

Each cube has a specific place to be. it doesn't matter if a white cube is in the right place if the red cube its attached to isn't.
Also when you work (at least my way) you will be work around the centers. think of the center colors as the primary color which can never move.

so heres the first picture of my now-ruined cube. i'm going to try to go by this step-by-step but remember im a beginner so i may end up taking a week to do it.
also i already took some of the pictures already so the positioning might be a little odd. imma work on that

now the first thing is to figure out which square you want to solve first

Next is to start moving squares of the same color into place. Im going to start with yellow.
Remember that each cube has a place. if it's not in its specific place its not going to end up solved

take special note that each cube that you align's color matches to the color above, left, right, or below it. It can move from this position, but must eventually be returened to this position in order to be solved

Continue to match up the same color squares until you have a pluse because the corners are easier to pout into place then th sides. While putting corners the sides will mostly stay where they are

oh before you do a corner pay double check you have ALL the middle outside of the color you picked matched up with a center

( i think i figured the picture thing out smile )
Remember, the centers can't move, and it's a lot harder to do the sides then the corneres so you dont want to mess them up.
now...mes it up smile
and do it again
User Image
and again

and again(dont insult my love of yellow)

and then maybe a flower break razz

but then keep re-oing it until you can easily do that first part.

Any questions? ask me.
In the next update/post im going to start on the most important part of solving the rubix cube, Algorithms.
There are i think ten algorithms in the rubix cube and THATS important to do and redo until you memorize it by heart.
