How to Solve a Rubik's Cube - Step 4 - Top Cross

Link to Step 5 - Complete the Top Face http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnCh0bfaZ9U A tutorial on how to solve the top cross. The algorithm we must know for this step is: F T R Ti Ri Fi. (i = the inverse move or counter-clockwise a quarter turn) Official/Standard Notation: F U R Ui Ri Fi *NOTE* There are obviously many different algorithms for solving the cube, especially the last layer of the Rubik's Cube. The algorithms I have chosen are the ones which produce results and patterns that I feel are easiest for a beginner to recognize and memorize. I also use the letter T for the "Top" or "Up" face, but please note that U is the "official" letter for the Upper face. This is really irrelevant as far as performing the algorithm, as long as you know when to turn the top face, you can call it whatever you like. Looking on the top face, after the bottom two layers are completed, you should see one of FOUR different patterns. IMPORTANT**For this step, the YELLOW CORNER pieces do NOT matter. We are ONLY looking at YELLOW EDGE pieces and also the center yellow piece on top. The four different patterns for the top yellow face are: One yellow center piece, a horizontal line, an L shape, or a cross. **IMPORTANT** The cube must be held in certain ways in order to perform the algorithm, so please view the video diagram to make sure you are performing the move correctly. ONCE YOU HOLD THE PATTERN ON THE TOP FACE CORRECTLY, THE FACE THAT IS CLOSEST TO YOU (FACING YOU DIRECTLY) IS NOW THE FRONT FACE! how to solve a rubik's rubiks rubix rubics cube 3x3 tutorial rubik's help step by speed speedsolve solving unscramble fix learn simple easy easiest quick lesson cross fridrich petrus 3x3x3 4x4 5x5 revenge professor method algorithm beginners solution walk through guide
