Rubik Cubed (Posted on 2005-11-14) Difficulty: 4 of 5

These 4 Images are of the same Rubik's cube, which has been muddled up using 6 moves. Can you describe how to solve it?

Use the colour of the centre square of the face turned, followed by CW or CCW to describe your moves: for example, Blue CW, or Red CCW. If you feel a 180-degree rotation is needed, use CW2.

NOTE, the centres never move in relation to each other.

The first thing I did was get out my rubik's cube.  I copied onto ms paint and changed the colors to match my cube.  Next (and this was quite difficult), I set my cube into the position shown in the picture.  I have to be a lot more careful when setting the cube to an unpatterned position.  I use a home-made algorithm to solve the cube.

Next, I did trial and error with several sequences of moves.  I carefully wrote down exactly what I did so I could easily undo all the moves.  This turned out to be harder than I thought.  Eventually, I decided that if I solved a single face in as few moves as possible, perhaps the other faces would all fix themselves.  I had success when trying the white side.

Here is the solution (I have converted all the colors back to those in the picture)

Blue CCW
Yellow CCW
Green CCW
White CCW
Orange CW
Yellow CW
