1.Corners_Goal 1: First 4 Corners, Bring Yellow Color To Top Face

We begin with Corners, because this is common to all complexity Cubes. When working with Corners, we will be ignoring all other Cube pieces, i.e. Edges and Centers.

The first Color we will work with is Yellow, and the first goal is to bring all the Corner pieces that have Yellow (there are four of them) to the Top row, with the Yellow color on the Top Face.

We have a Formula that will swap and rotate the two Corners that are located in the Top-Front-Right space (under your right thumb as you hold the cube in your hands) and the Corner directly below that, in the Down-Front-Right space. In order for this to be advantageous, we want to begin by setting up the Cube so that one of the four Yellow Corners will begin in one of those two spots before we do our movement.

DEMONSTRATION:

SETUP: Examine the two Corner pieces pictured. Is there a Corner piece with Yellow in one of the two positions? If no, Twist the bottom Row by quarter turns until the answer is yes.

If Yellow is already on the Top Face in the Top-Front-Right space, Twist the Top Row by quarter turns until an unsolved piece is in that spot. If Yellow is the top color on all the top four Corners, this step is completed, move to the next step.

PLACEMENT:

Begin with an unsolved Corner piece in the Top-Front-Right space (under your right thumb as you hold the Cube in your hands), and a Corner Piece with Yellow in either that space or the Corner directly below it.

Do Formula A as shown. Continue until the Yellow Color has made its way to the top face.

RESET:

When the Yellow is on the Top Face, Return to SETUP above. Continue until Yellow is on the Top Face for all four top Corners, then proceed to next step.
