Step Two
The Second Layer | ![Cube should look like this after you finish the step.](images/layertwo.GIF) |
![You need to get these four cubes placed in this step.](images/fourmid.GIF) Figure A |
Now you need to get the four middle edge pieces, which are highlighed in Figure A. Now you need to find a
cube with two colors on it that goes in one of the highlighted spots. For
example if one of the center pieces in the middle layer was green and another
was orange and there was a edge piece with green and orange in the bottom layer
that would be the cube that you need.
![Cube colors match on the R face.](images/edge3.GIF) Figure B |
After you find the correct cube match up the color that is on the 3rd layer
to the center piece. If the color matches on the right face, like in Figure B, do this sequence (make
sure you have the correct side as your front face - green in the
figure) "B+ F+ B- F- B- R- B+ R+"
![Cube colors match on the F face.](images/edge2.GIF) Figure C |
If the color matches on the F Face, like the depiction in Figure C, do the sequence "B- R-
B+ R+ B+ F+ B- F-".
![Cube in the FR position.](images/movedown.GIF) Figure D |
If you need to drop an edge piece already in the middle layer but not in the
right spot, hold the cube so the cube you want to drop is in the FR
position and do the sequence "R- B+ R+ B+ F+ R- F-" and the cube that was in the
FR position should be dropped somewhere on the bottom layer.
![Cube in correct position but rotated incorrectly.](images/flnotrot.GIF) Figure E |
If there is a cube that is in the right spot, but is not rotated correctly, hold the cube so the
cube that is not rotated correctly is in the FR position (which is highlighted in Figure D) and then do the sequence
"R- B+ R+ B+ F+ B- F- B+ R- B+ R+ B+ F+ B- F-".
