So, you own a Rubik’s cube. You probably already tried twisting and turning, you had
lots of fun, and then you thought: now I am really going to try and solve this thing. No
problem, right? Yeah, right. See you in 50 years.
Solving a rubiks cube can be a burden. When you are twisting, trying to solve one side,
the other side gets messed up. So, here is the solution: I think this is the simplest method
described up to now on the internet.
Primarily, the cube can be solved in a layer by layer approach using only 4 algorithms.
An algorithm is a sequence of moves (a turn of one of the six sides).
