Step 5- The Last Layer Corner Positioning
This is the next step for Last Layer. We will do something different
than what we did to the edges. We're going to position the corners in
the correct position, regardless of their correct orientation. This
step is simple enough to be done with any assistance of flash graphics.To understand this step, you need to realize that for the corners to be in the correct position, certain rules must apply. Look at the corner. Ignore the color on that corner that is the same color of the center of the Last Layer (yellow or blue in most cases). Notice the other two colors. When the corner is in the correct position, the corner with two colors (red and blue for example) would be adjacent to the red and blue centers. Now, follow the correct steps for the corresponding situation. You may need to rotate the Last Layer a little bit to have it match one of the situations Situation 1- The corners are all in the correct positions. This step is already completed. You can go on to Step 6. Situation 2- Two adjacent corners need to be switched. This is the most likely and easiest situation. Put the corners that need to be switched on the right side of the top of the cube. Then perform the following algorithm: L U' R' U L' U' R U2 Situation 3- Two diagonal corners need to be switched. Perform the algorithm above, then re-examine your cube and follow the Situation 2 steps. Now, all of your corners should be in the correct position |
