Solu9on:[ r' F r ]
In this guide I chose the yellow color to begin with. Solving the first center block should be fairly
easy, as there are no pieces to preserve. Here is how you should approach it: Start by matching 2
center pieces adjacently to each other, and bring the 3rd & 4th pieces to them.
Example: solving the 4th center piece.
Explana9on: by doing an r' move you will bring down the upper-right yellow center piece on the
top face into the front face (now it will adjacently match the center piece on front face), then an F
move to align both pieces on the right side of the front face, and finally an r move to bring them
both upwards into the top face, and form a complete yellow center block.
If the yellow piece on the front face were on a different posiFon in the front face (out of the 4
possible posiFons), you could just make some F turns to adjust it. Same goes for the top face.
I kept the instrucFons short for this part, as it's an intuiFve part. Just take some Fme to pracFce the
movements of the 4x4 cube, and you will shortly master the ability to create center blocks
intuiFvely.
The 2nd center block: The second center block to solve needs to be the opposite in color to the
previous we've just solved: Since we'd just solve the yellow center block, now we should solve the
white center block (This applies only to original color scheme cubes! Where yellow is in opposite to
white, red to orange, and blue to green. )
Flip the cube upside down, so the yellow center block will be on boMom. The way to solve the white
center block is by reposiFoning the white center pieces, one by one (or in pairs), into the top face
(without harming the solved center block on boMom of course).
Since the only pieces to preserve are the boMom & top centers, you can freely turn: F / B / R / L
layers.
The way to "upload" a center piece from a side face (F / B / R / L) into the Upper face is using the
