How do you solve a 2x2 Rubiks Cube- A Universal Formula To Help you

Today we will introduce a powerful universal formula to solve the 2x2 Rubiks Cube. 

Steps to restore the 2x2 Rubik's cube:  

1. Restore the white "bottom layer", including the surrounding colors should be aligned, not just the white one side! 

2. The universal formula of the 2x2 Rubik's cube

-This formula is very simple, it is done with the Right Hand with 4 steps, which must be kept in mind. Please refer to the animated demonstration of the "upper left and lower right" formula below:

3. Steps to restore the bottom four corner blocks

Important Notice: The first step is to restore the white "bottom layer", including the surrounding colors should be aligned, not just the white one side! 

Animated demo:  

Note: The dynamic diagram demonstrates the most complicated situation. It takes five repetitions of the "upper left and lower right" formula to restore a corner block, generally no more than five times.) 

3. The steps to restore the TOP YELLOW: 

-This step is also a set of "upper left and lower right" formula, which is not difficult, but pay attention to some points.  Animated demo: 

Note: In the process of restoring the top yellow, in addition to formulas, when adjusting the 2x2 Rubik’s cube, the white layer (on the top) CANNOT be rotated. Once 2x2 Rubiks cube is rotated, it will inevitably lead to errors in restoration..

4. Adjust the order of the top edge blocks

-The formula for this step is slightly longer, but the formula of "upper left and lower right" is still applied. If it is difficult to read the picture description, you can directly watch the GIF animation demonstration.

Let's talk about the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the bottom layer. It is written in the picture that it rotates counterclockwise, which is not wrong. Although it is very counterintuitive, the rule of 2x2 Rubik's cube rotation is: which surface is rotated, which surface is used as the reference frame. Just imagine a clock turning on the bottom, and you can understand why it is counterclockwise. 

GIF demo of top edge block order adjustment:  

It should be noted in this step that the white layer cannot be rotated during adjustment, and the white layer should be placed on the top surface to make the formula

PS: If you did not restore the 2x2 Rubik’s cube according to this tutorial, please check three points first:

1. Did the first step accurately restore the bottom layer as I said? (not only one face)

2. Is the rotation of each step accurate? (For example, is there a wrong turn clockwise or counterclockwise?)

4.Is there an assembly error in the 2x2 Rubik's cube? (For example, inadvertently twisted a corner in the middle?)
