How Moves are Notated
Here is how I show the Rubik’s Cube moves. It’s pretty easy once you get the hang of it:
 |
Turn the right face clockwise one turn. |
 |
Turn the right face twice. You can actually turn it clockwise or counterclockwise. |
 |
Turn the right face counterclockwise one turn. |
 |
Rotate the front face clockwise. |
 |
Rotate the front face twice, either direction. |
 |
Rotate the front face counterclockwise. |
 |
Turn the upper face counterclockwise one turn. |
There are more that all follow this same style.
These next moves turn middle "slices." To do this, just rotate the middle part of the cube.
 |
Rotate the middle slice upwards. |
 |
Rotate the middle slice twice. You can do this either direction. |
 |
Rotate the middle slice downwards. |
 |
Rotate the "equator" to the left. |
 |
Rotate the equator twice, either direction. |
 |
Rotate the equator to the right. |
