Ok, heres the problem i keep having. When i follow the patterns in 4a, it doesn't fix the orientation.
Right now i have the cube on last 6. I'm doing blue and green as my top/bottom. 4 of the 6 cubes have the blue facelet either facing up or down. the ones that are not correct are the top-back edge and the top-left edge. So i look on the handy chart and it says that "M'UM'" will fix it (because that shows the topback and topleft edge as purple). So i do those 3 moves. now the topleft, topback, topright, and bottomfront sides are messed up. same move is supposed to fix it, "M'UM'", so i do it again. topright and bottomfront are now messed up. thats not on the chart, but if i do M2U', we're back to the first situation where the topback and topleft edges are messed up. am i supposed to just keep doing M'UM' over and over until it fixes it? None of these patterns seem to accomplish anything... --- In [email protected], "kovacic81" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I use CF sometimes, with a ROUX ending.
