Mister Rubik
Yes. After many long hours of trial and error, desperation, mental anguish and countless failures, I have finally solved the rubik's cube. Now I just need to finish memorising all those pesky algorithms...DLD'L'D'F'DF D'F'DFDLD'L' FURU'R'F' LU'R'UL'U'RU2, etc etc
Anyway, this is the basic method I use, for anyone who might be remotely interested in it. This method also happens to be the msot n00b method I have come across so far, with relatively detailed instructions. Note that I did not come up with any part of it myself and thus I will not be held responsible for any errors.
Step 1: Form the cross. I prefer to use the white layer, although it may often be faster to use other colours which are better positioned already.
Step 2: Finish the top layer
Step 3: Insert the 2nd layer sides, using 2 different algorithms where appropriate
Step 4: Form a cross on the remaining (bottom) side
Step 5: Shift the corners in to the correct position (not neccessarily correct orinetation though)
Step 6: Orient the corners correctly
Step 7: Permutate the edges
...and you're done!
