How to solve a Rubik's Cube

These instructions are based off of Dan Brown's YouTube Video.  I just put his video tips into writing.  I didn't spend time on explaining how to solve a single layer, because I can usually do that without using any algorithms.  It's always layer 2 and 3 that I could never seem to figure out. Part 1 Solving a single side: Ensure that the center pieces match up to the middle edge pieces of the side you are solving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsQIoPyfQzM Algorithms for side 1:         Fi U Li Ui         Ri Di R D Part 2: Solving layer 2 and layer 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW_BBp3FPMQ How to solve the Rubik’s Cube 2)       Solve the 2 nd layer of the cube. a.        Flip solved side down. b.       Look in top layer for a middle edge piece that does not have the top center color in it. c.        Align that piece with the color section it needs to go to. d.       Then, to move the piece left: Ui, Li, U, L, U, F, Ui, Fi To move the pi
