Step 3 Clarification

[Sweetypie1281]

Wow, yur voice is a little blurred, can you add subtittles?

[cheesenips12393]

At the end when its how its sposed to be, does it have to look like that?

[jeaysm]

At the end of this step you basically have the bottom two layers of the cube finished, not including one edge piece and the corner directly below it. It doesn't matter what pieces are in those two spots (sometimes they are even solved by accident). The top layer is completely random after this step.

Do you have any documents with illustratin to save in ms word document in order to ba able to prine to have my own copy to read?

[jeaysm]

Sorry, I don't have any illustrations but you can print out my web page and cheat sheets. Check the link in the side bar.

thanks ha...

[MajorOwnage92]

wow your instructions are very poorly explained...it is also an unlogical way to solve the cube...example: there doesnt have to be an unsolved corner and there also doesnt have to be an unsolved edge...wow. if you need help with the cube. check out dan brown's videos. he is a genious

[ralma95]

@MajorOwnage92 My thoughts exactly. I guess he must have forgotten that people are actually trying to follow his instruction, which is the whole point of the video. Isn't it?

Also in step three how do you move a piece to the Front, Back, Leftor Right bottom left or right corner

In step three how do you move a piece to the Front, Back, Left or Right bottom middle

[jonnyjoebabyfro]

The first two videos have taught me how to complete any given side entirely..when it comes to middle edge pieces and knowing what move to choose, however, I'm lost. help!

[chazz002000]

Hey, I figured out almost everything...My only trouble is, one of my edges I'm trying to do is in the URF position (I think that's right) Am I suppose to have one unsolved? Or is there a way to finish that piece?

[jeaysm]

There is indeed supposed to be one middle-layer edge piece unsolved after this step. You'll finish that piece in Step 4. You only need two letters to define an edge piece (either UR or UF, for example). URF would be a corner piece. You could solve the final middle-layer edge piece if you want, but it's a waste of time because you'll be using that space in Step 4 so it will become unsolved again.

would it be possible to write the algorithims down on the screen at all? or with a piece of paper? as i can already do the cube, just want to see if your way is faster

[RedoubtWolf]

I get how to do it, I know I need the middle edge pieces solved, and I've worked with it enough to know the moves now, but I just cannot get two thirds of the cubed solved when I'm done getting those middle edge pieces.

[traviceo]

i also have this problem and dont know how to fix it. please healp???!!!

[melissahelp]

ok i kinda get it thank you if anything ill let you know

[Jawnee]

I still don't get it.. what colors am I supposed to be getting on each of these sides?

[melissahelp]

im just commenting you to ask for some help. im still having truble with this step. i can do the middle layer completly right just like yours but the bottom layer dosent match the middle layer. What can i do?

[jeaysm]

The bottom layer isn't supposed to match the middle layer. In the first two steps you solved all of one color (now the bottom layer) minus one piece. In this step, however, you are just solving three edge pieces. Remember that the center piece determines the color for each side, so this step just adds to the goal of getting each of the four sides adjoining the bottom layer to be a bit closer to being completed. It sounds like you're on the right track to me.

[icedjoker942]

when i finish this step, i only have 1 "working block"

[jeaysm]

That's how it should be, the bottom two layers should be completely solved except for one middle layer edge piece and the corner piece right below it.
