only if a piece is in the right spot but not in the right orientation, and do
it before the other middle move)

3. T-Move!!!!!
align piece on bottom row under the center square on
it’s same colored face.The three
top pieces, the center square, and this piece should be the same color and
form a T.This is the front side
(face).The color that is on the
same piece is on the bottom face of the cube.The side (face) to which this piece is going to move is the
colored side.

To
Get A Bottom Cross
1. Slant Move #1 (to get a
right slant)
Middle column down towards you
bottom row right
middle column up
bottom row right
middle column down
bottom row right
middle column up
bottom row right
middle column down
bottom row right
middle column up
turn bottom row left instead of right to get a left
slant
2. Slant Move #2
view the bottom of the cube.Turn it so that the two colors that you
want to be the bottom color to form the slant are in the bottom row-middle
column and middle row-right column positions
turn the cube towards you once so the bottom is now
on the bottom again.
middle column down towards you
bottom row right
middle column up
bottom row 180*
middle column down
bottom row right
middle column up
3. Line Move(only works with a line on the bottom)
orient the cube so the line on the bottom is pointing
towards you
turn middle column down towards you (this will move
the entire line away from you so it points at the ground)
bottom row right
middle column up
bottom row right
middle column down
bottom row left
middle column up
bottom row right
middle column down

Bottom
Moves
1. Corner Swap move.(do this to swap the front two bottom
corners) (be careful… orientation will change!
right column down towards you
bottom row left
right column up away from you
front face clockwise
bottom row right
front face counter clockwise
right column down towards you
bottom row right
right column up away from you
2. Fish move
to find the origin side, take the color on the bottom
and push the representatives in the bottom corners to rotate the cube
until the 3rd one.The
column that this is on is the origin column
origin column down towards you
bottom row away from origin column
origin column up
bottom row away from origin column
origin column down
bottom row 180* away from origin column (say, “away
away”)
origin column up
3. Anti-fish move (to
learn where to use this, just do the fish move on a solved cube and study it)
hold cube such that the second representative of the
bottom color is on the bottom left of the front face.
right column down towards you
bottom 180
right column up away from you
bottom into the right column
right column down towards you
bottom into the right column
right column up away from you
4. Bridge move (bridges are
found on sides; they can be two 3’s over two 2’s or a solid side)
orient bridge so it is on the left side (face) of the
cube.The left column of the front
face of the cube is called the bridge column
bridge column down towards you
bottom row left (into bridge column)
right column down
bottom row right (into right column)
bridge column up
bottom row right (into bridge column)
right column up
5. Campbell Move(still in experimentation… check on a solved
cube… but I know this move is a winner)
left and right columns down
bottom row right
left column up
bottom left
right column up
bottom right
left column down
bottom left
left column up
6. Anti-Campbell Move
(still in experimentation… check on a solved cube… but I know this move is a
winner)
left column down
bottom right
left column up
bottom left
right column down
bottom right
left column down
bottom left
left and right columns up
7. Random patterns and notes
to know…
Double Diamond on bottom
Hold the cube so that the representatives of the bottom
color are in the bottom left (or bottom right) square of the front face
and the bottom right (or bottom left) square of the right face.
Do a fish move; the origin column is the right
column (or left column) on the front face
Cross on bottom with fish eyes
Do a bridge on the side without a representative of
the bottom color (between the fish eyes)
Cross on bottom without fish eyes
Still working on this one…
two 3’s and a 1 in middle on bottom strait eyes (when
the 1 on the bottom is pointing towards you)
an anti-fish move using the origin column as one of
the strait eyes
two 3’s and a 1 in middle on bottom fish eyes
(when the 1 on the bottom is pointing towards you)
do a bridge move choosing one of the columns of the
front face to be a bridge column
Solid color on bottom
Bridge or fish randomly
bottom 2x2 square
do slant move #1 or #2
two 3’s above a 1 in bottom corner on a side
do a bridge or a fish starting with the column with
the 1 in it
two 3’s above a connected 2 in the bottom row of a
side
do a bridge or a fish starting with the column with
the odd color in it
Solving Moves
1. 3 bridges and a solid side
move (version #1)
turn solid side away from you
fish towards the color of the bridge on the side that
is the same as the color under the bridge facing you
do the fish move one more time after this for the
finesh!
2. 3 bridges and a solid side
move (version #2)
position the cube with the solid side on either the
left or the right side such that the color under the bridge facing you is
the same as the color of the bridge on the back face.If the…
Solid side is on the left
i.bottom row 180*
ii.middle column down towards you
iii.bottom row right
iv.middle column up
v.bottom row right
vi.middle column down
vii.bottom row 180*
viii.middle column up
ix.bottom row right
x.middle column down

vi.middle column down
vii.bottom row 180*
viii.middle column up
ix.bottom row left
x.middle column down
xi.bottom row left
xii.middle column up
3.3 bridges and
a solid side move (version #3)
1.look at 3 bridges… the color under the bridge must move right
or left to be in the correct place; take note of this.
2.position cube such that solid side is towards you and the
three bridges are on the back, left, and right faces.
3.turn back face 180 degrees.
4.rotate bottom row right or left once depending on step
one.
5.move flanking sides down towards you.
6.turn back face 180 degrees.
7.move flanking sides up away from you.
8.rotate bottom row right or left once depending on step
one.
9.turn back face 180 degrees.
4.4 bridge
kitty-corner move (color under front bridge is color over bridge left of
it, and vice versa)
hold cube so that a pair of colors is on the
left/front side
bottom row right
right column up away from you
left column up away from you
front face 180*
right column down 180* towards you
left column down 180* towards you
back face 180*
right column up away from you
left column up away from you
bottom row right
middle column 180*
bottom row right
middle column 180*
bottom row right
5.4 bridges across move (version #1) (color under front bridge
is color of bridge opposite it, and vice versa)
bottom row right
middle column 180* up towards you
bottom row 180*
middle column 180* up away from you
bottom row right
rotate entire cube once up away from you, so that
what once was the front face is now the top face, and what once was the
bottom face is now the front face)
right column up away from you
left column up away from you
front face 180*
right column 180* down towards you
left column 180* down towards you
back face 180*
right column up away from you
left column up away from you
6. 4 bridges across move
(version #2) (color under front bridge is color of bridge opposite it, and
vice versa)
middle column down towards you
bottom right
middle column up away from you
bottom 180*
middle column down towards you
bottom right
middle column up away from you
turn entire cube to the left so that the former right
side is now the front side (this will be a solid face)
repeat steps 1-7
7. Mark Move
1.hold cube so that there
is a solid side on the right and the bottom right corner of the front face is
in the right spot and the bottom left and bottom middle pieces on the back face
are in the right spot
do a bridge move starting on the right column on the
front face.
immediately do a fish move on the same column after
completion of the bridge move.
