The puzzle Rubik's Cube or “ the Hungarian cube ” has drawn attention, and has received the broadest distribution. Rubik's Cube (commonly misspelled rubix, rubick's or rubics cube) is a Mechanical puzzle invented by Erno Rubik's. We shall try to tell about how to put in order the mixed Rubik's Cube.In 1977 Erno Rubik's most original of all puzzles was patented. Rubik's Cube was actually in the making a few years before 1977; it's official invention year was 1974 in Budapest Hungary. It was called by several different names, including the Cube, the Hungarian Cube, and the Magic Cube, until the Ideal Toy Corporation bought the rights in September 1979 and renamed it Rubik's Cube. Rubik's cube has nine square on each side. The puzzle comes in four widely available versions: the 2×2×2 ("Pocket Cube"), the 3×3×3 standard cube, the 4×4×4 ("Rubik's Revenge"), and the 5×5×5 ("Professor's Cube").
Accepted system of designations: sides of a Rubik's Cube are designated by letters F, B, R, L, U, D initial letters of words a facade, back, right, left, up, down. The central cubes define color of a side, that is it is possible to tell, what even in completely mixed cube the central cubes are picked already up and it is necessary to attach to each of them on 8 cubes of the same color. The central cubes are designated by one letter: f, r, l, u, d .
Costal cubes (them 12 pieces) belong to two sides and are designated by two letters, for example f-r, r-u, f-d , etc. Angular cubes - three letters under the name of sides, for example, f-ri-t, f-l-b , etc. Capital letters F, B, R, L, U, D designate elementary operations of turn of a corresponding side (layer) of a cube on 90 ° clockwise. Designations F ', B ', R ', L ', U ', D ' correspond to turn of sides on 90 ° counter-clockwise. Designations F*2, R*2 , etc. speak about double turn of a corresponding side ( F*2 = FF ).
The letter C (center) designate turn of an average layer. The interlinear index shows, on the part of what side it is necessary to do this turn. For example Cr on the part of the right side, Cd on the part of down, C'l - on the part of left, counter-clockwise, etc. The Letter [O] turn (revolution) of all cube. [O-f] on the part of a front side clockwise, etc. Record of process (F' R') D*2 (R F) means: to turn a front side counter-clockwise on 90 °, the same the right side, to turn the bottom side twice (that is on 180 °) to turn the right side on 90 ° but to a hour hand to turn a front side.
Now we shall pass actually to assembly of a Rubik's Cube 2. There are some different systems, but we most of all like level-by-level assembly when collect all over again one layer, then to the second and, at last, the third. Only 7 stages of assembly of this game

Rubik's Cube (commonly misspelled rubix, rubick's or rubics cube) is a Mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by the Hungary Sculptor and Professorof Architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the "Magic Cube" by its inventor, this puzzle was renamed "Rubik's Cube" by Ideal Toys in 1980 and also won the 1980 German "Game of the Year" (Spiel des Jahres) special award for Best Puzzle. It is said to be the world's best-selling toy, with some 300,000,000 Rubik's Cubes and imitations sold worldwide.A Rubik's Cube has nine square facelets on each side, giving fifty-four facelets in total, and occupies a volume of twenty-seven unit Cube. Typically, the faces of the cube are covered by nine stickers in six solid colours; there is one colour for each side of the cube. When the puzzle is solved, each face of the cube is a solid colour. The cube celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2005, when a special edition cube in a presentation box was released, featuring a sticker in the centre of the reflective face (which replaced the white face) with a "Rubik's Cube 1980-2005" logo.The puzzle comes in four widely available versions: the 2×2×2 ("Pocket Cube"), the 3×3×3 standard cube, the 4×4×4 ("Rubik's Revenge"), and the 5×5×5 ("Professor's Cube"). Recently, Greek inventor Panagiotis Verdes patented a method of creating cubes beyond the 5×5×5, up to 11×11×11 level. His designs, which include improved mechanisms for the 3×3×3, 4×4×4, and 5×5×5, are suitable for Speed cubing, whereas existing designs for cubes larger than 3×3×3 are prone to breaking. As of June 1st, 2007, these designs are still being tested and are not widely available yet, although videos of actual, working prototypes for the 6×6×6 and 7×7×7 have been released.Conception and development.In March 1970, Harry D. Nichols invented a 2x2x2 "Puzzle with Pieces Rotatable in Groups" and filed a U.S. patent application for it. Nichols' cube was held together with magnets.In April 9, 1970, Frank Roxy invented and applied to patent "Spherical 3x3x3", he finally received his UK patent (1344259) on January 16th 1974, but still before Erno Rubik received his.Rubik invented his "Magic Cube" in 1974 and obtained Hungarian patent HU170062 for the Magic Cube in 1975 but did not take out international patents. The first test batches of the product were produced in late 1977 and released to Budapest toy shops. Magic Cube (later "Rubik's Cube") was held together with interlocking plastic pieces that were less expensive to produce than the magnets in Nichols' design. In September 1979, a deal was signed with Ideal Toys to bring the Magic Cube to the Western World, and the puzzle made its debut at toy fairs in January and February 1980.Nichols assigned his patent to his employer Moleculon Research Corp which sued Ideal Toy Company in 1982. In 1984 Ideal lost the patent infringement suit and appealed. In 1986 the appeals court affirmed the judgment that Rubik's 2x2x2 Pocket Cube infringed Nichols' patent, but overturned the judgment on Rubik's 3x3x3 Cube. So Nichols and Moleculon lost. Terutoshi Ishigi acquired Japanese patent JP55‒8192 for a nearly identical mechanism while Rubik's patent application was being processed, but Ishigi is generally credited with an independent reinventionPopularity.Over one hundred million Rubik's Cubes were sold in the period from 1980 to 1982. It won the British Association of Toy Retailers award in 1980 and again in 1981. Many similar puzzles were released shortly after the Rubik's Cube, both from Rubik himself and from other sources, including the Rubik's Revenge, a 4×4×4 version of the Rubik's Cube. There are also 2×2×2 and 5×5×5 Cubes (known as the Pocket Cube and the Professor's Cube, respectively) and puzzles in other shapes, such as the Pyraminx, a Tetrahedron.In May 2005, the Greek inventor Panagiotis Verdes constructed a 6×6×6 Rubik's Cube; on May 23, 2006, Frank Morris, a world champion Rubik's Cube solver, tested this version. He had previously solved the 3×3×3 in 15 seconds, the 4×4×4 in 1 minute and 10 seconds, and the 5×5×5 in 1 minute and 46.1 seconds. The 6×6×6 took him 5 minutes and 37 seconds to solve. Morris himself thanked the inventor for making it and purportedly stated that the bigger the Cube is, the greater the pleasure. In July 2006, Mr. Verdes successfully constructed the 7×7×7 cube; on October 27, 2006, a video of Morris testing the cube was released. He solved this cube in 6 minutes and 29.31 seconds.In 1994, Melinda Green, Don Hatch, and Jay Berkenilt created a model of a 3×3×3×3 Fourth dimension analogue of a Rubik's Cube called the MagicCube4D. Having more possible states than there are atoms in the known universe, only 55 people have solved it as of January 2007.The name "Rubik's Cube" is common in many languages except Hebrew language and in Hungarian language. In the former language, it is known as the "Hungarian Cube", whilst in the latter, its name is "Magic Cube".A standard Cube measures approximately 2¼ inches (5.7 cm) on each side. The puzzle consists of the twenty-six unique miniature cubes ("cubies") on the surface. However, the centre cube of each face is merely a single square façade; all are affixed to the core mechanisms. These provide structure for the other pieces to fit into and rotate around. So there are twenty-one pieces: a single core piece consisting of three intersecting axes holding the six centre squares in place but letting them rotate, and twenty smaller plastic pieces which fit into it to form the assembled puzzle. The Cube can be taken apart without much difficulty, typically by turning one side through a 45° angle and prying an "edge cubie" away from a "centre cubie" until it dislodges (however, prying loose a corner cubie is a good way to break off a centre cubie - thus ruining the cube). It is a simple process to solve a Cube by taking it apart and reassembling it in a solved state; however, this is not the challenge.There are twelve edge pieces which show two coloured sides each, and eight corner pieces which show three colours. Each piece shows a unique colour combination, but not all combinations are present (for example, there is no edge piece with both red and orange sides, if red and orange are on opposite sides of the solved Cube.). The location of these cubes relative to one another can be altered by twisting an outer third of the Cube 90°, 180° or 270°, but the location of the coloured sides relative to one another in the completed state of the puzzle cannot be altered: it is fixed by the relative positions of the centre squares and the distribution of colour combinations on edge and corner pieces.For most recent Cubes, the colours of the stickers are red opposite orange, yellow opposite white, and green opposite blue. However, cubes with alternative colour arrangements also exist, for example they might have yellow face opposite the green, and the blue face opposite the white (with red and orange opposite faces remaining unchanged......
