Rubix Cube Solution

There are many of books, guides, manuals and websites that have large listings of move combinations arranged into five overall phases of how to obtain a rubix cube solution: moving an edge piece to the top face, what do I do if it's here, or maybe if it’s here, how to orient the bottom face corners if they're in a certain arrangement and a never-ending flow of incredibly long transformations for permuting three edges in slightly different relative arrangements.

If you follow the preceeding rubix cube instructions, you will achieve a rubix cube solution- you can complete your rubix cube by reading a book or guide and following the instructions through the five phases of solving the cube. So it may be useful if you don't have an interest of achieving the impressive status of a rubix cube solver (maybe if you had gotten one for your kid) but wanted to get it back into its solved state so you can show off.

Alternatively you may take one glance at the enormous lists of rubix cube algorithms with no rhyme or reason and think: “if I have to memorize such a large amount of data in order to solve a rubix cube in my head, I’ll never get it done so I'm not even going to try”. I may be unreasonably impressed with people who could solve a rubix cube without using instructions, its quite impressive seeing someone work it without any prior knowledge or aid in any way. At some point you might figure it out, by reading the rubix cube solutions that you actually don't need that many basic move sequences memorized at all, that even those four sequences can be arranged to have internal structure in such a way as to make them easier to remember, and that anything else can be done by trivial modifications while solving it.

It would be nice to believe that somewhere out there is a book that explains the basic mechanics of how to construct a rubix cube solution, and then exhibit one broken down into “here is what you need to memorize” (short), and “here is it all worked out longhand for parents who don't have the time (enormous lists of move sequences)”. The end section, included with the list of moves, would have the structure of every move sequence shown in a clear manner, so you can see the conjugates and commentators and understand why it works.
