Level 15: Top corners: find the headlights

Goal: Move the top corners to their places, starting from a pair of “headlights”. 3 tasks · ★★★ = fewest moves.

Task 1 of 3

The headlights are at the back. Do the algorithm.

Your cube, unfolded

Goal

Your moves

Algorithm

    Keyboard: U D L R F B turn a face, with Shift for the prime (U'). Y turns the whole cube. Backspace undoes.

    💡 Need a hint?

    Headlights = two corners on one side with the same colour on that side. Hold them at the BACK, do R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2, then turn U to line the corners up with the centres.

    What you learn here

    The top is yellow, but the corners may sit in the wrong places. Look at the sides of the top layer: two corners showing the same colour on one side are “headlights”. Put them at the back and do R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2. Then a U turn puts every corner in place.

    Algorithm: R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2

    Chapter 6 — Finish the cube: Move the top corners, then the top edges, to their places — and the cube is solved.
