Solving the Rubiks Cube

GLOSSARY
    T=Top            B=Back           D=Bottom            L=Left            R=Right            F=Front   
    o=90 Degree Turn Clockwise          a=90 Degree Turn Counter-Clockwise        e=180 Degree Turn

  1. Make a Plus on Top with the color Opposite of White.
  2. Complete Top
    1. Figure out which cube goes in Top Front Right
    2. Move that cube to Bottom Front Right
      1. If Top Center matches Front of Bottom Right Corner Cube
        1. FoDoFa
      2. If Top Center matches Right of Bottom Right Corner Cube
        1. RaDaRo
      3. If Top Center matches Bottom of Bottom Right Corner Cube
        1. RaDoRoDe RaDaRo
      4. If no bottom face cube belongs on top
        1. RaDoRo
        2. Start at 2. 2. 1.
        3. Repeat until top is complete
    3. Repeat until Top is complete
  3. Turn the cube upside down
  4. Solve the Side Edges
    1. If the Block that needs to go in the Front Left Edge is found on the top
      1. Rotate the Top Side so that the desired Edge is in Front
      2. If the Top Side of the Top Front Edge matches the color of the Front Center Block
        1. FoTeRo Ta RaTeFa
      3. If the Top Side of the Top Front Edge matches the color of the Left Center Block
        1. Ta FoTeRo To RaTeFa
    2. If the Block that needs to go in the Front Left Edge is found on a side, move it to Front Left
      1. FoTeRoTo RaTeFa
      2. Return to Step 4. 1.
    3. Turn the cube to that the Block needed to be placed is in the Front Left Edge and repeat for all 4 sides
  5. Put the top corners in their correct position, ignoring if they are in the correct orientation
    1. If possible, rotate Top Side until correct
    2. If not possible but on the Top Side 2 opposing corners are correct
      1. Turn the Top Side so that the Top Back Left and the Top Front Right Corners are in their correct positions (this swaps the Top Back Right Corner and the Top Front Left Corner)
      2. ToFoToRoTaRaFa
    3. If not possible but on the Top Side 2 adjacent corners are correct (this swaps the Top Back 2 Corners)
      1. Turn the 2 correct adjacent corners on the Top Side to the Front in their correct position
      2. FoTaBaToFaTaBoTe
  6. Correct the Position of the Top Edges
    1. If all Top Edges are correct, move on to 7.
    2. If Opposing Top Edges need to be switched
      1. ReLeDoReLeTeReLeDoReLe
    3. If the Top Back Edge needs to be switched with the Top Right Edge AND the Top Front Edge needs to be switched with the Top left Edge
      1. RoBoToBaTaReFaTaFoToRo
    4. If the Top Back, Top Front, and Top Left need to be cycled Clockwise
      1. Orient the cube so that the Top Right Edge is in the correct Position
      2. LeTo FaBoLeFoBa ToLe
    5. If the Top Back, Top Front, and Top Left need to be cycled Counter-Clockwise
      1. Orient the cube so that the Top Right Edge is in the correct Position
      2. LeTa FaBoLeFoBa TaLe
  7. Orient the Top 4 Corners
    1. If they're oriented already, move on.
    2. If not, make the Front edge of the Front Top Right block White
      1. RaDoRoFoDoFa
      2. Turn Top Side so another Top Corner that is out of place in the Top Front Right
      3. FoDaFaRaDaRo
      4. For any other top corners out of place, repeat 7. 2.
  8. Correct Top Edge Orientation
    1. Either 2 or 4 Top Edge Blocks will need correction
    2. Start with an Edge needing correction in the Top Front position
      1. FoToDaLeTeDeRo
      2. Turn the Top Side so that any Top Edge needing correction is in the Top Right position
      3. RaDeTeLeDoTaFa
      4. If 2 Top Edge Blocks remain to be corrected, repeat 8. 2.
  9. Turn Top Edge to complete Cube
