6x6 Supercube
Example Solve of Arc Centers
This sequence and its mirror-image are used in the example solve below.
The following example shows how to use the above sequence to eliminate
quarter-twisted Arc Centers on all faces.
In the table below the cube, "Make Setup" means to turn the cube so that there
are two quarter-twisted centers in the proper locations on the front face
(direction of arrows does not have to match setup).
"Apply Sequence" in the table refers to the above cube on the left
and "Apply Mirror Sequence" refers to the one on the right.
Given the large number of moves involved, this solving method would not
likely be done manually but with a cube simulator that uses macros (stored
sequences).
1 | Make Setup |
2-21 | Apply Sequence |
22 | Make Setup |
23-42 | Apply Mirror Sequence |
43 | Move Blue face to front |
44-63 | Apply Sequence |
64-83 | Apply Mirror Sequence |
84-85 | Move Black face to front and Make Setup |
86-105 | Apply Sequence |
106 | Make Setup |
107-126 | Apply Mirror Sequence |
127-128 | Move Orange face to front and Make Setup |
129-148 | Apply Mirror Sequence |
149 | Make Setup |
150-169 | Apply Sequence |
170-171 | Move Green face to front and Make Setup |
172-191 | Apply Sequence |
192 | Make Setup |
193-212 | Apply Mirror Sequence |
213-214 | Move Red face to front and Make Setup |
215-234 | Apply Mirror Sequence |
235 | Make Setup |
236-255 | Apply Mirror Sequence |
256-257 | Turn cube to Home position |
To complete the solve,
the following shows how to use slightly modified 5x5 sequences (both
center slices turn together on 6x6 cube) and the
sequences on the previous page to fix pairs of half-twisted Arc Centers.
The sequences (1-3) referenced in the table are shown at the bottom of the
page, press the Mirror button (center) as indicated to see the proper setup.
For the first step, the 5x5 sequence is used to fix four pairs on the front
face.
The same sequence is used on the red face but it only fixes two pairs because
only six of the eight centers match the setup, one pair remains twisted after
the sequence (the pair that was not twisted before the sequence).
1-22 | Fix four pairs on front face (5x5) |
23 | Move Red face to front |
24-45 | Fix two pairs on front face (5x5) |
46-47 | Move Red face to top, Blue to front |
48-69 | Apply Mirror Sequence 1 |
70-71 | Move Black to front, orange to top |
72-93 | Apply Mirror Sequence 2 |
94 | Move Green to front |
95-118 | Apply Mirror Sequence 3 |
119-120 | Turn cube to Home position |
