HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

After 2 1/2 days practicing, discovering n researching~~

FINALLY!!

I've "win over" Mr. Rubix cube!!

And tis is de way on how to "win over" our dearest Mr. Rubix Magic Puzzle Cube!

TIPS:
Make sure your cube can be solved! A Rubik's Cube that has been smashed apart and incorrectly re-assembled may not be solvable!!!

Ensure that your Rubik's Cube can be solved by smashing it apart and correctly reassembling it, then mixing it up for you to solve.

ALGORITHMS
To solve the Rubik's Cube we will use numerous algorithms, basically an algorithm is a sequence of moves that allow you to move any pieces without ruining the good work you have already done.

Rubik's Cube algorithm notation:

F = FACE

Fi = FACE INVERTED

L = LEFT

Li = LEFT INVERTED
U = UP

Ui = UP INVERTED

D = DOWN

Di = DOWN INVERTED

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

SOLVING THE TOP LAYER OF THE RUBIK'S CUBE

STEP 1. SOLVING THE TOP LAYER
Make an X on the top layer
*Your goal is to create an X on the top, with all the side colours correct on the correct face.

STEP 2. SOLVING THE TOP LAYER
Align the corner pieces directly below their correct positions.

-WHITE-

-RED-

-ORANGE-

-GREEN-

STEP 3. SOLVING THE TOP LAYER
With the finished X facing Up, shuffle the corner pieces into their correct positions using the following algorithm:
Ri - Di - R - D
Repeat this algorithm until the corner piece is in the corrent location on the top layer.

And there it goes~!

The middle layer requires moving only four pieces into their correct positions using one algorithm (in forward and reverse sequence). At this stage those four remaining pieces will be in one of 3 possible scenarios:

a. on the bottom layer
b. in the wrong position on the middle layer
c. in the correct position but facing the wrong way on the middle layer

When the middle piece is in either: b. or, c. - you will use the algorithm to replace your piece with another piece and get your piece on the bottom layer.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

STEP 1. SOLVING THE MIDDLE LAYER
With the finished top layer facing up, and the piece you want to move facing you on the bottom layer and the position youwant to move the piece on your LEFT - use the following algorithm:
D - L - Di - Li - Di - Fi - D - F

STEP 2. SOLVING THE MIDDLE LAYER
With the finished top layer facing up, and the piece you want to move facing you on the bottom layer and the position you want to move the piece on your RIGHT - use the following algorithm:
Di - Ri - D - R - D - F - Di - Fi

The middle layer of the rubik's cube is now complete.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The final layer is the most complicated layer and many things can go wrong if you don't pay attention! Solving the final layerof the Rubik's Cube consists of the following 4 steps and 4 corresponding algorithms:

Step 1. create an X on the final layer

Step 2. correctly align the X and the side colours of the middle pieces

Step 3. shuffle the corners to the correct position (but face colours not necessarily correctly orientated)

Step 4. shuffle the corners into correct position and face colours correctly orientated

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

STEP 1. SOLVING THE FINAL LAYER

Your goal is to create an X on the bottom layer of the rubik's cube. At this stage the bottom and final layer will look like one of the following:

a. only the middle piece in the correct position (it doesn't move)

b. a line of correctly aligned colours (possibly a 'T' shape)

c. a 'L' shape of correct colours

d. an X of correct colours (highly unlikely)

With the finished top layer facing up, and the side you want to move on your RIGHT, use the following algorithm to create an X on the final layer of the Rubik's Cube:

F-R-U-Ri-Ui-Fi

Repeat this algorithm many times until you have an X on the final layer of the rubik's cube.

Once you have the top X (no matter what kind of X you have), you should always be able to line up at least 2 of them. So, use this formula.

R-U-Ri-U-R-U-U-Ri

And one final up to line all this up.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Once you get the top blue cross off, the next job is to get all the 4 corner pieces in the right place. But not necessarily flip the correct way.

Using this formula,

U-R-Ui-Li-U-Ri-Ui-L

And....

Congratulations, you have now solved the Rubik's Cube! (^o^)/)

Mother : Well, wasn't that such a nice weeding ceremony?

Father : Madoka-sensei looked so pretty too.

Mother : That's right, she was so beautiful, wasn't she?

Father : Didn't i just say that?

Mother : Aya!

Father : Aya!

Mother :Excuse me! We need some help! Excuse me!

Father : Are you alright? Aya!

Doctor : Aya-chan, are you alright?

To, Asou-kun ...There are some things that i can't say to you face to face .. So i'm writing you a letter...

For always being by my side, thank you.

.. You've found what you've wanted to do. Seeing that, makes me happy.. Your future is constantly expanding..but in my case, it's not the same. In the future that i have left, how should i go about living it? That's it. That's all that there is. There's nothing we can do about this difference. Every day..I'm fighting against myself. I'm worried and it's painful ....I've used all my energy trying to suppress these feelings.....

......Here's the truth ....It's painful to be with you. Wanting to do this, wanting to do that. Thinking that if i didn't get these disease, then i would be able to do it all.

...When i'm with you, I will continue wanting a dream that never come true...

..... Of course it's not your fault. But i envy you. It doesn't matter what i do. But the me right now, is becoming more miserable.. If it stays like this, I won't have the courage to live on..

For all that you've done for me, Thank you.

For saying that you like me, even the way i am now, Thank you...

I'm sorry that i can't give you anything in return..

..I ... can't see you anymore ...

Asou : ....................

Doctor : Aya-chan?

Mother : Aya, how are you? Where does it hurt?

Aya : I ...wrote a...letter...to Asou-kun ...

Aya : Okaasan ......Otousan ..... Doctor ... Will i....be able..to get ..married ...?

Mother : ....................................

Father : ....................................

Doctor : ....................................

Aya : I knew it....

Mother : Aya...

Aya : But, even if....it's...like that....

...One day ..... One day..when..it comes....

I want...to sleep.... surrounded by...many...flowers....

.........................

Doctor : How's your studies?

Asou : It's all right.

Doctor : You haven't seen Aya-chan?

Asou : Yes. I wanted a job to be able to help others ... But, in the end, I don't understand a thing about her disease.

Doctor : ........................

.. the reason why i choose neurology, was because this branch has many areas. Even for the diseases that others can't cure, I don't know if i can cure them myself.

... At first, i was really eager. but, even i too, don't understand anything...

Asou : ......................

Doctor : To those patients who sit on this chair, these kind of disease doesn't pose risk on their lives right away. Yet, during this time, research is ongoing...

.."Don't give up".. "Let's try harder together" ... On one hand, this encourages others. I don't even have to think about giving up the search for a cure for this disease. In the end, it's a lie.

... but still, i don't want to give up. The patients haven't given up.How can a doctor give up?

... You too, will be a doctor in the future, right?

Asou : .....................

.

.

Aya : Doctor ? Is ....that.... you?

Asou : Long time no see. You've been publishing all of your diaries, on the exchange club publication, right? A junior high school girl read your entry.

....and sent you this postcard.

" I thought i wanted to die... I have the same disease as Aya-san.."

" When the doctor said i couldn't be cured, i cried non-stop.."

".... Slowly, i couldn't walk properly. At school i kept on being stared at. My boyfriend, whom i was dating, left me too... Why did i have to face this? Every single day, i asked my Okaasan.."

"..... But, when i read Aya-san's article, i realized i wasn't the only one in pain.. Ever since i got the disease, i have always been looking down at the ground. I want to become strong like Aya-san... From now, even if i'm in pain and cry, i want to use those kinds of feelings to be able to move on ... I feel like this because of Aya-san.."

Asou : You said you wanted to help others, right? When i first meet you, i thought, if human lives or die, it doesn't really matter. But... it different now. For you, it doesn't matter if it's by greed or force, I want you to live on...

...Therefore ... I....

Aya : Asou-kun, i..can't walk....anymore...

Asou : Mm.

Aya : But, i ......helped others....

Asou : That's right.

Aya : I... helped others...

.........................

Father : Even though it's a little early, today is our family's Christmas.

Mother : This is for you guys. Ako, Hiroki, Rika, here you are .

Ako : Cute!

Hiro : Wow, cool!

Rika : Wow! So many colours!

Mother : These presents, are actually from your Oneechan.

Ako : Eh? From Aya-nee?

Father : Aya picked them allf or you guys.

Mother : Now, i'm going to read Onechaan's letter for all of you.

" I'm sorry, Ako.. Lately, you're always wearing old clothes from before. Because i've only been wearing pajamas... You can't really say that you want new clothes, right? Ako actually likes to wear pretty clothing. I'm sorry..."

" I'm sorry, Hiroki.. Since elementary school, you've always been using the same sports bag, right? After becoming a junior high student, you actually wanted to have a cooler one, right? For making you keep that to yourself, I'm sorry.."

" Rika too, I'm sorry.. When you draw for me, you squeeze so hard on the marker until no more colour can come out."

" Ako, Hiroki, Rika.. Thank you, as always. I'm sorry for always hogging Okaasan."

Mother : Oneechan compared to Okaasan, really notices things about you guys more.

Ako : Aya-nee, you really being too formal.

Hiro : I'll always use this carefully.

Rika : Rika won't use this. They will be put away.

Father : Now! Let's start the party! Come! Come!

Everyone : Ready, and....Merry Christmas!

Father : Hey! Cheers! Cheers! Hey!

.........................

Rika : Rika's going to stand here.

Hiro : I'm going to stand next to Aya-nee.

Rika : No, Rika!

Father : Hey! Hey! Stop fighting, line up properly. Ready?

Ako : You'll always be here, Aya-nee.. The place where Aya-nee will come back to. From now on, it won't change. Because you'll always be here.

Aya : Thank..you everyone ....

Everyone : ...................

.........................

Asou : Hey.

Aya : *It felt cold before....*

Asou : It's snowing outside.

Aya : *Liar..*

Aya : *Please read the diary*

Asou : This?

...is it okay?

Aya : *nodded*

" I won't be impatient. I won't be greedy.I won't give up. Because everyone takes things step by step."

..You said this?

" I'm not the only one in pain. Not having other people understand. Not understanding others. Both of those are awful. My life is like a blossoming flower. From the start of my youth, I want to have no regrets and treasure it."

" Okaasan.... In my heart, there always exists the Okaasan that believes in me. From this point forward, i leave it to you. I'm sorry for always making you worry.."
