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^)/)
