Cube takes you from your first solve to your fastest. Learn the beginner's method on a 3D cube that turns in front of you, master the algorithms speedcubers use, and time every solve with WCA scrambles. It fits your level: tell it whether you can solve the cube yet and what you're aiming for, and it shows you the way there. LEARN TO SOLVE A step-by-step beginner's course: meet the pieces and the notation, then solve layer by layer. Every step plays on the 3D cube, slowed down, with the moves lighting up as they turn. EVERY ALGORITHM, ON THE CUBE 2-look OLL and PLL, all 41 F2L cases, all 57 OLL and all 21 PLL. Each case has a clear diagram and plays move by move on the cube. Mark what you're learning and what you know. PRACTICE THAT STICKS Drill cases from every side of the cube. Say how each one went and spaced repetition brings it back just before you'd forget it.
