solving the cube part one

solving the cube part one
note: the following method DIFFERS in several ways from the guidance at the RUBIK website. mine has several advantages for memory and self-checking.
first do not buy a rubik s cube. if you already have one or have a companion with an old one then this guide is for you but do not buy because now that i understand the method it is TRULY empty and not skill. far from genius to know the method. the rumor of genius was just a  MARKETING scheme because the only genius would be to generate the method of EMPTY calculatins. even the generator is an expert at blank papers. anway most of the solvers were taught the empty calculations and only remember the steps. that is not genius nor skill.
as a child people boasted that solving it was a "genius" and for me the cube was a MYSTERY i was misled by pranksters to "try to solve one side" which of course took a very long time because the possibilities seem endless. one day after almost a full hour i "succeeded" meaning i had returned "one face" to the same color. after they had mixed the colors. i had no idea at the time that even that "success" of one side same color was not "returning the parts to their ONE and only position."
the key to solving the cube is ORIENTATION and relative position.
i recommend choosing reference points specific-ly green and blue as the oppposing "poles based on the familiar globe of our planet." the north pole should be consstently blue and then you know that the opposing side must be green like the south pole.
how? the preparation is in four steps. after identifying the center-squares of the blue and green sides which are opposing be careful to hold the cube such that ALWAYS blue-center is north as you look down... this is critical for not losing orientation, and not being trapped in "loops". tip imagine the blue center is the water of arctic for navigation. search among the scrambled colors for those green squares that are not corners with two edges. just one edge. first turn that face so the green edj moves adjacent meaning by the blue center. then ROTATE the blue-center-face over each green edj and slide the green edj north
one at a time such an edge moves beside the blue center and in four steps surround the center blue square with 4 edges colored green. this may seem difficult for a beginner yet trust me it truly is simple enough to learn by trial and error and a great way for the beginner to familiarize with the consequence of the faces slide. ignore the corner color because they are random at this point.
once the blue center has four green edges you have completed the four steps of preparation.
solve:
rotate the face with the blue center so one [i recommend the right side green for right-hand dominant people] whichever color it is will slide beside the matching color at the center of a face for example green could have one green face and one of yellow or orange. rotate the north face meaning as above blue center, so that this green-orange moves beside the orange center square... or for other colors except green... of its same color. that will indicate it is in its ONE and only position. then move the row south to the unseen green edge and check. repeat so the 4 greens surround the green center. the memory hint is like the land called antarctica if grass grew there.
the rest of solving is simply gathering the corners to the side in steps that repeat scrambling and returning the side to correct position. almost mindlessly repetitive only thinking to recall the steps. far from genius to solve and almost mindlessly repetitive. with over 60 percent repetition.
ultimately forced into a stupid goal. so suffice solving green to the only one correct solution based on the center square colors.
one side same color is not "truly solved" unless the adjacent edj matches the center squares.
now solve south green as follows, to be continued.... even at this point the green is 5/9 complete and 50% finished.
corners in part two.
