Solving a Rubik's Cube

Steps taken from How to Solve a Rubik's Cube | WIRED.

1. Make the daisy
2. Create the white cross
3. Solve the first layer
4. Solve the second layer
5. Create the yellow cross:
   • F U R U' R' F'
6. Solve the yellow face:
   • R U R' U R U2 R'
   • Move yellow stickers upper right-hand corner of left-face
   • Orient "fish" down and to the left relative to your perspective
7. Position the corners:
   • L' U R U' L U2 R' U R U2 R'
   • If one your faces has matching corner pieces, hold that face in the left-hand
   • All corner pieces should match to end this step
8. Position the edges:
   • If one of the faces is completely solved, position that face away from you
   • If no sides are solved, do counter-clockwise algorithim twice
   • Clockwise:
     • F2 U R' L F2 L' R U F2
   • Counter-clockwise:
     • F2 U' R' L F2 L' R U' F2
