While not having as many different combinations as its big brother, the Mini-Cube can prove just as perplexing! RUBIK’S Mini-Cube has 6 faces. Each one is a different solid color when the Mini-Cube is solved. The Mini-Cube is made of 8 smaller cube pieces. All of these have 3 colors and are corner cubes. Find out how fascinating this not-so-little challenge can be. Mix up its colors with a few twists. Now match up the cubes until each side is a solid color again. Try to solve the puzzle logically, but think ahead. Your success will depend on how well you can visualize future sequences. Each face can be turned independently. Try it. (Doing this mixes up the cube pieces.) It’s not as simple as you may think. With hundreds of combinations, RUBIK’S Mini-Cube is truly a portable puzzle challenge! 2 The 6 colors of the Mini-Cube are paired so that the same colors are always opposite each other when the Mini-Cube is solved. For example, BLUE is always opposite WHITE, RED is always opposite ORANGE, and GREEN is always opposite YELLOW. 3 There are two kinds of turns: quarter twists and half twists. A quarter twist turns a face 90°. A half twist reverses a face 180°. Opposite colors never appear on the same cube piece. For example, no cube piece will have both BLUE and WHITE in its color scheme. It helps to remember which colors are opposites when solving the Mini-Cube. Complete the top face first. This is the easiest way to solve the Mini-Cube. With the right twists, you can then complete the bottom face without disturbing the top face. You can now use different sequences of turns to solve the Mini-Cube. Take the challenge and try it on your own. If you’re stumped, read the rest of this booklet for helpful hints. Quarter Twist Top Face Half Twist Whenever you twist a cube piece out of position, perform the opposite move if you want to twist it back into position. Bottom Face 4 5 The next page offers specific sequences of moves to reposition cube locations or color orientations. For each sequence, the Mini-Cube’s sides are labeled as shown. Think in mirror images. For example, two quartertwists of two touching faces turn an upside-down cube piece right side up. Top Face Left Face Back Face Front Face Bottom Face First Quarter Twist Second Quarter Twist Right Face Hold RUBIK’S Mini-Cube so the side you want to affect is the Bottom Face. (The cube pieces in the Top Face will return to their original positions at the end of the sequence.) Select a sequence and do the moves in order. The arrow symbols used to guide these moves indicate the turning directions. For each indicated face (Front, Right, Back, etc.) move one fourth turn in the direction of the arrow. Cube Piece in Place Try to solve the puzzle logically. Play with the Mini-Cube and experiment with different sequences of twists. Find out what they do! " 6 # $ % Hint: When working the Front or Back panels, it may help to think of a right arrow as clockwise; a left arrow as counter-clockwise. 7 The diagrams below show the bottom face. (That is, the view you would have if you tilt the whole mini-cube away from you.) Diagonal Swapper* Swap two diagonally opposite cube pieces. The other two cube pieces remain in their original places. Once you start twisting, it’s easy to mix up the Mini-Cube’s colors. Not to worry–the Mini-Cube can be set right from any disarranged combination. The following steps will help you solve the puzzle. Front #; Left %; Bottom #; Left $; Bottom "; Front "; Bottom " Shunter* 1. Select any cube piece as your starting corner. This cube piece is automatically in the correct position.

Finish the top face by twisting the third and fourth cubes, in turn, into place. To do that, move the completed pieces out of the way, twist the target piece into position, and then restore the other pieces to their places.
