Hey guys,
got an odd question/request. I’m a magician, and I have an idea for a really cool trick using a Rubik’s cube.... but I’ve hit a road block. After countless hours working on this, I thought it would be wise to ask the speedcubing community for a solution.
rather than attach photos, I’ll describe where I am at in notation, so you can follow along:
Start with a solved cube, with the white face facing you, and the blue face on top, then do the following: R, U’, D’, R, R(wide)
ok, so my goal from this position is to solve the white face ONLY, as efficiently as possible while keeping the rest of the cube in a scrambled state. Obviously the most efficient way to solve the white face is to solve the cube, but I don’t want to do this. I also want to avoid solving the layer connected to the white face.
I do have a solution already, but I’m certain I’m using way too many moves... and I’ve been racking my brain to reduce the amount but I can’t.
Any suggestions or solutions are more than welcome... and I’ll keep working on it in the meantime, thanks!
