completed the bottom row THANKS TO YOU. I have spent days (hahahaha)
trying to work out how to move the final pieces into position and
became very confused as everybody has a different way of solving
the cube. You have made it "easy" and now I can "finally"
impress all my family (who CANNOT solve a "simple"
rubik's cube). Oh, if only they knew how I had done it!!! Once
again, T-H-A-N-K-S Annie

-- Amit Shah wrote: Hello, Just wanted
to thank you for your article on Rubik’s cube. I printed
your two page format sheet as I have never before dealt with
Rubik’s cubes before. After going through the article I
attempted and solved it for the first time in around 2 hours. Of
course after that I did it several times and am now able to do it
in about 15 minutes though still use your article. As I said I
have not had much practice it has been only 12 hours since I got
a Rubik’s cube :) Anyway once again thank you very much and
the article is really excellent and easy to follow. Amit Shah

ago I picked up your solution on the net and thought it was the
best I had seen. I used it to solve the cube and because of the
method I had no trouble remembering the sequence. However, I have
not played with the cube for more than a year and when asked by
my granddaughter to show her I found that I could not put the
cross on the bottom face having completed top and middle. Worst
of all I cannot find the notes I copied from your site, and
although I have your site in my favourites on the comp., when I
try to access it I cannot get the page. My memory is obviously
going as I get older (79) . Please can you help. Best regards,
Harry
