Speedcubing Solutions

The Rubik’s Clock is one of the easier puzzles to solve—there’s no need to memorise algorithms. In fact, it can be solved quite intuitively. The puzzle has four pins, which control which clocks are connected. When a pin is up, the clocks around it move together as you turn the corresponding dial.

The Square-1 has 3 layers that are all split on the diagonal to enable a "slice" move. The middle layer has two sides.  This means you really only need to solve the Top and Bottom layers.

At a beginner level the Suare-1 is solves in the following 6 Steps:

1. Get the puzzle into a Cube Shape
2. Orient Corners (CO)
3. Orient Edges (EO)
4. Permute Corners (CP)
5. Permute Edges (EP)
6. Fix Parity

A Megaminx is a 3D puzzle with 12 sides or faces. Each side is in the shape of a Pentagon (5 sides and corners). In geometry this shape is called a Dodecahedron, but in the magic puzzle industry this is called a Megaminx.

If you already know how to solve a 3x3 then you certainly can make a start on a Megaminx, it just takes longer as there are more pieces to put in place. 

At a beginner level the puzzle is solved layer-by-layer in the following steps:

• STEP 1 - SOLVE THE FIRST LAYER STAR
• STEP 2 - SOLVE THE FIRST LAYER CORNERS
• STEP 3 - SOLVE THE SECOND LAYER EDGES
• STEP 4 - SOLVE THE THIRD LAYER CORNERS AND EDGES
• STEP 5 - SOLVE THE FORTH LAYER CORNERS AND EDGES
• STEP 6 - SOLVE THE LAST LAYER EDGES
• STEP 7 - SOLVE THE LAST LAYER CORNERS
