Step3

Solve - Complete Middle layer

Prerequisite: 

• The bottom white face completed (i.e bottom layer completed).
• A "T" shape on all the side faces.

Outcome:

• A Rubik's cube with bottom and middle layer completed.

We need to bring the middle layer edge pieces into their respective positions.

Steps to be followed to solve "Middle layer"

• Hold the cube such that the white face is the bottom face.
• Now look for any of the middle layer edge pieces available on the top yellow layer.
• Select the edge piece that satisfy the above step.
• Rotate the top layer such that the side colour of the selected edge piece matches with center colour of any of the side faces.
• Rotate the Top layer 90 degrees away from the face that has the colour we have it on the selected edge piece top.
• Rotate 90 degrees upwards, the face that has the colour we have it on the selected edge piece top.
• Rotate the top layer 90 degrees towards you.
• Rotate 90 degrees downwards, the face that we rotated 90 degrees upwards in the previous step above..
• Now one of the bottom white corner piece is disturbed and available on the top layer with white colour on side one of the side faces.
• Now fix the disturbed white corner piece with the steps we have discussed in Step2 (Solve Complete White face).
• Once the white corner piece is fixed, we can observe that the selected edge piece is automatically fixed in the correct position in the middle layer.
