If you have spent any time looking up Rubik’s cube algorithms then you will no doubt have discovered that they are commonly expressed in standard notation. At first glance they seem to be written in a strange looking code, which can be off putting. However, standard notation isn’t too hard to follow once you know what the letters and apostrophes mean.

How To Solve a Rubik’s Picture Cube
Once you have mastered solving a standard Rubik’s cube, you may progress to one with pictures on each face. At first glance you may think that it can be solved in exactly the same way as a standard Rubik’s cube.
For the most part this is true, but there are some additional steps to follow if you want to solve it. With a standard cube it doesn’t matter how the centres are orientated as they look the same however they are rotated. However, with a picture cube you will have to rotate the centres once the rest of the Rubik’s cube has been solved. Click on this link to find out more

TikTok - Shadow Banned!
Having created a TikTok account with a view to posting a collection of cubing videos, I found myself shadow banned! All I did was post a handful of shorts and now anything I post gets no views and I can't even follow any of the few creators that I would like to. Oh well, not to worry. Here are the videos:

Translate Rubik’s Cube Algorithms
Every Rubik’s cube algorithm affects a particular set of pieces, but have you ever wondered how to transpose them? For example, you could translate an algorithm that affects pieces on the left side of the cube so that it is transposed to the right-hand side.
