Editing Rubik's Cube (section)

===Beginners' methods===
Most beginner solution methods involve solving the cube [[Layer by Layer|one layer at a time]] ("layer-by-layer" method or "beginner's method"), using algorithms that preserve what has already been solved. The easiest layer by layer methods require only 3–8 algorithms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How to solve a Rubik's Cube |url=https://how-to-solve-a-rubix-cube.com/ |access-date=28 June 2016 |publisher=how-to-solve-a-rubix-cube.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Beginner Solution to the Rubik's Cube (available in multiple languages) |url=http://ozcubegirl.com/rubikscubesolution.html |access-date=17 July 2017 |publisher=Jasmine Lee}}</ref>

{{anchor|patrick_bossert}}In 1981, thirteen-year-old Patrick Bossert developed a solution for solving the cube, along with a graphical notation, designed to be easily understood by novices.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Evans |first=Rob |date=24 September 1981 |title=Restore your cube |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_0beD5LVNugC&pg=PA802 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200818162232/https://books.google.com/books?id=_0beD5LVNugC&pg=PA802 |url-status=dead |archive-date=18 August 2020 |journal=New Scientist |page=802 }}</ref> It was subsequently published as ''You Can Do The Cube'' and became a best-seller.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1982 |title=Rubik's Cube |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yvomAQAAIAAJ&q=%22you+can+do+the+cube%22 |journal=Newsweek |volume=99 |page=16}}</ref>

In 1997, Denny Dedmore published a solution described using diagrammatic icons representing the moves to be made, instead of the usual notation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Website with solutions created by Denny Dedmore |url=http://www.helm.lu/cube/solutions/rubikscube/ |access-date=20 June 2012 |publisher=Helm.lu}}</ref>

Philip Marshall's ''The Ultimate Solution to Rubik's Cube'' takes a different approach, averaging only 65 twists yet requiring the memorisation of only two algorithms. The cross is solved first, followed by the remaining edges (using the Edge Piece Series FR'F'R), then five corners (using the Corner Piece Series URU'L'UR'U'L, which is the same as the typical last layer corner permutation algorithm), and finally the last three corners.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Marshall |first=Philip |date=2005 |title=The Ultimate Solution to Rubik's Cube |url=http://helm.lu/cube/MarshallPhilipp/ |access-date=30 December 2022 |website=helm.lu}}</ref>
