Recently I learnt to solve Rubic Cube. Was good time pass all these days. My colleague Matthijs helped me a lot. Sharing my notes below.
I hope to put various pictures related to this on this page later on.
Algorithms
1) First layer.
Then arrange corner pieces. Must match adjasent corner and centre pieces.
2) Second layer.
Swapping 2 edge pieces
Perform Left or Right swap for the pieces to bring them to bottom layer. Then perfrom above algorithms.
3) Third layer
Make a cross of edge pieces
FRU’R’UF
Orienting edge pieces correctly
RUR’URU2R’
Orient the cube such that GHI are top, front edge.
Algorithm FDF’D’FDF’D’, U (till another wrong corner pience is right-tip corner), and then DFD’F’DFD’F’
Twisting three corners anti-clockwise R' U' R U' R' U2 R U2
Twisting three corners clockwise R U R' U R U2 R' U2
Other combinations Do above twice or combine

Solving Rubic’s Cube
Legend- Corner piece that has 3 faces
Centre piece that has 1 face
Edge piece that has 2 faces
R right
L left
U Facing Up
B Back
F Facing you
D Downfacing
D would mean turn D clock-wise. D’ would mean turn D anti-clock-wise.
Algorithms
1) First layer.
Arrange yourself. No algorithm needed.
First make a cross. Edge pieces must match the adjasent centre pieces.Then arrange corner pieces. Must match adjasent corner and centre pieces.
2) Second layer.
Only edges will need to be arranged, as centre is already supposed to be matched. So max 4 adjustments.
Bringing a bottom edge piece to left or right edge
To left edge DR’D’RFRD
To right edge D’RDR’...Swapping 2 edge pieces
Perform Left or Right swap for the pieces to bring them to bottom layer. Then perfrom above algorithms.
3) Third layer
Make a cross of edge pieces
FRU’R’UF
Orienting edge pieces correctly
RUR’URU2R’
Permuting corner pieces
1) Swap 2 pairs of corner pieces
Top view
ABC
DEF
GHI
A--> C; G--> I. Also They are flipped. Algorithm F [URU’R’]*3 F’
2) Rotating 3 corner prieces
Top view
ABC
DEF
GHI
A--> G, G--> C, C--> A, I remains same. Algorithm URU’L’UR’U’L
2) The two corners to be swapped are in the front right top and the back right top positions
Swapping adjacent corners L U' R' U L' U' R U2
Swapping diagonal corners execute the adjacent corner swap algorithm twice
Orienting corner pieces
Top view
ABC
DEF
GHI
Orient I and then one other corner. It must be done with at least 2 corners.Orient the cube such that GHI are top, front edge.
Algorithm FDF’D’FDF’D’, U (till another wrong corner pience is right-tip corner), and then DFD’F’DFD’F’
Twisting three corners anti-clockwise R' U' R U' R' U2 R U2
