MoYu Puppet Cube V1 Tutorial

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

Your algorithm list helped out a lot, and I am able to solve the V1 cube easily now by just looking at the U perms you listed, rarely looking at the algorithms. Also, I later realised that in Stage 3, "Orange Front Yellow Up" is just another way of saying "Right hand version", where the L blocks are right and up, and "Green Front Yellow Top" as "Left hand version" where the L blocks are left and up, which tremendously eased up my troubles, since I could change the way I was holding the cube, and solve any jumbled iteration simply by using only the U Perms 1, 2, 5, and 6, and rarely needed algorithms 7 and 4. This video was a lifesaver. You are amazing

[@cuberstu]

Great, glad it helped. The method works, follow it & you will solve it every time. just long algs and dont mess up 👍

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

for stage 3, i found a fast way: solve the two edges on the red-blue-white corner, then solve the orange-white and green-white edges with the u perms, then solve the last 5 edges using u perm 1,2,5,6 hope it helps 😄

Question on stage 3: How do you put all the edge pieces in the correct place without messing anything else up? For example, if you try to get one piece in the correct place, it will mess up other solved edges.

You move 3 pieces at a time, you will have to shuffle things around. Get the outer pieces sorted first.

Currently at stage 3, and I don't really understand the notation. lets's take alg1: FU-FR-FD-LB-FL I assume this meas FrontUp-FrontRight-FrontDown-LeftBack-FrontLeft, correct? But what exactly is a FrontUp, for example?

I have got it back into cube form and all the corners are in correct place, except for one corner. It's in the correct place but wrongly oriented. I think my cube broke once and I fixed it. Do you think this corner is because of a wrong fix that I made or is there really a possible situation?
