To be able to solve the cube we need to know it a little and to start we will know the parts of the cube. The 2x2x2 cube has 8 pieces and they are all of the same type:
These 8 pieces that make up the cube are corners, this means that each piece has 3 different colors. All the pieces have the same shape and all have 3 colors.
In order to be able to read and write series of movements, the notation that I will explain below is used.
The cube has 6 faces, each face is assigned a different letter, this letter would mean 1/4 turn of the face clockwise. The counterclockwise rotation is determined by putting an 'after the letter. If we have to move a 1/2 turn face put a 2 after the letter.
Clockwise rotation
Rotation counterclockwise
Possible moves are as follows.
Clockwise:
L
F
R
B
U
D
Counterclockwise:
L'
F'
R'
B'
U'
D'
Double movements of a layer can be indicated using the number 2 after the letter. The direction of rotation is not relevant, because whether it is done clockwise or counterclockwise the result will be the same. Here are some examples:
D2
U2
L2
