Rubik's T030-30000-02 manual Diagonal Swapper, Turn the Mini-Cube so That the selected cube

Think in mirror images. For example, two quarter- twists of two touching faces turn an upside-down cube piece right side up.

First	Second	Cube Piece
Quarter Twist	Quarter Twist	in Place

Try to solve the puzzle logically. Play with the Mini-Cube and experiment with different sequences of twists. Find out what they do!

The diagrams below show the bottom face. (That is, the view you would have if you tilt the whole mini-cube away from you.)

Diagonal Swapper*

Swap two diagonally opposite cube pieces. The other two cube pieces remain in their original places.

Front #; Left %; Bottom #;

Left ∃; Bottom ∀; Front ∀; Bottom ∀

Shunter* Move a triangle of three cube pieces count- er-clockwise. The fourth cube remains in its original place.

Back ∀; Left %; Bottom #; Left ∃; Back #; Left %; Bottom ∀; Left ∃

Shifter Flip three cube pieces to align their colors

correctly, while keeping them in their same location.

Back ∀; Bottom #; Back #; Bottom #; Back ∀; Bottom #; Bottom #; Back #; Bottom #; Bottom #;

*Note that you are attempting to reposition cube piece locations, not colors. The orientation of color faces may change as you complete the sequence.

The next page offers specific sequences of moves to reposition cube locations or color orientations. For each sequence, the Mini-Cube’s sides are labeled as shown.

Left Face	Top Face
	Back Face
Front Face
Bottom Face	Right Face

Hold RUBIK’S Mini-Cubeso the side you want to affect is
the Bottom Face. (The cube pieces in the Top Face will
return to their original positions at the end of the sequence.)
Select a sequence and do the moves in order. The arrow
symbols used to guide these moves indicate the turning
directions. For each indicated face (Front, Right, Back, etc.)
move one fourth turn in the direction of the arrow.
∀	#	∃	%
Hint: When working the Front or Back panels, it may help
to think of a right arrow as clockwise; a left arrow as count-
er-clockwise.				7

Once you start twisting, it’s easy to mix up the Mini-Cube’s colors. Not to worry–the Mini-Cube can be set right from any disarranged combination. The following steps will help you solve the puzzle.

2.	Turn the Mini-Cube so
	that the selected cube	Starting
	piece is in the top face.
