Learn Secrets of Solving Super Square-1
You can solve Super Square-1 using a few simple Tricks. Guaranteed.
First, install the software in your computer as you'd need to slow the animation speed
to observe the moves.
Solving Super Square-1 is difficult, very. The reward is a life-time of immense pride and joy that you can share with
people around you. So slow down and learn, it is that worth it.
Take your time to follow through this learning path:
Step1: Solve middle 2 slices.
Step2: Solve top and bottom slices.
Step3: Make all 4 slices have the same side-colors.
Step4: Fix up 2 halfmoon discs in TOPslice to have same color.
After you have learned the basic tricks above, try to Learn from step by step animation.
Step1: Solve MIDDLE2slices (← back)
● To solve the 2 middle slices follow the sub-steps below:
Sub-step1: Make both slices into square-shape.
Sub-step2: Fix up 4 UPPERcorners so that adjacent corners have same side-color.
Sub-step3: Ensure the 4 UPPERedges have all 4 side-colors.
Sub-step4: Fix up 4 UPPERedges
so that each edge's side-color matches the side-color of neigbouring UPPERcorners.
Step2: Solve TOPBOTTOMslices (← back)
To solve the TOP and BOTTOM slices follow the sub-steps below:
Sub-step1: Make both slices into square-shape.
Sub-step2: Fix up 4 TOPcorners so that adjacent corners have same side-color.
Sub-step3: Ensure the 4 TOPedges have all 4 side-colors.
Sub-step4: Fix up 4 TOPedges
so that each edge's side-color matches the side-color of neigbouring TOPcorners.
Note that these sub-steps are similar to those used in "Step1: Solve MIDDLE2slices" except that the 2 slices
involved are the TOP and BOTTOM slices instead of MIDDLE2slices. The same similar tricks used in Step1 are used in Step2.
The tricks used in Step2 are Trick1 , Trick2 , Trick3 , Trick3a.
The tricks used in Step1 are Trick1_m, Trick2_m, Trick3_m, Trick3a_m. The '_m' suffix implies it is for
MIDDLE2slices.
Step1.1: Make MIDDLE2slices into square-shape (← back)
● First we make UPPERslice into tulip-shape that has all 8
w30°edges clustered together.
We do so by joining LOWERslice w30°edges to UPPERslice w30°edges.
● Click
.
In Example1, we can join up 2 bottom wedges
at a FaultLine to 2
top wedges resulting in a cluster of 4 wedges.

It cycles through 5 quardrants:
BQ1_m,
BQ2_m,
BQ3_m,
TQ1_m,
TQ2_m.
● Learn .
It consists of 2 Cycle5s and a rightTurn (9-turn).
It swaps 2 UPPER quadrants: TQ1_m,TQ2_m, but it
has the side-effect of also swapping 2 LOWER quadrants: BQ1_m,BQ3_m.
● In Example1 we pair up
UPPERCorner
and
LOWERCorner
to form an UPPER half of 2 corners with same side-color.
:
● In Example2, 2 UPPER back corners
are good since they have same side-color. But we need to swap 2 UPPER front corners:
UPPER front corners.

which will become the UPPERcorners.

Current State is 1407. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPBOTTOMslices are square-shaped
and both TOPslice and BOTTOMslice have good corners.
Two of the 4 TOPedges' top-colors do not match TOPcorners' top-color but luckily
they are diagonally opposite.
Current State is 1408. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPBOTTOMslices are square-shaped
and both TOPslice and BOTTOMslice have good corners.
One of the TOPedges' top-color does not match TOPcorners' top-color.
Current State is 0500. The MIDDLE2slices are square-shaped and both UPPERslice and LOWERslice have good corners
and each slice's 4 edges have the 4 distinct side-colors.
But the slices are not aligned because the side-colors of the 2 slices are not matching.
Current State is 1500. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPBOTTOMslices are square-shaped
and both TOPslice and BOTTOMslice have good corners and each slice's 4 edges have same top-color.
But the slices are not aligned because the side-colors of the 2 slices are not matching.
Current State is 0501. The MIDDLE2slices are square-shaped and both UPPERslice and LOWERslice have good corners
and each slice's 4 edges have the 4 distinct side-colors.
But UPPERslice has a good edge on the RIGHT.
Current State is 1501. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPBOTTOMslices are square-shaped
and both TOPslice and BOTTOMslice have good corners and each slice's 4 edges have same top-color.
But TOPslice has a good edge on the RIGHT.
Current State is 0502. The MIDDLE2slices are square-shaped and both UPPERslice and LOWERslice have good corners
and each slice's 4 edges have the 4 distinct side-colors.
But LOWERslice has more good edge than the UPPERslice (or UPPERslice already has 4 good edges).
Current State is 1502. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPBOTTOMslices are square-shaped
and both TOPslice and BOTTOMslice have good corners and each slice's 4 edges have same top-color.
But BOTTOMslice has more good edge than the TOPslice (or TOPslice already has 4 good edges).
Current State is 0509. The MIDDLE2slices are square-shaped and both UPPERslice and LOWERslice have good corners
and each slice's 4 edges have the 4 distinct side-colors.
In these 2 slices, there are 6 good edges (in their correct locations) and 2 bad edges (an ODD configuration).
Current State is 1503. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPBOTTOMslices are square-shaped
and both TOPslice and BOTTOMslice have good corners and each slice's 4 edges have same top-color.
In these 2 slices, there are 6 good edges (in their correct locations) and 2 bad edges (an ODD configuration).
Current State is 1504. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPslice is now tulip-shape
and BOTTOMslice star-shape.
This state comes about as a result of trying to
resolve an ODD configuration (in which the cube has 2 bad edges and 10 edges good edges).
Current State is 0505. The MIDDLE2slices are square-shaped and both UPPERslice and LOWERslice have good corners
and each slice's 4 edges have the 4 distinct side-colors.
But UPPERslice has some bad edges (not in their correct locations) that need to be fixed.
Current State is 1505. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPBOTTOMslices are square-shaped
and both TOPslice and BOTTOMslice have good corners and each slice's 4 edges have same top-color.
But TOPslice has some bad edges (not in their correct locations) that need to be fixed.
Current State is 0506. The MIDDLE2slices are square-shaped and both UPPERslice and LOWERslice have good corners
and each slice's 4 edges have the 4 distinct side-colors.
But UPPERslice has 2 bad edges (not in their correct locations) that need to be fixed.
Current State is 1506. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPBOTTOMslices are square-shaped
and both TOPslice and BOTTOMslice have good corners and each slice's 4 edges have same top-color.
But TOPslice has 2 bad edges (not in their correct locations) that need to be fixed.
Current State is 0507. The MIDDLE2slices are square-shaped and both UPPERslice and LOWERslice have good corners
and each slice's 4 edges have the 4 distinct side-colors.
The UPPERslice has 2 bad edges in swapped locations (i.e. each should be in the other's location).
Current State is 1507. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPBOTTOMslices are square-shaped
and both TOPslice and BOTTOMslice have good corners and each slice's 4 edges have same top-color.
The TOPslice has 2 bad edges in swapped locations (i.e. each should be in the other's location).
Current State is 0508. The MIDDLE2slices are square-shaped and both UPPERslice and LOWERslice have good corners
and each slice's 4 edges have the 4 distinct side-colors.
But UPPERslice has some bad edges (not in their correct locations) that need to be fixed.
Current State is 1508. The MIDDLE2slices are solved and TOPBOTTOMslices are square-shaped
and both TOPslice and BOTTOMslice have good corners and each slice's 4 edges have same top-color.
But TOPslice has some bad edges (not in their correct locations) that need to be fixed.
Current State is 1601. The MIDDLE2slices is solved (both slices
are square-shape and have matching side-colors).
But TOPslice and BOTTMOslice do not have matching side-colors.
Current State is 1602. The TOPBOTTOMslices are solved (both
are square-shape and have matching side-colors).
But MIDDLE2slices' side-colors are not matching those of TOPBOTTOMslices.
Current State is 1701. TOPslice and BOTTOMslice are solved (all slices
are square-shape and have matching side-colors).
The 2 halfmoon discs on TOPslice have save colors but does not match TOPslice's top-color.
Current State is 1702. TOPslice and BOTTOMslice are solved (all slices
are square-shape and have matching side-colors).
But the 2 halfmoon discs on TOPslice have different colors.
