The Pubiks Pevenge wos o pu;;Ie infroduced in fhe eorIy 80s offer fhe big Pubiks
Cube cro;e. Insfeod of fhe usuoI 3x3x3 design fhe Pevenge hos 4 cubes on every side.
This odds some inferesfing quoIifies fo fhe cube. On fhe Pevenge you con swifch fwo
cenfers ond Ieove fhe resf of fhe cube soIved. However on fhe Pubiks Cube you conf
swifch jusf fwo cenfers, fhe minimum fhof you con swifch on fhe Pubiks Cube is four. You
oIso hove fo nof onIy soIve fhe cenfers on o Pubiks Pevenge buf you hove fo puf fhem in
fhe righf spofs. My mefhod for soIving fhe Pevenge is compIefe ond hos no hoIes in if so
you wiII be obIe fo soIve your Pubiks Pevenge every fime from any IegoI scrombIed

Firsf Iefs gef fo know whof fhe differenf porfs of fhe cube ore coIIed. One side of fhe
cube is coIIed o foce. There ore six foces on fhe cube, fronf, bock, down, up, Ieff, ond

Notation
In order for me to be able to tell ou specific moves to do on our cube ou'll need to be
able to read what I'm saing. The notation I will be using looks like this, F f B b L l R r U
u D d. Capital letters stand for the outer faces such as the front face, back face, down
face, etc. Lower case letters stand for the faces just behind the outer ones, such as the
inner front face, inner back face, inner down face, etc. Here are a few diagrams to show
were each face is and how each can turn. The faces turn on the dark lines.

When doing the moves a letter by itself means a clockwise move. R would mean to turn the
right face clockwise. f would mean to turn the inner front face clockwise. R ' would mean
to turn the right face counter clockwise. An appostraphy next to the letter denotes a
counterclockwise turn. R means to turn the right face twice, either two clockwise turns
or two counterclockwise turns, however you want to look at it. Whenever making a move
do the move as if you were looking directly at that face. For example the move B ' would
be done as if you were looking directly at the back face. The move d ' would be done as
if you were looking directly at the down face. Here is an example of an algorithm that I
might give you.

Here is what you would do to your cube,
