Solving the Third Layer
1

The next step is to make a yellow cross.

2

USE - (F R U) (R’ U’ F’)

Repeat this algorithm until you get a yellow cross.

3

Once the yellow cross is made, the next step is to make the corners yellow.

USE - (R U) (R’ U) (R U2) R’

Repeat the algorithm. It will form a seven stage cycle. At one stage all the cubes turns yellow.

4

To interchange the corner yellow cubes,

USE - (R U2 R’ U’ R U2) (L’ U R’ U’ L)

5

To interchange the centre yellow cubes,

USE - F2 U’ (L R’) F2 (L’ R) U’ F2

This completes the Solution
