Cube Rotations
These are not actual turns, and is meant to
instruct a rotation of whole the cube. Sometimes
making a cube rotation allows executing much
more convenient turns, like turning the R face,
instead of the B face. There are 3 possible axes to
rotate the cube on: The X, Y & Z axes. Just like in
math. Those are also the letters used for these
rotations. Best way to remember the rotations is
just thinking about a 3D function graph:
x x' y
y' z z'
