Things to know before solving the Revenge.

There is this thing called notation.  This is the side names and symbols used to show what side to turn.  YOU MUST READ THIS PAGE FIRST!!!

On this cube, Blue would be the U (Up) side, Yellow the R (Right) , and the Red the F (Front).  Opposite U is D for Down, opposite R is L for Left, and opposite F is B, for Back.  Sometimes I may have the letters in lowercase, like r or u.  Lowercase means one face in.  So looking at F, U would be the top row, and u would be the row right below it.  Remember this.

These are the symbols I will use to show the various algorithms.  You will need to know which move each symbool represents.  They are very easy to learn.
Note: These symbols only show the turns in one direction.  They will face the other direction at times.
