Rubiks cube

[Charophycean]

The 2x2 cube puzzle before the secret library. The clues are useless.

Just try to alaign 2 in horizontal and vertical. Not diagonally. And it's little hard, btw.

Yeah that's no problem. I can even get 3 aligned. The 4th one is the hard one.

i quit and uninstalled because of this puzzle, my brain not good enough for rubiks,
At least I made it half way through last chapter

No need to give up and waste the rest of a great game. For puzzles like this where a normal brain (like mine!) can't solve it - there are YouTube videos to follow. App Unwrapper is recommended.

(Or in this case just follow the solution given above.)

But if you made changes it keeps them and so you're not starting from the same position/state so can't use the solution above. Is there a way to reset a puzzle?
****edit**** it seems to reset on loading

Here’s an approach that’s not (yet) giving a solution (nod to George Pólya).

1) Get a box, and mark it as though it were made of 8 cubes, and mark the front (to represent the 4 cube-faces you see when you’re looking at the puzzle).

2) In the actual game puzzle move each of the 4 controls (just a bit) to see if/where the symbols are located, and place a temporary sticker on each of the individual cube-faces of your box to show where the symbols are.

3) Since you can’t rotate any of the 4 virtual cube-groupings on your box, you represent rotations that would be made in the puzzle by moving stickers on the box to show their new positions.

4) ‘Check mate’ in 5 moves is possible…?

In principle all you need is the 1st layer corner algorithm for the rubics cube. Note that you can rotate the whole cube by rotating opposing wheels in the same direction. That makes it possible to rotate front or backplane by first rotating the cube, rotating one side, then rotate back. Getting three corners aligned should be easy with a bit try and error, then the corner algorithm for the last one.

EDIT: The cube re-sets when you close and re-open the game, so no chapter restart is required.

This puzzle ruined the game for me. I paid for a game with clever puzzles, not a game that pulls out a Rubik's cube "gotcha" at the 11th hour.

Just remember where your finished pieces are, and move them out of the way while rotating the other piece. I just did a one minute solve.
