How to Do Step 6 on a Rubik's Cube

The Rubik's Cube is a popular toy puzzle that was invented by the Hungarian Architect Erno Rubik in 1964. The Rubik's Cube has six faces, and each face has a total of nine colored cubes. The aim of the game is to rotate the cube's faces until each face is one solid color. An official manual explains how to solve the puzzle in seven steps; step six involves rotating the corners of the faces of the cube.
