First is there a cube program so I can play with it and not destroy all the work I have done? And I have solved one side, and all of the edges without much problems. However, can I solve the middle pieces without destroying the edges? As of yet I haven't found a way to keep the one side I have finished and move one of the center pieces on another side. I don't want moves, I just want to know if it is possible to solve this way or if I need to start looking at another way to solve it. bryan
