develop an algorithm that can solve a rubik's cube.

the rubik's cube can be solved using a combination of two algorithms - the "corner-edge pairing" method, and the "layer-by-layer" method. 

the corner-edge pairing algorithm involves pairing up the incorrect cube pieces, and then orienting them correctly. this can be done by using a series of algorithms, involving “triple flips”, “uneven swap” and “loopen”. 

the layer-by-layer algorithm involves solving each layer of the cube independently. this algorithm utilizes the idea of creating a “cross” on the top layer, and then solving each corner and edge of the cube one-by-one. 

these techniques can be combined to form an algorithm to solve a rubik’s cube.
