Solving a 1×1 Rubik’s Cube is quite simple, with records far less than a second. To solve it, face the yellow side up.
A 1×1 has 6 scrambles, one of them being the solved state. Although it’s somewhat hard to tell what is commonly accepted, I believe the best definition of solved that exists is yellow facing up. However, if you solve your 3×3 and throw it on the table red side up, nobody would get you in trouble. So, as always with 1×1’s, people will debate you because 1×1’s just do that to people.
