When you competed at the World Championships in 2003, what cube did you use and what was that cube like?

[@redkb]

Rubik's brand and it sucked.

[@BrodytheCuber]

Was that what everyone used?

[@KyoHeiRFP]

Yes.

I was wondering who would comment this first

[@okboing]

im gonna name as many as i can before i get into the vid 1. roux 2. beginner 3. cfop 4. is f2l a method by itself? 5. magic moves (see Mathologer) 6. reassemble 7. peel stickers 8. paint 9. ask god 10. make a computer do it for you 11. randomly turn sides 12. somehow find a gods algorithm and use it for 27 years 13. stare at it really hard to make it solve itself 14. buttered side down

[@critizon3074]

Buttered side down is kinda like god method. *subscribe to BSD*

non cuber: just peel the stickers off(dead meme)

[@name_for]

what happen if u have tile cube

[@loodng7616]

Or you could just use petrus

[@DaviddeKloet]

Very interesting. Using the partially stickered cubes was a very good way to explain these methods. A shame you didn't use that with the Waterman method. I'm guessing you thought you could explain that one best because it's the method you use yourself but I didn't follow it at all because you only used a fully stickered cube.

[@mattchoi170]

The heck?! What about Peel the Stickers Off??? Nice vid Kenneth!

[@mattchoi170]

Thank you for the Heart, good sir.

[@HandledToaster2]

My friend did this to my cube a few years ago I was in tears

[@raihanislam912]

My cube is on its way Edit: it arrived the day after I commented

[@tehcubedude]

Great video, Kenneth! I hadn't heard of the Waterman Method before!

[@Cuber-ml8gj]

As for low move count methods, I knew about the ‘optimal’ solutions, but not the two Kenneth mentioned. I think I looked into variations of corners first at one point, so I almost recognized the waterman method, but definitely not the name.

[@theomnivert]

you should have included heise method i tried to learn it but it was difficult

[@shaunzhang733]

Search ImaginaryHuman072889 on youtube, then watch his video 'Commutators and Conjugates, an Ultimate Instructional Video' this video will be able to give you instructions on how to deal with this. Also check out thepuzzledmagician channel, he gives more explanations on corner Commutators and Conjugates.

[@confederacyofindependentsy44]

Seriously? You upload this video jist as i started to learn many diffrent ways on how to solve the cube? ....i love you for reading my mind

[@CoreyHillesheim]

I learned the Petrus method first. I like it because it’s fairly intuitive. I always solved the 4th corner one piece at a time rather than solving the last slot because I didn’t know what I was doing. I learned CFOP many years later. Shortly after figuring out CFOP I went back and learned beginners method. I’ve learned all the OLLs and PLLs for CFOP now so that’s what I’ll probably continue to use. The Old Pochmann method is pretty neat, too. @JPerm has a nice video on getting started doing blind solves using the Old Pochmann method. If you know T perm and Y perm, you can do blind. I also hear you can solve the cube using only J perms which I assume is similar to the OP method.

[@ibrahimalabed9192]

They need to have RedKB novelty tshirts.

[@tehcubedude]

I'd get one :P

[@twistercuber]

"So the next method is Rowe" me: "Oh did Rowe make a method?" *looks at video screen* "Roux" lol Nice video! I have never heard of the Waterman method. Interesting.

[@lingkitty1998]

TwisterCuber how about the Firemen method?

[@twistiicuber1055]

Lmao

[@twistercuber]

Yeah I've heard of the fireman method before. I think I saw it in a comment

[@hunterdeardurff4386]

I love methods. I love when people make video about methods. I use CFOP as main but I know ZZ,and petrus, I know the steps to methods like Roux and Zzct, but I didn't remember algorithms for those. I also know Tony Fishers method and your method. I was interested in methods more than speed cubing when I started, but now I am more interested in speed cubing. So I do that most of the time. A method I would like to learn is, All the methods.

[@Cuber-ml8gj]

Colorful pockets did stuff on triangular, rectangular, and hexagonal fransisco, which I thought were interesting. I even got into speed solving with hexagonal Francisco, until I understood its flaws better.

[@hunterdeardurff4386]

1500 Cuber I only know about Hexagonal Fransisco. I like Andrews videos about methods.

[@kennethsq1361]

[@AzuReGravity]

I only know CFOP and beginners but I've only been cubing for 3ish months

[@twistiicuber1055]

I know right they’re just so fascinating

[@ENW08]

who else is gonna try to be sub-10 with human thistlethwaite?

[@maxblechman2665]

Me

[@stopplecone]

Mine's also similar to the Waterman method I call it the 'sandwich'

[@thoperSought]

I use Roux, though I'm still really slow-just barely starting to learn some algs for two-look CMLL. I had a hard time getting into beginner's/CFOP, and-at least the way I learned it-Roux was more about figuring out how the pieces move around the cube. originally, I only learned two algs at all-SUNE and a kinda slow corner swap. maybe that means I was learning CFOP wrong, but oh well. I'm really curious about Human Thistlewaite, though.

[@aleksk4151]

wow man you are smart. You know how to do Roux! When i looked at it it seems really complicated I like the layer-by-layer approach, it's simple to understand. Trust me, CFOP is not as difficult . If you need help ask me

[@justinbestumblin1112]

It’s been a month dude. MAKE MORE!!!

[@alonsozapata1366]

I used to be very impressed by how people solved the Cube. Now that I now how to solve it, it's really not that impressive to me. It's just a matter of learning a method and it's sequences. The first time I ever solve a Rubiks Cube was about a month ago... All these years, I never took the time to use tutorials on the internet. So I bought a Cube and searched youtube for instruction. That Simple! I use the layer by layer method which took me a couple of hours to learn. I got it down without any problems. It's very easy and it's fun to impress people LOL. I would like to learn other methods but just haven't had the time... Great Vid!

[@KerryHallPhD]

Excellent I've been confused by some of this terminology. Very helpful overview.

[@redkb]

Thanks, I've also been thinking of doing a video on cubing terms.

[@moridin812]

Waterman and 2 Phase Algorithm were new to me. Also, I noticed you did not mention the Heise Method.

[@confederacyofindependentsy44]

Eeehm... Fridritsch? Row?...rrrrriiight

[@ej22_gc86]

It’s just the same as the german “ch”

[@tkotila]

There are some other methods I have solved the cube with, and it's pretty fun to learn new methods, though I am not very fast at any of them. I have learned things like No More PLL, which is a very interesting CFOP varient that ends in step 4c of the roux method. Belt method, edges first method, tripod, heise, snyder, and others are very fun to solve with.

[@maxblechman2665]

9:49 I actually learned it and know it pretty well. Anyone else?

[@rosebuster]

Nice video. But I can't accept pronouncing "Roux" as "Row", especially that the actual pronunciation "Roo" is much cuter, because it's a kangaroo. I actually have a furry friend who has a kangaroo character (which basically means he portrays himself as a kangaroo) and he only uses the Roux method simply because it's pronounced the same way as "Roo". :P

you messed around with your cube and "accidentally" oriented all edges or what?

[@JT-qk9kn]

@@NinjarioPicmin no, i wasn't just messing around with it. I was actually trying to solve it, i was just using a method that i thought i came up with. But it turned out that i didn't come up with it

I tried inventing my own method and apparently got something very similar to the waterman method I like it because it's really easy to teach after teaching 2x2

[@sierra6293]

I might learn one of those but i still think that CFOP is the best method to use and i will mostly use that one.

[@alyssabernardo199]

Wow! Really cool video!

[@trending_mobagames]

I use Petrus Method. For solving a Rubiks Cube. Maybe X cross can work

[@matejcataric2259]

I love this channel!

[@mooncake9862]

Or you can just paste stickers of the same colour on each side of the cube so it will never get scrambled

[@owenwilliams8734]

Buy a new cube is the easiest method

[@rafarooni]

Or you could just use Petrus

[@Bublumydog]

I can't solve just 1 layer😥😓😞😟☹️😔

[@neurotica5461]

my lbl is when you make a yellow cross then line up the edges using R U R' U R U2 R' then use U R U' L' U R' U' L to line up the corners then use R' D' R D to orient the corners

[@brianbethea3069]

That's beginner method.

[@aawillma]

I still use a beginner method but I don't remember where I learned it and it doesn't seem like the order most people learn. It's a 4 step last layer. PC,OC,PE,OE. Sucks because I never learned the algorithms most people use but it works for me for casual solving.

[@universalgamer1237]

I use cfop and I suck at roux and I have never heard the waterman method

[@FishingForLife28]

When I started cubing I used the layer by layer method like alot other beginners, also the one I use when I have to teach someone else to solve a cube. Shortly after I went over to cfop. I've heard of roux but never learned it

Why do people refer to the "Beginner Method" instead of the "Norse" method? A guy named Norse wrote the book in 1981 called "The simple solution to the Rubiks cube". I learned it in 1981 and was sub 30 seconds. Back then it was fast.

[@t6amygdala]

I don't care about speed that much since I'm never been that fast anyway, so what are some of the most unique methods. I don't care how fast they are; I only care about how cool/different they are.

[@pixy3266]

So today I'm really motivated to improve myself to get faster but... I'm really slow because I only know the basic method with many steps (cross then corners then second layer then cross of yellow face then corners of yellow face then corners and finish with the last cubes) uh just I want to get better but I absolutely don't know what method I need to learn! I don't want to learn a method who will doesn't help me, I just want the method I need and I just absolutely don't know what to do... If you can help me I will be very happy Really great video too, now I know that there is different method than layer by layer...

[@shaunzhang733]

Check out ImaginaryHuman072889 'Commutators and Conjugates - The Ultimate Instructional Video', also check out Thepuzzledmagician, he has a series of videos called 'solving the rubik's cube without memorization', he explains in more details of how to solve the corners with commutators. Commutators and Conjugates is an all in one solution, it can solve any situations, doesn't matter if the pieces are on the same layer or not.

[@musicuber7043]

Human Thistlethwaite ? Is it Human Kociemba ? Because last phase of Human Kociemba is also cube reduced to only 180 degree rotation. Is it the same thing or no? And, where is Tripod? Triangular Francisco, 8355, and I can't believe you omit the undisputed Heise method.

[@ericfielding668]

I've had fun solving the middle layer first, but then you have two parities to take care of: edges and corners. When I am lucky and don't have to spend time correcting the parities, my time on solving the cube - middle layer first - is comparable to my CFOP time. (I don't have the finger tricks going so I tend to solve via CFOP in about 60 seconds.)

Am I the only one who uses the method where the first face is solved except one corner which stays unsolved until the end? Does that method even have a name?
