Attempting to Solve a Skewb (With NO Help)

[@JPerm]

Btw, I mentioned in 2 other videos that I solved my friend's Skewb over 10 years ago with my own method, but I have long forgotten how it works. I thought this time I might rediscover the same method, but I'm sure I've never done the intuitive corner twist before so this must be different. Anyway, I definitely started the video with no clue how to solve it and never got any help (even in the past), so it felt like a fair challenge!

@@notcristi Pretty much, you can solve the first face like the first corners on 3x3. Im using Cubicles tutorials since J perm didn't exist at the time so u just flip the 2x2 upside down so the solved face is on the top and do Sexy Move until the Yellow corner is facing the bottom(you can do any colour but Im doing it so you did white face first) Then do a D and do it till all the yellow corners are facing bottom then do corner orientation and then ur done

Nice! When I was trying to solve Skewb for my first time, I was just trying sexy moves/sledgehammers (they're the same on Skewb) and found out, that you can actually twist 4 corners with 2 sexy moves from the right position and cycle 3 centers with [yellow on top; sledge y2 sledge]. That's maybe a little bit more convenient than your method but I'm mindblown with that twisting commutator you invented!

[@hatgirlgorillatag]

I watched most of your With No Help solve videos while waiting for my order of twisty puzzles to arrive, and when they did, I managed to figure out my own way to solve the Skewb by developing my own algorithm using your methodology of breaking something solved and restoring it a different way. The algorithm I figured out is a four move out-out-in-in pattern that twists all four bottom corners while also swapping the left and right faces with each other, and the front and bottom faces with each other. So using it just once does the face swaps, and rotates the bottom corners once. Using it a second times restores the races and rotates the corners a second time, and using it a third time restores the corners and once again swaps the faces. My solve follows the pattern of: - Intuitively solve the white corners and center. - Check the orientation of the yellow corners and fix them with my algorithm - Use my algorithm in triple bursts to get the edges to where I need them to be without messing up the corners. Thanks so much for your With No Help series. It's done a lot to help me learn puzzle solving approaches.

[@OP-nc5ki]

[@Gretchaninov]

You should definitely try the Master Skewb. It's one of the hardest puzzles I've ever tried. It basically has the same moves as a normal Skewb but with more layers and WAY more pieces and possible positions. All the pieces can mix around but every move affects a big part of the puzzle. I'd tried on and off for years until I finally solved it about a week ago. It's a significant challenge, even getting your head around how it works, but worth it.

It’s fascinating to me that you didn’t arrive at the same conclusion as I did when I tried a skewb for the first time without help. The skewb is basically just a weird pyraminx. Mechanically, 4 of the corners on a skewb are attached to the core, and the other 4 are floating. The 4 rigid corners function identically to the corners of a pyraminx(if the tips didn’t twist). The 6 square pieces function like the 6 edge pieces of a pyraminx but with 1 color instead of 2. And then, finally, the last 4 corners (the ones that float) are the ones that don’t exist on a pyraminx, but are pretty easy to understand. They function quite similarly to the corners of a 3x3.

[@Kaepsele337]

The solution I found works a bit differently (and is probably worse), but here it goes: The skewb rotates around its corners, so I use those as references instead of the centers. I choose one corner to start on, lets say the yellow/blue/red one, then the blue/white/orange, red/white/green and yellow/green/orange corners are already at the correct position (all 4 corners form a tetrahedron and you cannot change that by twisting the cube) and I fix their rotations so they match. Doing a commutator of just the rotations of two of those corners flips the other tetrahedron (i.e. 2 two-cycles of the remaining corners). Then I fix the rotation of the corners in exactly the same way as you did. The faces can be solved by doing the commutator again to flip one of the tetrahedrons and un-flipping it from the other side. This makes a three-cycle of the faces, the rotation of the corners stays solved. By doing this a couple of times you can solve the faces.
