How to Solve the Kilominx (2x2 Megaminx Tutorial)

[@gabrielespinoza5269]

so kilominx isn't an event but clock is?

[@Z3Cubing]

Yup. Keep in mind that clock is a Rubik's brand puzzle that has existed since the 80s, while there has only been one (pretty low quality) kilominx that has existed until a few months ago.

[@gabrielespinoza5269]

i guess you have a point

[@aerofloyd6220]

makes sense, but it still would have been nice to see kilominx as a wca puzzle.

[@godzilla3768]

that is correct

One thing I found really distinctive and distinguishable about your tutorials is that you thoroughly explain every step, making sure that we get it, with a case, and making it easier for some experienced cubers, you've taught me 2x2, 4x4, Skewb, Pyraminx and the void, thanks man.

[@mrshenanigan8367]

Dezypoo he taught me 4x4 and pyraminx and now Kilominx even though I don't even have one. Now that I think about it, why did I even watch this? Lol!

[@pikabrothers3965]

Dezypoo he taught me the same as u but I learnt 3x3 not void!!!

[@thedonutbros1275]

As of right now, he's taught me the 3x3 and 2x2. It's not much, but I'm planning on learning my whole collection (besides floppy cube and this random, unpopular puzzle)! As of right now, my collection is: 3x3, 2x2, Floppy Cube (1x3x3), Kilominx, Megaminx, Pyraminx, Pyramorphix, and Skewb. There is 1 more, which is the unpopular puzzle in which I don't know the name of. It's like a 1x2x3, but pillowed.

[@brittneyhollowell7962]

I just ordered one of these. Should be here in a couple days! I got it simply because i know how to solve the 2x2 and this just looked too fun. I also watched some of your other tutorials and found them easy to follow so i know that if i run into an issue with the kilominx your video is right there to help me fix it.

[@gdnatsirt3128]

Awesome video, but when ever you are doing long algorithms, can you slow down a bit plz? 😂

Really good and thorough video! All I needed was the T perm but you taught that really well! I know the pyraminx, void, skewb,2x2,3x3, and 4x4. Im trying to learn the five by five and the megaminx and Im struggling with Ortega for the 2x2. But I can consistently get

[@gigsim7115]

"if you don't know that algo already, go learn it" love it

[@OnlyBadVibes935]

for getting the last layer before permutation, you can also use a sune algorithm but instead of R U R' U R U2 R' it's R U R' U R U3 R'

[@Z3Cubing]

Why would you do U3? Why not U2'?

[@OnlyBadVibes935]

legoboyz3! With it being a Pentagon on each side you have to turn it 3 times but maybe that works, I don't really know, I just started solving kilominx :P

Hey lego! do you mind making an updated version of the fredrich method(if you haven't done one already)? i cant seem to find any good Tutorials, and when you explained the beginners method, you explained it very clearly! if you can do this, can you show every case for F2L, OLL, PLL, and the Fastest way to solve the white cross? Please and thanks!

[@Babyboss65]

He doesn't know OLL. For F2L I would consider learning the intuitive version. For OLL I used badmephisto.com/oll.php I can't give you advise for F2L and PLL tutorials, a german KZbinr taught me. I guess Dan's tutorials are quite good.

Am I the only one who doesn't get a solve kilominx after doing the 2nd algorithm? It's getting more scrambled when I do it. I do the exact same orientation the matching two corners and everything.

[@kolonelwolf2449]

nvm I got it. I should have rotated the R2 clockwise. You need to point out that so it's clockwise btw. It got me confused for a moment

[@ky-gp4sz]

+Kolonel Wolf you don't point out it's clockwise, only point out it's counter clockwise, otherwise assume clockwise

[@stefanielynn84]

🎉 great video, and now I can solve it, but on the last layer, but you forgot 1case after you solve the gray side when you're trying to get matching corners, There's one case where you can only get One piece soloved, max. But it's quite rare period.

I OWN YOU MY LIFE

[@edct07videos35]

You own me your life?😂

[@charlesc859]

Here's a trick I figured out. In the PLL case with 2 bars, you can solve it instantly by holding it so one bar is in the front and the other is in the back left. If it is in the back right, just rotate the kilominx. Then do a J-Perm and it is solved. :)

[@Santiago2134-k2k]

Ja or Jb

[@jdgames3621]

Aww man. I solved this completely intuitively by myself without tutorials and I was planning on making a tutorial on the way I did it. Then I look on KZbin and see that you did it the EXACT same way as me and I had no idea. I’m sad now😭

[@smittywarbenyagermangensen4860]

Hey! I got a PLL case aside from the two you went over. Anyone know why this happened? I didn't use the first algorithm ( R' D' R D) for every single corner. I solved the middle second layer intuitively, and a few of the 3rd layer that way as well. If anyone's really interested, I'll provide the case... My first layer "white" face is the dark blue face, so light blue is my last layer color... in clockwise from a top view of the puzzle the pieces are: (lightblue/grey/orange), (lb/grey/tan), (lb/green/tan), (lb/green/purple), (lb/orange/purple). Obviously the rest of the puzzle is solved.

[@Arae1414]

Another strategy is get it on the side directly under it not 180 degrees under but 90 then move it to the side push the top down move the side back and up like inserting it

Nvm thx for this video man! Got yourself +1 Sub!

[@Pete-Prolly]

Guys , guys, check it out, when you do R' D' R D on the last later and you execute that U move to get the next grey piece, don't just pick ANY grey piece, pick the grey one that has other colors that will match where you're putting it next! Do as many U moves as you need to find it, just don't rotate your k-minx, as he said, and don't forget to do the D at the end of every R' D' R D sequence. DISCLAIMER : This is not mathematically rigorous... (yet.) i.e. I could've just had a lucky case,

[@punklejunk]

So we need to be familiar with the megaminx before tackling this one? Or is knowing one's way around the 3x3 enough to get started? Megaminx looks way more complicated.

[@Z3Cubing]

Megaminx actually isn’t too much harder than a 3x3, there’s just a lot more pieces. You can certainly solve a kilominx without that knowledge, however.

[@polpoo3942]

Cam you tell me how you memorize longer algorithms?

[@mrshenanigan8367]

Pol Poo practice. I memorize them in pieces. I'll memorize a trigger, then any random notation until the next trigger. Then I'll learn that trigger and so on until I've learned the whole thing. I learned OLL Parity and PLL Parity algs for 4x4 in like 3 minutes doing that. And those are long algs.

[@polpoo3942]

Thanks

[@marttielvisto3519]

Kaden Haley PLL parity alg is very short. At least the one I know. It's r2 U2 (r2 Uw2)2 where r means inner layer turn and Uw means double layer turn

[@finbob5]

I just try to turn the algorithms into words.

[@saimahashmi1987]

Break it into pieces. I'll give a few examples. For T-perm-(Sexy move) R' F R2 (U' R' U') (R U R' F').For CCW U-perm- R U' (R U R U) R U' (R' U') R2. For Y-perm- F R (U' R' U') (R U R' F') (Sexy move) (Right handed sledgehammer)

[@franzvolkmann3957]

just got my kilo minx today but it locks up very much and layers where I don't want them to turn are turning which makes it lockup even more. I loobed and tentioned it. so do I just need to break it in or is my turning style the problem?

[@fixonbiased]

So you know how on the last layer when you have to arrange the corners to solve the cube? I did the algorithm 16 or something times and it still brought me to the same case 😂

[@screamingpuppy211]

one of my corners is twisted, can you help me find it

[@Geo-jj5wl]

The whole tutorial helped except I don’t know any of the perm algs and because of the speed the part at the end scrambled it to the beginning again

[@sosyl]

The R' D' R D is slightly triggering but this is a great tutorial

[@bellastaples8125]

to permute the last layer to finally solve the kilominx can you use the algorithm R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R' as on the 3x3 bcuz that alg is toooooo long.

[@educayshunalvideos3561]

How do i memorise the final layer algorithm?

[@bubbies2186]

So should I get the kilomimx or megaminx? I am confused on this as one is harder than the other but I have an interest in both of them. I need a few suggestions to help me and if you could be so helpful to recommend a good brand/maker for any of these cubes? Thank you😁

[@italianseacreature6985]

In my opinion megaminx is more interesting, although both of them will be fairly easy to solve if you know how to solve a 3x3 cube

[@danielyaguas982]

this was so usefull because i'am getting one and i want to learn how to solve it :D

[@charlesc859]

Cool tutorial. My friend just gave me one of these, and I made up a method to solve it based off of a 3x3. I came here to how if my method was really inefficient, but it turns out this basically exactly the same thing... I used the T-Perm and everything. One question: what brand is yours? The one I have came from "Ganowo" and it looks identical to the Shengshou. Mine looks identical to yours too... I wonder if Ganowo is just reselling Shengshou or something... Thanks!

[@Z3Cubing]

Mine is Shengshou.

[@charlesc859]

legoboyz3! Ok, thanks!

[@evv.n1211]

What if only one corner is solved on the top layer? You only showed it for 2 are solved?

[@mdavh2582]

8:15 That is not the same as a 3x3, corner swapping for a 3x3 is R' F R' B B R F' R' B B R R. The one you use might work too, but never seen anyone else use that.

[@ht-mq9sx]

So when I get to solving the last layer, making it so the opposite color of the first layer are all facing up, but when I do the 4 move algorithm, it solves the last layer correctly,(meaning the edges are all correct) but it messes up the face on the bottom right corner. I keep trying, but it goes in an infinite loop. Is there a certain way to position it before doing the algorithm? Any tips??? I have solved it before using this method, but only twice, since now I am stuck at this stage. Keep up the great work!!! :)

[@Z3Cubing]

Lots of people mess up with that step, but it's just a matter of doing the whole thing exactly right. Just make sure you're only turning the U side and you never rotate the cube, also being sure to do final D moves when necessary.

[@Tostarenaruins]

I've been on this cube for an hour but it's still scrambled. What did I do wrong? 🤔
