Without any hint of exaggeration, this is by far the best tutorial for solving the cube I have come across. Why? 1. All the possible options are clearly highlighted, 2. Clearly and well narrated and every progression simply constructed, 3. The idea is not to solve the puzzle but teach the necessary skills you need for all permutations. I love it! I am 7 years late for the video but got all the benefit!

[@omarbarakat8882]

no they are not. stop talking garbage

[@dalimiso]

Here’s what to do with your opinion@@omarbarakat8882 : 1. Fold your opinion as small as possible, 2. Lubricate your opinion with water or vaselin, 2. Lie down on your side and bring your upper knee closer to your chest. Now, stick your opinion as deep as possible in your rectum so that it will never come out again. You’re welcome.

[@kentuckyblugrass]

This is by far the best 3×3 Rubik's Cube Tutorial I've ever watched. The way this guy breaks everything down is great. Especially explaining the algorithms. I struggled for quite a while and would always get frustrated and put the cube down. It wasn't until the pandemic that I picked it up again. If anyone reading this is struggling with the cube and is repeatedly getting frustrated I want you to try this...It's what helped me and sparked the "Ah Ha" moment. Get a pen/pencil and paper. Write down the notations and algorithms just as this guy explains. Get familiar with both the "Righty & Lefty" Algorithms. Just building dexterity in your fingers and as you do this you will also be memorizing it just out of repetition. Start with the "Daisy"...then the "White Cross"... Exactly in the order of this video. The ONE THING you need to remember is that when your moving edges or ANYTIME you are doing an Algorithm, you MUST COMPLETE THE ALGORITHM! Even if your piece is where you need it. You MUST finish the sequence. That was the one mistake that I kept making over and over again. If you get frustrated...just put the cube down for a while and let your brain decompress. Pick the cube up everyday at least once. Take to work and mess with it while you're out for lunch or on break. I promise, if you stick with it your perseverance will reward you. The first time you complete it your confidence will go through the roof and it is the greatest feeling in the world. I apologize for the long rant. I just want to help others that are struggling with it. God Bless 🙏🏻

I was begging my friend to help me solve a 3x3, he recommended this video. At first, I was confused as hecc on how to do OLL and PLL. And after a month of figuring out, I started to solve the last layer without memorising the notations. And because of that, I can solve the 3x3 in just 3 mins. My oldest PB is 2:29.69 with this method. And since I wanted to make the time lower. So i started to white cross instead of daisy (its basically CFOP) and learned f2l, oll and pll. So because of that I got a 19.04 after 3 months of learning. Guys, doing something hard continously means you never give up trying. Edit: i didnt even remember saying this

Not only is the video clear, the speaker coherent, but the speed, the graphics, and simplicity of the usage of algorithms is by far the best.

Best guide out there. NEW LEARNERS KNOW THIS you do not have to be a genius to solve these things. This guide (as I now have learned) simply shows you the algorithms to apply to different situations. If you are patient and focused, you can master it in a a few hours. Now, all my friends are super impressed and think I'm some visual memory genius when in actual fact, it's the simplest thing that anyone can learn. I try to teach my friends how to do it as well but they give up 5 minutes in thinking they have to be Einstein but if you simply persist, you'll learn how easy it really is.

If you have 3 yellow but not in any of the 3 examples he showed but instead in more of a 'triangle' or shape of an 'A' where there is one yellow in each bottom corner and 1 yellow in the middle, use the method he showed for the "angle method". By doing the "angle method" you should end up with the "line" positioning which you can continue the video to the "line method" from there. I hope this helped out as I was stuck on that and didn't know what method to do so I just tried the angle method and it put me into the right direction to the line method. A like would be appreciated so more people can see this!

[@CaseyBeauchamp]

34:56 I've just figured out that this particular algorithm moves those 3 unsolved squares in a counter clockwise direction, which is why occasionally you will have to do it twice to solve the cube (as you demonstrate at 35:33). However, knowing this fact if when you look at your cube and you can see that your 3 squares need to move clockwise once to solve instead of moving counter clockwise twice you just need to reverse the algorithm to solve it in one sequence. So instead of R1 L1 R5 L5 to move counter clockwise twice solving the cube, use L1 R1 L5 R5 to move clockwise once to solve the cube. I know this is 7 years after you made this video but this video is the only reason I can solve the cube today so efficiently. I just started tinkering with it about 2 months ago and your video explained what to do so well that I can solve a cube in about 3 minutes and I keep getting faster. I really wanted to thank you for this guide and since I just figured out this trick I wanted to share it with you and your audience. I also figured out in the case of all 4 squares being different your algorithm still only moves those 3 squares, keeping the one facing you the same, so in a way while your deciding which way to hold the cube you can figure out which of the 3 sides you want to solve. Another algorithm I discovered (from another video I wish I remembered where) is that if all 4 squares are opposite of their side (meaning red on orange, orange on red, blue on green, and green on blue) you can solve that with a completely different algorithm M2 (middle) U' (up prime) M2 U'2 M2 U' M2. Repeating that algorithm on a solved cube will place it back into the original 4 square position. Sorry I rambled so much and thank you again for this tutorial.

Nchittock I used this method until I was averaging 1 minute then I transitioned to CFOP. I'm now unlearning CFOP for a different method (called Roux) which I prefer, however the majority of cubers use CFOP. You can mix and match steps when learning: Cross, F2L and Beginner's method last layer etc until you're ready for a full transition.

[@rajisrahul.]

Very important for people who want to be faster at this amazing method. When you are at the end where you have to do the right alg, left alg, right alg x5, left alg x5 you can just use logic to be faster I found out it takes 6 right algs ( or 6 left algs) to get to your original position. This meant that if u instead do one right alg backwards, that is the same as doing five right algs ( same thing with left). Therefore, you can do the algorithm right alg, left alg , right alg backwards, left alg backwards. Right alg backwards: U, R, U', R' Left alg backwards: U', L', U, L This logical trick I found out made me cut 40 seconds off my PB of solving this cube. Like if this helped :D
