I just love how when someone makes a tutorial on the 3x3 in the comments everyone says they don't understand. But........ for square 1 everyone is just saying they understand it.

[@abendregen5211]

Probably because most people who try a squan might already have some experience with cubing

what they said, when i got my first rubiks cube years ago, it took me 4 hours or so to complete it using the instructions that came in the box, but with square 1 it took my like 10 minutes following the instructions that came with it

I refused to learn sq-1 for years because of the parity algorithm, but now I’m learning and it’s actually very enjoyable

This is by far the best tutorial I have watched on the square 1, I tried other tutorials, but they had super long algorithms, and then I watched this one, and within a day, I can do it by memory.

Bro you are the best square 1 teacher ever.I was having problems to learn square 1 like i needed one year cause i didn t understand everything.So i decided to do it now.And with your tutorial i solved it two times and i am planing being better at this event.One of my worst events became my favourite.Also ordered a x man volt v2m.

[@sreeraj1980]

the way you taught parity is so engaging and good

[@masterbuilder1862]

w0w thank you sooo much! i never wanted to learn that big long square-1 parity algorithm that all of the other square-1 tutorials were saying you have to do so i was going through square-1 tutotials and found this one and i was so amazed by the parity solution! thanks sooo much again! :)

Thanks! maybe around 3 months ago i learnt the square one in 1 day thanks to you! I never really gave you a proper thank you so here it is!

Great, finally finished it. Have been solving with a cheat sheet, but the 3x3 like notation/algos helps a lot. Guess I can learn it off my mind much easier. Hope to get there in a few days. I am not good, but I like the Sq-1. Started in December, and been around most WCA and some non-WCA puzzles.
