I just did my first successful blind solve because of YOU!! Thank you so much you deserve a billion like and subs sir. All of the other youtube videos of how to blind solve are very confusing and long!! It took me a lot of tries but you still helped me do it. If anyone else reads this, just remember to not give up keep on trying no matter how hard you may think something is just never give up!!!

I think you should add a U' to the end of the R perm in the description. Beginners might refer to that and dnf a lot. This is an awesome video btw.

Sure! I was actually considering making a 3BLD tutorial, and this is exactly how I would have done it, so now idk if I should make one lol.

The parity alg is an R perm.

[@aashish419]

I am not getting it

[@AlgyCuber]

basically (B D) edge swap : t perm (A C) corner swap : y perm parity : ra perm (i use M2/OP not OP edge) (im not a blder) (how can i improve memorization?)

[@AnshDalmiya]

It's the T perm, J perm! 15:20 : "So these 3 pieces will not be touched" **touches all three of them with as many fingers as possible** (btw I know that's not what he means)lol

I don't really understand why he didn't mention that the 2 algorithms he used are the T perm and the R perm. Would've been much easier for CFOP solvers, cuz they wouldn't have to learn any new algorithms. I changed the corner swapping alg with Y perm, because I already know it so I only had to change the swapping position.

[@JPerm]

+David Thomas like letter pair images? that's what everyone does so you should be able to do it with enough practice. but you can also use color pairs to memorize instead, like yellow-red = french fries with ketchup. you would have to memorize more though, since each piece would be an image rather than each pair of pieces being an image

Great video! I'm still working on my first blind solve, but I'm getting close. Here's something fun I discovered completely by accident. If you do the edge swap algo in the middle of the corner swap algo all pieces end up in the same places. Corner swap (first half): R U' R' U' R U R' F' Edge swap: R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' Corner swap (second half): R U R' U' R' F R

Today (actually yesterday) , I had an idea of learning blindfolded then I searched like a normal being on KZbin and and just clicked on your tutorial because you are the best

[@magaara8310]

For the parity algorithm... since It's just an R-Perm... Can I execute the other R-Perm (that one that goes like R' U2 R... or L U2 L' with the bar on the front) or is there a specific reason to use the one that you showed?

[@JPerm]

+BBCuber99 Any R perm is fine, as long as it does exactly the same thing as the one I showed. The blocks must stay in place, hence the U' at the end

[@Zain_ur_Rehman]

Thanks.you are legend tutor I leraned to solve blindfolded.I dont know but i only understand your tutorial. You are teaching honestly.And for peoples who getting problems check description.Thanks from heart.

[@cloptete1979]

at the end of the demonstration for the edge cycle you stop with a position i can't figure how to get out of. both the adjacent pieces are in the opposite slots so how do you get out of this situation?

[@JPerm]

Sorry I don't understand the question, could you be more specific? What time in the video?

[@cloptete1979]

it's at 10:10 where you don't go any further. by performing the move you ste just swapping the 2 pieces orange and white and red and white.

[@JPerm]

I'm not sure I understand your question fully, but I'll try to answer. If the buffer piece (red/white) is in the correct position, you should ignore it as long as the edges are not solved yet. Move on to a new cycle at this point, which is also explained in the video. Let me know if you have more questions :)

[@nathanhernandez7173]

Watching this prepping for when Birdbox happens irl

[@MichaelsWatching]

Very good tutorial for this method. Since I don't like exceptions in methods, I prefer doing it using only with t-perm. That way, if I have parity, I just do one more t-perm, then I solve the corners. No other cases to be solved. Nevertheless an excellent video!

I keep getting to the last edges on the top with all the other crosses 3/4 made but the top is always having the top color facing to the side. What do I do?

[@JPerm]

+Parker Ayoub Sorry I don't understand the question, top color facing to the side? which sticker exactly?

[@user-fu7no1xu5b]

J Perm Ok so I solve with yellow up. I have all the edges except the ones with yellow on them correct. Some of the yellow stickers are facing up and some are facing to the side. How do I solve all the edges?

[@user-fu7no1xu5b]

Right now blue yellow and green yellow have yellow facing up, but they are next to each other and red yellow and orange yellow are facing to the side and are next to each other.

[@user-fu7no1xu5b]

I figured it out but you should still answer because other may have the same question

[@JPerm]

Flipped edges are usually because you did memorization wrong (by picking the correct piece but the wrong sticker). Another time this would happen is if the edge was already in the correct spot and flipped (right after the scramble) and your memorization did not account for that. Each flipped edge is a cycle of 2 letters where you just pick one of the stickers and then the other sticker (for the BU edge, this would be AQ or QA). So the short version of it is you probably made a mistake in memorization.

[@mohammadmouadi4561]

oh i figured it out, it cant be odd for edges and even for corners or vice versa, i tried the parity alg on solved cube it switched the two edges and the two corners im working on, thanks man and keep the great work

[@Yombiee]

Overview EDGE SWAP ALG --> T PERM CORNER ALG --> Y PERM WITHOUT THE FIRST AND LAST MOVE PARITY --> RA PERM Remember when you doing the parity alg the headlight is on the Left so check first

[@mehultandon851]

for the last card example, you could move 4 to home, then 2 to its home, then 6 to its home

[@TheUCuber]

JPerm! I'm picking up BLD again and in the past for corners I used the same method. Except for the fact that I'm taught to Swap A with P. It's the same but it makes more sense to me since it's basically a Y-perm without the F and F'.

[@JPerm]

+Jeroen Katgert Yup it's the same exact thing except the setup moves for each letter will be different.

[@rebdulah8001]

good analogy with the cards 👍. well made video. thanks !

[@amphibie]

Thank you I now fully understand the corner stuff and I love your RU'R'U'RUR'F'RUR'U'R'FR. For corners, I find it a good idea to uses several algorithms that swap the same edges but swap corners differently, it does not impact the memorization and it simplifies the set upmoves. I personally use Y perm a well as the RUL'U2RU'R'U2LRU'R2 (similar to yours but with another orientation), and I will now maybe use yours as well.
