I just want to say, as a speedcuber, this is more impressive than what we do. I dont think most speedcubers know what commutators are (speedcubers are more interested in learning tons of algorithms than figuring out why algorithms work). But you actually discovered commutators yourself. Just brilliant.
I have seen many videos on how to solve the cube, but none without the use of algorithms. What a refreshing approach. Thanks for sharing it with us Tony. I'm going to try it.
Tony Fisher Wow I didn’t realize that it would be as easy as it is, I’ve been able to figure out my own F2L cases for CFOP, and center flips, and I wish I could go back and figure it out intuitively. I did solve a 4x4x4 intuitively, by solving the centers and then pairing the edges and then solving like a 3x3x3. I plan on solving all other puzzles I get intuitively before looking up a tutorial, for the 4x4 I looked up the Yau method but never actually learned how to do it, just the general steps to take. What is a puzzle that I can solve intuitively? All I know is 3x3 cube
Tony Fisher I noticed that when I was solving my 3x3 intuitively was I accidentally made a sune type algorithms, I noticed you did too. You accidentally made the J Perm by switching those corners
I think it's natural that the same moves will be discovered. When I made the double edge flip I first flipped one edge in as few moves that I could so I doubt the whole sequence could be improved (I haven't checked how speedcubers do it though). There's no reason that you can't solve all puzzles, it's just about desire to do so. A nice one though that doesn't require writing down moves is the Pentacle Cube.
wow this is a very intuitive way I like it, managed to solve the cube after seeing this walkthrough twice (although I know CFOP). Very nice method, did it seriously just take 3 days to make it up? Impressive.
+Henrik Rónai I could already do one face from borrowing friends cubes. It then took (a very obsessed) 3 days from when I purchased my own to complete it for the first time. I needed some luck though and it wasn't until 2 or 3 weeks later that I had moves for every situation.
+Tony Fisher impressive nonetheless :) Unfortunately I learned it with a tutorial. I could solve 1 layer but I thought it'd be several months to figure the rest out for myself.
Hello Tony. I've waited awhile to message you, but I absolutely love your videos and the puzzles you have created, it is absolutely brilliant! I just wanted to thank you for this video specifically. I feel the same way that you do about finding your own solutions to puzzles too. I feel that too many people are relying on the Internet for the answers instead of finding them for their selfs. It's unfortunate that intuitive puzzle solving has become something of the past, it has become a lost art so to speak. I got my first Rubik's cube when I was 12 years old back in 1992, and I've been passionately hooked ever since. I myself have also found a solution to the puzzle as well, with no help at all. It took me years to find it, but I am certainly glad I did. Ha ha. Watching this video over and over again has been a breath of fresh air, mainly because I can very much relate to your story of solving the cube. Once again, thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Great video! Finally found someone else that actually SOLVED it. It took me about 3 weeks though. I solved it in a completely different way though. I started by solving the corners, then two opposite sides.
Wow that's really cool. Also you must have been one of the fastest in the 80's, with a time of 29. But it's really cool that you're doing it almost entirely intuitively, I kinda feel cheap now for using algorithms.
Guys try creating OLLs or PLLs. Whichever you don’t know, the feeling of accomplishment is nice I JUST MADE UP MY OWN DOT OLL but it’s not very fast BUT IM WORKING ON IT I just solved the cube except for top corners with my algorithms! I made them today!
I started doing that earlier this year, and now I've got 42 single step algs to solve the last layer with only R and U moves. It does take some luck or prep in order to pre-permute the corners and orient the edges, but I do that intuitively during the last f2l insertions so I don't count those. Great project for sure! Making your own algs is really rewarding! Especially when your times improve after you start using them. I think it also builds on your understanding of how pieces move and gives you a better sense of prediction where they will be when you need to look for them.
Hands down greatest way to solve a cube I have ever seen. It's logical, and that is very easy to understand than all those crazy letters they use in the "beginners method." I am going to try this when I find my rubicks cube.
OMG. In 1997 I got my first cube and I used this exact logic, the only problem for me is when i got all the way up to the last two on top I was to afraid to do anything in order not to lose what I have done. Three years ago I finnaly decided to risk it, and solved it. And after that I switched to megaminx, and that one is just pure logic, it solves by it self. Thank you for this video. It is an inspiration to us, slowcubers.
Wow! I kept finding for a great solution to complete the rubix cube FAST enough and I found yr vid! So amazing! My time improved from 1min 6 secs to around 30 secs! So amazing. And what great logic u have there.
You figured out the sune algorithm by yourself to orient corners! Amazing! It's great to know about the old cubing times. Altough I learned to solve it watching videos now that I understand more the cube I like to solve new cubes by myself. Sorry for the bad english, Its not my native language.
In this age of information when any kid can buy a cube and hop right online and start learning algorithms, it's far more impressive to encounter folks from the old days when readymade solutions weren't so easy to come by. In those early years you could either figure it out or you were stuck re-stickering the whole thing. I never got a chance to own one of my own growing up as a kid in the 80's but occasionally I'd come across one at a friend or relative's house. I was always fascinated by it and could usually fenagle my way to solving one layer like most everybody else. Decades later in 2008, I finally got myself a cube and was initially determined to solve it without help. After getting that first layer it seemed natural to try putting the edges of the 2nd layer in and it took me a few days to figure out an algorithm to do that (to move FD clockwise to FL it goes: R b2 U F U' b2' R' - and I just do the mirror to move FD counter clockwise to FR). SO simple once I worked it out but initially I felt like I'd figured out calculus or something 😄 Anyway, the 3rd layer really stumped me and long story short, after struggling with it for a few weeks I finally gave in and looked up a solution. To this day I kick myself for not being more determined to solve it completely without so much as a hint. So I generally approach each new puzzle I get that way. Skewb, skewb extreme, skewb ultimate, pyraminx, and most recently square-1, I solved entirely unaided except for parity on square-1. And even then, I feel like I should've fought harder to figure parity out myself. I feel like I tried everything I could think of but I just kept ending up back in the same place and it was driving me insane 😤
This is really cool, when I first learned how to solve a cube years ago I also was using some of the algorithms you discovered. It's really awesome to actually find out who and where they come from and the logic and the story behind them (: Thanks for making this video, it was very enjoyable to watch :D
+Dave Rabbit Thanks but none of them will have come from me since I never really showed them. Anyone who devises their own solution is likely to find some of the same moves, like the double edge flip for example. A few of those people will have written books or shared their methods.
Thanks for explaining your method. I first learned to solve a 3x3 in the late 90s or early 00s, following the instructions that came with the Rubik's brand cubes at that time, and got back into it again recently, learning CFOP method which is a refinement of the method that I'd first learned, and then moving on to learn Roux method just a few weeks ago, which I found to be much more fun and intuitive when compared with the algorithm-heavy CFOP method. Watching your explanation here, I see a lot of similarity with the Roux method. In both Roux and your method, once you've got all the corners sorted out, it's just a matter of getting the remaining edges into place using Upper layer and Middle slice moves.
Nice job figuring this out yourself, and your thinking was very logical! I already knew around 7 different methods to solve a Rubik's Cube (not out the top of my head though..), but this one I hadn't seen before. It does have some similarities with some other methods, but also some uniqueness, so thanks for showing it. Maybe some of these algorithms / thinking steps might come in handy when solving Bandaged 3x3x3s with the CT bandaged 3x3x3 kit. Either way, you inspired me to more thoughtfully try to figure out my own solutions for the next few puzzles I've ordered, before looking at a solution. I did manage to solve some puzzles I recently added to my collection with my own unique solution, but with most puzzles I quite quickly give up and look up solutions from other people. I then mix all those solution up with some algorithms from person 1 and some from person 2, etc. and then change a few algorithms to easier variants, until I have one solution that suits me.
Hi! First i would like to say thanks for the great video you put out there. I know there is a lot of work involved to make them, and getting the people to see what you do for them is, i'm sure, greatly appreciated. Hoping to see more and please keep up the good work. For my self, I only started cubing about 2 months ago, I was challenged by my 2 daughters when we saw a Rubik's cube at Walmart, they asked me if I could do it, and I just laughed, and told them that those things were impossible to solve. Well... here i am now, at 41 years old, and discovered a world that i had no clue existed. I started a small collection, and hoping to stick to it because I really enjoy this pass-time/game/puzzle/ ect... This being said keep up the good work and...... KEEP ON CUBING!!! Eric Pelletier Edmonton,Alberta, CANADA
Thank you! That's a really cool approach. Speedcubing turns a human into a machine which uses a set of algorithms. But intuitive solving helps a human remain a human with his specific thinking abilities comparing to machines. :)
That's sort of the way I figured it out as well, I would do a move, right down the step, and see what it did, then if it did anything useful, I would keep doing it to what else it could do, if it doesn't I did not want it to do, I would reverse the order. Later on I found out that I was doing commutators and conjugates thanks to RedKB's videos about Cube Theory and such. I don't remember how I did the 2 edges flipped, I think I just undo the face and tried again until I got where I wanted, or just orientate the edges and then the corners, something like that.
._. You're a genius! Thanks for sharing us your method, I've waited for this many months, great video and nice method! You're always surprising us! I'll try it, thanks
how do you do the yellow side. i know how to solve one but i want to learn how you did it. i heard you say you put it in the bottom row?? is that what you did??
around 6:02 you said to put it at the bottom. but orange only has 1 edge open. so do you mean to do a M2 to put them at the bottom of that color?? if so, them what??
At that stage I'm holding it at a different angle. I put the orange & gold and orange & yellow edges opposite each other on the (current) bottom and then put them both into place. I then put the row of 3 reds back to the red side and the 2 orange edges are now in place with the restored orange corners.
I've come up with a 2 edge flip two, but it was after I already knew how to solve it (I was trying to do a superflip withou solving the cube in a superflip position and without looking the algorithm on the internet), my way has the same comutator idea, but I fliped one of the edges on a worst way.
Very good video, Tony !!! I'm glad you shared your way to solving the Rubik's cube. Amazing !!! You would be inspired when I commented on your other video :D
And here I am watching this while practicing my F2L… Nice method. I'll add it as one of the other 5 methods I can solve with. Yay! I should probably learn Triangular Francisco.
SoCalCubing About 15. It's really not about being smart it's just a desire to do it. Several of my school mates solved it on their own and some were pretty dim. The whole approach to puzzles was very different back then. I love watching speedcubers but thousands of them have missed out on some thing very satisfying. If I had never solved the cube by myself there's a good chance I would have given up on puzzles altogether.
Tony this is so cool and actually i made a very very similar method. For the last part i came up with a different approach tho and for the top layer i also have a different approach for that too. P.S. Im only 11 years old
Tony, TheMaoiSha Send this video to the uploader of your cube recommends them all and you really going to buy the has a great view of the cube this is very good !!
this actually closely resembles Jeffery Varasano's method, and he held the record for a year back in the early 80s. I think I can take a couple of those sequences you used to make my own cubing faster
Discovered the move, you said by writting it down? Though in the end you did what ypu were/are to solve the puzzle ....intuitive though thats how everyone who could solve it back then did it initially.
Well you try some moves as stated, write them down and see what they do. If they do something worth while memorise them. Some of it is intuitive but mostly trial and error.
If those gold stickers are supposed to be white (saying as gold is opposite yellow) then your cube doesn't have the right color scheme.(or the traditional scheme.)
wow I was just messing around with the cube and basically just invented a more efficient version of this. I average 13 with CFOP but with the method I made I still avg sub-30
I'm actually trying to solve a Rubik's cube on my own without a solution. But I haven't been writing down anything. I haven't gotten to the point where I've solved the entire cube, but I did solve two faces once.
+Richard Eastabrook Ever heard of intuitive solving? My method has a small number of algorithms that I worked out by myself. A lot of it however is not algorithms and will vary every time I do a solve.
Hi Tony I got my first cube when they first came out and worked out my own system. Did not know about algorithms then and still do not know much. I just assume it is a name for a process, I get the 8 corners into place first. the 2x2x2 now makes it easy to learn this then I switch 2 edge cubies on the top with 2 edge cubies on the bottom with the following ALGORITHM ? CFv D2 CRv D-1 CRup1 CFup1 D-1 then by orienting the cube in different places complete the cube I think you will be able to follow my system and would be interested to know what you think of it I also do the 4x4x4 in the same way after getting the edge cubies paired off but sometimes....frequently get parity errors at the end Your truly JIm
I just want to say, as a speedcuber, this is more impressive than what we do. I dont think most speedcubers know what commutators are (speedcubers are more interested in learning tons of algorithms than figuring out why algorithms work). But you actually discovered commutators yourself. Just brilliant.
Tony, your method might be slow but i think it is more impressive that you made your own method than you solving it fast. So good job!💯👍
I have seen many videos on how to solve the cube, but none without the use of algorithms. What a refreshing approach. Thanks for sharing it with us Tony. I'm going to try it.
MrFt38 I do some use algorithms. It's just that I have made them up myself. Edge flips, bottom corner positioning and orientation all use them.
Tony Fisher wow
You put me in a amze situacion
I didnt know how. Easy it was
Thanks
Tony Fisher Wow I didn’t realize that it would be as easy as it is, I’ve been able to figure out my own F2L cases for CFOP, and center flips, and I wish I could go back and figure it out intuitively.

I wish I could forget everything about Rubik's cubes and try to figure it out by myself
I wish I could forget everything about Harry Potter that is in Chapter 24 of The Goblet of Fire on because I would have no spoilers.
Just leave the Rubik’s cube for a very long time, you will forget all the algorithms.
@@SG2048-meta Nah man muscle memory got your back
@@huzzzer6083 I can see your point, once I didn’t solve the cube for a long time and only forgot 1 algorithm, so I think it’s not possible.
Very impressive yet easy to follow along, that 2nd layer edge solving technique is genius
It is so much more impressing doing it the way you learned your self than solving it fast! Great job!
Hello Tony. I've waited awhile to message you, but I absolutely love your videos and the puzzles you have created, it is absolutely brilliant! I just wanted to thank you for this video specifically.

MrJamhamm And that time was without any inspection. I think my best mean (not the 3 from 5 WCA average) of 5 was about 42.
I love this method!! Working out your own way of solving definitely helps you understand the cube a lot better than if you just memorised algorithms.
Guys try creating OLLs or PLLs. Whichever you don’t know, the feeling of accomplishment is nice
I JUST MADE UP MY OWN DOT OLL but it’s not very fast BUT IM WORKING ON IT
I just solved the cube except for top corners with my algorithms! I made them today!

I think it also builds on your understanding of how pieces move and gives you a better sense of prediction where they will be when you need to look for them.
Great.
Few people now know the pleasure of working up a solution by themselves.
This method I love.
Hands down greatest way to solve a cube I have ever seen. It's logical, and that is very easy to understand than all those crazy letters they use in the "beginners method." I am going to try this when I find my rubicks cube.
That’s called notation and it’s logical.
OMG. In 1997 I got my first cube and I used this exact logic, the only problem for me is when i got all the way up to the last two on top I was to afraid to do anything in order not to lose what I have done. Three years ago I finnaly decided to risk it, and solved it. And after that I switched to megaminx, and that one is just pure logic, it solves by it self. Thank you for this video. It is an inspiration to us, slowcubers.
thats a lie because a cube cant have only 2 pieces out of place it must have 3 out of place
sTw Aqua??? He just show you in video that two are offset. Is this what they call spam trolling?
+Aunnas Saeed No it's not. There's no parity on a regular Rubik's Cube.
+sTw Aqua She didn't say they were out of place, did she?
ohh ok i see :)
Wow! I kept finding for a great solution to complete the rubix cube FAST enough and I found yr vid! So amazing! My time improved from 1min 6 secs to around 30 secs! So amazing. And what great logic u have there.

Sorry for the bad english, Its not my native language.
In this age of information when any kid can buy a cube and hop right online and start learning algorithms, it's far more impressive to encounter folks from the old days when readymade solutions weren't so easy to come by. In those early years you could either figure it out or you were stuck re-stickering the whole thing.
I never got a chance to own one of my own growing up as a kid in the 80's but occasionally I'd come across one at a friend or relative's house. I was always fascinated by it and could usually fenagle my way to solving one layer like most everybody else.

Those other 4 corners are a massive step up in difficulty to solve.
Still enjoy coming back to watch this. Thanks for sharing. Amazing how u figured ur solution out.
4:02 im pretty sure thats the sune alg

Pretty awesome solution!
Classy!
That's cool! And the cube is a fangshi shuangren you can hear the scratchy feel and see the indents in the prices when you turn it
very pleasing to watch your logic in how you solved the cube
i appreciate this, I'm a speed cuber and average 14 seconds nice job :)
Thank you! That's a really cool approach. Speedcubing turns a human into a machine which uses a set of algorithms. But intuitive solving helps a human remain a human with his specific thinking abilities comparing to machines. :)
I actually really like the look of the gold stickers on the white cube. imma try that and see how it looks
What a genius. I wouldnt make ot without tutorials...
That's sort of the way I figured it out as well, I would do a move, right down the step, and see what it did, then if it did anything useful, I would keep doing it to what else it could do, if it doesn't I did not want it to do, I would reverse the order.

wth u are so brilliant and underrated....
how do you do the yellow side. i know how to solve one but i want to learn how you did it. i heard you say you put it in the bottom row?? is that what you did??
Orange is at the bottom. The video shows how I worked out my solution so I don't know what else I can tell you.
around 6:02 you said to put it at the bottom. but orange only has 1 edge open. so do you mean to do a M2 to put them at the bottom of that color?? if so, them what??

My brother used this method. I used CFOP, he used Tony's Method.
What do you say at 4:30?
I've come up with a 2 edge flip two, but it was after I already knew how to solve it (I was trying to do a superflip withou solving the cube in a superflip position and without looking the algorithm on the internet), my way has the same comutator idea, but I fliped one of the edges on a worst way.
Very good video, Tony !!! I'm glad you shared your way to solving the Rubik's cube. Amazing !!!
You would be inspired when I commented on your other video :D
Hola Xole! Estás en muchos canales xD
Me gusta comentar y dar mi opinion :)
wow, you talked sooo much in this video! you were really comfortable talking and I enjoyed it!
Amazing- very insightful,thanks for the vid
Respect Tony!
is that gold custom? It looks nice!
Wow Tony you are a genius :O
Vey nice video!!
I will use the inspiration
And here I am watching this while practicing my F2L… Nice method. I'll add it as one of the other 5 methods I can solve with. Yay! I should probably learn Triangular Francisco.
Do you know ZZ method, it's pretty intersting
I know it, yes. However, EOLine is probably what prevents me from using its 3-gen sexiness.
Erik
I only have 3
1. Beginner’s
2. CFOP
3. This weird method where in F2L you don’t care about the corners.
Everything and anything, There's nothing weird about it at all. And why are you talking about F2L? Did you even watch?
Tony Fisher
Not this method, a different one. Similar to CFOP.
wow we do the same trick back 35 years ago , i thought only me do that for long time.
it was genius, can't wait to try it myself
When you say a side, do you mean a side or a layer?
TheRandomno I mean side. If you prefer the term layer that's up to you.
In that case I prefer the term layer.
This method of solving the Rubik's Cube is actually a little more clever than you may realize. :)
how old were you when you discovered this. Must have been a smart kid. great vid.
SoCalCubing About 15. It's really not about being smart it's just a desire to do it. Several of my school mates solved it on their own and some were pretty dim. The whole approach to puzzles was very different back then. I love watching speedcubers but thousands of them have missed out on some thing very satisfying. If I had never solved the cube by myself there's a good chance I would have given up on puzzles altogether.
Tony this is so cool and actually i made a very very similar method. For the last part i came up with a different approach tho and for the top layer i also have a different approach for that too.
P.S. Im only 11 years old
Master Gamer1234 now 13 ? 😂😂
Tony, TheMaoiSha Send this video to the uploader of your cube recommends them all and you really going to buy the has a great view of the cube this is very good !!
Cierto.
this actually closely resembles Jeffery Varasano's method, and he held the record for a year back in the early 80s. I think I can take a couple of those sequences you used to make my own cubing faster
Tony having a CUBER from the times when u had to use brains is helpful
I used this information to solve a pyraminx without looking up any tutorial :D
Ah, cool. I've been wondering about this for literally years.
Admirable.
In 3:40 you show how you invented the "sune" move.
Pure brilliance
Discovered the move, you said by writting it down? Though in the end you did what ypu were/are to solve the puzzle ....intuitive though thats how everyone who could solve it back then did it initially.
Well you try some moves as stated, write them down and see what they do. If they do something worth while memorise them. Some of it is intuitive but mostly trial and error.
Tony Fisher so in this defination as you put it for intuitively is documenting n memorizing..?
Yes but your English is not perfect so I am struggling a bit with your comments.
3 days is amazing when I first got my cube it took me 3 or 4 weeks to figure out my own way of doing it
Omg you are so smart man i only figured out 2 layers and for the ramaining layer i had to use youtube
And im sorry for my engles i am dutch
Reminds me to the Watermann Method
So genius! Hahaha I like hpw you solve a puzzle in your original method well, thats how a puzzle function as you say. Haha
7:41 ?
bugoobiga commutator
bugoobiga a chckch commutator
Wow he's pretty smart!!!
you are genius ;)
this gives me asmr
If those gold stickers are supposed to be white (saying as gold is opposite yellow) then your cube doesn't have the right color scheme.(or the traditional scheme.)
+Username Any colour scheme is the right one.
+Tony Fisher amen
+Tony Fisher Well played
That IS a commutator that you are using for your last move.
wow I was just messing around with the cube and basically just invented a more efficient version of this. I average 13 with CFOP but with the method I made I still avg sub-30
wow this guy is very smart
that was cool
V impressive
Insightful :D
Solving a 3x3 using beginner's method isn't too smart, but creating your own method is.
Tony Fisher is Smart, You are not :D
Nice
Me : Vegeta What is his iq lvl ?
Vegeta: It's over 9000
fresh dude
I actually never thought about that, I only used algorithms from internet.
And yes, I am young.
i think its sounds like a shuangren
+typeman5 duh.. it is a ShuangRen
I'm actually trying to solve a Rubik's cube on my own without a solution. But I haven't been writing down anything. I haven't gotten to the point where I've solved the entire cube, but I did solve two faces once.
The jump from solving a few sides to solving the whole thing is enormous.
dang, it's almost as if your'e Einstein in disguise
damn how old r u now?
Just by hearing you explain, I find myself secretly smiling at your genius thinking and ideology. You are one hell of a high IQ guy.
The cube is a fangshi shuang ren.
that method does have an algorithman algorithm is a sequencehe is just remembering his sequences and repeating them
+Richard Eastabrook Ever heard of intuitive solving? My method has a small number of algorithms that I worked out by myself. A lot of it however is not algorithms and will vary every time I do a solve.
Hi Tony
I got my first cube when they first came out
and worked out my own system.
Did not know about algorithms then and still
do not know much. I just assume it is a name for a process,
I get the 8 corners into place first.
the 2x2x2 now makes it easy to learn this
then I switch 2 edge cubies on the top with 2 edge cubies on the bottom
with the following ALGORITHM ?
CFv D2 CRv D-1 CRup1 CFup1 D-1
then by orienting the cube in different places complete the cube
I think you will be able to follow my system
and would be interested to know what you think of it
I also do the 4x4x4 in the same way after getting the edge cubies paired off
but sometimes....frequently get parity errors at the end
Your truly
JIm
wowww
pretty similar to Roux
Well my friend might of looked at your channel, but he solves a side, than the top side, then solves the middle
That doesn't mean it's the same method. Same method means same moves. There are loads of different methods where the middle is done last.
The only stupid thing about the method, is that you think it's dumb:) I saw 2 algorithms in there, that are used by CFOP solvers, today
