i do not even know how to solve a 3x3 cube, yet here I am with a 5x5 in my hands

[@marthacalzada6396]

I can teach you how to solve a skube a piramix a 2x2 a 3x3 a rubiks cylinder

[@saviosimoes8612]

Me too bruh😅

[@Challenges356]

Me too

[@ccloud3981]

I just finished my first 3x3 tonight. Took 2 full days.

[@nagameenachandramohan8552]

Same here bruh

[@kize39]

You are literally the only person I came across to actually explain the solving as a 3x3 part. Now I can solve a 5x5 much easier Thanks to you!!!

[@ericvito8895]

Thanks I was stuck on the last two edges then I watched your video and was able to solve the edges within a minute or so, then I solved the 5x5 right after. Easy to follow tutorial 🎉 thanks again🎉

[@karenedwards828]

Thank you, you legend. Solved my first 5x5 just need to remember the algorithms. 👌

[@FootballFC-ux3fq]

same

[@Eeshuworld]

U a Karen?

[@Riley-Does-EDITZ]

I was on the brink of quitting until i found your video. Thank you so much best vid ever❤

[@_daissh_]

Great!!! Looks like some really helpful tricks from what I've watched!😁😁😁😁😁

[@nicnapier]

Thanks😊👍

[@user-gq8pm3lx8h]

Really nice tutorial. Just like the 4x4 tutorial i also learned to solve my 5x5 in one day. Very well explained.

[@GeometricalParadox]

Very easy tutorial! Tells you everything you need to solve it. Tells about the parities algorithms, the flip algorithms etc. Keep it up!

[@sivakumarramasamy5646]

Thanks for the video. I am able to solve 5X5 first time. Explanation is very good. Keep rocking..

[@georgie_w771]

Thanks. After not being able to work out my let two edges I managed after this.

[@sravanisainagasreyajulakan6091]

At the last layer when the yellow is fully completed and only edge of two pieces are matching and other two faces are having fully filled edge pieces. What algorithm I have to do?

[@banuradha10]

Thank you so much, I learnt from JPerm, but your video has covered many more cases.

[@coolkyubsupreme7623]

thank you man God bless you im planning on going foe wca comp insouth africa thx and know i can participate

[@user-fv8pd6tb1i]

thanks alot for your help and I can,finally solve the 5by5. keep up the good work.

[@richb6080]

Thanks so much, the best description on the net. It broke down every parity and you took it nice and slow. Thanks

[@eqouph9111]

🎉😊

[@user-bp2xy9nw4e]

Dude I got a 5 by 5 for Christmas and I accidentally scrambled it thinking that it solve exactly like a 3 by 3 your video saved me, thank you!

[@lap5944]

I was having trouble solving the centres and this video made me solve 'em. I solved rest of the cube like how I solved the 4×4. Thanks. I found this very helpful❤️. Your voice is very soothing too.

[@reecopeaco1004]

This video actaully let me solve a 5x5 no other video has helped and skipped where I needed help thank you thankyou

[@matejjambrosic7450]

thank you for this tutorial
I watched J perm but he didn't explain a lot of things that happened to me but you did

[@darkdemon2862]

can you make a detailed tutorial on how to solve the 5 by 5 like a 3 by 3

[@Definitely_lemon]

Thank you so much it was way better than any other video i could find i learnt to solve the centres in 5 minutes

[@lunarguy1665]

thank you so much i loved the explanations it made it o much easier you helped me solve my first 5x5 thank you

[@adhvaithv773]

Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. I learnt and understood 5*5 after watching your video

[@HowToCube99]

Nic this video was EXTREMELY HELPFUL when I was learning to solve my 2 year old 5x5. I tried learning the method for layer by layer (lol) and it didn’t work, but your video was the only one that helped me learn how to solve this puzzle. Thanks!

[@Cuber101]

Your almost at 10K 🥳🥳🥳

[@ace5161]

Thanks man I am going to buy a 5x5 soon I already am a sub 7 minute beginner at the 4x4 and my pb is 1:25 minutes on a 3x3. This tutorial really helped me to understand all possible cases on the last edge pairing stage.

[@Ronihot2]

Thank you man! My SEN son is just obsessed with rubics cubes and he got stuck doing the 5 by 5. We used your video to help him.

[@azkiyarela3416]

Bro it's sun not sen
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@YTLavaFN]

Best vid ever

[@charcoalgrizzli3]

Great video, took quite a bit of concentration, nearly got confused a few times but persevered through and managed to complete my cube. Thank you!

[@leszekandhisrandomstuff.9228]

I have solved the 5x5 before. But previously, I just hoped I didn't get the parity case. If so, all I could do was mess the cube up again really good and hope for the best. Good stuff, easy to follow, and I learned things along the way besides just the parity algorithm. Incidentally, I had tried the 4x4 method and variations of it for parity. I got it to work once and never figured out how. Seeing the 5x5 version makes it clear that I was on the right track.

[@blazkom]

I'm new with all of this - but it got me thinking - why do say 2Lw for two left layers down, but there is no (2) in Rw where you also move two right layers up?

[@Gameboy-see]

Thanks for the tutorial, very helplful but please cover more 2 remaining edge cases.

[@john-ld6pp]

I’m trying my best how can you show me slowly?

[@yuxuanwang3244]

i would never be able to solve a rubiks cube without you

[@Smurshes]

Thank you for this! You explained it perfectly.
EDIT: I just noticed the dogs in the background. My dude, you ain't hosting no Texas Chainsaw Massacre shit back there, are you?

[@kevinmoseni]

Great video and awesome explanation! Very easy to follow. Quick question, though: is the algorithm written on the screen at 13:08 a typo? For the third to last move you say "Turn the write two layers up" but what is written is Rw. I think it should be 2Rw.

[@nicnapier]

Rw and 2rw are the same move. They usually are used interchangeably.

[@kevinmoseni]

@@nicnapier Oh good to know. Thanks!

[@AzraJ]

@@nicnapier in the beginning you said something about needing to know how to solve another cube before the 5x5. I thought you said 3x3 but then you said 4x4 also, which confused me. I only know how to solve a 3x3 pretty well so is it okay if I don’t have/know the techniques for a 4x4?

[@nicnapier]

@@AzraJ it’s perfectly fine if you haven’t solved a 4x4 before, i said that because it’s pretty similar to solving a 5x5. Hope I could help

[@AzraJ]

@@nicnapier thanks you soo much for replying!

[@kirinrex]

Thank you so much! On my own, I was able to get all but the final corners ... but at that point, every other tutorial and video just says "Okay! Now just solve it like a 3x3!" And I honestly tried that, but for some reason, it wasn't working for me, and I couldn't find a place that would explain what "solve it like a 3x3" meant. You explained it really well, thanks to your explanation, I was finally able to visualize the 5x5 as a 3x3 cube, and then it was eary. Great explanation! Thank you so much!

[@jomastermind4540]

I’m not able to solve the red side

[@MostChillRobloxian]

I know how to do the 3x3 and that helped me with all the centers sooooooo much

[@Kiru-r2t]

Can you make a pyramid how 2 solve

[@TheNhacphat]

Thank you so much! I was stuck om the edges, this helped me so much👍🏼

[@MrJMitchell2195]

Cheers bro, great video

[@timaalamoudy1741]

Thank you so much.The video was so great and helped me solve my 5 by 5 for the first time.Good luck in all your videos

[@legend-oj8257]

i am having trouble in making the other bars after the 1st one
plz help
BTW great tutorial!

[@akshitmaheshwari8112]

You are legally a master

[@user-ll9vy5rp6e]

Can u state possibilities for the orange and green centerpieces and walk through them

[@jurgieverzola5588]

Thank you so much!!
I love the part where you give solutions to all possible scramble in the last 2 edges unlike other tutorials I've watched
Love your content and your the best at explaining dude💙💙

[@EGGKing128]

I don't ha
he a 5x5, I will get a 5x5 soon, and this video was so helpful, thank you hyper cube for also showing me how to solve a 4x4 I love Rubik's cubes!

[@EGGKing128]

I meant have

[@sidneythirston9044]

OMG!!! Dude thank you so so so so much for this and you did the parity i needed slow that was what your boy needed big ups and thank you Joe!!! 👈🏼

[@nicnapier]

No problem 😂👍

[@Ghazan_MonkeyKingLuffy]

after watching gear5 now im here to learn a 5x5x5 cube just learned the centers now on to the edges

[@MuffinzVR]

18:21 It's okay the dogs barking lol I have neighbors and their dogs always bark! I even thought the dogs barking in your video were my neighbors lol!

[@chaitusun]

Really appreciate your video. I finally managed to solve a 5x5 by following your guide🤘

[@kylewilliamson912]

Thank you so much I’ve hade this cube for like a year and I watched your video and solved it ❤

[@howieju]

Why hasn’t anyone mentioned how the communtator’s algorithm is written wrong? It should be 2Rw (not Rw),

[@behzadzahin7780]

You're amazing I just learned it in 1 hour 😅❤

[@OutDoorJesse13]

Thanks dude love it

[@RobinsPunnakala]

Perfect tutorial

[@yassermek7926]

What about the last green one .how did you transforme it to the orange face🙏🙏🙏

[@garrettclayton9758]

this was a really good tutorial it helped me solve really quick

[@zackpromarrack7798]

this was very helpful thank you for making this video❤❤

[@smartcuber8356]

What is your average timing on 5by5 4by4 2by2 3by3 6by6

[@tiawaters3792]

I'm so happy that you are making more videos more often!!!

[@tex_479]

thank you very much :)
this was very helpful

[@matthewjeffery6481]

I can build the first centre but then how do you build the second without messing the first one up?

[@solvednscrambled5258]

Amazing tutorial and very well explained

[@umanagalingam2822]

Thanks I solved 5x5 with your help thank you

[@AliFrost-h2d]

If any algorithm for corners after cross and easy like your way ,that will be perfect thank you

[@michaelgrafanakis8291]

Perfect video!! congatulation !!

[@arunijayathilake6872]

Thank you so so much bro you are the best

[@krukkrukinamerzzzzz604]

Atthe last part,
Lw
Does it really goes downward left side? Shouldn't it be Upward?

[@mmmmmmm2753]

I watched other videos and I didn’t understand but with your videos I always understand ❤

[@Shift88_]

After I solve a 5x5 I touch a 3x3 and im like, woah is this a 1x1?

[@MuffinzVR]

Thank you for being the only one to explain slowly and not crazy fast like other people! Thank you so much!

[@Solms007-X]

You explain it so good thanks

[@gayleyurko2332]

Thx so much for your help but I still need to know how to solve the corners.

[@yuxuanwang3244]

You are op when I don’t get any other cubers I come to your video and the 4*4ans 5*5i haveearnt from you I have learn 3*3 only with kappil bhat

[@MatoBRS]

A bit stuck on the orange and green, the bottom right corner of each core, is the color of the opposite, my green core has an orange corner and my orange core has a green corner how do i fix this

[@anvilunia7155]

You can rotate the surface such that the interchanged corners are on the top right instead
Then you can follow the commutator algorithm mentioned in the video

[@meme_king_is_here]

Cube legend is you bro! From 2024!!

[@Based_Hay_Patriot]

Bro thanks a lot ☺️

[@liutuke]

Thank you! We succeeded!

[@sanjay.v.v8337]

Thanks bro this video is very helpful

[@JordanFonseca_]

How do I get the third bar on the blue side?

[@unknownuser_0073]

thanks really helped

[@ibrahimdiiriye5248]

thank you dude I just solved my 5 x 5 with your tutorial

[@abdulnoor2830]

Thanks a lot for your video it a lot to me and solve my first 5by5 cube

[@abdulnoor2830]

Well explanation

[@Eeshuworld]

I never tested a 5x5 and as a speedcuber I’ve decided to become a 5x5 speed cuber

[@user-sv9cm2kv4p]

Need help please. Getting a set up you haven't shown so think I've done a wrong flip somewhere?

[@Lakshimali]

i dont get the edge parts dont you have to store all of the white edges instead of three?

[@BeatricePrior-ct4hu]

How do you do the yellow edges without messing up the white ones?

[@HighonHomeGrown]

i keep getting cases in the last two edges that you dont show on this video, it is very frustrating! I have solved the cube a few times with the help of this video, but i feel like there is much more to cover to give a full guide

[@aischatikowsky6244]

Yes! I'm having the same problem. On the last two edges I have the two under ones with the right colour but the top ones switched! What should I do?

[@live_emotionless_6363]

I was stuck on the last 4 edges (the off- white and off-yellow ones.) Thank you Nic

[@user-zs1xh2op3p]

Thank you!

[@rachitvellanki5652]

Pls say me which you cube

[@guitarpro882]

Which you cube

[@frogfeatherbdamned]

At 19.22 u say that the 4 white edges are solved but they aren't... I'm stuck trying not to destroy my 4 white edges to move onto the yellow

[@x1n00bie]

I’m so happy that you actually put a 3x3 next to it at the end for demonstration because I watched like 7 others and at the end they just said “and now you can solve it like a 3x3” and I confused me but I was able to solve mine so thank you❤️

[@cc_435]

Same here I was like whattt????

[@Guythatlikesgames123]

I had this Rubik’s cube (from the brand Rubik’s)
It turns bad and I can’t solve and just wanted my room to look better
So this will help :)

[@Hockey_guy_17]

I can't solve the 5 by 5, you haven't showned the case where there are only two pieces left and you have to switch them horizontally and now I am stuck on that so thank you very much

[@nogeekone]

What cube are you using

[@robinsonbrz]

Thanks! I've solved with your tutorial!

[@DragonZen1]

I solved it bc of u thanks SOOOOO much

[@Nithyakannan2982]

What if for the blue side center, you dont get a bar?
