Glad to see something like this out there. As an advanced solver who likes to learn new ways, it seems that all I can find is tutorials for complete beginners. It's refreshing to find a quick & dirty walkthrough that doesn't overexplain. The only thing I didn't catch was the last algorithm, so maybe put it in the description or something (I just used a different algorithm, E R' E R' E R2 E' R' E' R' E' R2, which only orients the cubes on the right side, so it took a little longer.)
It's about time someone put this way up. If I'm not mistaken, that was the first method used. My brother mail ordered the instruction manual with the steps of this method back in the late 1970's, about 2 to 3 years after the "Little Professor" hand held math game came out. It's the only way I've ever done it, cause once the top is done (-not counting that one top center piece) there are only 4 longer moves to remember: 1. placing the bottom corners 2. color matching them 3. placing the last 4 center pieces & 4..color matching them. The longest of those moves is 12 steps (-which are mostly echoes of the same motion) which flips the last 2 (sometimes 4 ) center pieces. Sometimes, if you're lucky you only need 2 of them (-color matching the bottom corners, & color matching the last 2 or 3 center pieces).
I use the current rubiks brand method which always takes around a minute. Im thinking of finding a new one. I also discovered a method by myself that consists of solving corners like a 2x2 and using a single algorithm to fix all the edge pieces.
Nice! Corners first is awesome! I use a similar method. I solve the corners using the ortega method, place the edges of one side, place the edges of the other side, then solve the midges. I am almost sub-20 with this, and I think it is possible to get some decent times. My PB single is around 16.05 I think.
Oh my gosh! Finally someone that solves it like I do! My dad taught me this method when I was 5 (1981). I have solved it that way since... I was just floored to see someone else solve it the way I do.
I am very intuitive and a fast learner on the rubik cube. From this video I learned every single step with only having to google the 2 algorithms on the last step. Thank you for this video!
I lost interest in cubing a while ago and started unsubscribing from all cube-related channels. But redkb, I couldnt unsub from you: I just love how you are so creative by coming up with solutions yourself instead of just looking it up. I believe you are a good man and you motivate me in a strange but positive manner.
Interesting. I use Roux, but I also sometimes do a corners first method, in which I solve all 8 corners first, then use my derivations from Roux to solve the last 10 edges
i was thinking that perhaps you could try out the roux method for solving. it bears many similarities with the corners first method in the sense that it creates a block on the left, solves the 4 corners on the right, then using M moves to solve both L and R side and then solving the middle layer the last :)
I'm looking for a method that does not concern about the fastest, but the least about of (algorithm/ steps per) to memorize. i love doing the cross and the corners I think i use just one algorithm for it that four-step one that you can just repeat over and over till the corner pops in the right place, . which direction do you think I should be going in
Check out brian leanza's Rubik's cube Ortega method it's the exact same thing but its a pretty bad tutorial I learnt it after watching it about a hundred times
Omg! I also developed a corner method! I haven’t heard anyone else do this other than my friend, who I first watched solved it using a corner cross method, and you. Though mine creates X pattern on all sides then I solve the edges. It’s weird, I know. I developed the corner cross method of my own when I solved the rubix cube the first time, then I created my own three layer method and used it to teach others. It’s does an average of under a minute or lower under practised hands but not me, I just like playing with all kinds of puzzles.
@LightningthunderB if you're not trying to be a speedcuber, it's ok but if you want to learn fridrich, I would recommend badmephisto's beginner's method. He uses an orient last layer and then permutate it approach that makes it easier to learn 2-look OLL and PLL and then full OLL and PLL gradually, as you can learn some cases and still use his method for the rest of them.
@moayman1 This is just an overview. It's not meant to be a tutorial. If you need algorithms or want more info, check the beginners method in the description. Good Luck!
I taught myself this same method but came up with a different algorithm for the last edges. I do this method because it enables me to solve larger cubes without parity.
cant you just use the 2x2 ortega method to quickly solve all the corners then aline the centers? then you can choose a side if there is an edge in the right place. to me that would be much faster
When I first learned about a year ago, I learned from TheSergsB video called "How to solve the 3x3 Rubik's cube (Tutorial - Learn in 15 minutes)" But now I've switched to CFOP which cut my solve times in half.
Tbh dont stress over algorithms, before i learned full oll and pll the 78 algs stressed me out, but they basically become muscle memory and i average 13s
Kenneth, please help... I got everything down except for the last step - I just try random moves until the edges are in the correct positions, but then I may have 2 or 4 upside-down and I have no idea how to fix that. Can you give a few algorithms for step 5?
I am trying to learn this. I solve the cube in about 40 seconds on average but I would like to get it consistently under 30 :) is there a full walkthrough for this or is this video enough?
dude, just like to say thanks for the great videos. youve shown me how cool these puzzles can be and i got my first 3x3x3 rubiks cube for x-mas and i finally solved it today.
42 is too many algorithms for me, so I use the Ortega method. For the corners, I mostly use Erik Akkersdijk's algorithms (from Andy Klise's guide). Incidentally, Klise also has a guide for the full CLL, and it's easier to read than the one linked in the video description.
What is the algorithm you use for the rubik's move, I've heard you refer to it in previous videos. PS: (for th rubiks move) what if the edges need to go the other way? Thanks for making awesome videos, keep up the good work! PPS: I am subscribed to both your channels, your time lapses look absolutely mind-blowing and outright astonishing. I love both your channels!
reb its me the handicap again i liked ur video on solveing the 3x3 n can u show how u doit n slow it down in another video n my fingers r not as fast n nimble as ur so can u make me up a better way to solve the 3x3x3 please
Learn the beginner's method. It takes little algorithms, so you need little nimble ability to memorize algorithms. Just search "how to solve a rubik's cube" in UA-cam and pick The Sergs B's tutorial or one you like. If you have no need to get fast, then learn any method you like.
***** the second layer is very simple just keep practicing and dont get your notation messed up. it took me about 3 watches beore i started understanding it.
the 3rd layer is a challenge but go to cubewhiz.com to get some OLL/PLL algorithms make sure you pay attention to where the yellow colors are pointing during OLL.
@42blackhawks At 3:43 there were no red edges in the middle layer. So I took the red/yellow edge out of the right layer and put it in the middle layer. Then I solved it from the middle layer to the left layer.
I watched this video then went and solved it this way no problem, thanks! I use fridrich usually but this was a fun new challenge. Instead of learning new Algs when I got to the step with 42 Algs for the corners I just used a beginner alg to position and rotate them. If I had a "parity" I just used a cuboid alg to fix it. Fun way to solve!
Hi there I had one of the original cubes in 1980 and used a corners first method. After getting the corners in the correct position you can use CF' D2 CR D' CR CF D' This will swap cubies top F with top R and bottom R with bottom L only you can solve the cube my using this Algorithm only (after getting the 8 corners) but it takes a bit of time
Looking back on this comment is so funny, even though I don't use this method, I now realize that I can just use 2x2 OLL and PLL algorithms. It's funny to think that only 5 months ago I couldn't even solve a 2x2, and now I can solve a 5x5.
Please make a tutorial so ehen tou are on the last layer you get the corner peices first... like you get the f2l then the corners first not the edge peices
This method is now my favorite. After playing with it for a bit I got my times way down without all the memorization of the Fredrick method.

2:08 I'm loving that early 80's color scheme
I average 25 seconds with CFOP and I learned this method aswell because I found it interesting.
@HeyDEDEshow I developed a blood clot from inactivity after surgery. A piece of it went to my lungs. I'm lucky to be alive!
It's about time someone put this way up.
If I'm not mistaken, that was the first method used.

I once thought CFOP stood for Corners First, OLL, PLL
lol nice pic haha
Cross
F2l=first two layers
OLL
PLL
lmao 😂
T Perm we know
what is wrong with u bud
Lol
6:18 you expect us to follow up on that?

@cityzach Rubik's brand from late 90s or early 2000s. It was bought in the USA but has the wrong color scheme.
I use the current rubiks brand method which always takes around a minute. Im thinking of finding a new one. I also discovered a method by myself that consists of solving corners like a 2x2 and using a single algorithm to fix all the edge pieces.

can u do a full toturial?
This is basically the Waterman method, so you can just look up a tutorial of that.
I am very intuitive and a fast learner on the rubik cube. From this video I learned every single step with only having to google the 2 algorithms on the last step. Thank you for this video!
I feel like Kenneth could be sub 20 easily with Roux

This is an EXCELLENT video for a video made in 2011!!

Interesting. I use Roux, but I also sometimes do a corners first method, in which I solve all 8 corners first, then use my derivations from Roux to solve the last 10 edges
What about roux? It's CF based, you would be able to use most, if not all, the algorithms you know and you can get world class speed with it.
So you basically do CLL on the three by three?
That didn't work well for me last time I tried it.
@@tobycollins9374 CMLL is roux's CLL set that ignores the M Slice
Interesting and fun approach. It has some similarities with Sandra Workman's ABCube method.

Plz write the algorithm i dont know how its work to solve the corner first i wanna try it along time ago
@sm4spidey I'd reccomend a Ghost Hand II or FII. then get a guhong when you're around 25 seconds.(It's a bit too fast for beginners.)
PLEASE ANSWER!!! What is the 3x3x3 that you use in the interactive pattern tutorial video????
what is the orange corner algorithm?
Cube Lego just look up COLL or CMLL algs they are the same in recognition just different algs I think
I taught myself this same method but came up with a different algorithm for the last edges. I do this method because it enables me to solve larger cubes without parity.
cant you just use the 2x2 ortega method to quickly solve all the corners then aline the centers? then you can choose a side if there is an edge in the right place. to me that would be much faster

this method is also the same as solving the 5x5 right? i mean the keyhole method. not the corner method.
When solving the corners, do you do ortega?

After getting the corners in the correct position you can use CF' D2 CR D' CR CF D'
This will swap cubies top F with top R and bottom R with bottom L only
you can solve the cube my using this Algorithm only (after getting the 8 corners) but it takes a bit of time
How am I supposed to solve the orange corners without messing up the red ones??!
