I started doing the cube in 1981 when I was in the military for 2 years in South Africa. I read about various ways to solve it and worked out my own way. Its like riding a bicycle and you never forget especially since you spend days and months solving it and playing with the cube. I had my cube with me 24/7. Up to this day I sometimes notice unsolved cubes anywhere I go and then I solve them and many people admit they never seen it being solved. It never gets old.
I started cubing last November 1, 2022. I average 15-18 secs now. This vid reminds me of my struggles and am actually glad to see how far I've come. It's hard when you solve one for the first time but it's actually really easy because you just learn like 5 algorithms. For the non cubers out there, no.. we dont calculate and do it intuitively, there are specific algorithms needed to perform in order to solve pieces Edit: As of July 2023, Im now averaging 11- 13 secs, im not consistent at it, sometimes i get more than 15 secs Edit: Sept 2023, I got 9.83 PB Edit: Feb 2024, I am purely 11-13s consistent (I took 2 months of break)
@@nedlohuwu only applies for the beginner f2l. It's pretty intuitive in its own way. What I meant by solving it intuitively is like how non cubers see cubers solve one. It seems like it's based on "calculations" and instinct
When I first started learning how to solve a 3x3 it took me 3 weeks, and then to get it faster took me another few weeks. Awesome that you can get it in under one minute in only 5 days, with such dedication!
This is actually one of the most helpful tutorials because it overviews the whole process. For me as a beginner i get bogged down with over focusing on each step and need to zoom out and this video allows for that.
You guys are really impressive to do this so fast. I remember spending weeks messing around with the cube when I was a kid. I was lucky to have a few friends show me a little bit to get started. But they only knew how to solve one top color. I figured out how to solve more of it on my own, maybe a little more than 1/2 way. If the thing hadn't dissapeared on me, I might have learned to solve the whole cube.
It's quite similar to me, my record for solving a 3X3 Rubik's is 20 seconds but I am ignoring a recipe list to focus on studying. If I resolve a Rubik's once more I will solve it relatively in 5 minutes because of that.
Love the variation in content! Been watching all your videos and they never fail to disappoint ! Makes me want to learn how to solve one since I never got to and gave up years ago when I tried to lol.
My memory is OP after just 1 solve I memorized all the algorithms. To be fair however, I did watch the video twice and forgot the order plus rewatching and pausing individual steps during the first solve.
When I started cubing (a year ago) I spend like 3 days spending 3 hours to learn how to solve a cube and started off by solving in like 2 minutes or something, now I can do 25 second solves! Keep on doing what you enjoy and I believe you will surely become a master!
Here is some tips 1. Know the algorithms and do it again and again so u will get faster at it 2. U can learn the advance one. U can watch the vid at j perm 3. Just practice everyday
Another cuber yay, usually when extracting cubing we learn the beginners method to more advanced solves. Than we start diving into beginer cfop (cross, f2l kr first 2 layers, orientation of the last layer, and the permutation of the last layer), instead and than after mastering the beginer cfop dive into the more advanced method by memorise all 57 oll algorithms, and 21 pll algorithms for every case you could get (making a total of 78 algorithms). I myself am not the best cubes and average around 31 seconds, while there are some speed cube who average 5-8 seconds. While the official world record is 3.47 seconds set by Yusheng Du. However there are covers who have gotten faster solves than this (one being Max Park, and various other famously known speed cubers) it is not recognized official unless its at a official rubiks cube competition (so we refer to them as PB's personal best, and PR's personal record, which the only difference is a PR is an official record, however some people look at this as the same thing which is ok in any situation). The rubik's cube itself is not hard to learn by itself, just learn the beginer method and your set, however if you want to gwt faster that's the hard part. And all it takes is practice, memorising the algorithm and pattern to use the algorithm, and muscle memory where just by looking at the cube you can tell you hands what to do without thinking of the exact algorithm because you've done it so much you just know how to do it. Than of course finger tricks help increase your speed at solving the cube significantly. It should also be noted that there is a rubik language to view algorithms we call rubik rotations where each error letter represents a motion of the cube. It's really not to hard to learn (if you can play an instrument the concept is basically the exact same as cubing). Than speed cubes have developed a more advanced methods they like to use to solve the cube such as look ahead. Please if you want to start speed cubing I recommend buying a speed cube instead of a rubiks brand, it's entire design is to improve your speed, and it's alot more easier to move, they come from non-magnetic to magnetic, stickerless to stickered (i recommend a stickerless cube that way the stickers won't peel off after long periods of use), than we get into the more expensive cube such as the Gan cubes which are essentially the IPhone version of a rubik's cube, defiantly top market and expensive and each year they make a new cube which may or may not be better than the last but like iPhone we all have preferences, the newest Gan is the Gan 13 MaglevFX (if you have no idea what I just said that ok) Maglev means magnetic levitation because the core of the cube is built on it along with the pieces to improve turning skills, the FX are fixed magnetics because the Gan 13 Maglev (last years cube) was how you would say way to fast and not very stable for the average cuber. But than again it's all about preference and what you like when cubing, those cubes can cost to $80 or more depending on the quality, however there are cheaper cubes out there that are just as good and even better depending on you and how you use the cube (like from harry potter with wands, there's a wand for each wizard not all of them might be right for thr right wizard but one that fits you). I hoped this brief into into 3 by 3 cubing helped anyone who is scrolling in the comment sections. It's really not that complicated however it does get more advanced the deeper you go in and the better you'll understand it.
This is so relatable 😂😂 When I taught my brother on how to solve a rubiks cube using begginers method, it was so stressful because whenever my brother makes a wrong turn I keep shouting😂😂 but then a few days later he mastered it and had a time of 3 minutes. He did so many solves just to get that time 🎉
I learn led how to solve a runic cube 4 days ago and it’s the beginner method I watched it from UA-cam and the channel I watched it from made it super easy for me even tho I messed up and I can do it without any help now
Actually the difficulty of learning to solve depends in the method you try to learn or were taught i learned and was taught cubing using an easier method so i learned it in 30 minutes then tried switching to more difficult but faster methods which worked out better because it downed my time from around 1 minute to 30-45 seconds
Honestly, I started learning an easy way to learn how to solve speed cubing and I was able to start solving very quickly, but I can't go as far with more steps and less time than less steps and bigger learning curve. Also, I've never been able to learn harder tricks to do in cubing, and that's why I need to throw myself in the deep end to learn to swim.
When i was first learning and even now sometimes when i solve it a lot in a day ill close my eyes to sleep and see the cube. Like im making turns and moving pieces in my mind as i try to fall asleep. No matter how much i want it to stop it just keeps flashing behind my eyes till i fall asleep.
dont be scared by this video. timmy taught him a more advanced method for last layer for no reason and anyone could learn how to solve the cube within probably 30 minutes to an hour.
Hi there, I was 13 years of age when the cube was invented, I have grown up with it and never learnt it until a few weeks ago at the age of almost 62, watched a UA-cam tutorial then like yourself made my own short hand notes and practised. I just need to improve now on holding and finger techniques. Still on 1.30 but trying to get it under 1 minute, taught my 12 year old grand daughter the cube and her time is 1 minute I think her small hands contribute. Looking in from the UK.
as a cuber this made cubing look really hard, but I ASSURE YOU, its really easy, even from a non cuber perspective, what i recommend doing is following a youtube tutorial that you think is the easiest, i recommend CubeHead, so solve it from the tutorial, and then after a bit solve it on your own, then when you get stuck, just watch the same part on the tutorial! and keep repeating this till you can solve the rubiks cube on your own, then you can start timing it, but remember, just watch the tutorial if you get stuck on a step, its very simple people!
Damn 44 secs is great. Did you have to learn any other algs to get under a minute? Like F2L or was this all the Beginner method?? I just started cubing and averaging 2mins a solve, but want to know if I need to learn more advanced moves to get under 1 minute
Wow! I can solve Cubes in less than 2 mins. However I solve in the complete opposite fashion you do!!! I was taught to corners first, middle next, opposite side of cube same way (corners first) and then solve middle of cube.
I kinda need Timmy’s help too lol 😂. I am new to cubbing and it looks really interesting! So far, the farthest I ever done is finishing step 2 😅. I am currently trying to get better and it is very difficult for me 😢.
