  • Not the beginner method, but the method that beginners use. Surprisingly, most people's first idea (solving one side/face at a time) is actually one of the harder ways to solve the cube!

    As a non-cuber who's watching this just for entertainment, it's really interesting to see how your thought patterns change once you learn how to solve it. There were a few times where my own "intuition" (in quotes bc I'm sure what I'm saying could be wrong) was like "why's he making that so complicated that part looks easy" merely because I don't know if that would mess up sides I'm trying to keep. Really neat stuff!

      Just do Quantum Bogo Sort.
      1. Randomize cube. 2. Check if it's solves. 3. If not solved: destroy the universe.
      In the multiple worlds interpretation of quantum theory this leaves you in only one possible universe, the one where it randomly sorted in only one move.
      A simple O(1) solution. Just remember to destroy the universe/time continuum if you dont get the correct result.

    but after watching the tutorials halfway i was able to understand the basics and some commutators that i didnt know it was called that. and was i think i am able to consistently solve 2 sides of a cube at a time... i was able to solve 3 out of luck a few times after endless playing around... i wanted to seriously try solving 3 cubes at a time and i never knew you could solve 4... thank you for this video.

    as someone who has played with cubes for 15 + years, i only recently started watching videos and learning algorithms online. Before that, i managed to figure out that you need to solve it layer by layer, some of my own algorithms to swap corners or edge pieces, and managed to solve the 3 x 3 without any tutorials consitently, although it would take a while due to the lack of a step by step process, but just solving it bit by bit and using my self made algorithms when needed.

  • @testtester8492

    It's awkward largely because once you do 2 sides, that's already 6 out of the 8 corners done. It's very awkward after that to do anything, so you basically need commutators or other tricky methods.

    I legitimately accidentally got three sides at one point. I could get two sides after a not of trouble and then I was doing a bunch of random moves in desparation and I suddenly saw that I had three sides solved. No idea how I stumbled across it, but I lucked out somehow

    You can do the alg from your video
    "You screwd up"
    S', M', U, M, U2, S.
    And it's short😁

    The shortest alg which leaves only four sides of the cubesolved is
    R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U2
    OR
    M2 U2 M2 U2 (Only if M2 is considered one move)(which I think is no)

    I remember The first time i bought a Cube i tried to solve it side by side.
    It took me one week to get 2 sides.
    And I even got 3 sides in a month.
    But now that i learned how to solve it normally i don't even know how to get 2 sides right.(with out solving the whole thing)

    I attempted to try solving a single side without regard for the other colours (like I would have before I could solve one). I got 1 piece (the red-green-white corner) correct. Shows me how bad I truly was lol
