      trust me, "for step one, match the colors of an edge peice to both the top color and the side color" that makes no fuckin' sense.

      it's kind of hard to have a rubik's cube demonstration without colored illustrations. Imagine black and white instructions, now that would be challenging.

      open up your brain with a knife, steal a geniuses brain, and insert it into your own skull. I tried that once and it worked! I switched the brains back though because the genius wasn't good with women.

          you make it so difficult to understand and to follow the directions.
          and i think most people go from bottom to top after the first layer i rate this poorly
          just for your effort 2 stars

            the mistake here in this tutorial is that words are speaken before action. how can we understand every step if you speak continuously but the action does not correspond to your every word?!?!!!! one of the poorest tutorials ever made!
            this make my mind boggle more than before i watched your other technique!

            • GentleManSteve Ways to do the last layer by GentleManSteve, 1201713912 Report sent Spam Reply Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

              To many moves for the average Joe to remember. He said the last layer had two steps. But there are so many real steps to finish it. I use three steps to do the bottom. I get the cross then the three corners swap then three corners flip. I use 1 step for each step. No looking at the cube saying I need to do it this way. One different way then I would show you. You do look at the cube but not to see it you use a different step because you use the same step each step. 3 steps each step has only one way of doing it

                Try to focus on the vid and have a rubiks with you and try to follow and understand the instructions and you probably solve it like me. It wouldn't earn $3,060 if its not clear....

                    When Rubiks cubes first came out, I got a booklet (written by a 12 year old) (I still have it). Following his instructions I was able to solve it, but it still took at least a half hour for me, even with good instructions!!!

                                                                                    I've devised a new method to stop having migraines over rubik's cube. 4 easy steps.

                                                                                    1 Take the cube in one hand
                                                                                    2 With your other hand, open a drawer
                                                                                    3 Put the cube in the drawer, close the drawer
                                                                                    4 Walk away

                                                                                        it looks like this (ill add numbers to make a diagram) [1][2][3]
                                                                                        [4][5][6]
                                                                                        [7][8][9]
                                                                                        for the first step you try and get 2,4,6,and 8 to match on all sides the middle cube is the key(it cannot move)
