  • THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

    I created an account with metacafe just to let you know how much you helped me. I watched several tutorial on the rubik's and you were without a doubt the best. I know you don't get money but please take pleasure in the fact that you helped a very frustrated person solve this cube and for that I'm grateful. Once I got it, I messed it up and was able to get to the last step without watching your video, but I did need help with the last step. You are the best on the web...in my opinion. You moved the cube slow and your voice was easy to follow. Take care and God Bless.

  • Very good, but I have some comments...

    As a Rubik's cube slover myself, I believe I have the right to make some comments. Your first layer explanation was very good, well done for that. I do the second layer a completely different way, with one ultra simple algorithim. Your way does work, however it is very round-about. I line it up on the side it's supposed to be, so that it makes a T. (I don't flip the cube upside-down.) Then, if I'm moving it to the left, I do left up, bottom towards, left up, bottom towards, left up, bottom away, left down, bottom away, left down. Also, for when there's a middle edge stuck in the wrong orientation, i just mess up a corner to bring it to the bottom, do the algorithim, fix the corner, and redo the algorithim. It might be a couple moves lonver, but it is much quicker hand motions. I dont get your last side method at all. I first solve for a yellow cross with either a backwards L or horizontal line: the L: Front right, top right, right up, top left, right down, front left. Line: Front right, right up, top right, right down, front left. Then I switch corners the same way you do. Then i do the fish thing, except sometimes you need to do the same thing with opposite direction turns. If there isn't a fish, you just do either direction until you get a fish - you can figure out patterns eventually. Finally, i switch the center edges the same way you do. I've taught many people, and I think that the way I do it is very effective. Your way is great too, but i is a little counter-productive. I tried to make a tutorial, but it didn't work out as well as yours. You did a great job, congratulations. However, i would apreciate it if you could look at my way and comment on it. Thanks!

    • Yeah, constructive critisism.

      Your right, I messed up slightly in some places, but most people can solve the cube from this tutorial.

      We all have our methods, people learn mine, then change slight variations to solve it according to how they feel its best comfordible.

      I solve the cube slightly different from my tutorial during a few steps, it'll just happen that way.

      Ok, so I followed the video the first time and got it but then when I tried it again I got to the very last step but instead of having 1 full side and 3 centers mixed up I have all 4 centers mixed up. red and orange are mixed and blue and green are mixed. What do I do?

    • Simple...

      Perform the algorithm on ANY SIDE, one side will fix itself.

      After you've done the last algorithm, you'll be right where the video is.

      By Slyy 1193437736 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Also...

      You can perform the first algorithm (spinny move) on any side. Then, you should be at the fish. Solve for that, and one side will be complete.

  • Just commenting as an advanced cuber

    First off i created a metacafe acc just to comment on this vid so here goes

    Alrite well this is first off an incredibly easy tutorial, i mean i was like wait wtf? on the last layer. I mean god the plls were incredibly easy. the first layer was err debatably good, instead of making it wrong in the first place, just put it in the right place to begin with. some of the keyhole i found a bit odd and your way of just doing alot of it i found odd, instead of R' D' R D, you did like L D' L' D so basicly a reflection, you should just teach standard cross -> first layer -> middle layer (your way was fine) -> LL (yours was also fine) in all, good job

    • Thanks for the complements.

      I didn't learn the cross method until I already knew how to do this method.

      I'm still not fully used to the cross method, I got way too used to the one I learned to start with.

      But thanks for the comment, I like to hear feedback.

    I was just given a 5x5 and am now learning the 3x3 in order to be able to solve it.
    Your tutorials are very easy to follow and I am sure I will have no trouble solving the 3x3 now.
    Then I will move on to the 4x4 and finally the 5x5.
    I would like to see you make a video on the 5x5 so I can use it as a reference when I get to that point.

    Dude, this is by far the best tutorial on the web bar-none. i also just got an account with Metacafe just so that i could personally thank you. i have tried several times with others on the web with no luck. all the LU,FR.....blah blah blah stuff makes it soooo hard but your way works. one thing though, you mess up on 19:45 of the video you say "the right side up" but you actually move the left side up. i still got it by looking at what you were doing.

    amazing tutorial, got it solved in about an hour. thanks so much. one problem though. im stuck at the whole "fish part" i know how to get it if the L is already there but what about if its like a line of cubes or like 4 in a square? which "algors" do you use to get the fish. my current method is do the two algoriths randomly until the fish appears...sometimes it takes one..sometimes twenty. haha

  • problem on the second ow

    hi,
    Thank you for your tutorial,
    I am at the second row after solving the T,
    I have 2 corners to put in place but i dont have the color on the top to put it further away as you said, how can i do ?
    also you said that if the corner was correct you wouldn't use this algorithme so I can i do ?
    thank you

    By oz-experience 1224490164 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Hmm, I think I got it.

      After solving the T's, you need to put middle pieces into place.

      I think your issue is that you can't find the piece to put in to the right place because it's not on top.

      If it's not on top you need to do an algorithm that I've explained in my video.

      The piece you need is in the middle and you need to get it on top, look back at my video for the algorithm.

      If this didn't answer your question, email me back.

  • Please Help

    I have a big problem. Your tutorial has helped me tremendously. I can solve the cube to about 90%, however, I always run into the same problem. Your "solve for the fish" method never completely works for me. I always end up with one piece that is yellow and w/e else being in the correct row, the row with the yellow face, but flipped wrong, with the yellow side of the piece facing not up, but towards me. This is a problem I can not figure out. I really appreciate your tutorial and if you are kind enough to help me with this problem it will only be extra, I already think you're great.

    • Same question as many.

      You need to do the two moves I gave you in the video at random. It will always be different everytime. The "Solve The Fish Method" is never exact, so just do those two moves at random and eventually you will get the fish.

      I can get the fish in seconds because I can just look at the cube and see what moves I need to do to get the fish.

      You'll get it, keep at it.

  • Top centers reversed

    i had added a comment before about this, never saw it post, but seems when all corners are correct, but the centers are reversed, the "shortcut it seems is to do the algorythm slyy showed that he starts off with "don't know how to say this but turn the front upside down", after completing that 1 side will be completed, and then repeat that same step to finish.

  • odd pattern

    this has happened several times to me following your tutorial, when solving the yellow side, and beaing near the last few algorythms, i get where all the corner peices match and the centers are on opposite sides, is there a easy way to fix that? i think the way i solved the problem before was using your parity method for the center side, ( hence messing the cude way back up), for 2 opposite edge centers, then gettting back to the L and fish

    Thanks dude, That helped a lot, now I can solve a rubiks cube in almost 1:30seconds! By the way, did you get the algorithims yourself? Or got them from someone else, Just wondering, you dont need to answer. Oh and another non answer needed question, whats the the red stuff on your hand?

  • Great Job

    Time to solve first rubik's cube - about 27 years!
    Time to solve after this guy's help - about 20 mins!

    Thanks man, I have never been able to work this out, but your instructions are excellent and I can finally rest easy knowing I can solve the bloody thing!

  • Not able to get Fish

    Hi, Thanks for such a good tutorial. I have been trying to get fish but not able to get it. On what side the first move should start to get fish? I tried a lot of times but not able to get it.

  • Good tutorial

    I stumbled across this tutorial a few days ago and bought my first Rubik's Cube.

    I've solved it multiple times and am trying to get my time under 5 minutes ;)

    Where can one buy the 2x2 cube and the 4x4 cube?

    Regards,
    Sam

  • I was wondering...

    When do you use the 2 algorithms shown to solve the yellow side? For example, i understand that using the "spinny move" after having the fish will give you the completed yellow side, but when else would you use it and when do u use the second algorithm? Also, what side of the cube should face you when using the second 1?

    By NxtDblaine 1196019749 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Urm...

      Well, you have to use the two algorithms to get the yellow side. You'll have to do the two algorithms at random and as for the other question, I think I shown it in the Video.

  • Hey, I kinda need some help...

    Ok, yeah... so I got to 17:35 in your vid and there's no yellow to either the left or right.
    But the "Fish" is kinda, a fish.well, this is what the top looks like
    YYG
    YYY
    YYO Y=yellow G=green O=orange

    so, yeah. There's an extra peice on the top so I'm thinking thats what the left/right peice is, I'll try to get it down but help would be greatly appreaciated

    By xXeneXx 1195345247 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • This is what it will look like...

      Hold your cube so that its facing you (So that the two yellow pieces that are on the front are facing you)

      And perform the spinny move on any side where the yellow piece is.

      That should get you to the fish I think, I don't remember though.

  • Problem

    I started with a Yankee Rubik's Cube, since it is the only one i have.
    when i finished one side, the first row of the T is all done already. However, i don't know how to get the middle piece of the second row of the T, since i don't recall u having to do it.

  • The BEST cube solve video out there

    By far the bets cube solving video out there. Plus, he made the 2x2x2 and 4x4x4 solutions. It used to take me 15-20 minutes to solve the 3x3. Now I can do it in under 3 minutes. It used to take me ~10 minutes to do the 2x2, now I can do that one in less than 2 minutes. I'm still working on the 4x4. I can solve it with my little cheat sheet I made from the directions. I still haven't memorized the two algorythms at the end (parity and the two sets of reversed squares).

    I'd be interested in seeing the 2-gen, 4-gen and 6-gen algorythms you spoke of...

    I just ordered the 5x5x5 cube. Never played with one, but I'm looking forward to it. You gonna make a video of that one? :)

    By flambore 1194321593 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Answers!

      5x5... No.

      I have one, but I don't think I'm ever going to make it. Plus, the stickers peel off and I was like "Fuck it, all the stickers are off anyway." So I peeled off the rest of them.

      And as for the 4,5,6 gen, thats just a fucking hassel. Really all it is is looking ahead really far in the cube... And I don't like doing that.

    By Ownerofyou 1194208644 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Common Question

      You'll get it, what you have to do is randomly do the two algorithms to get the fish. It will take a long time the first time you try it.

      Now that I have solved the cube like half a billion times I can get the fish in about 4-6 seconds.

    By the_Spazinator 1194060073 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • YesYesYes!

      YOU NEED TO KNOW ALL OF THIS BEFORE TRYING THE 4x4!

      Excelent question.

      See, its the same thing on a 4x4 its just adding 2 more moves! It pretty much transfers over and without this knowledge would be impossible to solve the 4x4!

    • and for the 5x5

      Knowing this 3x3 system translates to the 2x2, 4x4 and 5x5. I got my 5x5 a few weeks ago, and using this system, I was very easily able to translate it to the 5x5.

      Slyy, you did a great job on these videos.

  • The first part

    is twice as long as it needs to be! It's redundant. he just randomly puts all the white pieces on the same side, then he lines them up afterward. SO much easier if you just put them all in the right place to begin with. do the white middle pieces first, then the corners. this way you eliminate TONS of moves and your first side is done and all lined up properly.

  • Help!

    Great tutorial. But i'm stuck. After the white side is solved - i did the vertical side of the T. two sides are already done. But the other two sides are next to each other - how do i solve it in that case. In the tutorial - the two sides whose Horizontal T are not solved are opposite of each other.

    • Dosn't matter....

      It dosn't matter if their right next to eachother or across from eachother, all you need to do is bring down and replace. Just like the video shows

      I did what u said and i got out of my problem. But i'm stuck again. After i did the fish, my yellow cubie is on the right side rather than the left. For you it was on the left side - how should i do it?

      By sksathya2004 1193274946 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • This is simple...

      Its the exact same move. "Spinny move" except its reveresed. Nothing is different its just you do it on the other side. So follow the same move.

    umm.. i was solvin the 3x3 with your tutorial and i came to a case where i got the fish.. but the peice that was supposed to be where im supposed to do a spinny move was not there... what do i have to do in those situations? I got around by doin the algorithms till i scramble the peices again but is there any short method for that? thanks man! nice vid.. got it a five

    By shogrran 1193185086 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Well...

      If you get the fish, the yellow piece has to be somewhere. It will be on either side.

      Maybe in my video it was on the left, yours might be on the right. Either way it dosn't matter, the algorithms can go either way.

    for some reason, when i get the fish, i get two heads! if i math any of there heads, i dont see any yellows on the sides, i see two yellows in the back... i cant complete the yellow face.. help plz

    By thebestzero 1192925526 Reply Spam Moderate Up Moderate Down
    • Hmm...

      So what your saying is, you have the fish, but, where the tail is, its actualy a yellow. I think thats what your saying when you say "2 Heads." This is okay! Its a very simple easy solution. Just take one of the any 2 reamining yellows and do the "Spinny Move." From there just keep plugging away at the 2 Algorithims to get the fish.

      I think thats your problem.
