Gud work dude!....its impossible to teach, i know, but u did a great job,

verry nicely done

Ayee. That was done very well. I think I'll try it.
You have amazing fingers, by the way.

Cant wait for that Rubik's Magic tutorial!

A+ I reccomend this video to anyone. If you are learning the cube, watch this video FIRST!

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.

i learned to do em. still not that good but im still working on it

thanks a lot !!!!! i learned how to play with rubiks cube hope to cu again

I solved it like a million times thanks to you...

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!

jesus christ how do those little asian kids solve this in 10 seconds? lmao

Same problem with the sound, though, see my comment on your 4x4 video. :)

This guy is a champion he taught me how to solve an rubiks cube, now i ca do it in less than 2 mins. Thanks

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.

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.

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

This is the best Tutorial on the web.

Thanks!

I can't believe how easy that was...I've used it 40 million times...it rocks =)

Thanks for explaining every probability that will be incured while solving it. It was very easy and took 6 days for me to follow the steps

When I am doing the fish.. I am not getting all the yellow colors.. I am getting lost there not understanding what's wrong there, but I am very happy atleast I am coming close to the solving of a rubik cube.. I spent 4 hours today to get to that point.. nice explanation there.... thank you.. but my fish is coming in a different shape and I am getting confused there.. please help....

Hats off dude! I dot' know if I can ever do it.. I can do only one sid easily and maximum 2 sides.. but with ur tutorial I will try and see if I can improve. Thank you!

hey thanx ive got it i didnt remember the algarythms yet but i got them on paper so thanks long plane ride commin up so ill prolly get em down then

if you use the jesica fridrich method wiih thecross and the corresponding colors that will cut your solve time down. for me about a minute probaly

i can do one in like 2-3 minutes cause of you!!

hint: combing the fridrich method(the cross) really helps! you can get the t's faster

Yesterday, I bought a cube for my ten-year-old son and made the mistake of showing him the checkerboard trick I remembered from childhood. Within minutes of buying the thing, he managed to make it into a huge mess -- trying to copy my trick. I'd never solved a cube before, and went looking for help on the web. It is now 24 hours later and my son has his new cube back intact -- thanks to your tutorial. You've done us a huge favor. :)

man! This is the BEST VIDEO EVER for solving a rubiks cube. Although i watched this months ago, i still want to thank you for your help. Now i can solve one in 35 seconds! THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you could complete the white side and the "T' at the same time!

for me, what you have done is the more difficult way in solving...
there is one easy way to solve to it in youtube....

and about the algorithms, just don't mind it...focus on the steps just like i did

no offense to you slyy...

you algarithums screded me up alot

when do u use the two algarithums?

Great vid :D

I've been using your method for a few weeks now, just solving the cubes whenever I'm bored and I found something... a special situation where, after the top face has been solved, the rest doesn't work... it just keeps on repeating itself... still don't know how to get out of it yet...

hey i was just wondering. on the step after you make the T, and you are trying to fill in the center edges pieces, once you have moved the appropiate color into that slot, and then you have to find somewhere where it doesnt work to put the white back up, um, what do u do if there is nowhere that does not fit, and all of them work?

Its not 100% in dept but after messing around with the algorythms it all makes sense, so all you other people stuck on this, mess around with the algorythm, take it step by step, practice each step! I somehow wasn't that impressed with finishing it...

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?

What do you do if you dont have the little L shape on the yellow side?

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!

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.

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

Uploaded a new speedcubing video, go ahead, be amazed.

lol this wideo was wery helpfull

can you tech how to do a megamix

hey bro can you teach how to do a megamix

Fantastic way of explaining the cube!
After seeing your video a couple of times, i can solve the rubriks :P
Thank y so much!
In my eyes, you´re quite like superman!

Cya!

never felt so indebted to someone i do not know. every video i watched before this was crap - you are truly a legend

i can solve the cube now thanks 2 u! Btw where did u get that method?

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?

you did a great job explaining some moves, but there really isn't a technique for this...its just common sense ;)

I embeded some of your video on
ForMakers.com , a "How to" Specialized
website where you keep 100% adsense income. Upload & Enjoy !

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

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.

That was brilliantly display of solving the cube with simple moves. Just remember it and will solve most problems !!

nice job

I want one to practice now :D

this was very infomative untill the last step were it gets confusing as can be
