Hi guys! This guide is meant for true beginner's who just want to learn how to solve a 3 by 3 Rubik's cube. I use the layer by layer method.

ALGORITHMS
-----------------

1) Ri, U, Fi, Ui

2) Ri, Di, R, D

3) Going Right - U, R, Ui, Ri, Ui, Fi, U, F

Going Left - Ui, Li, U, L, U, F, Ui, Fi

4) F, R, U, Ri, Ui, Fi

5) R, U, Ri, U, R, U, U, Ri

6) U, R, Ui, Li, U, Ri, Ui, L

7) Ri, Di, R, D (Same as #2)


This method can be done in about a minute once you improve your skills. Also, to improve your speed, you can put Vaseline inside your cube, as well as use finger flicks as I show in the video.

    Hi, you're really going VERY fast and I cannot catch up with you. And the inverteds all those don't make sense to me.. When I do the algorithms, it just make the cube even worse.. Please explain further and DONT go so fast!!

    This is a great video! I watched another video but this is SO much clearer. The other video showed that you need to align the colors but he didn't tell you how or why! This is a great video and I'm now moving on to part 2! Good job!
