    If someone needs a summary:
    1. White cross: do it somehow :D
    2. Corners of white side: R U R’ U’ (sexy move)
    3. 2nd layer: U’ L’ U L U F U’ F’ (edge to left) U R U’ R’ U’ F’ U F (edge to right)
    4. Yellow cross: F sexy move F’
    5. Yellow side, edge switch: R U R’ U R U2 R’ U
    6. Yellow side, corner switch: L’ U R U’ L U R’ U’
    7. Yellow side, corner rotation: sexy move

      Would u mind giving me the summary but also note, where everything is positioned. Like how do I hold it where does this piece and this piece stay. If that makes sense if not I guess I can do it myself eventually lol

    Hi Greg, I have searched for a video to show friends online an easy way to solve this Rubik's cube, using my method, just 4 simple algorithms. And here you are, having posted a video with 4 simple algorithms, albeit not exactly similar algorithms because of the orientation of the cube held in hand. I believe this is the simplest method, and your pace is easy to follow, and more people ought to have appreciated it. Thank you very much.

    I always have to slow down the speech on these videos. People talk way too fast for beginners. I got left behind on the corner switch permutation. There wasn't a way to follow what you were doing and get the same result even though everything was going really well up to that point. I tried reversing the algorithm but it just fucked me up so I'm gonna have to go back to the start. I would've thought there would only be a few places you could be, so you not covering that really did me in. I'm determined to do this so i'll head back to the start after a quick break but it's really brought me down. I'm sure i'll be glad when I do get there as that's the closest I've ever gotten.

    • @GregMakesThings
      @GregMakesThings  Год назад

      If you only have two corners scrambled that means someone disassembled and reassembled your Rubik's cube the wrong way. Corners always cycle by three, in both orientation and position, unless edges are involved and then they cycle by two corners + two edges. I've been doing this for 15 years, and yes this "scenario" is valid for every possible scramble :)

    Hi, just wanted to thank you for the excellent video, you are the one that helped me understand the 3x3 cube, when ALL THE OTHER TUTORIALS failed. Now i cube everything up to the 8x8. my best time on the 3x3 is 54seconds, so I have more algs to learn but friends ask how to learn, and your video is where i direct them every time. thanks man.

    You make it more confusing than it needs to be.

    I finally did it, I guess I had to do the corner algorithm several times in order to get it facing the right way. Thank you

    Everybody on youtube uses this method. Even after saying algorithms they use steps of solving. Thjs method is too long and useless to me😧
