Algorithm at 4:12 is (R U R' U') (R' F R2 U') R' U' (R U R' F') brackets are there to trigger memory moves and if you are wondering this is just a t permutation
Because he says to learn how to solve a 2x2x2 first and if you know the common corner algorithm from the 2x2x2 or the 3x3x3 then you can figure it out.
Ikr that really freaking pissed me tf off when he didn’t even show the damn algorithm and I’m so mad bc I have been trying for a month now to solve this piece of crap puzzle and most tutorials on RUclips are shit tutorials they don’t know how to teach worth of crap smfh 🤦♂️
@@howdoesonedeleteachannel4347 omg I was not cubing for so long and now I saw this reply and remembered that cubing was also a thing. Maybe I will continue it
Bro you are a bloody life saver! Was stuck on this bit for so dang long. It's like why would he cut it out. He says to follow the algorithm but his one has 8 options while this is literally what saved it. Thank you!
I am amazed that this puzzle only has 2 brands, both of which discontinued the 2x2x4. It would be amazing to have this in a modern spring version like what QiYi did with their cuboids.
“Solve it like you would a 2x2” *still doesn’t work* “Use the corner swap algorithm” *still doesn’t work* what did he do? *cuts half of the algorithm out* ….oh word.
Thank you for this tutorial. I haven't solved it in months and forgot the last step. I have been trying to remember for a week now and you saved me some time. This is great!
I saw another metgod where you just put it into the normal shape and then do a few algorithms but the guy didn't write down the algorithm so I couldn't do it
Wow I was following along great until he skipped the algorithm for switching the middle, it was hell from there. Please make another video showing all the algorithms on the screen without skipping any, it would really help.
Thanks so much I did not know how to solve the 2 by 2 by 2 but I just had to watch one other vid to see how to swap the two green corners and then was able to complete the cube!
I love this... but first I have to get it back to the tower shape to try the algorithm and Im stuck! Is there an easy trick to get it back to the cuboid shape after it has gotten shape shifted?
for anyone who can't get their cube back into a cube shape but knows how to solve a 2x2 the just make a 2x2x2 block then use an algorithm from 3x3x3 except instead of having the color oriented wrong its the piece that is in the wrong spot
This is somehow the best and worst tutorial I’ve seen because it goes at the right pace when it actually shows you how to solve something but it also has 86 cuts in he middle of solving and instead of showing you how to solve some parts it just says “it’s just like this algorithm for a 2x2, just to make us go watch his 2x2 which is even worse and doesn’t have segments to easily click to the right part
Trying to learn this.. When you're working on the first inner face, what happens when the 4th piece you need is one of the random singles hanging off on the end that isn't movable relative to the center? Thanks.
"do this alg...." [starts alg... cut it off 2 turns in....] this like teaching someone how to shoot a firearm, "just hold firearm like this with your finger here.. [ blindfolder the person; shoots 30 rounds, strips apart gun, unblindfolds the person] "see easy!"
I used this to memorize how to solve the 2x2x4 and it was really helpful! But I had to go back a lot because I for some reason didn't understand what you were talking about and you were talking a little too fast!
Im still so very confuzed. I got both sides in the middle the when trying to retun it to its original tower form i fucked everything up. Like how the hell, i need more help my dudes
So I have a cade where j just solved the blue and white sides, and was going to place the corners, but the other colors on the corner are swapped. Ex. Red on right side of edge and yellow on left, but the corner has white on top, red on left, and yellow on right. How do I fix this?
Algorithm at 4:12 is (R U R' U') (R' F R2 U') R' U' (R U R' F') brackets are there to trigger memory moves and if you are wondering this is just a t permutation
The cut he did didn’t help, thanks
thanks! the cut annoyed me so much so thanks
Thank you so much!
Thx
I’m having trouble figuring out how to line up the green @ 3:10, can you help?
"do this algorithm once if your final step is like this: *Skips the algorithm*
This is why this tutorial sucks
just a tperm but yes i agree he shouldn't have skipped it
Hold the completed face toward you with the unpaired pieces in the top layer back like he had in the video and do (R B’ R F2 R’ B R F2 R2)
I KNOW RIGHT, but no hate on him he's my idol...on cubing
He literally told you to watch the 2x2 tutorial first, he talks about it extensively in that video
"You can do this algorithm"
"Skips the algrorithm"
🥴
It's just a 2*2 everyone can do that
Why would you edit out half of the rotations for certain parts? Not everyone solves a 2x2 the same as you.
Peter Grigg solve it however you solve a 2x2...
That's the whole point. You don't need to solve it the way he does. You can solve the 2x2 part any way you like.
yea i don't understand
Peter Grigg yes
Because he says to learn how to solve a 2x2x2 first and if you know the common corner algorithm from the 2x2x2 or the 3x3x3 then you can figure it out.

Is that the Parity?
"And follow this algorithm" nice man, i get it
Thank you very much, this was really helpful. Also, I noticed that to solve this cube, you have to solve a 2x2, and then a 2x2x3, which is interesting
Easily the best tutorial for solving a 2x2x4 tower on RUclips.

bro why the heck did u skip during the algorithm
I hate when there are dislikes when there wasn’t even enough time to watch it
Clayton Stuart right!

You're amazing Z3!
I could, if I could get one 😂
I know how to solve this tower, but damm this is better than my version of solving
what algorithms do you use at 4:14? Like you skip all of the algorithms for the next few options as well

DO NOT JUMP CUT WHILE SOLVING I HATE TRYING TO FOLLOW ALONG AT HALF SPEED AND THE WHOLE CUBE JUST TELEPORTS AND I FUCK UP THE ENTIRE THING
THANK YOU!!!
I had this cube for 3 years and finally found a good tutorial for one, thx
I love this... but first I have to get it back to the tower shape to try the algorithm and Im stuck! Is there an easy trick to get it back to the cuboid shape after it has gotten shape shifted?
That's why I'm here and he jump cuts both times he does it.
If you solve the 2*2 correctly you automatically get the cuboid shape
Do the last algorithm you would do on beginner and solve the inside pieces agian
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I finally learned how to solve this!!!
for anyone who can't get their cube back into a cube shape but knows how to solve a 2x2 the just make a 2x2x2 block then use an algorithm from 3x3x3 except instead of having the color oriented wrong its the piece that is in the wrong spot
Dude ur insane at life
Thanks! So helpful!
Thanks a lot
I knew you were going to make a tutorial of this after you solved it for the first time.
This is somehow the best and worst tutorial I’ve seen because it goes at the right pace when it actually shows you how to solve something but it also has 86 cuts in he middle of solving and instead of showing you how to solve some parts it just says “it’s just like this algorithm for a 2x2, just to make us go watch his 2x2 which is even worse and doesn’t have segments to easily click to the right part
Fun fact
It’s just an extended 2x2 is if you take off the corners
My brother scrambled the 2x2x4 rubiks tower
Tysm this really helped me out on competing with my friend
Fun fact, the outer layers's cornsrs can be permutated with the square 1 CP algs
Trying to learn this.. When you're working on the first inner face, what happens when the 4th piece you need is one of the random singles hanging off on the end that isn't movable relative to the center? Thanks.
The 4 pieces you use for the inner face can not be one of the single pieces on the end. You ignore those pieces when you are solving the inner pieces.
"do this alg...." [starts alg... cut it off 2 turns in....]
this like teaching someone how to shoot a firearm, "just hold firearm like this with your finger here.. [ blindfolder the person; shoots 30 rounds, strips apart gun, unblindfolds the person] "see easy!"

Thank u soo much Z3 u have improved my skills and intelligence thank u
So basically it's just a 2 by 2 but after u solve the 2 by 2 u solve it like a square 1
very good tutorial! easy to use and it really helped me solve the cube
i got a case where 2 pieces need to be swapped and THATS the one thing you dont show? this tutorial didnt even help

This video is horrendous. Does not explain anything!
what is the FULL algorithm of changing the shape back to the tower cube?

Thank you soooo much Z3 u are the best cuber in my opinion
Everyone says solve like a 2x2 but it does not work solving like a 2x2
Thanks i was able to learn it in one day!!
How can you solve the Tower cube if there’s a misplaced color on the rectangle sides?
i learned it by trying to think of it as a square-1 and 2x2 at the same time
