Maybe you're bored by reading this by now, but this was the first time i understood how to use commutators, rather than merely vaguely understanding the concept. Thank you for the clear explanation, particularly using the black cube. That was, for me, an invaluable visual aid.

You, sir, are the first person I met that actually teaches how to solve the cube by actually knowing what's going on instead of repeating "magic" algorithms. Thank you and 許技江.

I came across your video by accident and it reminded me of my failure to ever figure out the rubik's cube back when they originally came out the early 1980s (no internet or youtube back then!). Your explanation was so beautifully clear and thorough that I went out and bought a new cube (the old one got lost over the decades) and I'm now solving it so quickly that it's annoying my wife who I've been asking to mix it back up for me each time. You should be proud of how well you put this video together and communicated the logic of how to "see" the cube's movements to get to a solution. I very much appreciate what you've done here and, although I've never previously commented on a youtube video, I had to write this and let you know what a great job you did. Just want to add that I'm in my 70's and age is no barrier when an explanation is as clear and to the point as this one is.

I genuinely laughed when I finally solved the cube. I knew how to solve it many years ago but found quite boring to memorize and apply algorithms, so I left my cube to catch dust on my shelf. Now this is a really fun method and one that makes you use some brain, in which I'm much better compared to memorizing. Your English is also very good and you explain concepts easily. Thank you so much for this!

Wow. This is probably the only tutorial on KZread that shows how a cube can be solved with zero algorithms. I really liked how you explained how the pieces move with fun analogies and imagery. I did something similar when I had a cubing club at school. If I had known about this tutorial, it would have been much easier to teach them. I am currently doing research for a video that explores the question, “What is the easiest way to solve a cube?” I will be covering a variety of methods and philosophies in that video. I will definitely mention your channel. Thanks :)

Thank you very much for this video. With algorithms I have always had the impression that it wasn't me who solved the cube. Now it's me who solve it. Thanks again.

This is by far the easiest way to solve a cube. No algorithms to memorize, just a few different steps. Thank you! Adding this to my favorites and I’m gonna mix up my cube and do this over and over until I have it down pat! This is seriously brilliant. *Thank you*

Bro, you're a legend. I was looking for something that helped me understand THE CUBE and not just memorize algorithms. Now we practice.

After learning the 8355 method from you, I will definitely be able to solve the Rubik's cube even when I become 80 years old.

I already know how to solve it, in fact I know CFOP, but I've been looking for a 100% intuitive method and this is a good one!

This is a gem! Thank you so much. Now I feel that I’m actually solving the cube and not just following memorised algorithms.

Big thank you for such a clear and well presented video. I learned to solve the cube years ago using the various algorithms but I’m not the type of learner who works well with just remembering procedures, I need to understand things from first principles. This technique is much better suited to me. What got me motivated to solve the cube again was my grandson coming to stay for a week and he saw my cube sitting beside my bed where it has been for the last 2+ years. He would make a few moves which I could easily fix but eventually he made too many moves and it got scrambled! At that point I realised I had forgotten the magic algorithms and so went looking for a more intuitive method. Happy to say after a couple of hours I have now solved the cube about 4 times. The last two were completely independent of your video. Thanks again! 🙏

After searching the internet for a long time, finally a video that is actually "with no algorithms". No fancy terminologies, complicated algorithms to remember. Simple steps to "solve" a Rubik's cube. Thanks a lot!!!

Thanks for teaching using a cube with the blacked-out stickers in the demonstration. It greatly helps with visualizing the method without getting distracted.

Thank you for posting this. I've only seen guys use algorithms and this is refreshing. I also love the way you explain it so effortlessly. If only more teachers could be like you!

It's already been said many times but this is the best description I've seen for describing an almost entirely intuitive solve. Thank you so much for being so thorough and making it easy to understand! I can't imagine how many stickers you peeled off to make the cube black is so many different permutations like that!

Learned the first two layers of LBL while on a trip visiting my brother. Came home determined to learn the last layer but was bombarded with combos to memorize… I’ve somehow found your video (yesterday) and today I have solved my first cube in a way that I’m confident I can reproduce by thinking rather than having to look at cheat sheet moves.

Thank you so much for this great video! I have used algorithms for years, but now I finally understand how I solved the cube. And you have the best analogies, you are a great teacher.

I was having a hard time making the cross in a few moves. Your explanation about the carousel and the seats is the best I've found in all KZread ☺️

I'm a new cuber and I found this method online and it made a lot of sense, but your video makes even more sense and I learned some tricks so I won't struggle as much! *EDIT:* specifically the last step, that's the one that I was struggling with the most and your "fish scooping" description makes it so much easier @_@

Thank you for the effort for popularizing this wonderful method!

Thank you so so much, this is an excellent method and you explained it brilliantly. It is great to be able to solve the cube 'naturally' rather than by learning lots of algorithms. You are a fantastic teacher. It is a real skill to make something complex feel simple, thank you.

I feel like every other tutorial walks me through the process of getting a Rubik's cube to "be solved". This one actually helps me understand HOW to solve a Rubik's cube. Great video! Thanks so much for making it! 😎👍

Great explanation! This teaches you to understand the cube and the relationship between pieces.

What a great teacher you are 🙌 I was fed up of algorithms and came across this video, you are a Gem 💎

Thank you for this great tutorial! I usually failed on the layer-by-layer method because the tutorials I read didn't make it clear to not rotate the whole cube; you demonstrated it's a work area, and that helps. I like this method since it feels more like a puzzle.

Great tutorial. Well explained. Thanks for sharing!

When I found out about 8355 few weeks ago, I was like "how can you intuitively permute AND orient the last 5 corners?", so I was pretty sceptical tbh... now I know it's such a genius method! Now, after years of cubing and learning multiple methods I understand what's going on when I use the cube, but I still never expected it was solvable with literally no algs, this is amazing! I wish I learnt cubing this way back in the day...

One of the best explained steps. It makes us focus on understanding stand fixed formula. Excellent job. 👍 👏

Looking for a way to solve the cube intuitively without any algorithm. This the only one I found!! Thank you!! Let’s make this video blow up! Way too underrated and underwatched in my opinion!

This is excellent. And explained extremely well. Thank you for creating the video and uploading.

Truly brilliant cubing method. I've tried many "intuitive" methods but many of them still require a certain degree of memorisation (looking at you, Roux. You and your CMLL...), but 8533 makes the cube feel like a puzzle again, rather than just a regular toy.

Underrated video - thank you for sharing!

Great method and great explanation ! This is the best path for understanding the cube from my point of view.

Thank you for the how and why. This is real solving. Reasoning. Understanding.

That is what I was looking for. Solving cube with understand what Im doing not learning algorithms! Thank You!

I just learned the Layer By Layer and was trying to find if there were any other Beginner methods. Found a mention of this on a wiki and went to find a video on it. Thank you for making this video! I love how you described everything in simple terms and used analogies for the motions. I think this may infact be the best intro to Rubik's cube solving! The intuitive focus of this method is really appealing, can't wait to try it out 😁 EDIT: LOL trying out this method i got this exact position 34:05

Loved this. Thank you so much. I started solving a handful of months ago but did it by memorizing cases and algorithms. I could solve the cube but it wasn't fun. I took a few months off and am now trying to relearn it in a better way and this video was so helpful this was like exactly what I was looking for

So happy to find this tutorial 😍 This is a proper way to solve the cube!

Great method, great explanation. Many thanks for an excellent video. I have been looking for something like this for a while.

Thanks for the brilliant explanation!

Thank you so much for explaining this method!

FINALLY someone who tells how to think and not only how to use boring algoritms. It only took med 42 years from when I got my first cube and I solved the first side to understand how to solve the rest.

I applaud you for your explanation. This is the most fun method I've come across

I wanted to come up with a method for newer cubers, and I came up with a very similar method to this. For the last step, my method was to first solve the missing FL corners using a A-permutation style commutator, then solving the last 4 corners using commutator as well. I'm interested to see how this works (haven't watched it yet). Thanks for the video :)

Thank you very much for this inspiring tutorial! You explained this thinking method so clearly! I am very happy with it. Solving the cube is much more fun by thinking! 🤗🥳

I like this method so much! I don’t really like using algorithms. Thank you for the video.

I always had a hard time mugging up algorithms and practicing algorithms like a robot. This video really helped me

I know the cfop method but ive always wanted to be able to solve the cube more intuitively this was such an awesome method thank you!,

This is exactly what i was looking for ! I have solved the cube a million times by memorizing algorithms but it becomes boring. I have always wanted to break it down and solve it myself and this is the closest way. Thank you so much !

Cool vid! This would be a great way to get non-cubers less intimidated about solving it on their own :)

Ty so much, at last i take the hint of this. Really ty for your explanation of the method

This is the single most helpful video on cubing that I have ever seen on KZread. I can do Layer By Layer and Roux, but even then, your explanations are immensely helpful for gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying processes. I admire and adore the various didactic tools you employ, be it the black cube, the paper markers or your fun and memorable imagery. Thank you. 🥰 🎉 You, sir, _rock!_ 🎉

This is exactly how my mind wants to solve the Rubik's cube. With the work/buffer area and thought process of scooping and storing tiles to "save" them from changes. I could not figure them out fully myself, so this video is the reason I can now solve a Rubik's cube the way I want to approach it. I always need to know why I do things, not just how. Next step is to look for algo solutions my mind can befriend with, based on what I have learned in this video. Thanks a lot.

When I solve the last 2 corners the 6 cycles are not finished yet. After finishing the cycle, there are another 2 unsolved corners. When I put the cube configuration into an online tool, it says the cube is not solvable. Here are images of the cube: imgur.com/a/cEpblwB Thank you for your help! Also, is there a similar method for 2x3x3?

@@Matyanson For a void cube if you cannot solve it, pretty much the "centers" you think are "wrong". Although a void cube does not seem to have 6 centers, there actually are because you imagine so. Unfortunately there are 50% chance your imagination is wrong. See Jperm's video for more details: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oWGG2q6zgsiYiag.html To solve it there are two ways: 1. Check "void cube parity" algorithm online. Or 2. Imagine shift of 4 centers. For example imagine your "red" center should've been green, green should've been orange, orange should've been blue, and blue should've been red. If you're familiar with M slice then you can check 4:59 in Jperm's video how he has done it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oWGG2q6zgsiYiag.html&t=299s For 2x3x3 I'm not aware of a similar method... But who knows maybe there are some method out there are that are easy to understand!

Thank you for this video! I solved my first Rubik's cube! This method made it fun - and like you said - it's beautiful and intuitive! And you explain it so well!

Tip for the step where you solve the 5 last edges: When you do the first 3 yellow edges, make sure 2 of them correct and 1 of them is incorrect. Then, you can just replace the incorrect yellow edge with the remaining yellow edge still waiting to be oriented and move the incorrect yellow edge where it is supposed to go.

Very interesting solution. It solves a couple problems I encountered using algorithms. First, I still break the puzzle often. However, I never feel lost to the point it's irrecoverable. I quickly reset and continue without having to blow it up. Secondly, the puzzle is fun to solve now. Not just a series of algorithms.

Thanks, that helped me a lot! I aways had trouble to memorize the algoritms, so i could only solve the cube while watching the tutorial. My dream was to solve it alone and now it finaly realized because of you! Thanks so much!

Great great great tutorial. Basically only 1 algorithm is described here (the whole D'R'DR which done twice will change the orientation of the corner piece and done 6 time will reset the bottom 2 layers. Remember that and i guess the boss case (which is not an algorithm), and you have your rubik solved consistently. Thumbs up!

Thank you. This is the method I learned to solve a rubik's cube.
