I came to watch this only after solving the puzzle on my own, I had a few different steps and a much less efficient method, I have 40 move algorithms... But the algorithm for outer triangles was exactly the same, only with a different angle of holding the cube, I guess it is the most efficient one. Great video, it was fun comparing methods.

Thanks. I just ordered mine after seeing this video. Was a little worried about turning but now I see it's great. I'm sorry I did not watch it when you started explainig the solving theory but I don't want to spoil myself haha. Good job mate, regards from México :)

Can't wait to get one of these. This looks fun!

Any chance you you can do a tutorial on the Sam gear orbit cube

Potentially. If I do, it will probably be very similar to this video. The solve of the Orbit Cube is also very time consuming, filled with setup moves. I do however have a few commutators that have been rather fool proof for me. If I do a video for the Orbit Cube, I'll likely just highlight and explain each step as well as show those commutators in detail using a similar diagram on screen.

That would be helpful I found a 3 cycle that can be used for the whole solve I just like seeing other approaches appreciate your response. Also site was great got this puzzle fast

Great tutorial!! How about jumbling?

I've yet to try a jumbled scramble on the real puzzle. I've attempted it a few times on the pCubes simulator with no luck. Jumbling creates some crazy internal bandaging that makes returning the puzzle to cubeshape very difficult. I'm also not sure if the jumbled scramble moves things from their appropriate orbit. If the only difficulty added by a jumbled solve is returning it to cubeshape, I don't think I'd enjoy the solve. However, if like the helicopter cube, those jumbling moves actually make the entire solve a new experience due to orbit changes, I'd be willing to give it a try one of these days.

@@puzzlemax13 Ugh, internal bandaging. I saw a comment somewhere about that on this puzzle. Yeah, doesn't sound fun.

The inner triangle can just use an algorithm with 8 steps

What's the alg?

whats a helicopter cube

It's a cube that can survive being dropped out of a helicopter without breaking
