*my nemesis puzzle is the 1x1. I have tried every algorithm, I’ve watched tutorials. It’s been 8 years. Definitely a hard puzzle. Give it a shot! Cheers*

James Anderson I came up with a method. If your 1x1 is left-weighted with your color, do U L U' L' Right-weighted, do U R U' R' If it's equal, do U2 D2 U2 D2 For the last layer, turn upside down and repeat.

Lol finally another episode. I thought this was an old one I still hadn’t watched.
Congrats! I have one of these too, and consider it the hardest puzzle I own. Interestingly, I didn't have to think of new algorithms either. I solved it layer-by-layer, but learned how to do every algorithm left, right, forwards, and backwards. That increases the flexibility by 4x, helping me circumvent situations with bandages while still attacking whatever piece I want to have move. Each solve still takes hours though, lol
Congrats Kenneth! I've always been too afraid to scramble my latch cube, and this video did NOTHING to alleviate my fears of mine getting scrambled (whether accidentally or intentionally). 😂 😜 🤠

YO REDKB FINALLY U SOLVED THE LATCH CUBE YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON EVER
Whoever came up with the concept of this cube is brilliant. And also stumped most expert cubers.... Happy New Year!
I just got this cube for Christmas. I am to scared to scramble it. My 2x3x4 ghost cube looks easier then this xD and that was a hard puzzle to solve
So well done! ! Such a challenging puzzle. Mine remains on shelf somewhere getting dusty ;D Love this Series!

Yeeeee! I was so excited to see this video! My phone was out of charge and I literally sat next to it for 30 minutes waiting for it to turn on. I love your vids Red KB! Keep up the good work!!

I bought a ton of cubes and other puzzles of the sort because of you. I have been at them constantly. I am very glad that I found your channel somehow.

The only difference between a regular cube is replacing a clockwise turn with three counter clockwise turns. All algorithms utilized in regular 3x3 methodology should technically work.
the nemesis returns!
That personal best is better than my PB for a Rubik’s cube

Congratulations on solving it Good work
My nemesis puzzles are definitely my geraniums. I’ve solved the geranium mini but everything beyond that is just so tough. I have a plan for the pocket but I’m having difficulty executing it and beyond that I have no idea. I just ordered an Eliac too which is gonna be nightmarish. Apart from planar puzzles, my bermuda jupiter cube got me for the longest time, but I figured a solution out for it after entirely too long.
Congrats! If you didn't solve it it could be a new year's resolution
Good job! My nemesis cube is the 3x3. Never solved it. Good luck on any other puzzle!
I just got this puzzle, and I solved it in a half hour after the first scramble of it. I was quite disappointed, but the new Maltese Gears Cube is truly ridiculous!
Awesome! Keep up!
this was awesome!!
has anybody ever told you that you look like jesse plemons in black mirror? dunno, just thought about it. also you have no IDEA how long have i been waiting for this one
That's funny, I've solved it a couple of times in the past, but picked it up last week to figure it out completely and find a solution that makes it easier. My way: 1. edges first, intuitive until maybe the last two have to be reoriented with frf'r' series. 2. Position corners. Once the edges are in position the same color arrows can be grouped by turning the middle layers. Then the corners can be switched more easily. 3. Then the corners are oriented correctly, using the same edge grouping using middle layers. Just started writing this before watching the video, let's see how you did it :)
Wow I'm early finally watch all your videos been around since the missing link
Nice job bro!
Congrats! Only a few unsolved puzzles left!
Good work!
Wow, congrats!
"Be afraid, very afraid!" This cube scares me and it's unlikely I'll ever buy one! "Never say never"...maybe?
Love your vids thumb-thumb!
This video is genius,you are genius,this cube is genius,new year is genius Happy New year,my dood Stay calm and Keep on cubing.
That looks like a beast of a puzzle.
The key hole method works really well for me, when it comes to my latch cube.
Cool shirt! I have been watching Mike for a couple of years.
So far I have solved every puzzle I have attempted. I'm not going to promise I didn't look it up for most of them, but I also don't have a big collection and I have never even seen most of the puzzles you have in person. The only puzzle I know of that I have solved without looking it up is a Mefferts gear cube, and I may or may not have brute forced it just a little bit on half of my solves. There are a few others, but I don't know the name, and they aren't even slightly difficult.
Well done!
loved it, I need one😀
I'd never want to scramble that cube, but it looks cool to have.
Randomly at 6:00 " HEY I DID ONE" Lol enthusiasm at its finest 👌 Lol I'm cringeworthy
very nice solve, right now my nemesis cube is the curvy copter plus. It is very challenging for me, and there aren't any great tutorials for help either lol.
2:34 to 2:37 “ I’m am trying to think out of the *BOX* “. Me: *Pckrshhhhh* box.....
Good job Kenneth!! Now let’s see if you can do square-1
Such a great video i really love this series although on your next nemesis please go easy on the editing (try a live stream)
Congrats on solve👏👏👏👏only took 7 years not that bad
Good job!
Whoever made this is a genius
I have solved the Latch Cube. It is really hard. My basic strategy was to group all 4 black arrows on the top and bottom. Then I position the white arrows into place. Then I try to make the black arrows actually go where they are supposed to be. Only once I have all the arrows where an arrow of that color should be (regardless of the sticker color) do I try to get the edges into the right place. Once I have the edges, then I work on the corners. If that sounds like I left some steps out, well, that's why I can't solve it reliably. It is very hard for me to do. I've only gotten it once or twice. I have an app with this puzzle on it, btw. I don't have the physical puzzle.
Yes it's back!
