This method is somewhat similar to my own, and probably for the same reason: intuitiveness. I have memory issues so I use a method similar to Roux with like 0-5 algs, depending what you count as an alg. The point is to partition off like 4 pieces at a time, solve them intuitively, then continue from there. Rubik's method seems to embody that idea, not because he can't remember algs, but because they didn't exist yet. Interesting stuff. I get what you mean at the end. It's always been weird to me that you'd look at a puzzle and your first thought would be to Google how to do it. There's nothing wrong with that, but it kind of defeats the intended point of a puzzle, lol.

Thank you! I had curiosity about the first method for some time

Your video is a great addition to the book. Thanks. Was hoping for more like this one. Pity you're retired.

Thanks man! This is the single video sgowing the full CF methog, the intended one

Nice video. I like your closing thoughts on the puzzle.

Isn't that just the "Corners first"method, the one that RedKB is using.

Could well be the same method yeah!

@@CanChrisSolveSimilar but not identical. RedKB can 1-look the second set of corners like the later corners first method of Mark Waterman, earlier corners first solutions tend not to be able to do that.

Good job sir. U should try to speedsolve that method. U can do it!

the best method intuitively solve Rubik's Cube is Blindfolded method, spesifically 3 cycle method.

Your tutorials are awesome, Please make a video for pll also,

Wow!

Ty

You should try your own method and do a video about that!!:)

I don't understand. You talk about how Rubik had no algorithms available to him and then you start out using the standard corner 3-cycle algorithm?

Rubik had to come up with his own algs, which is what I've done in this video :) The fact that I am able to explain why the algorithms work is how I gauge whether or not I've figured it out for myself. Just getting an alg off the internet and not knowing why it works would defeat the object. Sure, Rubik didn't have algorithms, but he had to create some for himself to solve the cube the first time :)

3 cycle algorithm is quite easy though.

I know how to flip two middle pieces if you get that case that you mentioned here 13:13. Write me if interested

Well, it's two ways of interpreting a twisty puzzle. You can try to memorize all possible states given your solution method and optimize algorithms - it becomes a memory and dexterity game for time - or solve them intuitively. That's why I prefer shapeshifting puzzles like a ghost cube, mastermorphix, gear cubes, etc ... I enjoy the braintease it gives me. Both are fun, I am just way too slow at solving these 3x3, my best is 16.XX seconds. It's a toy after all. I never solved the 3x3 by myself intuitively, the concept of permutating the last corners for example, in turn messing up "everything" to solve it because repeating those moves 6 times always returns the cube to its original state was beyond me and I would probably never have come up with that. ( I was around 10 when I was first gifted a 1$ cube which turned like it was full of sand ) Cool video, I solved along with you but got stumped on actually orienting the last center pieces. Cool solution!

So it's kind of like a gear cube.

The yellow face is way easier to solve than this, using cycles of 3 edges, with 2 edges in the equator and 1 in the yellow face. The 2 edge flips in the equator is a fairly tricky algorithm to derive intuitively. Rubik discovered this in his first solution but it held him up for weeks. I demonstrate one way to "discover" it in Figuring the Cube Episode 2: Edges.

Wouldn’t it just be easier to 3 cycle those 2 edges with an edge in the top row then solve the new 3-cycle? Seems easier than trying to flip 2 edges that are opposite each other.

This is basically Ortega

Im still not getting notifications for your videos. Just to let you know.
