This logic will blow your mind away! (no algorithm)
99% of cubers don't know how to solve a Rubik's cube!
Here’s the logical way to do it. (needs patience)
When I was just 10 years old,
I got my first Rubik's cube
After few days of tinkering,
I solved the first layer.
It felt amazing!
For the next 10 years, I was stuck.
I couldn't solve the rest of it.
Then, I stumbled upon the 'easy way.'
It involved memorizing a bunch of moves.
'Hold it a certain way, and then go like, 'R, L, U... '
switch your grip and do some 'F, U, L...'.
And just like that, I solved it.
That's how most people solve it.
After a few times, your muscle memory kicks in.
But here's the thing, I wasn't really 'solving' anything.
I only memorized someone else's solution.
I had no clue what I was actually doing.
Most do the same thing.
So, a few years ago,
I tried a different approach.
I wanted to unravel the logic.
I tried making sense of algorithms,
But, it didn’t work. They were complex.
I scoured the net like crazy, searching for a logic.
All I found were 'easy' and 'fast' methods.
Hardly any mention of any logic.
Then, one day, I struck gold!
I stumbled upon a Ted-ed video.
'how to solve Rubik's cube with math.'
It was a light bulb moment and it just clicked.
For the next few days, I got down to work.
I came up with my own set of moves
Based on pure intuition and logic.
Finally I SOLVED IT!
Now I could tell EXACTLY why I made turn.
I'm not the fastest solver out there,
And it's definitely not an easy task.
But, it’s truly satisfying.
Below is a glimpse of what it feels like.
It’s not a tutorial by any means
Just to show the experience.
So, what do you think?

Mahesh sir is the ultimate teacher! Any topic he strips it down to the core and builds up with logic, intuition (also lot of passion) and how to think, than just blindly following algorithms. Pls do an entire series on understanding how to solve Rubik's cube without algorithms. No AI can compete with such teachers 🧠😇

Oh shucks, you are too kind with your words, Wishvas :)
I think I have an amazing insight related to education after watching this video. So many students struggle to learn in schools because in schools they don't teach us the logic of the subject. Instead they give us a list of algorithms to memorize. Isn't that incredibly ineffecient? If so many highly educated experts have designed such a system then there must be a reason behind that. So why we cannot implement teaching of logic behind subjects in more and more schools? What is the problem with the logic based approach? Are there any practical concerns if government tries to create such a cirriculum based on logic?

Amazing observation, Hazim. That's a great parallel. To answer your question, it all depends on what we measure. Remember, 'what get's measured, get's managed'. Measuring your understanding of logic, ability to think is super hard. Instead, as a proxy, we measure the outcome of the thinking. But, the standards of assessments are super low. The result is one can crack these exams without really having to think. It's more tedious and boring, but less taxing. And our brains don't like to be taxed. The result, we resort to memorisation, shortcuts, tricks, etc. Because that can help you pass the exams. There is no real motive to do it the hard way.
These algorithms are called "commutators" by cubers by the way.
Fantastic, pragmatic self taught logic from patient observation, well done! Love it!
I want to thank you for your rubix cube videos. After watching them over and over again for almost a month, I have finally managed to solve the whole cube for the first time LOGICALLY. Thank you
Bloody awesome. I'm going to try it out. More satisfying than wrote learning a meaningless algorith. Thankyou!! 👏👏👏👏👏
That's the best presentation i've ever seen on cube solving. Is there a similar way to do a 3-piece rotation?
Mahesh sir is not teaching us tricks to do things, he is teaching us how to do things!
Never expected this ❤ I used to make my perms using some logic and some experience but this one blew my mind away😮
'Hold it a certain way, and then go like, 'R, L, U... ' switch your grip and do some 'F, U, L...'. I also learnt the way you did when young. I also wondered and thought that the tutorials are not for speed cubing still all they teach is algorithms and was curious about who made these agorithms and how, and how does it always work. Maths surely is a universal language.
YOO THIS IS ACTUALLY SO LOGICAL!! I love this! Just love this! WOW
You are amazing sir!!

Is there any part 2 ?
Superb vid
Sir you are really awesome....
Now all I need is to remember the moves I made XD (now that I think about it, taking a video of it might help!)
Okay, I'm 46 and I suddenly understand the Rubik's Cube after a lifetime of watching other people do speedruns. Thank you, Mahesh!
Genial channel! 🔥
Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me who solve a Rubik's cube under 30 seconds 🗿
It’s funny because I am amazing at 2d Rubix cubes from phone games and can solve even the hardest ones really fast, but my brain cannot transfer the logic to 3d….
Amazing
i always thought why the heck we do the steps we do, its all by mag... logic.
Suppose anyone to be here who hasn't watched Sir on khan academy
Mahesh sir.... Plz taught us english speaking to this core lever..... Plzzz
are you a speedcuber? if so whats your pb

I am the opposite of speedcuber
That's the tank
We can do it by corner twist
and this works with a randomly shuffled cube?
Ummm...but there is one more way....the SMART way😎aka the lazy wayy.....soo...you just gotta flip it...yepp....just like...just flip it lol..trust me....it's possible, a speedcube allows you to turn....YES!...to turn...the corner piecess.. Woohooo...DONE!!
