If you like the sound of a calm, considered and thoughtful approach to solving twisty puzzles, welcome. Enjoy your stay.
I’m a middle-aged nobody who got into twisty puzzles when I turned 40. I’m on twistypuzzles.com/forum as rline. On youtube, back in 2017, I had 12,000 subscribers. Then I shut my channel down and took a break from it all. I’m back.
I specialise in solving puzzles simply, mostly using only two algorithms, the Edge Piece Series: F R’ F’ R (and similar) and the Corner Piece Series: U R U’ L’ U R’ U’ L
I absolutely love breaking down a difficult puzzle to the point where I can solve it using essentially nothing more than these three algorithms, or combinations.
I post new videos whenever I post new videos; according to my schedule, time and interest level.

Nice! I was stucked on the last 2 corners orientation. It was interesting to see how you dealt with that
Man, I haven't seen a tutorial that is this well done and understandable. You really helped me. +1
of all the tutorials this one was the most helpful, BUT none of them mention how to fix this 3-corner swap that i get about 50% of the time… i know it’s a long shot but i need help someone..
That was a grueling solve. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this tutorial. Now I just have to solve it enough to really get the hang of it entirely.
All cornor placed but not matching correctly
I place all cornor but 4 cornor are rotated please make another video for placing edges and cornor flipping
Hello dear please make another tutorial i cant understand
Must be a very old video as I'm guessing that later on you would have used the rline Crazy Two Face kit to make this cube. I still have mine!
Can you make a new FTO tutorial?
Hi, I have solved this magnificent cube on several occasions and it is one of my favourite cubes. Last time the parity of a flipped edge came out. I tried to make algorithms of a normal mixup cube, I tried to flip the edge and reposition the inner pieces of the edges, I even scrambled it and started from the beginning, but I got the parity again. Do you know how to solve it? I will be very grateful for your help.
Hi. What do you think happened? As soon as I finished writing to you, it occurred to me to change the flipped edge to thin edges. That way I solved the parity as a normal 4x4 cube. It's such an easy thing to do and I don't know why I hadn't thought of it. I appreciate your support.
@@charlie.aguilar.88 You can also have a look at my newer updated video of this puzzle: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6yau6iNc7yxY84.html. I've done videos for all of versions 1 to 7 within the last year or two.
Great cube
Nice video 👍👍🔥👍👍
A hard solve until the edges are done. It takes a bit of thinking on the last corners too.
I have struggled with the second one ! Let's now try the new one.
Just keep scrambling it and break in. It will get much better
i looked for so long to find a 9x9 tutorial and finally i found it
This might be my favorite puzzle. Though I haven’t yet stickered my eiton’s star I’ve had for several years now.
This was once my nemesis.... Once you can get your head around what is a centre, corner and edge, it still takes some thinking. It's a great cheap cube. Great explanation once again.
This puzzle is essentially a C-Block, but with a restricted side (the pair) and an unrestricted bottom (the bottom not fused to the core). The pair doesn't add much... it doesn't get fully in the way of sune tricks to rotate corners and permute edges. The corner mover that's one your two basic algorithms is also fully available. That leaves edge flips... the C-Block cube can't do them at all, but this puzzle's unrestricted bottom makes them possible again. So the trick to this for me was using the switching of the bar parity to get the edges all correctly oriented. After that, its pure C-Block, which is easy.
Another garbage puzzle by Mf8, what a surprise.
This is another one that lends itself to the way I normally solve cubes. There's a working position only two moves from solved: Blue quarter turn clockwise, Orange half turn... Yellow is Up and fully clear, Blue on Right and Orange on Front are quarter restricted in opposite directions (which allows for sune and mirror-sune on the top). That's all that's needed for my 2 basic algorithms. As far as solving to a mixed up position goes, this one is quite nice about it... with this configuration all the pieces on the top are straight extensions of the parts under them. Building the first two layers is a bit of fun... especially when you didn't make note of what the chunks were and have to derive it.
I actually have a 4x4 and 5x5 bandaged kit. It’s 3D printed and was sold to me by a Vietnamese puzzle seller. Costed an arm and a leg and the shipping time took forever also but I managed to get my hands on it and they both move incredibly well. If you are genuinely more interested to know more about obtaining one, I can email you.
I am definitely interested in knowing more. Not sure I'll be able to afford them, but would be good to know if they're available.
@@twistypuzzling I sent you a message in the Twisty Puzzles forum. I also asked a few questions about CheckMakeSolve. I will say, the message is quite extensive. please let me know if you got it.
I learned this cube from you many, many years ago, and have been playing with it all the time! My favourite! ...But you solve it differently this time especially the corners. Still a good solution though. Cheers! 😎
This one was hard and i was stucked on corners orientations and messed up everything after my setup moves...
Great series.... this one had me stumped.
This might be a silly question but how do you manage on creating the pictures of the bandage cubes that you used for your templates? I want to create some but I have no idea where to do that online.
I do it using my own excel file that I made, when I created my Bandage puzzle CheckMakeSolve thing. If you have the excel file you'll be able to do it. You can read all about it in the description of this video, which I released a while ago: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJ1-uddtmau5f5c.html
Awesome videos
I also had trouble with the last 3 corners but somehow I always manage to solve it!. I made up similar Fuse bandaged cube many many months ago and still couldn't solve it till now! Let's say yours ( this cube ) has ( 4 W, 4 O, 4 G ) and now you're gonna have ( 1 W, 3 R, 3 B, 1Y ) as one long full bar. How do you solve it?! Please consider to do this cube in the BCC. Thanks. See you!😎
I'll make it up some time and have a look. If I get it solved I'll let you know.
Ciao. Complimenti! Sei n genio! Hai mai risolto la parità del Crazy cube 2x2 con configurazione Nettuno? Grazie 🙏
Ciao! Ho un video per il pazzo Nettuno 2x2. Forse ti aiuterà. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hmStxJmMo5WTc6g.html .
@@twistypuzzlinggrazie mille! Sono riuscito a risolvere! Anche se tu hai un metodo diverso dal mio, mi è bastato cambiare punto di vista. Grazie ❤
Looks great! The pics on the cubezz page don't look like the same puzzle to me - just from the number of visible faces in the camera angle compared to yours in this video.
They definitely look the same to me. I wonder which pics you're seeing that make it seem different?
@@twistypuzzling Their pic has the silver pentagram head-on, and I can't see anything on the other sides of the five adjacent hexagons. In your video I see significantly more visible faces at any given time, which made me think the cubezz page wasn't showing a puzzle w/ 32 faces. I suppose it could be camera distance or some effect of perspective. Anyway, if you say that's the same puzzle, that's more that good enough for me. Seems a ridiculously reasonable price :) It'll be a nice addition.
That's a football! For the geometry of the classical football, please refer to Matt Parker's video "All UK football road signs are wrong!" on the KZread channel Stand-up Maths. There's a fellow Aussie nerd for you! :)
This puzzle does not "jumble", those moves are "possible", but if you continue to do them the puzzle will lock up and/or pop. Fudging is when the designer deliberately adjusts the geometry of a design to make otherwise impossible moves possible. This usually involves opening up gaps between pieces so they can move past each other.
Thanks for the extra info Gus. Appreciated!
Some info about Tuttminx: The only "jumbling" moves you can do is rotating hexagon faces odd number of time (so 1/3/5) but this is considered an "illegal" move and even VeryPuzzle recommends against doing so as it can lead to various issues. It's not like with Curvy Copter, for example, where jumbling doesn't have any negative impact on the mechanism aside from bandaging. The different texture of stickers on pentagon faces is mainly done to prevent you from doing an illegal turn (since you will easily notice when textured stickers are aligning with normal stickers instead of other textured ones). Honestly, it's so good to see Tuttminx finally returning, I've been wanting to get one for quite some time.
Thanks for this extra info rafael, very helpful. It's been so long since I had the 1st one I obviously misremembered about the jumbling...
A master version exists as well...
i solved this on my phone before iit took me 3 hours for the frist and my pb is 1 hour and 20 minutes on the phone it only allows you to do normal turns on the pentagon faces and double turns on the hexagon faces
Thanks for uploading the solving video. Do you have trapezoid doderhombus standard and crazy cubes ?
No, I never got the trapezoid. By the time I'd gone through the doderhombus standard and crazy, I'd had enough of them. To scramble and solve them properly is a LOT of work...
Really appreciated this video! I'd also like it if you could put timestamps to each step, cus I personally liked to almost only know what order to do the pieces and try to figure it out for myself! Either way, appreciate it!
I do put timestamps in tutorial videos all the time now. But this video was made probably 10 or more years ago. Sorry.
@@twistypuzzling no problem man, I get it. And it was still pretty easy to skip ahead to the next step!
I've got one question: In "Middle corner 3-cycle: { U R U' (Ll)' U R' U' (Ll) } U D' { U' (Ll)' U R U' (Ll) U R' } U' D" what does it mean: (Ll) ?
Turn both the outer L face and the slice next to it
@@twistypuzzling Thank you very much
This bandaged cube is about the same in the series we did before. Just bandage differently!. My method is different from yours. Cheers! 😎
Yes, the series isn't specifically meant to always increase in difficulty.
Nice series. Do you mind sharing how are you removing the tiles from the cube? Mine is a little bit stuck and I do not want to forcefully remove them 😅
I have a lot myself and I used an exacto knife. It’s thin enough to go under the tiles and help you pull them out with ease but as a preventive measure from doing that again, I would not push the tiles all the way in. Just in enough to stay put.
I use blutak and some thin tape. You can read about how I do it in this post (and my next post on that same page): twistypuzzles.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=427601#p427601. It works perfectly and I don't have any issues getting tiles off like I used to. Nor do I have to use any kind of knife.
Here's a solution video for solving this DeCETH puzzle: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4h7qqWbc6TOmJc.html
This one is way too easy to solve for me! Can't wait for the next one. Cheers! 😎
Awesome piece of art! Traiphum puzzles are incredible
Any cube puzzle collector should have a Traiphum's original, they are amazing.
Gorgeous. As an individual who does not have Facebook, I appreciate the extra contact info for when I'm ready to get a masterwork puzzle. What a fantastic creation.
The 3x4x5 had some internal bandaging. I remember being really confused when it happened. I was solving the middle triangles and made a wrong turn somewhere and need to start over.
