I had a person who scrambled it for 10 minutes. Now I ain't great but I solved it in a minute and a half. Confused em greatly

That's what my brother does

No, don't look while I'm scrambling it, that's cheating! 😤

Oh my god dawg

Oh I look away, Just for me to laugh my ass off

Being able to watch someone scramble a cube and reverse their moves from memory, would be way more impressive than what is actually being done to solve it

I was gonna say the same thing lol

As a cuber, it is completely opposite, you use Beginner method, CFLOP and all sorts of methods and you use algorithms to solve it. R u dumb

The way I like to think about it is that speedcubing is the physical version of speedrunning. There's the method developers equipped with their extreme knowledge and expertise in their field, and they hand us runners with algorithms, methods, and techniques to practice.

same lmao at least now we know!!

The trick is to pay attention to the pieces with multiple colors on them.

Same here. After my brother, cousin and uncle taught me, I felt so dumb, and wished I had tried to do it myself, just knowing that the strategy is just stripes.

In their head

look ahead and many algorithms

Solve quantum machenic equation to solve a rubix cube

As a begginer cuber, i can say i peel the stickers i after giving up halfway

The layers, what does that mean?

@@zelpazz you start solving the top, then you solve the blocks in the middle, and last the bottom. Solving the sides doesn't work, because all sides are connected on the edges, and the middle square on all sides don't actually move, since they are all connected at the core. so when you solve a rubiks cube, you need to keep that in mind: that you can't solve the up-side and the left side without affecting all other sides. so instead you pick a strategy that does work: solving one side, declaring that side as up, and then move down one layer to solve the blocks in between the upper and under side, before lastly fixing the underside.

OLL

That’s kind of how my mom taught me! She doesn’t do really fast solves, but can easily solve 2x2-5x5 cubes. When she first thought about teaching me a couple years ago, she told me how to do the first layer of a 2x2 (I didn’t have the sides of the bottom lined up a lot of the time, so her old cube just sat there on my desk for a while). More recently I brought that up and asked if she could teach me the rest. I learned and memorized in a weekend, and might try to start doing it fast now. When I asked if she could teach me 3x3, she told me to try to solve the first layer while she went and did something else. We worked through it together, while she used an older cube she had. I memorized the newer algorithms and now I can solve 3x3 easily (sort of) too. Basically, she had me try to do first layers myself. We started 4x4, but I, with my autistic mind, quickly lost interest. Since Christmas is coming up, I’m getting my own 2x2 and 3x3, along with a megaminx, rediminx, a 1x1 megaminx because why not, and a couple other Rubik’s cubes and similar puzzles. All stickerless, my mom has a hatred of stickered cubes, and so do I, naturally This was a lot lol

I was also gonna add this: I see in a lot of these videos that people first solve using a cross (? I’m not sure how that would be used in a sentence), but I’ve never learned that. My mom taught me to just put in pieces for the 1st layer, line up the centers, put in the 2nd layer edges, then make a cross at the top, line up the corners, switch any if needed, do a thing to make all of the top the same, then do a thing to switch the 3rd layer edges, then solve I guess the cross thing is better for speed? Or just better in general? Idk

Yeah its so annoying

I’ve seen videos online showing/claiming how to solve a cube with one pattern of moves repeated x number of times. Obviously geared towards non-cubers LOL. I’m always like “that’s not how that works!”

‘Umm yeah, yeah. It’s called hard work’

Ya thats ehy for me I dont use videos. Took me like 10 years to figure out the 3x3, but it was so much mor satisfying that way

@maximized I wish I could prove it, but sadly I dont have video footage of myself over that 10 year period. Maybe if we hit up the CIA, they could help us out? 😂

@@DaMenchaShorts 🤯🤯that's crazy bro

Ya, and dont even get me started on those wuadratic equations!

I like to think of speedcubing as speedrunning the cube: you have the people creating methods and maneuvers using a fuckton of math, and then you have the competitors learning those methods and executing them as fast as possible while barely understanding a sliver of math involved

I developed my own method in the early 2000s. I had been trying to solve it for years and could only do the first two layers. Then I had an hour commute each way on the subway. Used a lot of pen and paper and solved it. A few months later, I could do the 7×7 (which was newly commercially available) in under 15 minutes, also using my own developed method.

@@nanamacapagal8342 Matrice transforms = fuckton of math. Manually executing simple Do {...] while () loops = solving without thinking about it.

Yeah it’s interesting how every scientist is doing what speedrunners all do. Like all mathematical and physics principles are developed off of knowing what other people have done, so like solving a calculus problem is just using what the people before invented to do so. And the innovators are just the ones who learn from the past and push it just a bit further.

@@teaganmccluskey8644 that is a good point actually. Instead of rediscovery the knowledge, we memorise it and build upon it.

I can usually solve a cube that's been scrambled six or fewer turns by reversing them if I know that's the case. Beyond that I need a more general solution.

Ikr

legit they like u so smart, im like i just found out some algs

@@GamingEwees I tell people it's the easiest way to look smart lol

A few kids thought I was a genius after solving my cube in 30 seconds

don't forget all of the dissapointments you've gained from your judgemental family

that's always what it is. People thing I "figured out" how to solve a rubiks cube. No. you just learn.

@@Orangecat17 You can figure it out, and only if you understand what each rotation does to the configuration of the cube. And since all scrambles are at most 20 moves from being solved. Theoretically you can look at a cube, and just from seeing which tiles are where and what rotation each one has, you can unscramble it with the least amount of moves possible. And if someone like Max Park learned how to do that, then I wouldn't be surprised if he could push the time down for the WR to under 3 seconds from the current 4.86.

@@livedandletdie Sure, it's..technically possible. For like .01 percent of the population lol

@@Orangecat17 No, that's not true. I figured it out myself. It's not even that difficult. Granted, my method is not particularly efficient, but it works. I didn't use a calculator, but I did use pen and paper.

@The Major you would have to memorize about 43 quintillion patterns and algorithms to solve the patterns to be able to do that, so yeah possible but...

@@TMS-Oddbot I might be dumb but if you’re referring to if I had scrambled the cube before giving it to my friend, I think it’s kind of obvious.

I’m still working on this myself! I think I’m using a method call Old Pockmon… or something. Goodness 😅 Using letters to memorise a sequence of pieces to rearrange them. I’m only guessing that this is the most tedious method but I would like to master it before attempting easier/advanced methods. All I know is that if I wrote the sequence down and take my time, it’s possible for me to solve the cube while not looking but blindfolded with the sequence memorised? Not yet there 😅

@@Qubecumber There's math involved in cubing algorithms. It reduces the number of possible moves to scramble a cube to about 20 moves maximum. That's the math part done. You would know this if you watched the video.

@@DarkVoidIII there is math behind everything. But for the practical purpose you are not doing math.

@@kenbrunet6120 and math

​@@AngelPlayz_II theres like 0 math involved in solving a cube.

There is math involve but not numbers math. The people who created fast algorithms uses computers to search for this algorithms and they use group theory and symmetry to reduce the search space.

@@kazedcat Sure it's math but the majority of non cubers have never heard of group theory. Even then, having a computer do the work is also not using math to solve the cube yourself. You're having a computer use the math to do it for you.

Bro u just can't put this a^2 + b^2 = c2 with theory of relativity.

@@Noone91875 Since E = mc² and a²+b² = c², we can substitute the equation for E = m(a²+b²). a is the minimum amount of moves needed to solve the cube with the Kociemba algorithm, and b is the edge orientation of the cube. With this information, we can calculate the least amount of energy needed to solve the cube, maximizing efficiency. This is also the reason why a cube that has less mass takes less energy to be solved.
