so kilominx isn't an event but clock is?

@Z3Cubing 7 жыл бұрын

Yup. Keep in mind that clock is a Rubik's brand puzzle that has existed since the 80s, while there has only been one (pretty low quality) kilominx that has existed until a few months ago.

One thing I found really distinctive and distinguishable about your tutorials is that you thoroughly explain every step, making sure that we get it, with a case, and making it easier for some experienced cubers, you've taught me 2x2, 4x4, Skewb, Pyraminx and the void, thanks man.

@mrshenanigan8367 7 жыл бұрын

@thedonutbros1275 2 жыл бұрын

As of right now, he's taught me the 3x3 and 2x2. It's not much, but I'm planning on learning my whole collection (besides floppy cube and this random, unpopular puzzle)! As of right now, my collection is: 3x3, 2x2, Floppy Cube (1x3x3), Kilominx, Megaminx, Pyraminx, Pyramorphix, and Skewb. There is 1 more, which is the unpopular puzzle in which I don't know the name of. It's like a 1x2x3, but pillowed.

@brittneyhollowell7962 4 жыл бұрын

I just ordered one of these. Should be here in a couple days! I got it simply because i know how to solve the 2x2 and this just looked too fun. I also watched some of your other tutorials and found them easy to follow so i know that if i run into an issue with the kilominx your video is right there to help me fix it.

Here's a trick I figured out. In the PLL case with 2 bars, you can solve it instantly by holding it so one bar is in the front and the other is in the back left. If it is in the back right, just rotate the kilominx. Then do a J-Perm and it is solved. :)

Hey! I got a PLL case aside from the two you went over. Anyone know why this happened? I didn't use the first algorithm ( R' D' R D) for every single corner. I solved the middle second layer intuitively, and a few of the 3rd layer that way as well. If anyone's really interested, I'll provide the case... My first layer "white" face is the dark blue face, so light blue is my last layer color... in clockwise from a top view of the puzzle the pieces are: (lightblue/grey/orange), (lb/grey/tan), (lb/green/tan), (lb/green/purple), (lb/orange/purple). Obviously the rest of the puzzle is solved.

Do as many U moves as you need to find it, just don't rotate your k-minx, as he said, and don't forget to do the D at the end of every R' D' R D sequence.
