How to Solve the Rubik’s Cube - Walkthrough Solves

Hey , everyone .

This is film in this video , we're going to go over three example solves of the layer by layer method .

The first one , we're going to fully explain what's going on in the cube and why I decide to do certain things .

The second one will involve more brief explanations and the third one will just be a plain solve demonstrating the method .

Let's get started .

Here's the first scramble .

So as you can see , we have one white piece that's already attached to the yellow center .

So we're going to try to get the other ones near the yellow center .

The other ones include this one , this one and this one down here .

This one is a move away .

So I'm gonna do it by turning the right face like this and getting the second part of the Daisy .

Now , I notice this piece , I would love to get it up here except this piece is already in the spot and these two are our vacant spots .

So what I'm going to do is put this piece over here and then fill in the vacancy .

Now I see this piece and there's no easy way for me to get it up here .

So I'm gonna move this spot over it like we did in the example , turn the front face and then put this spot in this position and load the last piece in .

Now I see these green and these green pieces , this green piece should match the green center .

So I'll rotate the bottom two layers and once they match , I'll solve the cross piece .

Now I notice this blue part of the white edge , I want to match it with the blue center once that's done cross piece .

And now this is the orange piece it matches with the orange center in the back .

So once they're matched , I gonna turn the front face like this to solve it .

The last one is red and of course , I want to match it with the red center .

So once that's done , rotate twice and the cross should be solved .

Next , I want to take care of the first layer corners over here .

I see my first one .

It's white , red and green and it goes over here since it's already on top of where it should go .

All they need to do is repeat the right until I get it .

Now , this is the next one I see .

And this one goes here in between the orange , blue white .

So I'm going to put it on top of where it should go and repeat the right until I have it the next piece I see .

Is here and it goes over here .

So I'm gonna put it on top of where it should go and repeat the right until we are good .

The next one is this piece when I see this piece , I know it should belong here .

So I put it on top of where it should go and repeat the right until the entire first layer is solved .

Next , it's time to focus our attention on the second layer edges .

I see these .

So I want to match the green with the green .

And then at this point , I understand that this edge should go to the left .

So I apply the sequence solving it to the left .

This is the next one I see the greens are already matched and this edge goes to the right and apply the sequence to solve that edge .

I saw this piece .

And so I'm going to match the orange with the orange , decide that it goes to the right and then apply the sequence to solve it .

The last one is here and it's already lined up for us .

So all we need to do is notice that it goes to the left .

Once we know that we can apply the sequence and solve it .

Now we can see that we have an angle so we can hold it like this , we can turn the front two layers together , do the righty alg and then turn the front two layers again in order to solve it .

Now , here , these two corners are correctly positioned and these two are not , these need to be interchanged .

So I'm gonna hold it so that they're on the right , do the righty elg three times and then do the lefty out three times after I spin the cube .

And now the corners are correctly positioned .

So I'm gonna turn the cube down and I'm going to twist these two corners .

Let's do that .

OK .

Now , all the corners are solved .

I can align again .

And we have the case where their edge is solved in the front .

So then we know to do our very last sequence and the cube should be solved .

Here's the second scramble .

We're going to do this demonstration a little faster now .

So this edge goes here , this edge goes here and then I can put this one on top of here , turn the front , move this here and put the edge in .

And now I see this green match the greens twice .

See the red , match the reds , turn it twice , see the blue , match the blue , turn it twice , see the orange , match the oranges , turn it twice .

The first layer is done .

Now , I see this corner it goes in here .

So I'm gonna repeat the right until it's solved .

Now , I see this piece it goes over here .

So once it's lined up , gonna repeat the right until it's solved .

And now this is the last piece it goes here and I can repeat the right until it's solved .

Now , I noticed this piece and the oranges match .

So I'm going to move it to the right .

I notice this , I match the reds know that it's going to the right .

Apply the sequence .

I notice this piece match the reds .

It goes to the left , this piece goes to the right .

We have an angle and now we skipped positioning the corners because every corner is already positioned .

So I'm gonna turn the cube down and flip these corners done .

OK .

So now we have the case where the edge is solved and three of them are not one more time , the cube is solved .

Here's our third scramble .

In this case , I'm just going to solve the cube using the method at a moderate pace and show you what a flowy solve should look like .

Let's get started .

So that's it for our example , solve video .

Hopefully you found this instructive .

The last solve I did was about a minute and a half .

And if you practice , you can also reach that speed and definitely go even faster if you practice more .

Thank you very much for watching and hope this helps you solve the cube .
