How To Solve a 2x2 Rubik's Cube _ Simple Method Easy Step by Step Tutorial only 2 easy Moves

Are you our prime ?

You are you two times our prime ?

Hey guys , Papa Crescendo here today to show you the new and improved two by two video .

This is the easiest video out there on youtube .

Anyone can do this .

I promise you you will not find an easier video on how to do the two by two .

Anyone can do it .

A child can do it .

You see videos out there that say oh this is no algorithms .

That's not true .

They're going to say oh turn it this way , then turn it this way and then turn it this way .

That doesn't teach you how to do it .

You need directions , you need to know a way to remember how to turn it .

And that's called an algorithm .

This video only has two algorithms that you need to memorize and I will show you how to memorize them .

Super easy .

OK ?

So let's get going .

The first thing you need to know is the colors .

So on a two by two , there's no center .

So you need to remember that the opposite of red is orange will always be orange , the opposite of blue will always be green and the opposite of white will always be yellow .

So , since most videos are done with yellow and white , we're going to go ahead and work with yellow and white and this as well .

So let's go ahead and scramble this up .

All right .

So now that it's scrambled up , we're going to go ahead and go ahead and do the white first .

Ok .

So the first thing you want to do is just find a white and get it up to here .

I'm not going to worry about these yet because I just want to show you how easy this is .

I've got a white here .

I'm going to put it up here .

So all I need to do is move it out of the way .

Bring down this elevator , jump in this elevator and let's get it up to the top .

So you can see now we've got three up there .

You see how these two blue are matching .

So that's in the right spot .

Now , we've got another white one here .

We can put that here .

We'll see if that actually goes there .

It could be flipped .

It could not , we don't know yet .

And of course , if you're a little more advanced , you can see it ahead of time .

You can see these two are not in the right position .

So all we got to do is move this here and this one here .

How do I know see this screen ?

It's going to have to match up with this screen .

So , if this moves here , this moves here , it'll work .

Ok .

So now that we've got that settled , I'm going to bring this one over to this side .

So the very first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to drop this down to the bottom , move it out of the way and then we'll lift this back up .

Now that it's at the bottom , I'm going to bring it to where it needs to go see this green is going to have to be right actually needs to be right here .

Yeah , and it's gonna be right here .

So what we're going to do is going to bring this down , move it over and there it is see the oranges and the blue are all matched up .

Now , this green needs to match up with the green on this one , which is right here .

That's easy .

This one goes here , match it up , drop it down in the elevator and we go up and now I've got a full .

So now we have the first layer completed .

See how easy that is guys .

Super , super easy .

You can do this with any color by the way , if you do it with orange , that's fine .

Just remember that the other side is going to be red .

So you'll be working with those colors .

Ok ?

So now what we're going to do is be with the opposite side which is the yellow and I just want to make sure that you guys know when I say R that's going to be the right side .

When I say U that's the upside .

And when I say F , which is the face , that's this .

And when I say back , that's the back .

OK , everything's clockwise unless I say prime .

So if I say R prime , you're going to go counter clockwise .

If I say U prime , that's going to be counterclockwise .

OK .

So there you go .

If you don't know what clockwise is .

So take a look at a clock and see the way it turns and that would be clockwise .

And the opposite of that is counterclockwise .

OK .

So here we go , you're going to see a few patterns and I'm going to show you this pattern right here is whenever you have two yellows .

So you have a yellow facing you and a yellow facing up , you're going to have those two facing you and you're going to do the following algorithm .

Here it is from the movie , the matrix .

Are you our prime ?

You , are you two times our prime ?

OK .

So as you can see , it's just two guys talking .

The first guy says , are you our prime ?

Are you our prime ?

The other guy says you , are you two times our prime ?

OK .

That's the algorithm .

It's that easy .

You can practice it with your friends and family .

Now , here's another possibility that you might get where you get two yellows facing the back .

Now , of course , we're trying to get all yellows on top .

So I've got two here .

I'm going to face it towards the back and you're going to have a yellow here and a yellow here .

We're going to do that algorithm again .

OK .

Are you our prime ?

You , are you two times our prime and we're getting really closer .

This is what we're looking for .

A yellow facing me and a yellow facing up .

Now , we know that we are one step away from getting all yellow .

Are you ready ?

And as you can see the first layer has not been touched yellow up on the left yellow facing you on the right .

Here we go .

Rur prime .

You are you two times our prime .

OK .

Did I just solve it ?

Darn it .

Normally you don't solve it that quickly , but that can happen .

So I'm going to do the rur prime again to get us back into a different , I'm going to turn it this way this time to get a good mix .

OK , guys .

So here we go .

Um this is a good one .

So here's another situation you might find yourself and you have two and two and that's what we have here .

You can see the first layer is fine and we got two facing you and two facing you .

So two in the back , two in the front , it doesn't matter how you do it on this one .

So let's just go ahead and face two towards the back .

It doesn't matter which ones and you can do this algorithm again .

Are you our prime ?

You , are you two times our prime ?

OK .

OK , guys .

So I had to do a cut because I kept solving it with the rur prime , which is very rare and I don't know why it kept happening to me .

Um So we're going to take it from here .

So we end up here with um where are we here ?

Because now I'm looking at , OK .

So here's the first trying to look through the lens and look in front of me as well .

It's kind of difficult to do this .

I've got the camera right in front of my face .

But anyway , so as you can see this is our first layer , right ?

It's done .

We did our rur prime uu two times our prime and we end up here .

This is what you'll normally get is where you get the first layer done .

You get this back layer done and all you have left are these two or sometimes all four will still be mixed up , but you'll have full yellow , you'll always get full yellow after this pattern .

Either way you're going to do this next algorithm .

OK .

Let's look at the , this little scene or prime prime back to time RF prime R prime back to times or two times .

OK .

So as you can see , it's just two guys talking to each other again .

And in this case , if you have anything that matches face it towards the back and then do the following algorithm .

If they're all mixed up , it doesn't matter which way you hold it .

OK .

So here we go R prime fr prime .

The other guy says back two times RF prime R prime .

The other guys like back two times and they both say R two times our prime , our prime , back to time .

RF , prime our prime back to times or two times .

And now you're done , you just turn it and it's completely done .

Now , if all four were mixed up , then you'd have to do that algorithm twice .

The first algorithm would solve the two in the back , you'd have the two in the front that are not and then you would repeat it .

So for those of you who want , who are happy with this , you can log off for those of you who are still saying I don't get it .

Let's go ahead .

Watch my old two by two video .

You'll get a bunch out of it and thanks for watching and have a great day .
