Solve the rubik's cube with NO crazy algorithms _ Superholly

OK , let's get straight to it .

So I tried to mix the Rubik's cube up as much as I could .

Um Let's go ahead and start with the block face .

Now , this is pretty much the most basic step and most of you probably already know how to do this .

So if you do , go ahead and skip to the minute that I'm going to put down on the screen right now .

Uh For the rest of you , our first objective is to obtain a cross right here .

So we're gonna look for the pieces that we need .

Black and blue being the first and we have to find the blue face .

It's very important to keep into consideration that these middle pieces do not move and it's not just about making everything look pretty here .

It's about making sure that these colors are already lining up with this piece as well .

So black and blue .

Where'd you go ?

Here we go .

We'll come on over to the blue face .

Now , get it right under blue , match it up and then you can roll it on around , go about in any way that you want .

This part is pretty easy .

I don't feel like it needs a lot of explanation , but it is a very helpful tip to realize that doing the cross before the corners um can save you a lot of headache .

This one's in the right place and the wrong rotation .

So let's get it off of there and then come down and get it .

Now we just need black and orange .

Here we go , come back and get it .

OK .

Next step is getting the corners in place .

And what we're gonna do here is pretty self-explanatory .

Look for the pieces and then take into consideration all three colors and based on that the side of a corner , it goes in here , we have red , green and black .

Now , if you'll notice , I'm thinking of them as you know , in the axis , which one I could pick it up on .

So for example , if I could pick this one up on this axis , it would not be in the right place .

But if I picked it up on this axis , it would .

So I just get it out of the way and come down to pick it up .

So you know , things to think about here , we have blue , orange and black and again this axis , it won't be in the right place , but this one , it will .

So to get ready for that , we have to get it completely off that axis , come down and get it , put it on and pick it up and for our final piece , red , blue and black .

OK .

So this is the absolute basics , right ?

And I like to think of it as um a building .

We've got our first floor ready that includes the bottom face and all of the pieces , you know , the side pieces on the first floor .

Our next task will be to do the second floor .

And that means getting all of these pieces in the right place .

And what do you know we've got one already .

So the easiest way to go about this is looking for pieces up here that don't have yellow , which means they don't need to be up here .

Let's start with this blue and orange .

So we go and find our blue and orange faces where they intersect .

So this piece needs to go here .

Now , this is a really cool trick .

I like to think of this as the seam and we're gonna get the piece exactly across from the color that's on top .

So if it were orange , we would put it here .

But since the blue is the color on top , we put it here and now everything is in relation to this scene and watch this movement starting with the blue face , which is the color that's on top up the scene toward the seam , down the seam and they're gonna match up and you get it out of the way for the orange face , up the sea to the seam and down and there it is and we haven't affected anything .

Let's try that again .

Let's look for green and red and it's already in the right place .

Green with green on top .

And we're gonna start like this up the seam toward the seam , down the seam , out of the way other face , up the seam toward the seam and down .

And we've got one last piece .

It is orange and green and it's already in the right place because we're gonna start with a green face this time .

So it's gonna be the same movements .

But backwards , we start with a green face because green is on top up the seam toward the seam with the piece down the seam and out of the way .

And now the orange face up the seam toward the seam and down there you go , you've got your second floor of the building and now you're going to notice as we move on to the third floor that there's either going to be , um , a little arrow here , a line or a full cross with the color that you want , which is yellow in this case .

So there is one movement that allows you to move from one to the next .

Our objective is to get a cross .

Um The first possible configuration would be an arrow , you would point it this way if you had an arrow and then you're going to do this clock , clock , clock , counter , counter , counter .

So now we have a cross .

And if we had had an arrow that would have turned into a line and then you put the line right in front of you like I did and do the same movement .

So let's just try it again .

Clock , clock , clock , counter , counter counter .

There's our arrow because I'm regressing .

Let's try it again .

Put the arrow pointing northwest in order to do this movement , starting with the front face , clock , clock , clock , counter , counter counter .

Now we have the line clock clock , clock , counter , counter counter .

Now we have the cross .

Now we happen to also have all of the pieces um with the yellow facing up , but they're all in the wrong place .

What we are worried about right now is the cross .

Let's find a way to at least have two of uh the pieces aligned in the cross .

So if we do this rotation , we've got orange and blue in the right place , which means we just need to fix these guys .

Now , this movement requires that you put the pieces that are in the correct place in northeast , ok .

If this were a compass , you're pointing northeast , put those there and then you're going to do this movement clock , clock , counter , clock , clock 1 80 back down .

And so when you rotate , they're all in the right place .

Now , let's go back to that .

When I say clock clock counter clock clock 1 80 we're only working with this face and this face with , there are two pieces that are in the right place here .

So clock , clock , counter , clock , clock 1 80 then put everything in its place .

So now we've got all of our pieces matched up .

And the next thing to look at is the corner pieces .

It appears that none of them are in the right place .

So what I'm going to do is a movement called off with her head .

You're gonna pull this back like a slingshot and shoot this up and say off of their head , shoot up the sister who comes the defender off of their head , shoot it back down , put the head back on and back down .

Now , what did we do ?

We moved a few pieces around and we managed to get this one in the right place , brown rotation , but it's in the right place , which is what we care about .

Now , this one is in the right place .

We have three more to deal with .

What we're gonna look at is either side of the safe piece , the piece that we want to make sure we don't move anymore .

Which one of those goes here in this case , it's gonna be this one .

So we wanna shot that guy over there .

What we're gonna do is pull back , protect this guy sling this guy forward off for their head , sling the sister forward to protect off of their head too .

This guy's heads back on going back down , head back on , going back down .

What did we do ?

This guy not only rotated for us , conveniently , we've got all the pieces in the right place , two of them are in the right rotation .

And now we're at the final step .

I love this step that when I did this for the first time when my sister was showing me , I was like , what just happened .

So this is called the hospital .

Our hospital corner will be this one .

It will not change .

And all we're gonna do is bring in the patients that are in the wrong rotation into the hospital until they get cured .

This is the movement counter , counter clock clock , same two faces the whole time , counter counter clock clock .

Ok ?

That guy's in the right place .

We've got a mess down here but we're not gonna let that distract us .

We're gonna bring in the next patient .

Ok ?

Don't move anything because it's all gonna autocorrect itself .

And here we go again .

Counter counter clock clock clock , counter counter clock clock .

Sometimes it takes more than two rotations .

So here we go counter counter clock clock and it's gonna be one more counter counter clock clock and there it is survey .
