What you'll learn

  • You will learn everything you need to do to solve the cube.
  • You will learn how the cube fits together.
  • Everyone will be able to solve the cube eventually by following the instructions.
  • Most will be able to solve the cube in less than 10 minutes every time without instructions
  • Some will be able to solve the cube in about 2 minutes every time without instructions
  • You will learn how to take the cube apart and put it back together if you really need to

    There are 5 steps, feel free to skip forward to the part that you need:

    1. Top Cross

    2. Top Corners

    3. Middle Layer

    4. Bottom Cross

    5. Bottom Corners

  • How the Cube moves6:27

    If you ARE reading Rubiks cube notation (more info at ruwix.com/the-rubiks-cube/notation ). Whilst I said we don't need to use the notation for this method, I have included the "Algorithm" notation for each move that we use, so that you can easily refer back to them whenever you need to.

    So the way we refer to the different parts of the cube are as follows:

    • F - Front of the Cube

    • B - Back of the Cube

    • R - Right side of the Cube

    • L - Left side of the Cube

    • U - Top layer (Upside) of the Cube

    • D - Bottom (Downside) Layer of the Cube

    A single letter by itself refers to a clockwise face rotation in 90 degrees (quarter turn):

    F B R L U D

    A letter followed by an apostrophe means to turn that face counterclockwise 90 degrees:

    F' B' R' L' U' D'

    A letter with the number 2 after it marks a double turn (180 degrees):

    F2 B2 R2 L2 U2 D2

    To make the moves we use here easier to follow, I also use the cube rotation notation Y and Y' to show a cube rotation to the  right or left.

    • Y is a rotation of the cube to the right (clockwise around the vertical axis)

    • Y' is a rotation of the cube to the left (anti-clockwise around the vertical axis)

    I will show a regular version of the Algorithm AND one including the Y and Y' rotations where necessary.

  • Cube Movement Notation - useful for reading the moves written down (Algorithms)0:54
  • Looking inside the Cube10:10

Requirements

  • You will need to own a Rubiks cube (or similar) but you do not need to know anything about how to solve the cube.

Description

A very easy way to learn how to do the Rubiks cube without having to learn complex Algorithms. I teach you how the cube works, and use eight very basic movements (based on 3 simple 4 step sequences) to help you easily solve the cube. With some practice most people should easily be able to complete the cube in 5-10 minutes using my method without having to refer back to the notes or videos.

I do provide the algorithms if you feel you need them, but honestly, I find them confusing and hard to remember, but the method I teach should just make sense and should be easy to remember.

It is obviously not the fastest way to do the cube and it's not even the same as the "beginners" method (although it is very similar) and my 5 solve average record using this exact method is 70 seconds and my personal 'lucky' record is 42 seconds!!!

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to learn how to solve the Rubiks Cube without learning long algorithms.
