  • WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez learned to solve a Rubik's cube from Tyson Mao, one of the co-founders of the World Cube Association. In two weeks, Robbie got his solve time down from 45 minutes with Tyson, to 20 minutes on his own, to under a minute on average. Learn his 8-step method here.

I checked out a bunch of other videos before this and this is by far the best. The others can’t seem to resist showing off and the ego is distracting. They may be good but this one is clearly articulated. Thank you so much.

      @weirdkid The white sticker should have never been there. It can either be a center piece (impossible because the white center is opposite the yellow) or an edge piece (we made the daisy and the cross to prevent this).
      If your cube exibits such symptoms, try again.

      I’m actually slow though. I average sub-20 & I did my first solve on Sat/10/01/2016 (it was only sub-5 minutes, but that was slow because sub-3 is normal, which was my 2nd solve), I was finally sub-20 on Wed/11/20/2019, and I’m still sub-20 now.

Then, I totally stopped practicing and forgot how to do it! I rewatched this video and it literally came back to me like riding a bike! Super awesome and helpful video and with some practice, you really pick it up fast! I was so proud of myself the first time I solved it, I had to show my friends! Haha! Thanks for your help; I never could have done it without this video. I love doing this for fun now and it only takes me a few minutes to solve it. I am in no way an expert or the fastest, but I can solve it and that’s enough for me!

      Your cube is unsolvable in its current configuration. You must take out an offending piece and flip it so that you have a solvable case; or swap stickers if you can't remove a piece.

      Jivan Pal can I just change all the stickers so the same colors are on the same face?

    • @JivanPal
      @JivanPal Před 4 lety +3

      @@1dogissky, you can, but then you have to peel off many stickers, and they tend not to be that sticky, so you'll probably end up with stickers that don't stay on afterwards; or too sticky, so that you end up with ripped stickers. Better to take the cube apart. It's very easy - turn a face 45°, then pop out one of that face's edges, and the rest comes apart relatively easily.

    omg I solved my first cube!!! It definitely took forever bc I kept getting confused on CCW and CW, but after redoing the white phase around 5 times to start over, I did it. Kudos to myself and this is a wonderful tutorial.

    Wired: "You'll never have 3 yellow corner pieces, it'll either be 0, 1 or 2"
    Me: *has 3 yellow corner pieces*

    • @johnl.2173
      @johnl.2173 Před 4 lety +12

      You heard it wrong, he says you'll never *have* 3... not that you'll never be missing 3. Missing 3 means you have 0 which fits the algorithm. Correct this and you should be good to go.

    This is a much better tutorial than the 12-15 min ones. It uses smaller sub algorithms rather than make you memorize the long sequences.
