  • There are a lot of mistakes that are very common for cubers to make in their solves. In this video, I'll go over the worst of those mistakes, and how to fix them. Fixing these mistakes is CRUCIAL to improving if you're a beginner or intermediate solver, so realizing that you make these mistakes and then fixing them is a key step in the process of improving. If you want to know how to get faster at cubing, this is the right video to watch!
    Note: this video is very CFOP centric and oriented towards beginner and intermediate solvers

    5. Poor turning - guilty, not sure how to improve. Guess I can start by watching what you do there at 0.25x. But I'm not looking forward to any D moves, let alone pushes (shiver).
    4. F2L tunnel vision - not guilty.
    3. Not using inspection well - not guilty, but I have a different problem: I could spend 30 sec and still not be able to fully plan the cross in some cases.
    2. Cube rotating too much - guilty. I mainly cube rotate to look for pieces. I knew the edge orientation identification, however there are 1 or 2 cases where the edge is oriented but it takes either a horrific number of moves or F/B turns and stuff to solve the pair without cube rotations.
    1. Inefficient F2L - somewhat guilty. I definitely don't know how to use different F2L solutions for the same case. But I think I mainly struggle with a) finding pieces and b) quickly figuring out how to solve them.

    As an educator, this video demonstrates a ton to consider when providing advice to others but most of all it begins for a formal definitions of what precisely is being done, mathematically, when working a 3x3.
    Brody, as you continue your work its very clear to me that the mathematical content will be the next step in your evolution as a content creator with regards to the cubing community.
    Hopefully your progress and success as a creator takes you to new places that everyone is very excited to learn from and with you during your journey.
