Andy Klise's Sq-1 guide www.kungfoomanchu.com/guides/a...
SUMMARY OF EACH STEP
📙 Step 1: Get the square-1 into cube shape. "Millennium falcon" ➡️ scallop/scallop ➡️ barrel/barrel ➡️ kite/kite ➡️ cube.
📙 Step 2a: Orient the corners so all the yellow (or black) corners are on top and all the white corners are on the bottom. This can be done intuitively. Just make sure you misalign the top or bottom by 1 when slicing so that you retain cube shape.
📙 Step 2b: Orient the edges so that the top is completely yellow (or black) and the bottom is completely white.
(Optional step: If you can recognise that you will get parity, perform the "mid solve" parity alg here)
📙 Step 3a: Permute the corners so that they're all in the correct positions and only the edges need fixing. There are 6 possible cases here: diag/diag, adj/diag, adj/adj, adj/solve, diag/solved, and fully solved.
📙 Step 3b: Permute the edges using the magical adj/adj edge algorithm! Almost every case can be solved by using this alg several times. 50% of the time, the cube will be solved here! If you still have 2 edges that cannot by solved, perform the super yucky adjacent parity alg. THE END!
ALL ALGORITHMS MENTIONED IN VIDEO
- EO swap 1 edge from top to bottom: (0,-1) / (-3,0) / (4,1) / (-4,-1) / (3,0) / (0,1)
- M2: (1,0) / (-1,-1) / (0,1)
- "Mid solve" parity alg: / (3,3) / (1,0) / (4,-2) / (-4,2) / (-1,0) / (-3,-3)
- Swap top and bottom layers: / (6,6) /
- CP Diag/diag: / (3,-3) / (-3,3) /
- CP Adj/diag: / (3,0) / (-3,0) / (3,0) / (-3,0) (Headlights on left. Do the "3" moves to whichever layer has diag)
- CP Adj/adj: / (-3,0) / (3,3) / (0,-3) / (Headlights at the back. Frère Jacques)
- CP Adj/solved: / (3,-3) / (3,0) / (-3,0) / (0,3) / (-3,0) / (Headlights at back)
- CP Diag/solved: / (3,3) / (3,0) / (3,3) / (3,0) / (3,3) /
- The Magical Adj/Adj Edge Algorithm! (1,0) / (0,3) / (-1,-1) / (1,-2) / (-1,0)
- M2 EP algorithm: (0,-1) / (1,1) / (-1,0)
- Equator flip alg: / (6,0) / (6/0) / (6,0) /
- Parity alg (if you have 2 edges at the very end): / (-3,0) / (0,3) / (0,-3) / (0,3) / (2,0) / (0,2) / (-2,0) / (4,0) / (0,-2) / (0,2) / (-1,4) / (0,-3) / (0,3)

Thank god I literally just ordered a square 1 and JPerm doesn’t have a tutorial on it.
J perm doesn't do square-1 lol, there are a lot of good tutorials including (I'm sure) Tingman, Z3cubing, Cube Master (most underated square-1 channel IMO but quite advanced) and more.
@Albert’s Universe he "knows"
He's figured it out himself and solved it like a few times, enough to be able to solve it, but it would be extremely inefficient to teach this to others, most of whom probably have far less cube knowledge than J Perm.
Solving a square 1 without help traumatized J perm lmao. Actually, I've never seen him enjoying anything else other than nxns and 3bld lol
You and I think alike. “Millennium Falcon” is exactly what I said right before you said it.
@@Sphyraminx I thought “horseshoe” lol
im still confused, also half of your views are from me
this is my top comment with only 7 likes? lemme fix that

thank you for this
im learning squan and i was trying to write down the algs
this really helped
this is very helpful
Thanks
Thank you this was very useful, but how do you do the time thing, i really want to know but could not find out!
there are chapters, you know that right?
What I really like about your channel is that you tag other cubing channels with no hesitation ton help the viewers of your videos cube better, I honestly think that every cubing channel should adopt this mindset as it will only grow the cubing community if anything. Thanks for the awesome videos!!!😉
Ye tru
Hey wanna be here?
amazing

Hi I’m a big fan what is your favourite WCA puzzle that’s not NxN
Can you do 3x3 crop tutorial I’ve been trying to learn it
What square 1 should I buy?
@@theneoncuber9563 som Fromm Amazon there good and cheep
99.9k subs
you’re not the only one who regularly forgets the method
edit: ok this is the best square-1 tutorial on youtube
I love learning this after learning other cubes, it makes it make so much more sense than it used to
me: literally has the best square 1 on the market and doesnt know how to solve it
which one do you have
@@sokol9384 its the X-Man Volt V2 M or the Yuxin Little Magic.
i have the volt
@@benjaminxiao2352 Yeah, the volt is what I have, and it is good.
I bought the X-man Volt 2 as well and have no clue how to solve. 🤣
THANK YOU SO MUCH. You dont understand how much this helped me. Ive been putting it off for almost 6 months and this video was perfect. Super easy to understand and the relief I felt when I did the last few turns and saw the cube being solved. Thanks so, so so much.
Me: knows how to solve Square-1
Also me: watches it twice
His voice and the music
THIS IS SO FKING RELAXING

6:20 I really think you should teach scallop kite here. It’s another one of the most intuitive shapes to make and only needs 3 slices to be solved. If you take the bottom two edges to the left, and bring the 2 single edges down on the right leaving the 4 on top to leave scallop, you’ll have scallop kite which goes to fist fist, kite kite, cube shape
Yup, agree, but I felt that 36 minutes was long enough for a first video!
Thank you so much for posting this, I bought my brother a square one not knowing that he didn't enjoy them, so I ended up with it. Up until that point I had never considered getting a square one for myself, and thanks to you and this video I can now solve a square one with very little help. The algorithms are odd to me because I know regular cubes (3x3, 4x4, 5x5, and variations of them), so getting used to slashes is a little bit interesting but fun regardless. I never thought that I would enjoy solving a square one and enjoy scrambling it so much, I highly recommend it to anybody that wants a challenge.
This is the first Square-1 tutorial that I've watched that has made me actually want to dig my Square-1 out from the bottom of my bin of cubes and learn to solve it for real
CONGRATZ ON 100K!!!, HOPE TO SEE MORE OF YOUR AMAZING CONTENT IN THE FUTURE 🙂🙃🙂
Thanks tingman! Did a couple of solves without referring to the vid in just one day! Super easy to follow 😊😊
This is officially the best sq1 tutorial ever
EXACTLY
OHMYGOSH this tutorial is so good! I tried another one that used conventional teaching methods but dang just using the shapes to make the cubes is so much easier. Thank you for existing
Thank you so much for this, you made this seem so clear and easy
After owning a square 1 for years but not learning it this finally pushed me to do it. Amazing video!
Bot
@@jamiecubes016 yeah bc a bot would upload vids😂
Now this is what I want . But I have to mirror the video
I literally just got my square-1 yesterday, and I can already solve it by memory thanks to this tutorial. Thank you!
what do u perm and z perm mean?
@@zanmolecules4105 A u perm is an algorithm on three by three that swaps three edges around, and a z perm is another algorithm that swaps four edges around.
@@cirrus806 ok thanks, that was the one thing keeping me from solving this
ive been putting this off for a while but recently ive had more free time so im putting my square-1 to use. appreciate the clear instructions and tips!
Finally got it back to cube after like 30 years after my sister scrambled it. Thank you so much for the tips! Rotational puzzles are hard for me to make sense of. This helped me stop thinking of the weird shapes and more how the top and bottom layers can work like 3x3.
I don’t own a square 1 but I watched the whole video and you explained it perfectly. Anyone could definitely learn very easily from this vid! Awesome man!
Thank you!
@@Tingman also the way you explained the algs is very good. Very close to the memorization techniques that I use and I’m sure many other people memorize like that as well
But i cant
Wow,when you did the video on you solving the square-1 I didn’t know how to solve it and three months after that I became sub-20 on square-1!
Who else has watched square shape and just practiced it like a hundred times because it’s a nightmare
Me
This is the first time I've seen a square 1 and it looks like a really great puzzle
tingman: forgets for the 3rd time
me: whatever *breaks square-1 and assembles it*
also me: i solved it
sounds like me
Hey Tingman , can you make a tutorial on how to solve a 5x5 , I have been struggling to find a good one.
J perm have
5x5 is easy, you dont even need a tutorial except for parity
The part I don't know is edge pairing
@@yonghaohuang4243 well here's a link to a good tutorial. Skip to 4 minutes for the edge pairing part czcams.com/video/d1I-jJlVwB4/video.html
@@sebasloera1344 where??
When you taught us square 1 notation, it felt like we were learning math lmao
Thank you so much!
I just did my first squan solve today.
The best squan tutorial on youtube!
I just got my YLM square 1 and did a solve! It took me 2 hours thanks to you Tingman!
me who cant even buy a square-1
youtube: hey wanna see how to solve square -1
me: yea why not 😌
I’ll buy u one
@@y88tr82 thx bro
tingman said uh oh right after my cube popped lol
Ive always liked solving different rubiks cubes for the actual puzzle part and not the speed part. But it would always get to the point where I just memorized all the algorithms and it wasnt a puzzle anymore. However, I found this little beauty of a cube, and I love it.
Same here. I keep ordering more cubes and I enjoy mastering them but I can't get the struggle of the first solve anymore. When I blasted through a 6x6 wi5h parity on my first try straight from the Amazon package I order square1, 2, 0, skewb, and I'm not sure what's next
I like how the title says “Explained as clear as possible”
I honestly tried my best!
Its tingman
Hey can you reply tingman
He is a pro professor lol
@@Tingman Hey Tingman! Ita better than me at least!
Wow this is a long but detailed tutorial! Well done ting man and also I hope u can get to 100k subs soon so does that mean GIVEAWAY!!!!,!
This is such a good video! I never thought I would be able to do this!
I’m coming back from a long time without cubing and this video helped me remember everything again
This is too much coincidence... I just ordered one yesterday 😂
This is explained soooo clearly i love this tutorial
best video ever. i spent 3 hours last night figuring out this square 1 and from watching ur video a few times i learned the algs really quickly and i just solved it , i had to watch ur vid cuz jperm hasn’t put one up but if i get stuck solving it again i know where to find u
I LOVED YOUR FIRST SQUARE 1 VIDEO! NOW THERES A SECOND?!! YESSS
Dude I literally just got one because of you I already know how to solve it because of other tutorials but lm still going to watch just cuz much love ❤️
Also for anyone wondering little magic sq1 is amazing
@@cthebeastyt5107 ok thanks I was wondering what sq-1 to get
@@internetchocolate6733 no problem
Tingman is now the only channel I trust besides j perm
That Frere Jacques mnemonic is great, I just can't forget that alg now, it was really useful! (btw, the musical term for that kind of overlapping repetition is canon)
this was everything i needed! thank you tingman!
He reached 100k at the same day jperm reached 500k
Good job Bro!
I hope you reach 200k later.
You are very good at teaching sq1, it’s the best sq1 tutorial on youtube!
Thanks for the help tingman. It took me about 3-4 hours to solve it the first time with your help. But when I did my second solve I solved it in under five minutes thanks to your help!
Finally a sq-1 tutorial that I can understand❤️. Thanks for this!
Btw: congrats for the almost 100k subs, you diserve it!
Thank you!
what does u perm and z perm mean?
@@zanmolecules4105 PLLs on NxN cubes
This tutorial is SUPER HELPFUL! A year ago I was trying to follow a bad sq1 tutorial, but now I found this one! I'M SO HAPPY (I'm sub 1 w this)
I was listening to what you were saying and randomly turning my square-1 and ended up getting kite/kite :p
Luck
I couldnt bet kite/kite so i looked up online all the algorithms for the square-1 cases and i saw a case so i tried to get my square-1 to that case but ended up accidentally turning it into a cube
@@tres-2b299 Lol
NO ONE has made a Squan tutorial this clear and concise; thank you soooo much, Tingman!
Edit: You make some of the best tutorials!
Do you know what a U perm and Z perm are? Because that’s the only thing keeping me from solving this
@@zanmolecules4105If you know beginner pll, you will know what they are, but if not a Ua perm is like swapping 3 edges clockwise and Ub perm is swapping 3 edges counter clockwise and a Z perm is like swapping 4 edges that are not opposite edges.
Squan?
That was awesome! Thank You!
Getting the Falcon done to get the square was the hardest step for me!
I spent like 5 months trying to solve it and I finally did because of this video don’t give up!!
Personally the square one has always interested me not just because of how it turns but also the notation and I finally finished solving it after the course of a entire week with the help of your vid and the PDF. Thanks so much! :D
From 88,000 subs to 100,000subs what a speed!!

Thank you Tingman! I got a square one for Christmas and you helped me solve it for the first time! This video was so clear, so again, thank you so much!
I can't believe I just spent 3 hours on the Square-1 just to mess it up and spend another hour to fix that.... but thank you, Tingman. You saved my another 5 hours of struggling
You are a god my friend. I always struggled with cube shape but you explain it so simply and easily. Thank you so much. 😊😊😊
Love this tutorial! Finally you make the Andy Kise algs work for me. Interestingly this is because you don't follow them exactly, but you fix them as you demo them. For instance, the CP Diag/Diag case, Andy writes it as /(3,-3)/(3,-3)/ (which doesn't work) but you do it as /(-3,3)/(3,-3)/ (which does work). There are other examples as well. Thank you so much for this!
Agree with this!!!!!!
I honestly never thought I’d be able to memorise that last parity Alg, thanks for the excellent visualisation method/breakdown Tingman!
Amazing video, had the square 1 for like 50 years, but couldn’t solve it, now in just under an hour I solved it. Thanks a lot
omg i had a square one just laying around scrambled and i watched this tutorial, and it makes sooo much sense, i cant take my hands off of square one now! thank you tingman
Thank you so much Tingman! This video has really helped me learn Square-1 and I just got a new PB of 47.813

Thanks Tingman this video is the best tutorial for beginners. Maybe better for people who know how to solve 3×3. But still very helpful.
Thanks Tingman 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
My square 1 just arrived today, and my favourite alg is actually the adjacent edge parity alg! It's the 1st one I seemed to pick up really quickly. Your memorisation technique really helped me with that.
same but it was today not 3 months ago lol

Thank you soo much for making it THIS easy! I learned it from you before and as you said in the starting of the video, i forgot how to solve it :) coming back to this video made it even easy!!! Thank youu once again!
Thank you so much tingman i am from the uk and love your vids i have spent over 3 weeks tying to solve this devil of a cube you are what inspired me hope you all way keep making vids love you xxxxxxxxxx
you are absoultely amazing!!!! other cubers arent interested at sq1 or poorly explains it, but you are totally different
Tingman thanks ! I forgot the parity algorithm and was not able to learn it again but your idea of bunch of 3s and then 2s worked . Thanks a lot .
i couldn't find any square one tutorial that fully breaks down into steps and also it me one day to fully remembered 13 slashes algorithm
this helped soo much!! love your videos tingman
Am shocked I didn't think it would be that easy for me it took me 2 days so thank you tingman!
