Tutorial is very easy to understand, however I have run into a problem.
My top corner are not oriented correctly and as such I can't continue the solve. Is there a way to get the top corners oriented? I have watched the tutorial several times but see no way to get it fixed.
Maaaaany thanks for this walkthrough! I still don't know what I'm doing when making all 4 corners "white" on the top, but somehow I did something that solved it. The rest of the tutorial was really great explained and the cube solved itself magically. =)
on the alg. for the bottom layer corners i have it on the top. how do i fix that? the corners on the botom are all right but the 2 corners on the top layer need to be switched. will the algorithm work if i just turn the cube upside down? please help. thanks:) great tutorial by the way:)

I have all the top layer solved (white), all the red side solved, and all of the middle solved. But on the bottom layer, the Blue/Orange corner and the Yellow/Orange layer need switched. Also the Blue/Green edge piece and the Yellow/Green edge piece need switched. Can you help?
I have all of the corners correct on the top and bottom but on the top,the front and the right edge need to be switched,and the left and the back edges need to be switched.
On the bottom:The same thing but the FRONT edge needs to go to the BACK and the RIGHT edge needs to go to the FRONT.
The LEFT edge needs to go to the RIGHT,and the BACK edge needs to go to the LEFT.
@Rufus1709 Thanks for the clear description of your case! Lets call front F, right R, back B and left L from here on. The alg in this video that swaps edges (not parity, the other one) swaps R and B on the top and R and B on the bottom. All you have to do is swap two edges at a time on top, and two more on the bottom. For your case you should only need to do this twice. I do a sort of past example of how to do an F R, B L swap in the video. Solving edges is a multistage process.
Ok so i have been trying to solve this on my own and i'm pretty close but i have three corners that need to be oriented is there an algorithom for that? (think corner orientaion on a rubiks cube)
@Dart5567 My understanding of "orientation" is probably a little different from yours. Corners cant be twisted in place like on a 3x3x3, but they can be in the wrong layer (maybe this is what you mean). The answer to your question is yes, there is an algorithm to fix your case but you'd probably have to generate it yourself :P
@Dart5567 It's a lot more efficient to solve the corners before the edges. I personally don't know an algorithm that does a perfect 3-corner cycle. Have you watched this video?
@ImHassle You're welcome. I'm at University, so I don't have much free time to practice. However, I do take time to run a Rubik's Cube Club at my school and attend all the local cubing competitions.
the point of a tutorial is to show how to do it, not state that some people are lazy and say that u can do it on your own, i figured it out but that is so dumb you would do that
@notPUZZLEDup Use the parity alg that he gives you. If you have parity on top, use the parity alg, then you should have a regular edge cycle. If it's on the bottom do /(6,6)/ then do the parity alg, then do /(6,6)/ again and you should have an edge cycle on the bottom that you can solve. Also for the edge cycle be sure to switch the two edges correctly so you don't get the parity case where the two edges are across from each other, should I make a video response to this?
What do you do when you have 2 adjacent edges on one layer and everything else is solved? I tried the parity alg and got a u perm, but when I tried to solve it I couldn't because I had parity again. Help?
OMG I HATE HOW WHEN LIKE THERES FRIGGEN 6 EDGES THAT ARENT PERMUTED AHH!!!! AND WHY THE HELL IS THE PARITY ALG SOOO EFFING LONG!!! AHHH !!! still great tutorial btw. i quit thrawst
I do like this solution but it isn't the greatest, because there are a few things it doesn't address like what do to if the top layer edges aren't solved or if i have parity on the bottom, along with other;. But thanks anyways.
Thank you so much! I just bought a square-1 and I have always been fascinated by this puzzle (even though i had no idea how to solve it.) This tutorial has helped a lot, and I really appreciate you making this. Thanks a ton :)
Can you make a tutorial on how to solve the Super Square 1. I know it is supposed to be the same sort of way to solve as a square 1, but I was stupid and ordered a super square 1 first and haven't solved a regular square 1 before. Could you make a tut on the super square 1 algorithoms.
@LynchStudios8 Yeah, bad move. This might be hard to visualize, but challenge yourself. A Super Square-1 is just two Square-1's. First you solve the middle two layers, that's your first Square-1. Those two middle layers can then be treated as one layer, and you just have a normal Square-1, which is the second Square-1to solve. I imagine you can solve a Rubik's Cube, and probably a few other puzzles, so it shouldn't be too bad, challenging yourself is good.
Yeah thx 4 ur info now i finaly got this "cube" solved buth my times are kinda 1:20 do u meaby know a good internet side where are more alg. that prenumerate edges faster (couse u can get planty of other cases that i think u can solve faster with other alg.)
Would be the best tutorial on youtube but I got frustrated with the explanation of the notation. You never said that a corner equals two and not one like an edge.
Great tutorial! I've faced one problem. How to permute the top layer corner? The algo in step 4 is permuting the bottom 2 corners...what about top? Thanks =)
That should move the top layer to the bottom. The only problem is that you may have to repeat that algo right at the end when the two complete centre faces (The removable ones) are switched.
I teach how to do algorithms, how to recognize cases and how to approach steps.
I don't baby people, but of course the moment one gives another the benefit of the doubt, one is subject to complaints from those too lazy to either use simple problem solving, or do a little extra research (not that this is even remotely necessary).
If you think that thinking is overrated, PLEASE make your own tutorial(s) for the section(s) of this video that displease you and RSVP to this video.
Do the parity alg and then use the step 5 alg to solve the edges intuitively. EVERY parity case can be solved with ANY parity alg (plus some other non-parity alg(s)).
What I don't get is for step 4, how do you rearrange the top layers corners? sometimes when i try to flip the cube upside down to do the top layer corner, the middle layer doesnt have the small piece on the left, it has the longer one.
You should arrange the top layer corners in step 2 when you are moving the corners to their correct layers. Turn on annotations and watch part 2 again.
i Didn't want to offence you or something, i like long hair, but i wanted to tell 2 other groups of people with long hair, other than some gay people (nothing wrong with them!).
I kinda tried to "defence" you ;-)
Thanks for this tutorial, i can solve the square 1 now, only the parity algorithm is hard to remember!
There is no such thing as "corner orientation" on a Square-1. Sometimes the separation step is referred to as orientation, but I think you might be referring to permutation? If you do mean "permuted" and not "oriented", watch step 2 again with annotations turned on. I give a few tips. If I've completely misunderstood you, message me with a more detailed description of your problem or something.
my case for the edges are the same as the 3 cycle. i don't understand how to use the algortihms because my middle layer is sticking out and the side which is supposed to be facing me has the one straight line that can't be moved. please help anyone..thanks!
The middle layer doesn't have to be square for you to go on with the solve. For a 3-cycle, use the edges alg twice (once to turn it into a double adjacent swap and again to solve that case). Use intuition.
Use the parity to set up another case that can be solved with the other edge permutation algorithm from step 5. It will probably not be the exact case in step 5, but if you use that alg a few times it will work.
I just got a new video response to this tutorial of someone doing a sub-60 solve with this method. I got down to about a 45 average using this method plus only two more algs that I just figured out on my own :P
did you get it already? :) did you order from puzzleproz? i ordered one from them last night but i still didn't receive the email about the tracking number :( but it's ok i'm just excited to get it..and i have to get it before june because i'll be leaving the U.S. after that and not be coming back for 3 months! Lol
do you know where I can get extra algs for this (to solve it faster without repeating the same alg a bunch of times)? Trying to break the minute barrier but I'm having trouble so learning algs seems like the most practical solution.
Hmm... thanks! those are long edge algs... oh well, I learned the corners using the method on his site =D and I got my first sub 50 average of 5 today! I broke sub minute yesterday. Making good progress.
i tryed to use your algs. but when i try do to the 3th step the (0,-3)/(0.-3) the second one is impossible to do? i do something wrong but i don't know what plz help
No way! These are some of the better ones. There is a reduced parity, but it does a 4-cycle instead of an opposite swap. I figured that might confuse beginners.
Messed up my cube because of step 2 :/

johndoe200464 2 years ago
Make two groups of 4 edges, put one on top and one on the bottom, then do a 90 degree twist of the equator. Play around with it, you'll get it :)

Gah! If youtube didn't have to buffer so slowly I would watch this. :Frowny face.:

how come i cant get the top corners oriented? but i have the bottom already oriented
soccerz560 2 years ago
There is no such thing as "corner orientation" on a Square-1. Sometimes the separation step is referred to as orientation, but I think you might be referring to permutation? If you do mean "permuted" and not "oriented", watch step 2 again with annotations turned on. I give a few tips. If I've completely misunderstood you, message me with a more detailed description of your problem or something.

did you say acid cube?
concretecubes 2 years ago
Yes, I did.

nice.

does your square-1 lock up in some parts? mine does and i can't turn it other ways.. if anyone knows how to fix this, please help
acanofpaint 2 years ago
its not supposed to be able to turn along all the axes. you have to turn the middle layer to change the way the right/front face turns.
KrYp7on1t3 2 years ago
my case for the edges are the same as the 3 cycle. i don't understand how to use the algortihms because my middle layer is sticking out and the side which is supposed to be facing me has the one straight line that can't be moved. please help anyone..thanks!
acanofpaint 2 years ago
The middle layer doesn't have to be square for you to go on with the solve. For a 3-cycle, use the edges alg twice (once to turn it into a double adjacent swap and again to solve that case). Use intuition.

ok i'll try to figure it out! thanks emile! genius tutorial :)

Is there a faster way to get it to cube formation? I seem to be really inconsistant at that....
flickyklicky 2 years ago
This is without a doubt the fastest beginners method. Practice and learning new cases will yield faster times.
elimescube 2 years ago
It's not speed I need (i'm the guy who posted the sub 60 vid) but consistency... but I guess I'll just work on it =D
flickyklicky 2 years ago
sorry but if my parity is right and back edges can I use the identical parity algorithm?or qhat I have to do?
skrew86 2 years ago
Use the parity to set up another case that can be solved with the other edge permutation algorithm from step 5. It will probably not be the exact case in step 5, but if you use that alg a few times it will work.
elimescube 2 years ago
ok thanks :D!
PS: with this method can you stay sub a minute?
skrew86 2 years ago
I just got a new video response to this tutorial of someone doing a sub-60 solve with this method. I got down to about a 45 average using this method plus only two more algs that I just figured out on my own :P
elimescube 2 years ago
yes... I learned this method and I'm at a 55 seecond average.

Thanks Emile...
I tried a Sq-1 yesterday at the competition and couldn't solve it, my Sq-1 SHOULD arrive tomorrow...
You did a really good job explaining everything, and I think I should be able to do very well with what you explained to me =)

did you get it already? :) did you order from puzzleproz? i ordered one from them last night but i still didn't receive the email about the tracking number :( but it's ok i'm just excited to get it..and i have to get it before june because i'll be leaving the U.S. after that and not be coming back for 3 months! Lol
acanofpaint 2 years ago
do you know where I can get extra algs for this (to solve it faster without repeating the same alg a bunch of times)? Trying to break the minute barrier but I'm having trouble so learning algs seems like the most practical solution.
flickyklicky 2 years ago
Good Call :)
Check out Lar's Vandenbergh's CUbeZone.
elimescube 2 years ago
Hmm... thanks! those are long edge algs... oh well, I learned the corners using the method on his site =D and I got my first sub 50 average of 5 today! I broke sub minute yesterday. Making good progress.

is that 1 harder that a 3x3x3?
frugoo420 2 years ago
I wouldn't say harder, but think of it as an entirely new puzzle that has nothing to do (solution wise) with the 3x3x3

thank you so much. this helped a lot. in my opinion this is better that thrawsts tutorial.

when im trying to solve it, how come my top corners dont look like yours
soccerz560 2 years ago
Because I use the original Square-1 colour scheme and you use one of the the American colour schemes.

you sound weird

i tryed to use your algs. but when i try do to the 3th step the (0,-3)/(0.-3) the second one is impossible to do? i do something wrong but i don't know what plz help

man those algorithms are just long and nasty
pyromaniac2549 2 years ago
No way! These are some of the better ones. There is a reduced parity, but it does a 4-cycle instead of an opposite swap. I figured that might confuse beginners.
