How to Solve the Skewb: Using Monkeydude1313's 1-Algorithm Method

[yorgle]

This is awesome. Really.  Nice job on explaining and showing it all. :D

[etninjas]

Can you make one for the golden cube

[1997benny]

you have a weird voice...

[cute5354]

where did you get those hexagonal dipyramids in the back?

[MonoDokimes]

Can you apply this method to a Hex Skewb?

[powerofthecube]

Tumbs up if you noticed that there is no anotation at 7:47.

BTW monkeydude, ur awesome

[purplethig1998]

do you cut your own sticker for some of your puzzles?

[TheColourTheory]

Ty so much :D

[iseldoff]

I need help I have just 2center pieces that need to be swapped all the others are solve and no matter how many times I do that algorithm it never solves it and I know I never took it apart before cuz I don't know how

[kenny59186]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE AWESOME TUTORIAL,this is the easiest rubik's i have ever solved!!!!

[Coloradoski24]

Thanks for your great tutorial! I just ordered mine and can't wait to receive it!

[LakersBeast22]

Are you actually 32

[Weailand2006]

Hey man how about the tony fisher golden cube tutorial???

[Jenacazzuta91]

you save my life!

[diamondo30]

haha you're the biggest nerd i've ever seen XD

NERDY NERD is NERDY!

Why 1 base zerg all in?

can't even handle a walled in zerg XD haha XD

fail son

[monkeydude1313]

@diamondo30 I wasn't that Brotoss XD I love the publicity though, being mistaked for a noob troll brings me more viewers ^_^

[swamilive]

@monkeydude1313 Monkeydude is awesome, my friend :) I've been a cuber for a few years now and the ONLY puzzle that has given me difficulty is the Holey Tony Fisher Mefferts Skewb Thing, but I know how to solve it now because of this tutorial. If Monkeydude is a nerd, he's the coolest nerd out there :) Props to you, sir.

[Mamamusskacken]

Does anybody know a solutoin for the "rhombic diamond" i cant find it!!! :(  ( i am german the spelling could be wrong) ^^

[waloozer]

great video! it helped alot!

[asdfghjkl8611]

how do i do the third step if i only need to rotate one corner?

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@asdfghjkl8611 maybe just keep repeating the pattern.....or maybe you might have put the piece in the wrong way if it accidently fell apart on you, i've never had just 1 corner left.

[asdfghjkl8611]

@xxxslayerxxx666 yh the corner was in the wrong way round -__- thnx

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@asdfghjkl8611 no problem....i just got a rex cube, that shit is soooo hard, even with a tutorial! 0_o

[asdfghjkl8611]

@xxxslayerxxx666 never heard of it lol -__-

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@asdfghjkl8611 i thought it would be easy after seeing this because it has the same turning style, only difference is that when you make a turn there are 2 middle segments(and the slim middle piece) that turn with it....so it's basically a 3x3 version of this puzzle(you'd think that would make it easy, but the algorithms are much more complicated because the corner and edge pieces twist around the cube in a disorienting pattern, i'm sure the algorithms are the same but it's just 4 dimensional!

[asdfghjkl8611]

@xxxslayerxxx666 sounds complicated XD good luck :)

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@asdfghjkl8611 yep....the angle fluctuation cube is another monstrous beast, and the 3x3x7(not the rectangular designs, the one the size of a 3x3, except the top and bottom rows consist of three rows)

[asdfghjkl8611]

@xxxslayerxxx666 :o im glad im not too involved in the cube business to be honest!! :D

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@asdfghjkl8611 yeah, it can become a very expensive habit! lol.

[asdfghjkl8611]

@xxxslayerxxx666 im a drummer which can also become very expensive my kits probs worth £2000...

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@asdfghjkl8611 i drum too...and i find that it's only expensive if you want a flashy set, in most cases a bigger set means a less creative musician(of course unless you're terry bozzio or chris brien)....just listen to mark guiliana and zach hill, another good one is morgan agren but i wouldn't call his set small......you should type in clapping music with animation(i never thought i'd be able to memorize it, but now i can play it over ostinato's) and this /watch?v=nXjD8OOqyAE

[asdfghjkl8611]

@xxxslayerxxx666 i wouldnt call my set big though but it does sound amazing (its a pearl masters custom if youre wondering) and thnx for th links...

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@asdfghjkl8611 dude i don't know what you're talking about, that's a great set....i have a $300 set called "jam" i've never even heard of that company before.....but honestly the on set that has stood out the most for me are schleisman's, it's australian based so they cost a bit more if you're not in that country.....if i had to choose 2 other sets it would be the pearl vision series, or tama's limited edition bubinga wood set(i don't think they sell those anymore though lol)

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@asdfghjkl8611 what sort of heads do you got? i'm not sure how good aquarium is, but i've heard nothing but good things by so many people about their bass heads, and they are so sick...they can get that low end boom like a hydraulic head but they are way more dynamic! i've never actually tried the hydraulics(i think evans makes them)cause my teacher said that they are only super good if you just want as much bass as possible, i like bass, but i do like to change up the tuning every now and then!

[asdfghjkl8611]

@xxxslayerxxx666 i mainly use remo ambassador coated on snare and i think ambassador clear on toms...

yh ive also heard that aquarian produce amazing bass heads but i havent really tried them out...

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@asdfghjkl8611 eww...i remember buying those heads and i hated them, it sounded so dingy no matter how i tuned them, they're only useful for octobans cause the circumference is so small, so those thin heads make it sound much louder.....evans were the best heads i got so i've always stuck with them, my teacher said the ambassadors are mainly for latin music were you'd desire that loud ping....so if you are just playing rock or metal(or even jazz) get the evans with that metal tone control ring!

[xxxslayerxxx666]

@asdfghjkl8611 or if you want something radically different get the hydraulic series(i think evans makes them) type in "dave weckl, vinnie colaiuta, steve gadd" and the third one with the glasses is vinnie colaiuta and he's got hydraulic heads, they sound sick!

[asdfghjkl8611]

@xxxslayerxxx666 yh once my current heads wear out im thinking of completely re-heading my drums with evans... im not exactly sure what yet but my drum teacher uses them and they sound amazing :)

[Msn71097]

Great Tutorial !!  U

[jrlorenzen]

how would you solve a super skewb

[SeeDub43]

which skewb do you recommend?

[SeeDub43]

you can go to 7:54 to see the example solve

[SeeDub43]

i noticed you put stickers on you golden cube. that probably makes it a lot easier

[PuzzleS0lver]

what are those cubes that have purple and orange? stickers



[RizDub]

did you remove the ball bearings?

[GreatBritishCuber]

@RizDub yea i think he has a video on how to remove them aswell

[IPkedULolzzzzz]

for the love of god... please explain the notation. I don't understand where you are getting L and R from, they just look like random moves.

[powerofthecube]

@IPkedULolzzzzz its standard cubing notation

[Berntisso]

Yeah, I figured out how to the Skewb in 3 days!

[frenchboyhs]

can you show a demonstration on the golden cube also can you tell me where i can buy a golden cube

[frenchboyhs]

can you show a demonstration on the golden cube

[Rubiksmaster25]

Thanks MonkeyDude1313.

[Crazy56U]

Will this work on a Skewb Hex?

[certifiedwhiteninja]

How many possible permutations does a skewb have? I tried searching it, but found nothing.

[raouldikkaz]

thanks bro.you helped me alot :D

[DeeWeext]

The irregular cube, do a solve of that :o.. Cant find one on the net (Irregular is the one standard sized, with odd ones on top, and long/short squares on the side.

[1217Chewy]

When are you making the golden cube tutorial.

[StefVos]

Thanks, you made it very easy to understand and I got it in no-time. Thank you so much :)

[ChrisBirdisafaggot]

[1217Chewy]

Plaese make a tutorial on how to solve the golden cube i cant figure it out.

[ezarlol]

@TheBruiser012 Cube smith has stickers for the golden cube.

[asportkingSoF]

What skewb is that?

[R112233441]

Wat are your averages sir?

[Iskander299]

3rd step: rotate the corners by themselves, or cant you?

[Nickenike123]

Hello :) love your videos. i follow all your videos and i wondering where you buy all the sort of puzzles? Thanks :)

[miggpalmerrules]

i am having problems with the algorithm i dont know how to turn it for each move

[Bl00dnoob]

is ur name Chris Bird ?:) because then u its true u have the wr

[Bl00dnoob]

@monkeydude1313 Hi, Where did u buy ur skewb cube ? :D Your cube has a good colour skeme and turns smooth :)

[RubixTutorial01]

ive been waiting for a great skewb tutorial like this one :)

[tayrantian]

I alr noe how to solve the skewb but ur method is even better. amazing!

[Choirboy7895]

Very helpful. I already know how to solve the skewb, but I like your method. As always, great stuff!

[xbrandati0nx]

Whats the Skewb you use?

[yujonez74]

wait wait wait you have the world record for the Skewb?

[monkeydude1313]

@yujonez74 Yep

I do

Click the link at the end of the description.

[numcaps2]

@monkeydude1313 lolwut, skewb isnt official D:

[DeadEyeSprout]

How do I rotate just 3 centers on the 2nd step. like i have it to where a front and center is solved but i got 3 miss permutated

[monkeydude1313]

@DeadEyeSprout You do what I said in the video...

Continue using the algorithm to put the U face center into the correct spot until all of them are solved. Not hard.

[armadini14farts]

this is beautiful.

[stumpodeath]

Damn, now i have to get a skewb

[lorki3]

Awesome tutorial I'm gonna learn a skewb now.

[rodneywon]

[ThePuzzler96]

1 algorithm skewb tutorial!!!! Oh, its ten minutes long....

[monkeydude1313]

@ThePuzzler96 HEAVEN FORBID.

Don't watch it if you want to complain about how it's too long. I spent hours getting this ready for you guys, I'd like some positives please.

Bashing how long it is doesn't count.

[IPwnAllAndLeaveNone]

@monkeydude1313

10 minutes to completely show the steps is great, nice tut.

[oOBNOo]

@ThePuzzler96 Why the fuck would it be any shorter? It's a whole god damn tutorial.

[ThePuzzler96]

@oOBNOo Just swear your head off about why don't ya...

[jstyledipset]

@ThePuzzler96 so what if its ten minutes long lots of other tutruiols are longer

[a510592]
