How To Solve a Rubik's Cube Step 1 Solve the Upper Cross

[TheGreenHydrant]

nice video u made it soo easy

[09gamewalkthroughs]

very helpful

[Waksack]

This helped so much thanks, you're great

[nator267]

this step is really weird is really weird, why not just do this?

step 1: smash it with a hammer

step 2 use duck-tape to fix it, because duck-tape can fix everything

[abercrombie188]

WOW I DID IT

[abercrombie188]

im such an idiot

[imyourjoe]

nevermind i got it now

[imyourjoe]

dam.. im just to fucking stupid. Even with these simplistic monatone instructions i can not even get the cross

[andrecta92]

thanks man! after 30 min, and watching the video over and over, i did this part

[megacena1997]

i am confused??

[FanMileyCyrus16]

3:34 does NOT make the freaking cross!

[Gentlefist999]

HOLY DUCK FUCK! O_O

[rileybrereton98]

this was uploaded 4 days after my birthday!!!!!! it was great thnx

[rustedbicycle]

AWESOME !!! THANKYOUUUUU !!!! I'm moving over to part 2 now :)

[AASnDaniShayFan]

ldjsfdsjkdskjdsof dude like it got all 4 greens around that bluee , dude what you said still didnt work.. I THINK MY CUBE IS BROKEN

[OsamaBinLooney]

my solution to the rubics cuce is a ball peen hammer

[legomailman]

@OsamaBinLooney I remember one of my Dads solutions to this when he twisted it and the whole thing exploded into individual peices. He didn't even do it on purpose. It was easy to do the rubix cube then, the only problem was you couldnt use it afterwards.

[jasonaldeanqueen24]

I got my Rubiks cube from the dollar store, I didn't get no damn booklet!

[Megamarification]

this was VERY helpful easiest way 2 solve it thanks :D

[Emo7600]

O_O

[QwertyMandarin]

Hmmm i just peeled the stickers off and put new ones on :D

[benmary9]

@QwertyMandarin lolz cheater! ha ha just kidding that actully sounds like a good idea

[teddypsn]

And what happens when one of my edges has a blue on it and I can't rotate it to match because the blue is on top??

[Sabiancym]

@Sabiancym nvm...I was stupid.

How To Solve A Rubik Cube :

Take The Colors Off .

Replace Them To The RIGHT Side :)

[Xylugan2010]

POGOBAT SUCKS.. YOU'RE BETTER

[superstephanie101]

@Xylugan2010 TOTALLY AGREE! 

[yeoj211]

u describe it better than my friend.. even though he can do cube in 56 seconds :)

[gTbkRAzy10]

do the colors and patterns of your cube and my cube have to match up?

[antbdaman]

thanks for the 7 steps on how to solve a 3 by 3 but can you mke a video on how to solve a 4 by 4

[eddiebelfast]

Thankyou for your videos. I can now complete the cube every time. I kept getting caught on the last move, always came up with a mixed cube. I finally realised what I was doing, not completing the four moves. So, now on the final move I count them,one,two three and four.

Your videos are the best on youtube,( and I looked at most of them ) again , many thanks.

[sgtpippinful]

chuck norris solves the rubix cube by looking at it

[harryhas4242]

i can get green on one side but not red on the other = i failed step 1 :D my parents are so proud

[Realdude2011]

This is soooo helpful! Thanks man!

[swabss]

[botukasLT]

OMG i feel like you think im 3years old child, delete you videos, there is a lot better 1 tutorial

[mmiicc0]

What if my rubix cube colours aren't in the same place as yours to start with?

[BallPythonsRule]

@mmiicc0 trust me, it still works,...you just have to adapt the same ideas to where your colors are, but it will work for any scramble, I thought the same thing....lol

[utubetrollcopycat]

This is gay. God exists.

[TheQreative]

[frost2021]

I think I speak for a lot of people when i say .. Fuck the rubiks cube <_<

[pumpkinxcoo]

i can hear p!nk on in the back-ground am i right?

[MickaelFjaere]

Hi from Portugal, congrats on your tutorial! The best, I learned in one day how to solve the cube 3x3. Thanks ;)

You should do a tutorial for 4x4 and 5x5,... Why? Because your tutorial is very easy a clear to follow... ;) By the way, I just solved my new cube 4x4, but It wanst easy whatching other tutorials, but you did a great work with 3x3!

[IWatchVidsAndStuff]

29 people don't like the colour green....

[ryan02044]

Im not a dummy, dummy.

[9530094]

I DONT GET IT!!!!!!!!!!

[kitkatchick96]

you reeeeeeaaaally need to cut your fingernails....just saying

[1337inzock]

I have struggled with mine in 10years but I have an 4x4 and it's very hard

[zik689]

I am Polish and i bought my Rubik's cube in South Yorkshire, England and it came with no giude or booklet!

:(

[destucted101]

does one side need to be facing toward u the entire time???

[deathstarlover]

um my insturction booklet looks different.. is it still the same?

[royalsteven]

Ok, next video tutorial will be how to solve world peace -__-

[Fuzzy200929]

lol i aint no dummy i just cant figer out how to solze a rubicks cube

[MultiFelix123456]

thx dude

[rjsosteezy547]

dat shite really worked

[Gam3playa22]

cut your nails pleas i almost puked

[cyrus364]

OMGOODNESS FINALLY LOLS ...i forgot i used to have a rubix cube.. im still watching the vid hopefully ill get the jist of it soon thanks btw ^^

[pimpin111]

Easiest step one yet. You explain it very well unlike all the other nerds who just rush through it on Youtube.

[haydos271]

@yomamafirst This step was very easy...

[DXman099]

I was watching this and i was like "Fuck the rubiks cube" and threw it into a dark place in my closet. I know i'm going to trip on it one day.

[ghostly0guitarist]

this is an easy tut. thnx

[tenaciousDwereighn]

Why not just make the cross on the green side? it seems like its just an extra step to put them on the bottom

[vidmaker432]

i did not recive that booklet and i like the way explian things most other touturials are so complacated.thanks =)

[GotMeAFancyMercedes]

You explain so good

[JasmineChrisR]

That was very helpful, step 2 is what starts to confuse me

[jason721997]

i made the crooss with the green with extra greens aroung it then i matched up the colors but then my green crooss was messed up someone help!?!?

[random5274]

your the best rubiks cuber ever thanks for helping.

[mr143stampede]

yahoo, completed this step!

[swirlylolly999]

when it worked i spazzed

[CubanCubeFan]

Why Di at the end? It has no effect on the cross. If you do it intuitively it may not be needed. Or is it? Thanks for the links you sent..

[poisonstinger]

@CubanCubeFan I'm not sure about the Di at the end in this video but the Di at the end of step 2 gets you ready for step 7. Step 2 and step 7 are almost identical in how they are performed. Glad you liked the other videos.

[TutorialsAndTips101]

thanks you!!!

[TheEilidhmcb]

what if the green is in the right place, just flipped the other way round?? what do i do then??

[poisonstinger]

@TheEilidhmcb Do the step until it is fliped correctly

[KeyboardDude94]

@TheEilidhmcb Fi U Li Ui

[KatxUNDED]

Wow this is way easyer than other videos i watched :D

[TaylorSwiftRocker77]

wow, you rock.

[zilso]

Really usefull! Keep up the good work! And thx

[XpopstarX987]

i keep making the same stupid mistake every time !!!!!!!!! uhhh

[thatsophiakid]

wow. this is the easiest of them all. lets see how this goes...

[vs357]

I can solve it in 48 seconds! average 1:15

I SUCK!

[g4isinthehouse]

wow u toy murderer

[bisstube]

fuck it. i took it apart. put it on a plate and microwaved it. ill never buy another one again.

[MaGiLo90]

Man, I had to use a cube that had different colors. for example, instead of blue being on the opposite side of the green one, they were right next to each other. However this video actually helps a lot. The explanations are awesome. Thanks a lot man!!

[awsome36000]

this is the only video on youtube i found tht actully makes it clear thx

[shershero]

simple...the best

thank u dude alot .....awesome ;)

[cj8555]

nice video but i still wanna know how u make other side when u fished one side i cant make 2 sides cause i need to move other side so i never finish

[werdownzu]

im sorry but this shit is no help lol

[kinglear38]

omg yay i did it at last

[kinglear38]

lol so difficilt cus i got this one with all dif colours cus it was like 10 bucks cheaper

[lcpl4man]

I also have trouble if the green squares end up on the bottom when i'm trying to get the corners

[Universal247]

Does the cross have to have the extra green piece on it? I have my cross but its a real cross with the blue center piece in the middle. This is making part 2 not make sence. Please reply back!

[poisonstinger]

You need to make your edge colors match up with the centers on the sides. So, if you have blue next to your green instead of opposite green, then you need to make sure that your green/blue edge matches with the green and blue sides of the cube. Do this with all of your colors that are neighboring the green side.

[Universal247]

OMG IT WORKED YES!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I hate those other confusing ppl. subbin

[blueman319]

yes i finally got it! lol

[maso645124137]

to confusing man?? its only because ur doing it ur way with the colours that r facing u but we have different colours facing us!!

im gonna search for some other people!!!!

[IAmLegendSam1]

i still cant get it!!!!!!!!!!!

[MSsTaRzENT]

omg this actually woRked!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HandwhistlerBen]

What a great video! A series of these educational videos for those that don't understand how to do it. You have made many people less frustrated using an educational approach.

[unknownsungod3]

nice it works

[TiannaKylynn]

that is soooooo much easier than what my teacher showed us!!!!

[ZenonZ800]

thanks so much!!!!

subbed

[ASA1997x2345]

It's 3x3x3

Rubik's isn't the only company that makes them.

[maradona556]

man u R GENIUS thanx that the very non frustrating video on YOUTUBE

[freak4eva]

my problem is mine one has different colours and is shiny. Also I couldnt do what u said.

[gbbake]

wow i must be really stupid i just cant do this no matter how many vids i watch!! i keep ending up back where i started.. if i'm an anvanced math student what do the dummies do?

[DeathOnArrivalToo]

You said rotate twice at the yellow edge cube, but you rotated that front three times

[xzxeviexzx]

i dont get how to do the third bit at all

[phillipgaley]

Actually, a most effective demonstration: "How to Solve Rubic's Cube" while lacking any gift of teaching: ". . . . I'm just gonna turn this one here, and then the other orange one, I'll turn this side that way and that side this way, and there we go. Now, we need to find another one like this, and, we'll just turn this up here; now, we'll go around to the other side like this, . . .", and so it goes--an all too common way of some one just doing anything, all the while thinking they're teaching

[xsamistonex]

i've ever been to stupid for this.

my grandpa bought one i think10 years ago. he tried it, then, after he realized he's too stupid he gave it too me..and well.. i trough this thing under my bed...today i took it out and BOOM, i did it!!! haha thx!

[Iceprince4500]

wow, i admit, i really needed these videos. cause, say it with me!! were all dummies!!!!!!!!!! thanks man. on to step 2!!!!!!

[soccerfan3121]

is the green in the bottom right supposed to be there for step 2 too? or does it really matter?

[poisonstinger]

We only address the green cross in step one in step two we address the corners with green on them. You are not ready to be done with step 2 until you have all of the green corners in place and match the other colors so the sides have little t's on them.

[goddamnshawtsnapin3]

so far so good! others are very confusing!!!

[soccerfan3121]

dude. that worked! on to step 2!

[loewie123]

lol, I used this algorithm sequence and when I finally had it I could do it over and over to solve it, so stop saying that this algorithm doesn't make sense... Great job PoisonStinger, are there any other special algorithms to solve the Kube? Cause I only used yours...

Greetings

[poisonstinger]

Well once you get really good I'd sudjest that you look in to these pll oll and the fredrich methoud. Those are advanced algorithms and moves and will be harder to learn but if you master them and like the 50 algorithms that go along with them then you'll be able to solve the cube with in like 30 sec or less.

[bubblejobz]

Waste of time dont bother :D!

[poisonstinger]

Wow you're really showing your own stupidity here. I guess the thousands of people that actually learned Really didn't right? It's funny how you don't want to admit that you're to stupid for Rubik's cubes for dummies, Well maybe you need a Rubik's cubes for retards. Well I'm glad you're done wasting your time with my videos, I hope you pick up a book or really study for you next special ed class.

[bubblejobz]

Nope doesnt work :D everyone is scrambled diffrent step 1 might work but once u get to step 2 it goes into chaos DONT WATCH THESE VIDEOS UNLESS U HAVE IT EXACTLY SCRAMBLED THE WAY HE DOES :D OR ELSE ITS A WASTE OF TIME!!

[poisonstinger]

Waste of Time uh? Well I'd say 10's of thousands have learned from my videos on how to solve one. If you had taken some time to read comments of praise you'd know that. However you decided to give up because you can't grasp the concept of my videos. I show what to do no matter how your cube is mixed. If you don't believe me then ask some of the thousands of people who have posted comments saying that they solved their cube because of my videos. You can find most in step seven's video.

[Zombieslayer4848]

Omg. When this really WORKED for me, I just looked and smiled. lol :)

[leohoho1]

i cant make the third green down thereT.T

[shsnareline08]

god bless you. you're awesome!!

[RighteouslyWicked]

For any of you who are watching this it is the best tutorial ever. I learned from this over a year ago after many long nights of stressing over it. I have since moved to memorizing f2l, oll, and pll. Also a little blindfold. Thanks poisonstinger.

[studenyesecret79]

my blue corner square is not on the opposite side from the green center square but thats how it came. is there another way to do it because thats how it came and ive actually seen someone finish mine?????!!!!!?????

[08JabbaWockeez]

yo thank you ur da best i got so fustrated i almost threw my cube in da garbadge

[marius902001]

i did the same :)) fuckin rubbik's cube FUCKKKKK!!!!!!

[RC885]

THANK YOU!!!!

[Jihadio101]

help whaene i rearange the blue side to a cross or grenn the senters are diffrentthen the top!

[BeastlyDanielg49]

Wow. this was amazing. GREAT JOB!

[Jihadio101]

man your good nice instructions!

[Mokinshi]

yes im so happy i finally found a video that works wooo!!!!

[marcops3fan]

is that a brand new like just bought now cube coz it looks stiff

[KidBoom19]

yooo you the bestttttt

[srharri07]

cheers good instructions

[justoncho]

help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for some reason, if i make blue the upper prt, the other one will be yeelow

[poisonstinger]

sounds like your centers are aranged diffrently than a normal cube. That should be fine but you'll have to remember that durring these steps. all the steps are the same it will just be diffrent collors for you.

[mzrainbowz]

really easier dan the way mii friend tried tew teach meeh... yooh r awsome!!

[fatboyfresh5692]

dis shyt is too complicated maybe im just dum

[ashotinthedark10]

Wow, I had so much trouble making it so that when I get the initial cross, the other side of the edge peices match the center peices, respectively. Your way made it way easier, thanks!

[boomchickaah]

dude every one elses algorithms didnt even make sense but yours do thank you your a life saver

[XenTheKiller]

haha, really ? search for this on utube: Rubik's Cube solution part one

Dont reply

[Deadhuntar]

This is awesome some of the other algrithims dont even work they just say it works they don't even show u! Ur AWESOME!! =)

[EagerFace23]

theres way easier ways to do this!

[poisonstinger]

I agree! However when first learning how to solve a 3x3 this is step is hard to grasp because there realy isn't any set steps. So explaing the other ways so that beginers can understand is extremly hard to do were it wouldn't be confusing. So this is a beginers method. Later when they've solved the cube a few times, I'm sure they'll discover diffrent and easier ways to do this step. Thanks for the comment.

[cooljr333]

way eeasyer

[DarthNicklas3]

best rubix cube video ever!!!

[kyleesuebear]

This is so much easier then in the booklet that you get with the cube.
