Jumbling Tutorial for the Curvy Copter and Helicopter Cube

My facebook: http://facebook.com/redKB.FB My Twitter: http://twitter.com/KennethBrandon

In this video I show how to solve the Curvy Copter and Helicopter Cube WITH Jumbling.

Here is the tutorial on how to solve these puzzles WITHOUT jumbling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkxhacESoOI

Note on notation. Although edges are defined by two faces and would usually require notation with two sides for each move, (e.g. UF UR UB UL), I chose to simplify it to only one letter. This is because all my algorithms are on the U face. So the U seemed pretty redundant. Also J stands for Jumble. JR means Use the UR edge and FL edge for jumbling. JL means use the UL edge and FR edge for jumbling.

Algorithms:
1. Edge switcher for weird cases: R L JR F R L
2. Easy edge 3 cycle: F R F R
3. Permute Corners: R L B L B R B L B L
4. Orient Corners - Curvy Copter: (F R B L) x6
5. Orient Corners - Helicopter Cube: (F R B L) x3
6. Helicopter Parity: JR JL F

Tips for advanced cubers:
1. If you reverse the orient corners alg, the corners will twist in the opposite direction. So for the curvy copter, instead of twisting the three corners counter-clockwise it would twist them clockwise. Here's the reversed alg: (L B R F) x6 or x3.

2. If you mirror the Permute corners alg, and you hold the corner that doesn't need to move in the Top Front Right position. The other three corners will cycle in the opposite direction. The mirrored alg is : L R B R B L B R B R

Do you come up with your own algorithms?

[redkb]

@PsychoMuffinMuncher I do. Sometimes they aren't the best.

Thank you for these videos :) I had my heli cube sitting scrambled for quite a long time.. I used to know a solution for a non-jumbling scramble but it involved many algs so I forgot it and now couldnt solve it, but when I watched your videos I will probably never forget how to do this again, because your method is so easy to remember. And as a bonus I can now do it w/ jumbling ! :) Thank you for doing this once again :)

[redkb]

@16darkclone I'm glad I could help!

[SuperUtubewhore]

Thank you!

[redkb]

@SuperUtubewhore Thanks for a good first comment!

[MangoTangoFOx]

Both of these videos were excellent. I don't even have the puzzles, but I watched both tutorials in full. :D

[redkb]

@MangoTangoFOx HA! Now you need to get one!

this video persuaded me greatly to get a curvy copter; it looks awesome to solve.

R L B L B R B L B L

i looked at that and read

Real Life BLows, Be Right Back, Laughing (B?)out Loudly

never gonna forget that :)

Thanks for this tutorial. It really helped me a lot!

[BeeSolomona]

bro my cube came and it was so well lubed.

[agamer999]

yay !

[rroms]

cool, step 5 is the only thing that really needs to be remembered.

except for the 2 last sequences it's easier than with a classic rubik's cube to figure out what's actually happening. (probably because nothing happens on the dark side of the cube when you do these moves).

thanks

I wich all my teachers could explain things as good as you do :p great tutorial

On step 4 I found a much easier way to switch 2 triangles that are in the correct orbit. Position the cube so the 2 triangles need to switch from left to right and that are on the right and use this algorithm:

F R L RJ F R L F

[BRyanS72]

@ericfam01 That is an impossible case to get to. So just twist the edge that the corner rests on 90 degrees, and then twist the actual corner to the solved state and turn the edge back.

Very Good !!!
