3x3x3 Tutorial: U-Perm "Edges Last" Method

This video is a VERY light introduction to the idea of using commutators and simple algorithms to your advantage in regards to solving the Rubik's Cube. If you're tired of doing solve after solve, trying to get faster times and memorizing more and more algorithms, this may be the direction in which you might want to head.

This method is absolutely NOT meant for speedsolving. Instead, it takes more of a "fun" approach as an alternative to memorized methods such as Fridrich's or Beginner's. I personally really enjoy trying to solve puzzles on my own and in different ways, and this video helps to illustrate that idea a little bit.

So I guess the moral of the story is this: try to think more and memorize less. That way you'll have more fun and satisfaction while solving the cube. That's the Rubik's Cube's intended purpose, and it's definitely a superior challenge. I'm including a few videos below that will help to enforce this point.

Awesome cubing-related videos!

@pokemon3211 Exactly...if I were to do that, hardly anyone would understand me, especially when it's intuitive. But that's the point I'm getting at...find ways to solve the cube on your own. So, good job! haha
