Easiest Solve For a Rubik's Cube | Beginners Guide/Examples | STEP 1
TLDRThis tutorial simplifies solving the Rubik's Cube for beginners by teaching step-by-step, like instructing an eight-year-old. It emphasizes identifying cube sides by center colors, using the 'house and road' analogy to guide the placement of white squares, or 'cars', around the yellow center. The goal is to achieve a 'daisy' pattern, with practice aiming for under one minute. The script also addresses strategies for finding hidden cars and dealing with median placements, encouraging progression to the next step upon mastering this stage.
Takeaways
- 🟡 Start by identifying the colors on the Rubik's Cube, using the center square as a reference.
- 🔄 Understand that opposite colors are paired: blue with green, red with orange, and yellow with white.
- 🏠 Begin solving the cube with the yellow side up, considering the yellow center as a 'house'.
- 🚗 Treat white squares that are not corners as 'cars' that need to be parked around the 'house'.
- 🛣 Imagine a 'road' around the yellow 'house', which you can navigate to move the pieces.
- 🚫 Remember the 'median' in the middle where no 'cars' can be parked.
- 🔄 Spin the top layer freely without affecting the position of the 'road' and 'house'.
- 🚦 Look for available 'parking spots' and 'cars' on the top and front of the cube.
- 🔄 If a 'car' is in the median, turn the cube to reposition it onto the 'road'.
- 🔄 If a 'car' is at the bottom, line up the empty spot above it and flip to bring it to the top.
- 🌼 Once all 'cars' are parked around the 'house', you have completed the 'daisy' step.
- ⏱ Practice until you can solve the 'daisy' from a scrambled cube in under one minute.
Q & A
What is the easiest way to identify the sides of a Rubik's Cube according to the tutorial?
-The sides of the Rubik's Cube can be identified by their center squares' colors. For example, the yellow side has a yellow center square, the orange side has an orange center, and so on. Opposite colors are also helpful, such as blue and green, or red and orange.
Why is it important to know the color sides when solving a Rubik's Cube?
-Knowing the color sides is crucial for orientation and to avoid confusion while solving the cube. It helps in quickly finding and placing the correct pieces during the solving process.
What does the term 'house' represent in the context of the tutorial?
-In the tutorial, the 'house' refers to the center square of the yellow side of the Rubik's Cube, which is the starting point for solving the puzzle.
What is the analogy used to describe the solving process of the Rubik's Cube in the tutorial?
-The tutorial uses the analogy of a 'house' and 'roads' to describe the solving process. The 'house' is the center yellow square, and the 'roads' are the paths around it where the pieces ('cars') need to be parked.
What are the 'cars' in the context of solving the Rubik's Cube as per the tutorial?
-'Cars' in the tutorial refer to the white squares on the Rubik's Cube that are not corner pieces. The goal is to park these 'cars' around the 'house' (yellow center).
How does the tutorial suggest finding a car for parking if it's not immediately visible?
-The tutorial suggests looking at the front and top of the cube and spinning the top layer to find a car. If a car is not found, it might be on the bottom of the cube, and the empty parking spot should be aligned with the car's position.
What does the term 'daisy' represent in the Rubik's Cube solving process described in the tutorial?
-The 'daisy' refers to the stage in the solving process where all the white squares, which are the 'cars', are correctly parked around the yellow 'house', forming a daisy-like pattern.
What is the goal of the first step in the Rubik's Cube solving process as taught in the tutorial?
-The goal of the first step is to correctly park all the white squares ('cars') around the yellow center square ('house'), creating a 'daisy' pattern on the top layer of the cube.
How can you tell if you're ready to move on to the next step in the solving process?
-If you can solve the 'daisy' stage, going from a completely scrambled cube to the 'daisy' in under one minute, you are ready to move on to the next step.
What should you do if you encounter a situation where a car is stuck on the median during the solving process?
-If a car is stuck on the median, you should turn the cube to reposition it so that the car is on the 'road', and then proceed to drive it up to the parking spot.
How does the tutorial handle the situation where a car is at the bottom of the cube?
-If a car is at the bottom, you should align the empty parking spot directly above the car and then perform a one or two flip movement to bring the car to the top.

🧩 Rubik's Cube Introduction and Color Identification
The script introduces a simplified method for solving a Rubik's Cube, emphasizing a step-by-step approach suitable for beginners. It explains the importance of identifying the cube's sides by their center colors, using the analogy of a 'house' with a 'road' around it to describe the yellow center and its surrounding squares. The script also introduces the concept of opposite colors to help quickly locate specific pieces, such as blue and green, or red and orange. The first step in solving the cube involves arranging the yellow side's white squares, referred to as 'cars,' around the central yellow square, avoiding corner pieces and ensuring they are correctly positioned without crashing into each other.
🚗 Solving the Daisy and Advanced Cube Techniques
This paragraph continues the Rubik's Cube tutorial, focusing on solving the 'daisy,' a configuration where all white squares are positioned around the yellow center. The script provides strategies for dealing with pieces that are not easily accessible, such as those on the bottom or in the median of the cube. It suggests lining up an empty parking spot with a car on the bottom layer and flipping it into place, which can speed up the solving process. Additionally, the script addresses situations where a car is on the top of the median and needs to be moved to the road for proper placement. The goal is to achieve the daisy configuration within one minute, after which the learner can proceed to the next step of the tutorial available on EasiestSolve.com.
