How To Solve Rubik's Cube: So Easy A 3 Year Old Can Do It (Full Tutorial)







Have you ever wanted to learn how to solve the Rubik’s Cube?In this video we will learn an easy method to solve the Rubik’s Cube.  This is the same method that Emily used to solve the Rubik’s Cube when she was 3 years old.

Recommended learning & practice schedule:

Day 1 - Layer 1 & 2
Day 2 - Refresh Day 1,  Yellow Cross, Little Fish & Big Fish
Day 3 - Refresh Day 1 & 2, Double Fish & No Fish
Day 4 - Refresh and Practice Days 1, 2 & 3
Day 5 - LL Fix Corners and Edges
*Note: it’s important to sleep between learning new things, it boots the information in the brain like saving a parameter with a reset.  Don’t try to learn too much in one day.  It seldom matters how fast you learn something but rather how well you learn something.

—————
Rubik’s Cube Notation of Turns
R = clockwise turn of the Right side.
R’ = counterclockwise turn.
L = clockwise turn of the Left side.
L’ = counterclockwise turn.
U = clockwise turn of the Up or Top side.
U’ = counterclockwise turn.
D = clockwise turn of the Down or Bottom side.
D’ = counter clockwise turn.
B = clockwise turn of the Back side while facing it.
B’ = counterclockwise turn.  * Remember CW & CCW is as if facing that side


A lower case letter means we turn that side and the Center layer with it, whether it be the Right, Left, Front, Back, Up, or Down.  



Yellow Cross (F R U R’ U’ F’)

Little Fish:  (R U R’ U R U2 R’) 

Big Fish:  (R U’2 R’ U’ R U’ R’)

Double Fish:  (R U R’ U R U2 R’) (R U R’ U R U2 R’)

No Fish:  (f R U R’ U’ f’) (F R U R’ U’ F’)  

PLL Corners:  (x R’ U R’ D2 R U’ R’ D2 R2 x’)

PLL Edges:   (R2 U R U R’ U’ R’ U’ R’ U R’)

*Note some of these are not conventional Rubik’s algorithms because we modified them or made up our own for simplicity and ease of memorization.  They are not the fastest or most efficient but we believe them to be the simplest.  (See part 2 Solve Rubik’s Intermediate Method for faster methods once proficient at this beginner method to solve 3x3 cube) 

Insert First Layer Corner
White sticker on Right:  R U R’ 
White sticker on  Left:  L’ U’ L
(Slap the White side)

Second Layer Edges
Align Edge to Center
Move it away
Kick out Corner 
 & Chase the Edge (Special Rabbit)
Re-Insert Corner

Second Layer Edges 
If an edge is in wrong
Kick it out (put another in)
Re-insert Corner
Find Edge then insert

Last Layer Yellow Cross
F R U R' U' F'
Repeat 1 - 3 Times
Until Yellow Cross

Last Layer Corners
Put two solved corners to back
x R’ U R’ D2 R U’ R’ D2 R2 x’
or if no solved corners do it twice

Last Layer Edges
If 3 Edges wrong put solved side to back
R2 U R U R’ U’ R’ U’ R’ U R’
Repeat 1-2 times
If all 4 Edges wrong perform alg, then solved side to back
Then all 1-2 more times 

In this Beginner Method Rubik’s tutorial 
You will learn a super easy beginner method to solve the Rubik’s Cube logically and intuitively by learning how the Rubik’s Cube Work.  Rubik’s Cube Terminology and Cube Notation.  Intuitively solve the 3x3 Rubik’s Cube using beginner white cross (daisy), Rubiks first layer corners, cube second layer edges, and super easy last layer algorithms for OLL and PLL.
How to solve Rubik’s Cube logically, or solve rubix cube intuitively.  
It helps to have a 3x3 speed cube or lubricate your Rubik’s Brand cube and break it in.
Follow these Rubik’s Cube solve steps and look at our Rubik’s Cube solve pdf for a good reference to the Rubik’s Cube solve tutorial method.  This is an was How to solve Rubik’s Cube for kids.
