Q&A

How did you choose the scrambles to solve for this video?

I asked viewers to send me their most interesting and challenging Rubik's Cube scrambles. I received a variety of submissions and selected a few to feature in the video.

What solving techniques do you use?

I primarily use the CFOP method, which involves solving the cross, solving the first two layers (F2L), orienting the last layer (OLL), and permuting the last layer (PLL). I also incorporate advanced techniques like lookahead and finger tricks to improve my speed.

How do you analyze and evaluate the quality of a scramble?

When analyzing a scramble, I look for patterns and opportunities for efficient solving. I consider factors such as the number of moves required, the simplicity and elegance of the solution, and any interesting or challenging aspects of the scramble.

What tips do you have for improving Rubik's Cube solving speed?

Practice is key for improving solving speed. Focus on improving your finger dexterity, learning advanced techniques, and developing efficient algorithms. Additionally, solving puzzles with different sizes and shapes can help in developing a broader understanding of puzzle solving strategies.

How can I get involved in the Rubik's Cube community?

There are many ways to get involved in the Rubik's Cube community. Join online forums and communities, participate in competitions, watch tutorial videos, and connect with other enthusiasts through social media. You can also consider joining a local cube club or starting your own.
