2023. Wow. I learned how to solve a rubix cube at 8 years old through this video. Here I am, 23 and still can do it effortlessly. Such nostalgia. Simpler times
Can u help me with this. I can't get past the first left and right algorithms in his part 2 video. His up and up inverted are spun the opposite way of how he does it here in part one. So every time I try it I lose one or two corners from my original green side. Thanks.
@@inlovingmemoryofdouglasmul5216 the notation is always as if you're looking at the described face top-down. So, Up is clockwise as if you're looking at the Up face directly, and U' is as if you're looking at the Up face directly and spinning counter-clockwise. As for the algorithm you're confused about, when you're trying to place the side piece next to it's corner, you always move "away" from the corner you're trying to place it in. So if the piece on top wants to go in the slot on the right corner, you're going to move it to the left (clockwise) first to place it like that. U R U' R' U' F' U F. Think of it as moving the side piece out of the way so you can connect it with the corner piece, then inserting the corner piece. Hope this helps!
11 years ago, this was the video that taught me how to solve a rubik's cube. I thought I'd reteach myself during quarantine. Every other video was too confusing and I had to go searching for this one, glad it's still up! Thank you!
ME TOO. dan saying "right inverted down inverted right down" just reactivated my high school sleeper agent programming and i started remembering how this works haha
same here. around 11 years back. I remembered this guy has two parts of videos. I searched for him too and glad to found him again. simple explanation.
Some time in 2010, I followed this video series to learn how to solve my 3x3 cube. 11 years later, I'm playing around with my 7x7 and felt some wild nostalgia revisiting this. Puzzle cubes have brought me many hours of fun, and help me clear my head at the end of the day. Thanks a million, man. This made my last year or two of highschool colorful and nerdy. :)
7x7 wow that is impressive. Thank you for the inspiring comment. I discovered this video in 2009 and am coming back to cubes because I really think there’s something so beneficial here that we don’t often train our brains for.
Watched this video 12 years ago to learn. Now my son who wasn't even born at that time is learning from the same master his father studied under. I can't wait to see him solve it for the first time. Thanks Dan for providing this experience.
@@aymenalitaleb9658 In case you were curious about a follow-up... he has since then mastered it. He has a huge collection of cubes, and his fastest solve is 14.3 seconds. He consistently solves around 25 seconds. So proud of him. It all started here.
This was the exact video series I watched to learn how to solve a Rubik’s cube, and now I’m able to impress people and get married. So thank you Dan, you are my friend

was anyone just sent here by Nathan Wilson? Edit: wut. I don't even remember making this comment. And yeah, he said in his description it was a joke. But I know how to solve a cube so its fine for me.
I originally found this video in 2008. Found the notecard I wrote the algorithms on but couldn't remember what everything stood for. Searched and searched for this specific video and voila! Thanks again 11 years later, Dan Brown!
wait same i used to know how to solve one cause i wrote it all down ,, but then i lost my rubik’s cube and 2 yrs later i decided to buy a new one ,, and i forgot how to solve it so i’m here again lol
That's crazy, same here. I still have my notes of the algorithms somewhere. Now when I teach people I only can solve it by muscle memory, I can't remember the actual algorithm steps.
Dude! 14 years ago and I still occasionally come back here to show other people or to refresh myself if it’s been a few years on the ones that still escape me (most of it I remember) what a great gift you gave the world with this video. Thank you!!
Thanks for teaching me this 12 years ago... I can still solve it like a master to this day! I don’t know what nearly 8k people disliked this. Don’t blame him for you not understanding it 😂
@eric Spencer I'm lying cause I don't post cubing content? I was literally sitting in my kitchen, speedsolving and got a 21.40 second time which is faster than the first world record.
@eric Spencer I find the sentence "Proof or it didn't happen." really stupid. I know that it did happen, but all of the sudden it didn't because I didn't record it on video? There's tons of people who can do it faster than me, it's not a rare occurrence for someone to solve a cube in 21 seconds.
6 years ago i first learned how to solve the cube for the first time from this tutorial, now in 2020 i average 9 seconds! thank you for getting me started 😁
What's up Dan. I used this video back in the day when I was in middle school to learn how to solve the cube. I will never forget the first solve your video got me to. That was 13 years ago, and thanks to this video i've been casually messing around with rubik's cubes the entire time. Not to mention the fact that thanks to this I found your channel and other projects (I think Dan 3.0 was coming out around the time). Truly an OG youtuber. Just got a new cube and I thought I'd come back and finally leave a comment on this legendary video. The solve still impresses people.
Jack Manuel Hot damn. Are you saying you learned how to solve initially from this video? I never really felt the motivation to stray from the method in this video, being content with an average 1 minute solve. It's impressive enough as a party trick. You mind sharing your motivations behind trying to be faster, and how you transitioned into a different method of solving the cube?
Yup I learned from this video back in 2011. It was the first search result when I typed in "How to solve the Rubik's cube." And regarding improvement, I never really thought about it. When I first solved the cube, my first response was to try and do it again, but faster. Eventually the "beginners method" began to plateau for me, so I looked up tips and tricks on the internet and eventually stumbled across the entire speedcubing community and more advanced methods. After becoming proficient with CFOP (faster method), cubing just became incremental progress and learning new algorithm subsets. Major motivation for me now is definitely the competitive aspect. I have yet to win a local tournament, but I've gotten podium quite a few times.
Dang learned how to do the rubik's cube from this video back when I was in 5th grade. I'm turning 24 next month. My fastest time has been about 30 seconds. (with some luck involved skipping some last steps of course) Someone recently asked me where I learned how to solve the cube, and I told them I'd try to find the video. Glad to see it's still here after all this years. Thanks for the knowledge. 👍🏻
@@nebraskaonewheel Gotta make sure that you have all the middle green pieces in the right place. You'll know they're in place when you see them line up with the middle pieces of their corresponding side. It should look like a green cross with the middle pieces of layer one and two of each side like he has it at 4:47 Once you do that you just need to put all the corners in the right places.
I learned how to solve the Rubik's cube thanks to this video back in 2007. I still find it the easiest to understand and best explained that's why I came back to this video now. I will come back as soon as I forget how to solve it again. Hope YT still works by then :D
Thank you Dan, it took me a day and a half of going through this over and over. Every time it didn’t work out I found that I had made a mistake or misunderstood an instruction. The good thing is that after 6 “almost” I was truly improving and understanding my mistakes better so that when I did finally complete the cube I had truly learned more than just memorization of the algorithm. Much appreciated Sir!
I watched this video 14 years ago when I won a cube at Chuck E. Cheese and wanted to learn how to solve it. I was 9 and I remember it barely had any views. After all this time I can still do it and my favorite fun fact to tell people is that I can solve a Rubik’s cube. This was also the very first time I discovered that you could learn things on TH-cam. This tutorial was so understandable, helpful, and memorable. It’s better than the explanation on the official Rubik’s site. Thank you thank you
once u learn the algorith and steps... its soooo easy... lol... at first i was frustrated too...butt noww everyone impress by me... solve this less than 3 min..
OH MY GOD. This is the tutorial I used to learn the beginners method like 12 years ago! I saw it pop up in my feed and it sure took me back. THANK YOU DAN BROWN, for getting me into a hobby that I will cherish for life!
8 years ago I learned how to solve the Rubiks Cube thanks with your help Dan. Yesterday I solved the cube in 10.94 seconds and it's my first ever 10 second solve. Though I'm now using a hybrid version of this (lbl) and cfop I will never forget my "roots" and still find myself solving it with only lbl every now and then. Thank you so much for this video that made me, the ADHD kid no one believed would be able to solve it actually solve it AND I'm using it for good. It's helping me keeping still. I use it when I'm working with Kids and it NEVER fails. I'll bring it to class when I get a teaching job as well. I hope you're well Dan and again thank you so much 😁
Wow, I remember watching this video years ago :D I can still solve the top two layers from memory. I'm glad I found this again, it's the best tutorial video!
Yoshi does Terraria That doesn't prove anything, you don't need an account to watch TH-cam videos, get your facts straight before assuming anything kid.
Dan. I want to thank you for helping me learn this. I learned how to solve the 3x3 from this video over 3 years ago. Just saw you on a Netflix movie and had to come here to say a thank you comment that I never left years ago. With practice I am now down to solving using your methods in just under 1 min 20 seconds. Pretty fast for not learning it till I was over 30 with my hard wired brain and all. Anyways keep doing what your doing and thanks again for teaching me one of the things I had on my bucket list for so long. Peace.
Damn. I haven’t looked up a Rubik’s cube video in years and then I stumble upon this video that helped me learn how to solve it because I saw Pursuit of Happyness and it was the movie that inspired me to get a Rubik’s Cube haha. 2008 when I was 13 was the first time I saw this video and now rewatching it 16 years later, the nostalgia is hitting me like crazy. Took me about 2 weeks to learn it because of this guy, along with another video around that time. This is an iconic piece of footage.
I learned how to solve a rubix cube with this video years ago and i'm re-watching to re-learn how to do it after putting down the cube for a year. Took a while to find the video but i refused to watch any other tutorial video but this one. =)
Your video taught me to solve a cube a decade ago. I hadn't solved one in years and after rewatching once I remember not only what you teach but also the intermediate algorithms I learned a decade ago. Thanks again!
Thank you Dan Brown! I watched your tutorial like 3 years ago and learned how to solve the cube! Now I finally got sub-20! (yeah it took a looong time)
On random days I just think back to you saying "Right inverted, Down inverted, Right, Down" and feel happy that I've watched the video, and that I am still able to rewatch it. Informative and with character. Thank you so much!
Kenny Pagel I know right. I feel nostalgic watching it. Back then, I only had a PS3 and I used that to go on youtube. So I was just replaying his videos over and over again. I still remember the first time I solved the rubik's cube. Good times.
I learned how to solve the cube 16 years ago thanks to this video. Feeling a little old now, its strange to think I was 14 at the time. I'm still recommending this video to beginners. I can now solve over 15+ Rubik's puzzles and I'm currently working to develop a 3D Rubik's Cube video game. I have taught most of my friends how to solve the cube and it has brought all of us closer together with a shared hobby. Thank you so much Dan, for sharing the fun and passion for cubing. 👍
By far still the best tutorial on TH-cam. Forgot an algorithm recently and searched for this video specifically. It helped me so much when you first released it.
Hey Dan its klay on my other channel. I doubt you'll ever read this but I'll never forget when you came to have lunch at my moms bakery in denver colorado. I still have the cube you gave me and my brother, I stop by this video from time to time because its too cool to hold the cube and see it on the screen at the same time. you should visit us again on a saturday, no more cafe but an array of fresh baked goods. Hope your doing well my friend. Farwell.
It's 2023 and I need to relearn this thing. It took me around 30 mins looking for your videos part 1 and 2 but it's worth it because you are the OG! Cheers!:)
Coming back to this video to thank you, about 7 years ago I sat down with my Rubiks brand cube and turned on this video and solved it for the first time. I’m now in first year university, my collection consists of over 30 puzzles including a 15x15 and a Gigaminx among many others and Cubing has become one of my most cherished hobbies. I haven’t consistently practiced speed solving but I now average ~27s on 3x3 with a PB of 20.60s and ~7s on 2x2 with a PB of 1.46s And I have wowed numerous people over zoom lectures lol Thanks!
Oldie but goodie. Best tutorial out there. Thanks for sharing the joy of being able to solve a rubik's cube for so many. For each person who watches this, they likely will pass the knowledge on to another person as well. In this way your tutorial has helped many both directly and indirectly.
I used this video when I was 14 years old. I’m now 31 and just bought a Rubik’s cube today to reconnect with my childhood. Glad to see it’s still on TH-cam ❤
Ah nostalgic. Thank you Dan Brown. I pored over your videos in 2008 and learned how to solve the cube. It has always been an excellent party trick that even helped catch the attention of my wife. Cheers!
Very cool comment. That Rubik's cube media is pretty up to date. I know i learned from this video. I solved it with the white face up at first-it seems to be a standard too in the competitions. Very cool comment. Thank you.
Hey Dan. Great video. Just one observation... When you say the algorithm "Ri Di R D" you actually do "Ri D R Di". I watched this video back in 2012 and i'm just now noticing it in 2016. Something minor. Just wanted to bring awareness for the other viewers. Thanks for teaching me!

Though I'm now using a hybrid version of this (lbl) and cfop I will never forget my "roots" and still find myself solving it with only lbl every now and then. Thank you so much for this video that made me, the ADHD kid no one believed would be able to solve it actually solve it AND I'm using it for good. It's helping me keeping still. I use it when I'm working with Kids and it NEVER fails. I'll bring it to class when I get a teaching job as well. I hope you're well Dan and again thank you so much 😁
I learned from these videos of Dan's way back around the time he posted them and I've been solving ever since. Thanks so much, Dan!
Thank you Dan. I learned to solve my first 3×3 Rubik's cube more than a decade ago. Now I can solve a 4×4 as well
WOW THIS HAS CARRIED ME THROUGH MY LIFE, I STILL CAN SOLVE IT TO THIS DAY, AFTER 15 YEARS. YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST TEACHER, DAN.
Wow, I remember watching this video years ago :D
I can still solve the top two layers from memory. I'm glad I found this again, it's the best tutorial video!
Liar u joined in 2014

That doesn't prove anything, you don't need an account to watch TH-cam videos, get your facts straight before assuming anything kid.
That is true. I watched this video before I had an account. Having found it again, I wanted to say how much it helped.
How about you all stfu
bianca king Why?
came from fuslie...you got this rated
Dan. I want to thank you for helping me learn this. I learned how to solve the 3x3 from this video over 3 years ago. Just saw you on a Netflix movie and had to come here to say a thank you comment that I never left years ago. With practice I am now down to solving using your methods in just under 1 min 20 seconds. Pretty fast for not learning it till I was over 30 with my hard wired brain and all. Anyways keep doing what your doing and thanks again for teaching me one of the things I had on my bucket list for so long. Peace.
Damn. I haven’t looked up a Rubik’s cube video in years and then I stumble upon this video that helped me learn how to solve it because I saw Pursuit of Happyness and it was the movie that inspired me to get a Rubik’s Cube haha. 2008 when I was 13 was the first time I saw this video and now rewatching it 16 years later, the nostalgia is hitting me like crazy. Took me about 2 weeks to learn it because of this guy, along with another video around that time. This is an iconic piece of footage.
This post got me to where I am now which is sub 20 seconds now. Thank you so much dan
Cameron Hatt Same here!
Cameron Hatt same :)

And I'm still a green side solver when most other non-color neutrals are white haha
Yeah, I'm a white side only! Got a 19.97ao30
Yo this dude got the first ever TH-cam award
It's not the first ever.
It was won in 2008 and there was awards won in 2007
The award ever is the youtube golden mouse award
I learned how to solve a rubix cube with this video years ago and i'm re-watching to re-learn how to do it after putting down the cube for a year. Took a while to find the video but i refused to watch any other tutorial video but this one. =)
Haha I'm the same way. I remember that this video was in two parts, so I was looking for it. ignoring all other videos along the way.
Omg same learned from this guy
Your video taught me to solve a cube a decade ago. I hadn't solved one in years and after rewatching once I remember not only what you teach but also the intermediate algorithms I learned a decade ago. Thanks again!
Thank you Dan Brown! I watched your tutorial like 3 years ago and learned how to solve the cube! Now I finally got sub-20! (yeah it took a looong time)
I solved the first side. But my first layer was not solved when I had done it.Any help?
just go to rubik solve.com
so this is the guy who wrote davinci's code
DaVinci wrote DaVinci's code?
@Steve hell yeah
On random days I just think back to you saying "Right inverted, Down inverted, Right, Down" and feel happy that I've watched the video, and that I am still able to rewatch it. Informative and with character. Thank you so much!
Because of you Dan, I learned to solve a rubik's cube a couple years ago.....I then advanced to f2l method. Thank you.
Same here, I first saw this video in 2007. It's very nostalgic watching it again. Thanks again Dan.
Kenny Pagel I know right. I feel nostalgic watching it. Back then, I only had a PS3 and I used that to go on youtube. So I was just replaying his videos over and over again. I still remember the first time I solved the rubik's cube. Good times.
You're still a TH-cam God.. your growth was amazing
I just broke it into 54 pieces.
Lol that profile picture fits the comment so well xD
katfyr5 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA JAJA YOU RIGHT JAJA
Clementine It's actually 20 pieces.
Clementine Did you take the individual cubies APART?
Clementine your profile pic says it all
I learned how to solve the cube 16 years ago thanks to this video. Feeling a little old now, its strange to think I was 14 at the time. I'm still recommending this video to beginners. I can now solve over 15+ Rubik's puzzles and I'm currently working to develop a 3D Rubik's Cube video game. I have taught most of my friends how to solve the cube and it has brought all of us closer together with a shared hobby. Thank you so much Dan, for sharing the fun and passion for cubing. 👍
Anyone else here from Fuslie #CubeGang
I remember when I first watched this and now im at a 15 second averge :) thanks dan
og
I solved the green side like you showed us but it didn't solve the first layer. :(
Shannon Viola yeah first layer isn’t solved , doing the way he showed
Same
Same, its frustrating

same here
By far still the best tutorial on TH-cam. Forgot an algorithm recently and searched for this video specifically. It helped me so much when you first released it.
Hey Dan its klay on my other channel. I doubt you'll ever read this but I'll never forget when you came to have lunch at my moms bakery in denver colorado. I still have the cube you gave me and my brother, I stop by this video from time to time because its too cool to hold the cube and see it on the screen at the same time. you should visit us again on a saturday, no more cafe but an array of fresh baked goods. Hope your doing well my friend. Farwell.
Cool.
I am here because of my favorite streamer Fuslie #CUBEGANG

When I took off my piece I was like “..I’m going to try” few minutes later “HOW DO I PUT IT BCK ON!!”
First ever awarded person on youtube

Hi Leslers 💖
You’re here because of SML, aren’t you?
No, just learning
i did all the the steps but i dident all the top layers.
Coming back to this video to thank you, about 7 years ago I sat down with my Rubiks brand cube and turned on this video and solved it for the first time. I’m now in first year university, my collection consists of over 30 puzzles including a 15x15 and a Gigaminx among many others and Cubing has become one of my most cherished hobbies. I haven’t consistently practiced speed solving but I now average ~27s on 3x3 with a PB of 20.60s and
~7s on 2x2 with a PB of 1.46s
And I have wowed numerous people over zoom lectures lol
Thanks!
Coming after jacks video

Just watched your segment on the TH-cam documentary Please Subscribe on Netflix. Your story is so inspiring and I wish only the best for your future.
Wat
I am watching that right now .. And I looked up this video to see it. And Dan keep doing what you're doing !
Haha same
I've seen that documentary before. I didn't know that Hannah Hart actually made a book and got published!

Oldie but goodie. Best tutorial out there. Thanks for sharing the joy of being able to solve a rubik's cube for so many. For each person who watches this, they likely will pass the knowledge on to another person as well. In this way your tutorial has helped many both directly and indirectly.
5:20 You can just do Di Ri D R once instead of doing Ri Di R D 5 times btw
CUBE GANGGG LETS GOOOO
Wait, it's not about changing the color stickers?
I used this video when I was 14 years old. I’m now 31 and just bought a Rubik’s cube today to reconnect with my childhood. Glad to see it’s still on TH-cam ❤
i just ask ChatGPT how to solve a Cube and ask him to give me a video link and than i'm here😂😂
Me too haha
The robots are team pogobat

Anyone here from jacksucksatlife restoring award video ?
that would be me 😂
Me too

Ah nostalgic. Thank you Dan Brown. I pored over your videos in 2008 and learned how to solve the cube. It has always been an excellent party trick that even helped catch the attention of my wife. Cheers!
Jack's magnet brought you here
Whoa, i came again watching this video in 2019. Its 10 years already XD (2009).
Lol !
2016 anyone?

+Jordan Good ok
Lol everyone came here because feliks zemdegs learned from this video.
noooooo it's 2067
Very cool comment. That Rubik's cube media is pretty up to date. I know i learned from this video. I solved it with the white face up at first-it seems to be a standard too in the competitions. Very cool comment. Thank you.
I remember watching this in middle school when I was a big cuber. I am now graduating university and starting back cubing. Best tutorial to this day.
way to fast go slower for nubes like me

Hey Dan. Great video. Just one observation... When you say the algorithm "Ri Di R D" you actually do "Ri D R Di". I watched this video back in 2012 and i'm just now noticing it in 2016. Something minor. Just wanted to bring awareness for the other viewers.
Thanks for teaching me!
Jordyne Lynn Looks to me like he does Down on both ocassions.
I noticed it too
Look closer. He's doing it as stated
No matter what it does not work
Fuslie brought me here:)
I remember watching this vid in school. The channel was called "Pogobat" back then. Thanks for showing me how to solve it!
actual solving starts at 2:55
