What Solving A Rubik's Cube Without Any Guides Taught Me

- This is my story of how I fully taught myself how to solve a 3x3 Rubik's Cube and how it taught me a whole new approach to problem solving. it is truly one of my greatest accomplishments and was incredibly rewarding. I would highly recommend! I later moved to 4x4 and now I am on the 5x5.

I’m very curious to know if there’s anyone else out there who also taught them self a solution without any guides
Nothing on your level, but I kind of have! I did learn how to solve the cube with a guide initially which is why it's only a kind of. I have made a full set of my own algorithms to solve the cube, but because of my prior knowledge I already knew the methodology, I just had to find algorithms.
Sadly I can't say that I have found my own solution for the 3x3. But luckily for cubers like me, who looked up a tutorial (or as in my case a friend showed me and then I learned the rest from a tutorial) before realising how awesome it would be to find your own solution, there are a ton of other twisty puzzles out there. And while on some there is quite some overlap, on others you pretty much start at zero and are as puzzled as you were when you did your first turns on a 3x3. I solved most of my collection (imgur.com/a/2tQ64Bm ) on my own. For a couple of those I had to look up a tutorial for the very last step and tbh, some of those solutions were so crazy to me, I don't think I'd have ever found them on my own, ever. Believe me I did A LOT of thinking and a lot of trial and error. Only for one puzzle I regret looking at a solution too soon - I already had done the right moves, just hadn't yet figured out what they did and what I could use them for :(
I strongly agree with you that finding your own solution for such a puzzle is extremely rewarding and luckily I realised that fairly soon in my cubing career. The first puzzle I solved completely on my own was the Pyraminx, which I strongly recommend giving a try. It's fairly easy compared to a 3x3, but still really fun to figure out. Although you certainly won't take a month to do that, especially if you can already solve a 3x3 or more importantly know how to tackle such a "problem".
I have. You need to remember that almost everyone who solved the cube in the first few years after it came out, figured it out by themselves. There were some books, but they were awful. Today, self solvers are rare.
There are two bits of advice that I give people that want to solve it on their own.
1) Solve it one layer at a time. Some people try to solve it a color at a time. That is a harder method. Oddly enough, cubes like the Dino cube, Redi Cube, Mosaic cube, and Rediminx, solve easier when doing one color at a time.
2) Look for longer sequences of moves. People who fail, stop themselves at 4 moves sequences. Some of the best sequences of moves are 7 and 8 and 10 moves long.
If you are really really suck, look up Commutators and Conjugates. Mathologer has a great video explaining it. "A simple trick to design your own solutions for Rubik's cubes".
Congratulations, and Welcome to the cubing community. Keep going. There are hundreds of unique cubes out there. It still feels amazing, even when you solve something easier than Rubik's like the Skewb, as well as those harder puzzles like the Curvy Copter.
Matthew Paquette I already lost, I know how to solve a cube in 30 secs, but using guides. So your challenge won’t work for me. But great!
As a speedcuber who learned to solve the cube by watching tutorials I wish I had put down more time trying to figure out my own solution like you did. My first cube was a 2x2 and I remember how fun it was to just play around with it, searching for a solutions and I miss that feeling. But I can say that I did taught myself "F2L" which is a crucial step for speedsolving. F2L is something you as a solver can do in many many different ways, but some more efficient than other. Some looks up some algorithms to do it but I only looked up what it was, so I knew what the purpose and the goal of F2L actually was. And I started from there. Soon I knew how to do F2L but very inefficient. But over time I've gotten better with the method. I havn't figured out the whole rubik's cube myself unfortunately but I have improved my skills solving it partly by myself and that's at least something.
"The key to problem solving isn't about knowing the solution, it's about knowing that there is a solution and doing everything you can to find it." - Matthew Paquette 2020
So this is what the birth of a quote looks like...
The true Erno Rubik experience
Damn Matt. It’s only 9am and you got me inspired to solve some problems. Creative intuition is an eloquent way to explain the approach. Thanks for sharing.
I hope you do something incredible today!
I have a very similar experience to you. I wanted to solve the Rubik’s cube without a guide when I was like 17 or 18 and first started out with the 2x2. It took me a few days to find my own method of solving the 2x2 and after that I moved to the 3x3 and spent countless hours on it making no progress at all then I realized that the corners of the 3x3 is basically a 2x2 so I started by solving the corners of the 3x3 then I found a way to solve the edges of two opposite sides, then the middle layer of the cube. It took me weeks of obsessively trying out different things to develop my method. I’m planning on uploading a video explaining my method sometime, but I’ll need to make sure I can explain it clearly first.
That’s so cool to hear!
To learn from a tutorial: easy, really anybody could do it.
To figure out the solution: takes some thinking, analysis, out of the box thinking and the process of basically as you said discovering algorithms.
You basically derived your own algorithms to move pieces around, maybe not the most efficient ones, but discovered independently of a tutorial.
Precisely! Looks like you know your cubes well!
But I couldn't use a tutorial. Still, I solved the cube by myself.
Just started my journey to solve this without any google or youtube help videos. Just wanted to see others out there on the same path. I thirst for these kind of self achievements. I love forcing myself to figure shit out. Good luck everyone!
You got it!
How did it go?
It’s been 2 years since you commented this, did you accomplish your goal?
I had solved it without the help of guides but it takes very long time to solve it.. believe me it is very much difficult without guides
@@ChapiMiso-fd7us how long did it take? Did you have to discover a specific way to learn how to solve it?
i would recommend playing sudoku everyday too its great for abstract thinking which i believe grants you the ability to constantly come up with ideas, solutions but overall i think its helped to view any problem and think more creatively about that particular problem. Cheers!
You have mastered learning to learn,. I believe going to university is about learning to learn or it should be. As a computer science major I have been solving problems all my life, now I am retired and still doing it. Photography and video is my latest trek. Master something and always keep learning...
Why have i not find your channel before!? This is golden, this video and everything in your archive. And this level of self awareness, the level of personality... Man you gonna change the world, and am staying here on this follow channel forever!
I looked it up at first. But now i an find many different way to solve it just by creating algorithms like you said. It makes sense. Doesnt seem like an insurmountable task. I guess i wish id have done it
I solved my first 1 years ago, then the 2nd time happened 1 month ago ;)
I 100% agree with your conclusion.
Some day soon, I hope to be able to make a video that is as good looking, clean sounding, and wonderfully engaging as this was. Very cool story, Editor Matt. I appreciate you sharing it. ✌️
Thank you
I love this in so many ways. I'm currently trying to learn something that I am continually failing at and progress is slow. Your video gives me hope there will be light at the end of the tunnel. I just need to keep trying.
I can only solve one part of it with no tutorials, already gave up, but because of this video I will try again
You can do it! It’s going to be so rewarding!
I wish i had started by solving it myself instead of going to YT. For anyone who only wants to use intuition when solving the rubiks cube: i would highly recommend bending that rule and learning what a commutator is. It lets you intuitively come up with some useful patterns/algorithms intuitively and fairly easily, while not being anything thats pre memorized. Knowing how to use commutators is like slowly gaining fluency in a language instead of using a phrasebook (tutorials) or miming put what you want to say and hoping you get good enough at demonstrating what you want so youre understood (creating your own method)
I had also solved rubik cube 4 to 5 times without the help of tutorial it took very long time... To solve it... Glad to see someone who believe solving rubik without help of tutorial ❤
1:51 that without a doubt is the beginners method
My boyfriend is trying to do this and we where looking for inspiration because It's getting him pretty frustrated lol. Great video! Uwu
Does he know how to slove it now? is he a speed cuber?
Dude amazing job! You should feel really proud and grateful for this experience.
I don’t know why but this reminds me of a “ My Strange Addiction” episode
i recently learned as well. (i did look it up) but there is something to rubiks cube that always fascinates me. I sound so cliche but the problem solving and critical thinking aspects are soooo close to everyday life. anyways. love the vid!
I know exactly what you mean!
This is impressive, but this video helped me in a way I wasn’t expecting. I was being stubborn and tried to do it all on my own, but seeing your journey makes me realize that the end result is the same: pattern memorization, experience, and recalling info to apply to new situations (intuition)…and it takes longer. Definitely impressive, but personally I don’t want to put that much time into solving a Rubik’s cube when I can get similar results from learning algorithms other people came up with. Both options are valid, but I realize while I was doing the same as yours from this video…it’s not the path I want to continue on. Kudos to you and thanks for sharing.
Same
I love your dedication, and this is incredible. I must say though, speedcubing has become a competitive sport at this point. So it’s Not so much “cheating” if you’re planning on becoming a speed cuber, you’ll want to learn the solve methods and the best advanced algorithms for the quickest solutions. Same as any other competitive sport like chess, you gotta learn or be taught if you wanna compete. You could teach yourself.. but that wouldn’t get you very far without the professional tips and know how. But alas, people like you being able to solve it on there own.. is a championship trophy in itself. Amazing work, again.
Totally! Speedcubing is amazing! I'd even consider it a whole different hobby than solving
HIS GREATEST ACHIVEMENT IS LEARNING BEGINNERS METHOD
there is a chace he figure out the exact same method that beginners use but im a bit critical of the whole video
That is impressive👍. When I was learning the basic algorithm for solving a cube I almost gave up, and felt such accomplishment solving it. I couldn't imagine trying to identify the patterns and then build my own custom solve technique, that takes dedication. The human mind is so powerful when it is focused. My first video on TH-cam was an algorithmic solve I did to test my lighting and the post process.
This was a great video, great footage
Awesome video man...awesome video!!
I feel you on that!!
It took me 7 years to solve the Rubik's Cube (the 3x3 one)...
I taught myself how to solve it without any help!!
And yes... I went through many Rubik's Cubes - because as they get worn out, I just go and buy another one!!
My goal was to solve it at least one time by myself fully without any help...
And then after I did - I went online to learn just a few moves to help me with the last layer...
Lol
I remember...
I was in the car with my Mom and I was solving the Rubik's Cube...
And then it happened...
I solve it and I SCREAMED with excitement!! My Mom looked at me in shock...
And all I kept saying was...
I solved it
I solved it
I SOLVED IT!!!!
Um yeah...
I didn't mess up the cube in a while after that!!
And now years since that...
I can solve many other cubes now!!
2x2 through 9x9 Rubik's Cube
Helicopter Cube
Curvy Copter Cube
....to name some!!!
Thanks again for sharing your video!!!!
Hotel Smart TVs are no match for Matt’s problem solving perseverance!!
Haha that was a good time!
Hahahaha. Meanwhile when are we gonna see you guys on Mattih's channel?
Thanks for the inspiring video! Got me thinking and meditating this afternoon about my life.
I bought one about 2 weeks ago now with the intent to solve it without help. I made progress on it really fast but probably only worked on it for about half an hour every couple of days. Im at a point where I can get the whole cube solved just with the top middle pieces out of place. I know theres an algorithm to solve the whole cube from the point I’m at now but I just don’t know how to do it.
Great story, Matthew. Thank you.
Very inspirational! Thank you
I wish i could go back in time and solve it intuitively instead of giving up after a couple days and looking at a tutorial. It's not my biggest regret but it's pretty high on the list. I've pretty much mastered the beginners method and i think i am going to try and get my average to sub 30 with cross color neutrality or atleast bi-color neutrality, better fingerticks, and much less cube rotations. This to prove to myself that I've really got all i can from beginners method before moving on to cfop & roux. Anyways sorry for jabbering on. Good video and great inspiration goodsir. This motivated me to learn to solve 2x2 and hopefully 4x4 without instruction. Big ups 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I took an uncles magical advice while on 14hr road trip. "Always read the directions carefully, it's all about reading the directions."
Thanks brother.
Congrats Matt! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great problem solving. You came up with your own algorithms. I have a handful of algorithms memorized and I generally know when to use them. I can solve a 3x3, the only type I've ever tried in a few minutes, but honestly, I feel like I don't know how I did it.
I was given a 3x3 cube about 30 years ago with no instructions and I never solved it... unless you count taking it apart and putting it back together solved. I only got a new one so I could show my kids and see if they liked the puzzle.
Meanwhile me who looked up on TH-cam and does a sub 50sec solve. It's true it's not about iq or smartness it's more like hard work and determination and perseverance. I would love to know if Matthew is gonna learn resolve 16. That would be great. This guy is an awesome tutorial maker.
Sweet! Now, if you could do a video on how to organize the Rubik’s cube that is massive amount of unorganized footage I’ve taken for my last project. Seriously though, I’d love to see how you organize footage and approach adding it to a timeline. Thanks!
This is the real way to solve it 💯
Solving a rubix cube is one thing but solving it by yourself, bro you is a king 👑
It would be very interesting to know how you solve the cube with your own method! (because I learned to solve it from youtube.)
Hi Matt, I am at the same stage as you a few weeks ago. I am traveling right now and instead of a book I took the Rubiks that I own for years already. I have resisted to check Google for the most part and your video motivated me to keep it that way. I hate/love the Rubiks. Good luck for your channel, cheers Hendrik
Damn this was inspirational, I was working on trying to understand the algorithm and not just remembering it, but now I may try to proceed solving it myself. However I do already have a lot knowledge, I know that it's easier to solve by layers and you should solving the cross first, but I hope this will still be interesting to do.
Another great video, Matthew.
Dedication man, good for you! Can you imagine learning Premiere Pro the same way? Even with Google cheating I banged my head on the keyboard from time to time.
Great job Matt
Thanks Forrester! 🙌🏻
1:18 "living on my own"
Rubik's cube:hi there
(normally i would call it 3x3 but oh well)
Great achievement! In my eyes it's equal to achieve a mountain summit
Great video Matthew
i did this before.. my 3x3 rubix cube solve was 8 hours and my 4x4 rubix cube solve was 20 hours. i hate memorizing the algorithm, tricks, and watching "how to solve" vids. i learn a lot of things from solving rubix cube, i feel the persistence, consistency, problem solving, and not giving up from solving the cube for long time. solving the rubix cube for me, bringing back the sense of "hunger" from achieving something.
Lol I actually turned the quality up to 4k and played that intro part frame by frame just to see how if that was an editing trick
This is really great for you, and you definitely should be proud of yourself for doing it, and I'm sure it helped with future problem solving after you had done it. BUT saying that using a guide or letting a friend help you is 'cheating' is extremely arrogant. I bought one, used a guide and it took me about an hour, and I have not been able to put it down afterward. It has helped me get better at anything from intuitive problem solving to improving/speeding up my memorization process and helped me get better hand (finger) eye coordination.
You did it without any help, and you should definitely be proud of that, but don't say that using some form of help and then getting fast at it is any less of an achievement, the only difference is the time spent of the first solve.
Thank you. No, It's not "extremely arrogant", It's subjective. To me a guide was cheating because I set rules for myself to not use a guide therefore a guide would be the exact definition of cheating. Everyone is free to use they cube however they like so 'cheating' in my case is different than yours.
I actually taught myself how to solve the 4x4 without any guides in a week. I did use the algorithm for the 3x3 though (I only learned the beginner method for the 3x3)
And yeah I also "invented 2 algorithms" for solving the edges
P.S. Solving parity was a nightmare.
2:46 This looks a lot like the beginners method.
Also 2:57 there is a white and yellow sticker on an edge which isn't possible
2:55 the cube has correct colour scheme which further proves the point above
I think he peeled the stickers
He explained it
I’m currently solving a rubiks with no tutorials, just finding my own way, 2 days in and I’m quite happy with the progress I’ve made. I’m hoping by the end of the week I’ll have it solved.
I’ve never seen understood why people would look up guides for their first solve. Isn’t the challenge of finding a solution the whole point?
Update?
How did it go?
Kinda hurts my soul knowing he is trying to solve anything past a 3x3 using layer by layer
Same here i solved it with my own patterns, took me 3 months, but i did it eventually. The rubik's cube thought me that if I want sth if I really wanted it I can achieve it no matter how hard it is
Awaaayli

I know how to solve a Rubik's cube but I always wanted to go back or forget how to and then do it without a guide.
Same here, but how?
@@dilipkn7339 time.
Oh wow what a nice achievement! I wish I would have found my own solution back then... But I managed to solves cubes up to 7 layers. And what I learned there is (SPOILER ALERT): you should first finish the all the middles, then bring al the two-colored pieces together and then solve it (almost) just like a normal 3x3x3 Rubiks cube. Tell me when your done with the 5x5x5! :D
I was laughing the whole video. Good jokes
Great video, I liked when you put in that you will do anything to accomplish something.
Love this video. Thanks
I did learn how to solve a fisher cube on my own and a couple weird ones
Ur litterly a genius.
I've always just solved the first 2 layers with logic, moving pieces out of the way to save them to move them back later etc. But I just can't seem to do the same thing with the 3rd layer lol. I can't keep tract of it all! I really don't want to memorize algorithms. I just want to apply logic to solve the last layer
I recommend leaving a f2l pair empty that way you can keep solving intuitively. And the lest step is similar to the last step of lbl. Alternatively you can watch the 8355 method if i remember correctly.
That’s impressive
I'm even did not try solving 3x3, just solving first with tutorial. But 2-month later i'm find other methods. 7 month ago later i'm find full own solution for 4D and 5D hypercubes puzzle and even beat world record for 5D 2^5 puzzle by movecount. Now i'm start solving of bandaged cube, there is hundred's of much harder then original 3x3 puzzles.
Just all know about speedcubing, but many "smart" cubers solving many hardest puzzle.
I solved it on my own about 40 years ago I started placing 4 corners in the right order then with two different moves I place the other corners below the corners that are already in the correct order. After that with another two different moves I turn the corners so they are facing in the right way. After all the 8 corners are in the right spot I move the centers to match the corners and move the middle pieces to match the colors of the corners until I end up with two or three middle pieces that need to be flipped. I placed the pieces that need to be flipped on one side of the cube and I flip one by one using the opposite side of the cube but only disturbing one middle piece after all the pieces are flipped I rotate back the face where I use to group the middle pieces that needed to be flipped. Usually after that move my center pieces are in the wrong place but that is very simple to fix and that is the method I created by myself. Back then there was no internet my friend had cheat sheets but I didn’t want to see them my friends solve the cube sooner than me but I did it on my own.
Very inspiring video, Matt! Combine all the centers and edges in 4x4 and 5x5, after that you can turn them exactly like 3x3.
You should do an explanation of your method. I'm sure every cuber out there would appreciate how you did it.
Yes!
ok.. sold.! found my cube.. dusted it off ! now ! lets see how far can I go! if I ever solve it I will let you know
You're a good sales man as well dude! 🤣 Now I want one
My 10 year old son doesn't know any algorithms, and through diligence he's learnt to solve 2 full sides and 8 squares out of 9 on the third side. Someone told me that after that it's IMPOSSIBLE to complete the sides without algorithms. I knew that that couldn't be the case, but just wanted to check and found your video.
One thing that I feel he might need to start doing is solving it by layers (still without transformations or algos) but in a layer-by-layer approach instead of a side-by-side approach
I don’t call it cheating to have had a buddy teach me how, cause I would’ve never in my life figured it out. Brain don’t work that way. I did figure out the 2x2 after having known how to do 3x3… not much to brag about but I’m satisfied that I didn’t Google it til after I got it.
I wanna learn to do it this way too. All I know is that you do make up a cross first or something? No idea lol
So I ended up on your channel because of Mattys vid explaining your new found situation, and i ended up falling deep into the rabbit hole... like I've been here for easily 3 hours man. You've got that "it" and you can see that by how each video you upload has changed little by little to keep up with the times and whats hot, or working in that moment. You've got some insane skills, and as a fan/editor I'd love to see as many after effects vids you can make. Keep doin you bro.
Bro is genius
This makes me kinda sad I looked it up now. Although i'd also be willing to bet i wouldn't have the patience to have done it all solo. Well played though!!
100% agree it’s about not giving up and giving in to google. Many problems in life are for you to solve, not you friends, your parents or google😊 took me 45 hours.
4:20 ...what else teaches you solving problems is today's sponsor brilliant.org...
The way you do the 5x5 is fundamentally different and MUCH more difficult than every tutorial i can find. Thats all ill say to avoid spoilering their method for you, but you might want to think of a different way. How did you solve the 4x4?
a tip for the 5x5, don't do layer by layer, do the center and tham solve the edge pieces, than you have a normal 3x3 to solve
Matt: trying to solve the cube for MONTHS.
Me: ha ha tutorial lets go
I have often considered all the advantages of being a "boomer" 🤷🏼♂️😂. I have also always thought that one of the BIGGEST advantages is the fact that for the majority of our life if we wanted to solve a problem we had to "figure it out". There was no internet/google, cell phones in essence no "easy" path to solving problems. Only your circle of friends to rely on and the majority of the time they struggled with similar problems so we just had to "do the work". This taught us how to solve problems, how to think effectively about solving problems, and in the end, gave us the confidence that "everything is figureoutable" if you put in the time. That confidence is priceless in life. If you "google it" you are not learning anything. Not only are you not solving the problem, but you are also not learning HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS... I am always ok with the "OK BOOMER" comment/dis because I know it comes from a lack of knowledge/life experience...🙏🏻❤️ This is not a slam on the younger people, always keep in mind that old(er) people have been exactly where you are at some stage in their life we have done great things and looking back, a lot of not so great things... kinda like "been there and done that" type of deal. Those of us who solved Rubix did it just like you did Matt....Great Message Matt...👍
Thanks so much for sharing! I see how problem solving is a very valuable skill!
I'm someone who learned to solve a Rubik's cube intuitively. It took me 5 or 6 months, to be honest. That feeling was awesome!
I started with a picture cube.
how many hours a day?
@@drygordspellweaver8761 I think I would spend 6 or 7 hours, or maybe even more.
I’m curious what your approach to solving it is. I solved the Rubik’s cube intuitively as well and my approach was to solve the corners of the cube first, then two opposite layers, then the middle layer.
It took me 6 or 5 months I was looking I looked at pictures and layers of the cube the videos kinda helped but not by much the pictures helped looking at different stages I didn't get the whole f2l I was just thinking visualized that works better for me
I'm 14 but 3-4 years ago I was thinking that how a person can solve Rubik's just by internet every one doesn't have same situation and at that time I don't remember but only 3-4 times I solved the whole cube except 1 corner piece but now when I watched tutorials I know how I can solve Rubik's cube but after watching this video I am trying to solve Rubik's cube without any others algorithm until I completely understand how it works
your cube is impossible a twisted corner means that you or someone else twisted the corner by grabbing it and just twisting it
@@robloxstuff1355 ikr, it happened to me 3-4 times

Use a different strategy.

Upload a vid of how you solve it
Hmm, I found one of these 80's toys in my child playbox back in the 90's. I learned to solve it in a few days. Probably well under 10 hours. I even suck at math but can see patterns. I solve the 6 center pieces easy, learned the algorithms. So when I messed up the corner pieces I could reconfigure the center pieces in a few minutes or so. The corner pieces where like solving a 2x2. Not sure why that was harder. Oh well I don't suck at math? Thanks for letting me know TH-cam. Still won't help me with doing my taxes.
The rubiks cube is a really interesting puzzle . Your Dedication and Hardwork will make you a speed cuber (can solve a cube in about 10 second).We got another member for our speedcubing community . welcome bro!!!!

@@cubingzone8898 That's cool!
You should definitely try the pyraminx puzzle. It's much easier and alot of people can do it with no help
You should explain what your method was so we believe you
Anybody else just not believe it, im not saying its impossible, hundreds of people have learnt to solve rubiks cubes by themselves, but at 2:50 ish, you use the algorithm pretty much taught to everyone when they first learn to solve a cube to finish the first 2 layers, literally the first algorith i learnt, i just dont know what the odds are that you figured it out by yourself and it happens to be the exact way everyone learns it from google
I don’t know what to tell ya! Believe what you want but I thought myself that pattern with trial and error along with the rest
True
I feel like someone that was trying to figure it out wouldn’t think of f2l
