How to solve a Gear Cube

  • Here is my Gear Cube Tutorial.
    Gear Cube from Amazon: bit.ly/GearCubeBlack
    I came up with this method completely on my own. It can be solved very quickly. My best times out of 15 solves were 11.11 and 12.35.
    A note on notation. For a U hold the bottom layer still and move the top layer clockwise 180 degrees. For an R hold the left layer still and move right layer clockwise 180 degrees For an R2, hold the left layer still and move the right layer 360 degrees. My instagram: / red.kb
    Here's the gear I'm using:

    Excellent guide!
    Just to add - when you have the Gear Cube with the Tony Fisher Stickers (with stickers on the inner edges) after you do Kenneth solution - if the inner stickers are not alined put the side where all the inner edges are mixed in-front of you (in this position all the horizental inner edges will have two match parallel edges) and do the following algorithm:
    R,D,R,D,R,D
    This should fix the inner edges on all sides.
    Good luck! :-)

      @@aneskatzaev9152 Yes it is. It grabs people's attention, that's for sure. Everyone I've come across assumes it's harder to solve than a Rubik's cube, but it's actually easier. There aren't nearly as many algorithms as a Rubik's cube. REDKB does a great job of explaining how to solve it. So yes, it's worth buying. You'll have fun with it.

    @greenday61892 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had a situation where I only had x swaps for the edges, so not knowing the orientation required I did the same orientation as the parallel swap, thinking it would work similarly to when your top edges on the Rubik's Cube are across from each other rather than two correct next to each other (in Dan Brown's method), but it just screwed it up more. What's the proper orientation to hold the cube then when you have to do the x swap?

    I have already noticed one thing though (after my 2nd solve I think) when you get to the edge orientating, it will either point like a / or a \ and when it's like / you do R4, and if it's \ do R'4 instead of R8.

      @@ThatSB My defense for his comment, would be that a normal quarter turn will not allow you to continue on any other turn. Therefore saying U R2, you cannot perform an R2 without moving the top layer twice. Since the normal U is turning the top layer twice, by simple connection (and watching the video) the R2 would be double layer turns.

    Hey Kenneth. Suppose when it comes to positioning the edges that one plane is already solved, one plane needs to be X-swapped and the third plane to be parallel swapped but the OTHER WAY round. (eg. from a solved cube U R2 U R2 R U2 R U2). This feels so similar it surely must be possible to solve it in one short algorithm, but no rotation or reflection of U R2 U R2 works. Any ideas?
