This was easy to solve (before i brought it to school and someone broke it, i really didn't care because it was a cheap one) and I solved it multiple times just messing around with it/ scrambling it. I think its because you cant twist the edges 90 degrees, only 180, drastically reducing how much it can really be "scrambled".
Some models have those "edge pieces" unpainted, which reduces the difficulty to some degree. Still, it's a fun cube. Not hard as the rubik, but not super-easy either.
@MeMyselfAndPi I have a really nice shortcut for when the edges are flipped. I don't have a gear cube so I pretend my rubik's cube to be one and use the same moves as I would do on a gear cube. So what I notice it that there are always 2 rings/slices/whatever you call it of edges that are flipped. So you have 2 faces where no edges are correct and 4 where 2 edges are flipped and 2 are correct. Turn the cube so that you face the side with no edges correct and do this algorithm: RzRzRzRzRzR
i dont know which but this is the exteme or ultimate 1 has a layer that can have the upper or lower layer move once without having the middle layer turn a quarter turn
I may want to buy this puzzle but When I look for it on mefferts the edge pieces aren't stickered? do the stickers come with the puzzle or do you need to buy them sepperatly?
I got this cube, and managed to solve it. But wanted to see other people's method. This is first video I've found with this specific cube. What is this version of the cube called?

@@BobaVett555 i think it is gear extreme (gear v2)
my cube has a fixed middle layer, meaning when I rotate an adjacent layer to that middle layer, only that layer rotate without the opposite layer rotating. plus, none of the edge pieces rotate
i guess its okay to watch a tutorial now that i've figured one out at a competition. i can even impress the ladies saying: "hey, see this impressive-looking puzzle? i figured it out on my own." not really :'(
When you showed the move to invert the orientstion of the edge pieces, white was on top. When you were done, white was still (mostly) on top, but the center square was yellow. How do you do it and keep the whole side white?
Just solved it using his video and I had the same problem... However, when you do the turns to make sure the edge pieces match up, the white centre piece returns back
How can a person find those algorithms ? just trying? great mind? computer? math? How many moves has this gear cube ultimate? How difficult is it compared to a classical 3x3x3 rubik?
This cube is small enough that very occasionally you can solve it by accident and remember what you did. Sometimes for the short algorithms logic suffices. Another thing is that if you keep repeating a sequence of moves then you will always get back to where you started, so there is no risk in exploring by continually repeating a move to see what happens. Also, try regular 3 by 3 alg.s if u know them, because some also work for the gear cube. I personally wrote a mathematica program to make algorithms to solve the cube as (look up orbit and stabilizer in group theory, I took their basis). In the process you might realize that some configurations (and which ones) don't show up, allowing you to take shortcuts. I guess it's just all of the above.
Thanks! I have this cube, and by doing some research about Gear Cube, it's seems to be different than this one! Also on my cube, the orange color is missing, instead it is purple!
Im viewer number 4796. The year 4796 will be a leap year starting on a Monday, which has 2 Friday the thirteenths, 1 in September and 1 in December. HR 4796 is the name of a star system consisting of two stars orbitng around their common center of mass, approximately 220 light-years away in the constellation of Centaurus, which contains the Alpha Centauri system, a triple star system consisting of a bright binary star to which the much fainter red dwarf Proxima Centauri is gravitationally bound.
I need help! I have a different gear cube. It has a ring that doesn't move by gears but turns like a 3x3 rubik's cube. The other two rings move by gears, and I need help solving it and the instructions aren't helping. Can you help?
Wow, the first time I turned the cube, I tried turning it with one finger like how most speedcubers turn regular cubes, and I got my thumb stuck in a gear. xD
"Oh and by the way the method I'm about to show you: *I CAME UP WITH IT* "
and?
Weird flex but I feel it
He sounds so confident and proud that he came up with the method Lol.
bro it works....i previously solved was that the edge peices was not aligned...so thanks to this guy.....best method very helpfull
Best Gear Cube video by FAR! Well done!
I dont have a gear cube, and have no plans on getting a gear cube, but the way that he makes his videos made me interested in this video. Great video.
thank you so much for this video, without it I wouldn't be to solve my gear cube 👍

You make it harder to solve than the other videos
I started watching you without being interested in cubing at all... now i am and bought 2 cubes already :D
"Do a full 360 degree turn" *does a 180 degree turn* "now do another 160 degree turn" *does another 180 degree turn*

I put my volume on max and was wondering why I couldn't hear it, but I realized I had it muted. Woops. Good tutorial x]

my brain hurts just by looking at the thing xd
It's actually really easy
CryptionGaming try the mirror cube it will hurt your eyes
It is the whole point of the thing
thanks for the line "just twist it until it fits" helped me solve it. bye
That is the coolest looking cube EVER!!!
That was easy and help ful but please show the algorithms slowly 🙏
Can't believe it was uploaded 11 years ago ✌️
Awesome puzzle! Where can I buy one of the copy of it?
i dont know which but this is the exteme or ultimate 1 has a layer that can have the upper or lower layer move once without having the middle layer turn a quarter turn
yes! thank you so much for responding to my request! your the first person that shows a fisher sticker mod tutorial.
I may want to buy this puzzle but When I look for it on mefferts the edge pieces aren't stickered? do the stickers come with the puzzle or do you need to buy them sepperatly?
@WoZhenBang
I uploaded it last week & set it up for scheduled publishing.
Thank you very much, but could you maybe tell me where I can buy one because I would love to have one?? The tutorial was great though!!
Alex Westwick go to eBay and type gear cube
Cubicle.us
zcube.hk
Thank you for this nice and easy method, after some practicing it is really nice to use. 😃
scrambled to not scrambled illuminati confirmed!!!!!

i like how you switch to a solved gear cube when you say solve
That thing looks awsome
Awesome! I finds lots of video but I can't see the gear has the small edges like this. Give you a like before watching this video :))) (y)

@jameslam19 its HIS first solveing tutorial in 2 years
Nice cube, nice turorial, thanks!
can u pls show an exploded view of this cube?..i just want to see corner , edge centre and centre pieces seperately..
Awesome cube! :)
where did you buy this cube i cant find it anywere?
I have a weird parity case with a single edge not oriented correctly when everything else is. Any idea how to fix it?
where did you get this? i cant find one anywhere with the white side like that... i only find purple...
i want this cube. where should i buy this one?
That voice break at the start! XD
Are there any cool patterns for the gear cube.
i guess its okay to watch a tutorial now that i've figured one out at a competition. i can even impress the ladies saying: "hey, see this impressive-looking puzzle? i figured it out on my own."
not really :'(
can i have the link of where you bought that?
you made this more difficult than it needed to be. there is a MUCH simpler method.

Bro u r great solved and learned it in just 5 minutes 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
i have recently aquired a super square 1 and i have learned how to solve a square 1
canu make a tutorial on mhow to solve a super square 1???
where i can same like this cube plz say me
what is the exact name of this cube plzzzzzzzzz
i have so much intrest in this cube to learn
It's littearly called THE GEAR CUBE! DINGUS :I First we arn't reading the descriptions, NOW WE ARN'T READING THE TITTLES? ._.
No. You can only turn sides 180 degrees. and even then, yes you could solve it for the most part like a 3x3, but the gears would be geared improperly.
does it change anything if you sticker the inner edge pieces?
Since out of the box its not stickered.
Good tutorial, I found it fairly easy to follow, although I don't own a gear cube.
Amazing video this helped me understand the gear cube thank you
Is it like a gear ball because I only have a gear ball
0:57 Youu Aaarrreee SOOOOOO COOOOL , i subbed and I SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON
" I came up with it !!!!!!"

is that an partner only option if not how do u do it?
I love the blooper.

Where did you get a fully stickered gear cube?
I'm finding gear cubes that aren't stickered like this one and it just doesn't sit with me.
Will you please make this video again with notation?????????
@someguywhocanfly I too thought this, but in fact he is saying "Parity".
where did you get the stickers like that...? plz let me know
Check for the Tony Fisher inspired stickers on Cubesmith.
For the last step, u can just turn the right side 360 degrees and the centers will match up, that last step was uneccesary
what is th edifference between a gear cube and a gear cube extreme, im so confused
me myself and Pi, I love th name.. Subscribed.
Dude the comment was posted a year ago XD i have like 2 of them now... I was just obsessed with pi's vids a long time ago

+Joshua Hunt Same here! I am considering also getting Meffert's Gear Ball, but this cube will drive me insane if it is not solved.
+Mentos Cubing it's the gear cube ultimate that I have and there are tutorials. I found one on redkb's channel and now I can solve it
+Joshua Hunt I don't know about yours, but I actually did a bit of research and mine is a gear cube extreme.
+Mentos Cubing it's practically the same thing with just one extra step and redkb goes over it in his tutorial as well
Lovely.
Can you solve it like a 3x3 then re-orientate the edges?
@Robolawrence23
yes it is.
What about the near center pieces?
what type of gear cube is that?
Interesting video.
Nice, enjoyed this one
My cube is different?? I have a middle section that is unaffected by the gears, any ideas?
how much did u get it for?
@FamGuyFan7733 yeah, but he is doing like R2, not R
where can you get one?
very helpful
@dude16aws i got the origanal not tony fisher stickers (in this video)
That voice crack at the start... lol
I don't have one... yet. There is one on it's way from amazon.
mine dont have the stickers in the middle only on the outsides and center piece like a 3x3
the little bracket shaped stickers are not there
Wow, the first time I turned the cube, I tried turning it with one finger like how most speedcubers turn regular cubes, and I got my thumb stuck in a gear. xD
where to get that ??
Why isnt this the new video on the top part with the listing of your videos
Thank you
@otaviocappellaro right and i was really confused at that fact
When I do the first corner pair a second one does not line up
does anyone know what this puzzle is called? its geared with 12 diamond shaped faces
gear cube.. in title lol
They're not talking about the gear cube, they're talking about a different puzzle.
oh
Potato ghost cube?
How do you take it appart
@heavypoly6 No, they can't
can i buy it
what brand of cube is this, it's the only one that seems to have more sticker than plastic
looks like the mefferts one just with stickers from cubesmith
oh cool
I used an ordinary speed cube then I used normal moves and wides(like U and u/Uw).
if you look closely, you can see that in the first 6 seconds it solves itself.
Thank you soooooooooo much for this video i solved my gear cube
Help I'm trying to solve my gear cube, everything else looks solved but the tiny little edges are different colors...how tf do I solve it?
