These Rubik's Cube Challenges were supposed to be easy...
They said solving 1 side would be easy. Well, I have bad news.

The secret to reducing 1/6th of your solve time is to solve 5 sides instead of 6.

What what!!? I’ve been lied to my whole life!
No.. He's found feliks secret! Edit: I have never gotten more than like 2 likes on a comment. Tysm!!
Started speed solving just because of your videos 🙌
@@greenlite37 me too
I average around 14-15 seconds with a PB of 9.79 Seconds. The key to getting better is not just practice, it is DELIBERATE practice. Just solving the cube a whole bunch of time will only get you so far. If you wish to get better, then you need to deliberately practice on specific things like look-ahead, finger tricks, optimising solutions etc.
I average 12-14 with a PB of 7.77
I average 21 seconds with a pb of 10.9 lol
Same dude, I agree Ao5: 15.4 PB: 10.34
I average the same
Great tip. I've been on and off speedcubing for years and my pb currently is only 44s, ok it isn't great but I'm trying to focus on practicing specific things
But can you do the legendary seven sided solve?
Nah, when yall can do the legendary pi sided solve then ur a pro..
It's possible with the online 4D cube 🤔
Lol
@@OrangeC7 Since I already did a 12-sided solve I can assure you a 7 sided one is possible even IRL. ...The thing is, don't use a cube. A megaminx should do the trick
@@OrangeC7 some 3D rubik's things can do that.
The last challenge is the _perfect_ example of all knowledge, and no practice. Because it's different, you're not used to it. "Shortcuts" such as looking for the white corner don't work the same because you need to remind yourself what your cross color is, especially if the color schemes are not standard setup, or even standard colors. An easier example of this is when you try to become color neutral, or even dual neutral. When you're used to white cross, and you do yellow cross, you can end up placing Red/Blue into the Red/Green slot because that's what you're used to.
I always solved my cube as color neutral for that very specific reason. I'm not fast, but I'm flexible.
Ive started to try and become dual neutral and it was fun to see jperm struggle as much I currently do
@@krishkalra756 I admit I have a preference for blue, red and orange. I rarely start with green, white or yellow for some reason. I think it is because I have a harder time finding those pieces due to lower contrast between them on my cube. Gotta practice that.
kzhead.info/sun/oMuRfLatbIGwqX0/bejne.html
Seeesh I average 21s and Jperm probably beats that with beginner method
I actually think the last “bonus challenge” definitely demonstrates an important point that’s super relevant to this video: the first handful of challenges were all knowledge/zero practice, the first bonus challenge was very little knowledge/lots of practice, and the last bonus challenge was tons of knowledge AND tons of practice *except* the time you spent practicing on a normal cube to gain quick recognition was suddenly not useful. You couldn’t just transfer your recognition to the new color scheme. It demonstrates how important training your brain to recognize the color patterns on the cube is. How do you do that? Yep, you guessed it, practice! Really cool, informative video, thanks Dylan!
I really like the colors on that last cube. Something about them is very pleasing, visually.
For three sides challenge ,you can solve the cube normally till OLL , and then instead of one looking the pll,use the A perm algorithm by keeping the headlights on back so that you end up with any one of the U-perms, pretty sure that would have been way faster!
That’s 2-Look PLL where you do 2 algorithms to solve PLL. The problem is, these two alga are quite long and recognition between the two does build up, which is why 1-Look PLL is better because it combines recognition and 1 algorithm of decent length, plus the algorithms can be adapted to your feel and solving, whereas 2-Look has fixed algorithms.
@@raininq3767 yes I know that’s 2 looking, but the job is to just solve 3 sides ,so we just gotta do an APerm once from the correct position and stop the timer. Till OLL part , Dylan can easily do that in 6 or so seconds , and this in the worst case takes two or three seconds more , so he essentially would solve the cube(3 sides) in approximately 9 secs
I think he deliberatly didn't think about it like this, because starting with normal CFOP kind of destroys the purpous of the video? But if you just wanted to do it as fast as possible I totally agree
Or J perm and F perm
kzhead.info/sun/oMuRfLatbIGwqX0/bejne.html
6:16 I thought it will take 0 seconds mathematically
“It ended in a J perm!” Fantastic. I really like the challenges. Great stuff!!!
"Mathematically, that means solving all eight corner pieces takes me zero seconds." Yes. That is how you math. 🧐

7:59 🤣 I love the comment!
Okay, that last bonus challenge cube looks GORGEOUS! I love pastel colors so I might me a little biased though 🙃

I haven’t cubed in like 5 years. Ive been feeling empty and gaming wasn’t satisfying me anymore so I dusted off my Dayan Zhanchi and started back up. I used to watch CBC religiously and he was inactive when I checked but I found your channel and I’m glad to see the cubing community is still “thriving.” I enjoy your videos, and made my first purchase at Speedcubeshop. Thanks for what you do! My current Average is 40 seconds and PB is 23 (PLL skip). Goal is sub 30 Avg! Edit: 2 months later and my average is 28 seconds
Happy to hear that and good luck with your goals :)
kzhead.info/sun/oMuRfLatbIGwqX0/bejne.html
That is easy, you will get there very fast. I am currently averaging about 17-18 but on a really bad cube. It is so bad that I am confident that I can bring down my average to less than 15 seconds just by getting a better one.
@@Anonymationsthecoolanimator is it worse than my Rubik’s brand that I put Vaseline in a year ago?
wow, never seen a PLL skip in my life before, it is so rare
alt color schemes is what you should probably practice then. I have had a few cubes, and all have taught me what I know AND really what I don’t know. then I migrated to pushing myself to do every solve in a different start (color). shows very interesting patterns and color combinations (in the solve) sometimes. columns first. that’s a new one on me.
Your videos are full of comedy I really feel motivational and after learning 3x3x3,4x4x4 rubik's cube I decided to learn blindfolded cubeing with 3x3, with your video about explaining the buffering technic with cards I really get confused but I am trying my best
J perm at 5:25 : I had some pauses Me: k solved first layer lemme take a bathroom break
Got a 58 once and an average of 1:34 in 7 days using the beginner method. lucky random f2l cases randomly popping into place without deliberate construction also helped and solving the middle layer is fun when all the pieces needed to make the second layer whole, are already there but in the wrong spot is a joy to work at because I can look at the piece coming out and instantly realize which color it corresponded to. Using a Bluetooth cube like the i2,i3 really helped me understand cube notations and made it easier to learn algorithms by glancing at motion lines and reading cube notations
Hi J Perm, I received the J Perm RS3 M 2020 about a week ago. I Love it. It’s like magic the turns are really satisfying. Thx
I solved my first cube using your tutorial. Thank you Dylan!
I stoped practicing the 3x3 cube. my average time kept increasing and I didn't know why but now that I have watched your video I know the solution to it thanks jperm 😊
How often would you check your average time
@@tysont3323 I just kept solving and I ckeck the average time of like 100 or 50 solves
kzhead.info/sun/oMuRfLatbIGwqX0/bejne.html
@@zaairadnan7256 what's your average
Really glad you threw in the beginner method solve. It was fun to see how fast you go with the same method I use. My PB is 28 seconds, average about 40 Anyway, dropping a comment to say I loved the video.
Bonus challenge 2: I do that in every practice session, because I have stickered my GAN12PE in a non standard way: white-blue, green-red, and yellow-orange. During practice I either grab that one, or my GTS3M, so I have to keep in mind which cube I am using, and not accidentally think about my other cube (which I may or may not have done a few times).
I have a 40 second average so I’m glad you reassured me about practice cause yesterday I learned so many algs and tricks hoping I’d get faster. That’s all thanks
Solve the cube treating the corners as the centers. Similarly, you could also treat the edges as the centers. Mechanically its not the same but I mean to use the layer-by-layer approach similarly to regular solves.
The ones who solve a Rubik's cube side-by-side: I can only solve 5 sides
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT SO MUCH keep up the great work
you should try a 4x4 solve but only inner layers or 5x5 if this is even possible, love your videos have been watching you for a couple of years you have helped me get faster, thank you J Perm 😀
Columns first seems like an ok method. Columns in 2 seconds, centers 0.5, edges 3 to 4, top layer alg 0.5. You would need a bit of practice to reach these but and they are complete guesses based on me trying slowly without actually looking at the method. For it to be effective you would need every pll skip from oll alg.
Cube: - has pastel color scheme - Jperm: - confused screaming -
your the only youtuber i recommend for cube videos for fun and tutorials
Love the arctic fox timer😍
What the..? I was just scrolling through your channel. And i was thinking when you will upload a video and notification appeared. LOL. What a coincidence. Anyways, gonna watch it.❤
The key to getting better is pace yourself. every month or so I take a 5 day break from cubing and when I come back it feels a lot smoother. I’ve even decreased my times before
Yeah,that works for me as well i got to being sub 23 from sub 25 after a break
@@mohitdhaker4480 yeah I went from just over 30 to about 25 seconds
Frog
@@TheIliteratePoet me as well but it was a 3 day break
u solving the different color scheme is me solving in front of my family. love your vids :DDDD
Oh Wow, i love your videos keep up the good work :D
0:26 unless you twisted a center lol
How do you twist a center lmao
So good it takes 0 secs for him to solves corners 😂 Random cuber “how fast can you solve all the corners?” J perm “ picks up cube” Random cuber “😧”
Have been waiting for this
Hey j perm I love your all video you have reached me how to cube, how to solve 2x2 3x3 4x4 5x5 and others too I love your channel I wish you never leave your channel :)
Here’s a challenge: solve the Rubik’s cube but for every turn, do 3 turns to the opposite way instead. And time yourself :)
Only moving in double prime moves is interesting, wonder if it's possible.
@@ofrilifshitz7518 in order to solve a cube in double moves, it must be scrambled in double moves, since you need every side to have been turned by a multiple of 2. He's already done a video on this
U2=U6
This suggestion gets posted on literally every challenge video
kzhead.info/sun/oMuRfLatbIGwqX0/bejne.html
I only practiced the beginner method but my best is still a respectable 24 seconds even though my average is more like 45 seconds lol Great video!
same I average around 37 seconds but my PB is 26 seconds and it wasn't even a super good scramble I got an OLL skip but F2L was average and idek how I did it. I use CFOP btw
i literally have those numbers, maybe my average is like 5 seconds slower and best is also 24
Thank you, helps a lot
my first speedcube had that colourscheme, it was SUPER fast that when i switched to the cube you recommended, the Rs3 M 2020 i was kind of sad that the cube wasnt as fast as my old one and that if you made it looser so that itll be the same speed as my old speed cube itll be really flimsy, but unlike the old speedcube i own it had really good corner cutting. I wouldve liked a faster cube tho
For solving 4 sides just solve the cube and then flip 2 edges 😂
Yea😂
Not only do you mathematically take 0 sec to solve the corners, you actually take 0 sec to solve corners, because you solve them with the edges. That's why f2l+full oll+ full pll is faster than the beginner f2l (corners then edges)+2 look oll+2 look pll
Its so satisfying to watch him solve his cubes
2:50 I can confirm this, I learned 4 look cfop not too long ago, and I barely average 50 seconds, while you managed to get like 10 seconds with 4 look, and that's because I haven't practiced it much, like I literally learned the method like a week ago
2:50 I cannot express how accurate this is. I average like sub 15 now and I haven't learned anything new from when I averages about 30 seconds. I actually have been getting sub 10 solves more recent and even got a sub 9
same !!!
To solve 3 sides just get a J Perm!
For 4 sides do R2 U2'
U perms work 2
Megamind
11:04 i like how it's called this thing lmao
Hey jperm, what you said about practice is completely true. When I had a 1 dollar cube, i practiced with it till i almost reached sub-1 minute. After I got a speedcube(non-magnetic MF3RS) i reached sub-30 only with intuitive cross and Intuitive f2l (and ofcourse, practice) I recently bought a RS3M2020, and only after learning full PLL and little bit of f2l (5 to 6 algs) AND practice, .... . . .I reached sub-20, hitting my PB at 15.6 secs. Without learning full CFOP. Throughout this journey, your advices helped a lot. Thanks
Babe wake up J perm uploaded
hey j perm! i use this method for my F2L, i insert edges, then corners after and i average under 25s with it. when i use F2L however i average high 20s. so can i use this method or do i have to do F2L to be fast? and i do i have to learn full oll? it doesn’t make a difference to me making the cross and i don’t have the time. but i did learn most of full pll. great job on the videos keep it up!
bro, do f2l normally, itll pay off
I would suggest learn F2L, then full pll, and then full oll. It will hurt your times a lot but eventually it will pay off.
@@buckethead60 i know most of full pll and i know F2L. but full oll, i don’t have the time. the cross is easy to quickly make, so i don’t think full oll is worth it. i think i’m better off improving on full pll and f2l rn, and just getting real fast with 2-look oll. i mean j perm averaged under 11s with 4look last layer so i know i don’t need full oll.
you should learn f2l, and at first you'll see your items dip a bit, for me it was even 20 seconds, but eventually with practice you'll get back to your normal average and even better
@@Homeless_Pigeon_History guys, i know F2L, but i’m asking if i should improve on it instead of my f2l method: and now i’m guessing yes..
No idea why you channel popped up on my timeline but instant sub. So cool. Lol
Thank for helping me solve a 2x2/3x3 and your tips I fastet
5:53 why not use 3-style yo?
10:15 As someone who learned the beginner method and subsequently used it as a sort of fidgit tool for a couple years idly I managed a 57s time without even intentionally trying to learn to get faster. Absolutely is possible.
Same here! Been doing the beginner method on and off and my best is 58sec! But now that I'm binging cubing videos, I think I'd like to learn some of the advanced stuff. 🤣
i once got a 30s beginner method because its all ive ever known, and i had to go fast for reasons
Practice has helped alot I used to be around a 1 minute solver now I'm in mid to low 30s still improving
Just brilliant.
Hey jperm if you have the gan 11m, may I ask whether the 11m has stronger edge-to-corner magnets than those on the 11m pro/duo? (to make up for the loss of corner magnets) I tried a 11m pro without the corner magnet sticks and it felt very unstable. I am wondering whether the 11m is the same?
I don't know but my guess is they are the same. If you want a cheaper GAN 11 you can check out the 11 M Duo
I was thinking the same, the gan 11m is basically unusable, the magnets are so damn strong
@@JPerm i guess i'll try to buy both to find out lol
@@C4CH3S you mean so damn weak
@@alankuo2727 lol the magnetic bump on the 11m is insanely strong compared to other cubes, it makes the cube really bad. I have a gan 12 and the gan 12 without corner core magnets has the magnet strength of like the stock wrm or a magnet modded rs3m, the 11m is levels over thst
I swear jperm my second cousins dogs friend can solve 5 sides

The timer looks insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥
J perm I see your videos are the best in all KZhead cubers you taught me how to solve a 3x3
jesus loves you !
Amen
An idea for a challenge: go from an unsolved state to an only-double-turn-solvable state (so all opposite colors on both sides), and maybe to add a layer of complexity go to an only-double-turn-solvable state where at least one of the sides has a specific pattern on it
Can we appreciate this timer it’s beautiful
Hey Dylan, don't know if u would see this but i was hoping u would make a tutorial about how to solve a mirror cube with all the face being pictures (meaning the pieces is a mixture of multiple colours/paterns). I know how to solve a regular mirror cube but I just don't know how to orient the directions of the pictures so that it appears back to how it was. Thanks.
Your new timer is supper ultimate cool in looks
Im lovin the timer bro
You’re so right. I took probably 15 seconds off my average with essentially NO more knowledge. Just 20000 plus solves under my belt. Which is cool because, if i learn all the new things as well, i’ll probably be sub 10! Motivating
Let’s get jperm to 1 mil! We’re almost there!!
6:10 ah yes, solving corners in 0 seconds makes a lot of sence
I love your new timer
Hey @J Perm I've been watching you for about a year and I've watched ur beginners method video a couple of time but I am having trouble understanding it..I can solve the crosses really easy but I can't go further. I am wondering what I should be doing.. also I bought your j perm cube, a pyraminx, a super ivy cube , a mini 3x3 and a 4x4and I used jperm
my fastest solve begginer method was 19.52, kinda cool to see you hit that same number with the same method…maybe its time to start learning some advanced stuff for myself!
I would like to add on, that practice and knowledge will surely make you better but one more important thing is THE RESOURCES! They add a lot to our lives, let’s take a 1980’s cube vs today tan 12 maglev! Of course better resources can make you BETTER! But hats off to this man for making such a quality content.
You should do more of the solve permutation only
the power of practice thing works really well, when i first got my 3x3 i was stuck on it for a day then 12 hours all the way down to my PB of 1:09 im using a rubik's offical and its starting to slow me down
This guys a legend bruh
Hey Dylan, I was wondering if you can make a vid on how to solve a square-1. I and many others will appreciate it if you can
it's fun doing that challenge with bigger cubes. i do that with my 7x7, it's cute
as a cuber whos transitioning from beginner to cfop, i can surely say that it takes a lot of practice to improve your time. i mean, i timed myself lately (well not the whole, since i immediately give up), compared from my average sub 1 min in beginner method, i cant even complete f2l in under 1 min. but im sure with more practice, i could be faster.
You know, the restriction was not to solve all the sides to complete 3, 4, or 5 sides. But you could still solve the cube entirely, and perform some kind of J perm, or T perm to mess up a few sides to have a faster time. Maybe solve all sides, but make a 2-swap of three top layer edges for 3 sides. For permutation only, maybe do a full solve, and make a superflip.
i really loved the music for this vid, idk why i liked it so much, i just did
Like your new timer
You are the nicest prson in the world u help me so much and i wish u do very well in life becuse u alwasy make me alaugh and stuff so i just want you to know i love ur script and u r great
Jperm : I’m going to be doing some wacky stuff Me: * just laughing so hard*
I just learned the cube 2 days ago and memorized it all (beginner solve) and now today 2 days later I can solve it in 1:32 and under 2 minutes consistently. Thanks for all of the videos you make they helped inspire me and have fun doing it. And whenever I was practicing my algorithms and solving it so thanks for the tips and stuff and the amazing content ❤ ❤ (and right now I'm trying to learn a new way to solve it faster (and I use a normal Rubik's cube))
What's with that timestamp
@Memes shorts I'm just trying to be funny, even if I don't have a good sense of humor.
So smooth
to get the cross you need a checkerboard pattern then to the Y shape thingy the rotate the Y
I like the timer design
YEEES A NEW VIDEO!
can you please do a skewb tutorial 👌 i cant find a good tutorial and you do the best tutorials
Jperm in any video involving anything to do with 2x2: Now guys I haven’t practice 2x2 in eons so this isn’t going to be too good.
for 3 sides you could just solve up to pll and do random algs until you get a u perm j perm or f perm
Can’t wait till you hit a million subs
I was wishing for new vid nd here it is what a look ajead
4 sides:cfop and auf is (U2 R2)3 3 sides:cfo+a perm 2 sides:cfo 1 side:cf
Hey Dylan, can you test out this 4x4 method I made since I don't have my own 4x4 to test it. It starts by making all the edge pieces, then solving them, then using commutators to solve the centerpieces, then solving all the corners, please let me know what the flaws of this method were.
