Are you looking for a super easy way to impress people with your Rubik's Cube solving skills? Does learning to solve a regular Rubik's Cube in 5 seconds sound way too hard? In this video, I'm going to teach you how you can still blow people's minds, but with much less effort. I'm going to teach you how to solve a 2x2 Rubik's Cube in less than a second.

I feel like the 2x2 is the only cube where it's possible that scrambling takes longer than solving.

Optional step 4: learn EG. Optional step 5: learn LEG-1 and TCLL. Optional step 6: learn 1LLS. ... ... ... Optional step 42 (?): learn all 3 milion or so solutions to all possible scrambles.

@@joshwilliams5835 Pff trivial!
Optimal step 42 is probably not optimal because you have to go through those 3 million permutations, and find the exact solution, without any mistakes, all under 15 seconds of inspection. So probably going to be probably impossible...

Wow I guess I got really lucky! There were 3 sides, where whichever one you chose you get an ll skip! And thank god I was using a stackmat and I got a 0.48! Haha that is absolutely crazy! (This happened a month back or something like that..)

Do you recommend learning CLL over EG ? Because I´m using EG and I´m curious if CLL is better. Obviously for CLL you only need one alg instead of two but the disadvantage is that you have to build one complete layer instead of just a side. And I think the EG algs are a bit shorter than the CLL algs (but I´m not sure)
@@timeforclock2636 thats actually really smart^^. thx
EG only needs 1 alg
learn cll then use anti cll, and boom you know full eg
@@icuber8835 You also need to learn eg-1 cases

You don't need a 4 mover to get sub-1, my PB (0.92) was a 5 or 6 mover if I remember correctly
Yes, but the point was that a 4 mover really helps
Better than a title that says "Advanced EG-1 tutorial to help you get sub 1 at 2x2"

Were did you find the number of 4 move scrambles or how did you count them? I would like to know the probabilities to get 5 or 6 move solves, or the average optimal solution for 2x2.

It actually depends on the scramble
How to get a 2x2 speedcube: "Hey mom can I get a-" *"N o"*
Honestly, you can probably skip lbl and go straight to Ortega since there are only 3 extra algs you need to learn (and they are extremely easy to learn).
EVEN FASTER IS EG METHOD IN WHICH WE EASILY ONE LOOK
But it's harder
To learn
i learned cfop and then tried lbl with my 2x2 and it actually worked ;)
"that's the reason this method is so powerful" MORE POWERFUL THAN GUY FIERI???
Can you please make a video on CLL? I'm trying to learn it and I'm sure others would like to as well while we're all stuck a home.

try to understand why the algs work

sometimes reversing an alg is quicker than doing it from point A to B.

Step one: do an average of 100 and don't mess up on lucky scrambles
Thank you so much Brody now i have a unofficial record of 0.53 seconds it was four moves to solve the cube and a 4 move scramble try it out for your self. The scramble is U R' U R. And also the same day I got a scramble that can take 3 moves to solve and it took me 0.38 seconds sadly it was a 3 mover so I did not count as a solve :( . The scramble is R2 U' R' F' R' F U F R2 for the 3 move scramble.
why does he use a speed stacking stack mat timer instead of a rubik's timer,look at the logo it is cup stacking
Because it’s what the comps use and is generally a good timer although I think the GAN is better
I use a 3x3 cube and I can’t do finger tricks simply because it’s not fast enough, it does not have good corner cutting, and it jams often.
Today I got a really lucky scramble And I solved it inAround five seconds also I learned how to solve the cube that day
Love It!
It takes me 1 second to take the cube
I had a 3 mover where I just had to insert the corner into red then I got about 0.2
i would not count that, as wca only alows 4 moves or more
@@AllThingsBaseball01 I was just walking down the hall in school I scrambled it then got a scramble where I had to solve one side then I just needed to fix the top

When he talk about Lbl Ortega is the same thing except for the last step you need to learn 3 more alga and when making the bottom side you don’t need to make the blocks be in the correct. Spot
