My goal has been trying to help others enjoy cubing as much as I do. This guide has taken more time than most any video I have ever made and I hope it brings more people into the world of Fewest Moves solving. Remember to ASK QUESTIONS in the comment section below if you are confused. I see every comment and I am happy to spend a little extra time to help explain a concept that I either could have explained better or just wasn’t said in the best way for you. No matter how I present these concepts, it will never be the “best” way for every person since everyone is different. Check the timestamps in the description, ask questions if you need, and remember that this is a youtube video that can be paused, slowed down, or rewatched.

I've been involved with twisty puzzles for 15 years and until very recently, last week, I had never stepped foot on FMC. I've been much more focused on non-WCA puzzles for quite some time now. However, last week, just out of curiosity I decided to put my intuitive solving skills and multiple method experience to the test and try out a few mental count FMC solves. Even though they weren't that good, I was hooked. It made the 3x3 a completely new challenge and fun for a whole new reason. After just a few days and no help I managed to get my PB of 61 moves. I decided it was time to check out how more experienced minds do this stuff. I found a few, very well made, text based guides. However, the explanations lost me very quickly. Terminology that I wasn't familiar with and not having a moving visual guide along with the explanation. A quick KZitem search brought me to you. What a GREAT guide and explanation of this stuff! I'm catching on fairly quickly and I'll certainly be watching this entire video again very soon. Big thanks for this great vid!

How would you recommend practicing FMC? Full 1 hour solves; full untimed solves; or practicing a specific technique in isolation (like blockbuilding for a few scrambles, then go back and do insertions on all of them). I use all the techniques you recommend for sub-35 but I'm barely sub-40, so I obviously need to 'git gud' :)

EO basically makes it easier to spot and build blocks. The common method for many top solvers is to dive right into EO. And then also do EO and corner orientation, possibly on all three axis. That ways the blocks form much more easily. I plan on making a video soon on that as I got a new PB of 21 with it. EO limits moves but makes it easier to find pairs.

I understood how EO is done. The question is still: Why should I do EO? Is there any good argument other than "It makes solves better in the end"? Also: How many moves is it worth? If I see a way to do it in 5 moves, is it worth doing it? Same question the other way around: How many moves can I save (on average) by doing EO? (I haven't seen the whole video yet. Please leave a time stamp if this is actually discussed later)

I really love how you made the various sides have text color (14:53) to enforce the common orientation (Green front, White top). I can tell already this is an awesome guide. Also, a general question about practice methods. Do you think it is better to practice FMC by doing solves repeatedly applying all concepts or should I focus on practicing concepts in isolation and do occasional solves to check my understanding? (Sorry if this is answered later in the video, I was just eager to ask.)

I've seen people mention "optimal DR would have been" in their comments. Does that mean they used a tool that shows you optimal DR moves from a certain position? Also, AB3C or AB5C - Is this the same as 3 and 5 corners that are 1-2-3 and 1-2-3-4-5? HTR - I see this term as a step following DR if im not mistaken, what is it? P.S. I fear I'm being quite annoying. If so, I don't mean to, apologies. I very much appreciate all the time you've taken to answer questions. I've never seen this on any channel ever! TYVM

There is a tool to find optimal DR. A couple new tools have been made but I think many use cube explorer. For 5 corners you could have 4 and 1 twisted, or some other kinds of combinations. For straight 12345 you might see "Good 5 C" HTR- is sometime setup or just that it's not full HTR. So if you have HTR-2C you would know you need to insert a corner comm at the end.

In the rNiss section. You show how improved from 2e2c1t to 3c3e by stickering and looking for a spot to apply moves. How do you know what to sticker? The remaining pieces to solve are different from when you found the 2e2c1t by going forward, inverse, forward, to when you apply the skeleton after the scramble. Do you always base what's left to solve on what the skeleton reveals as last pieces?
@SpeedCubeReview
Жыл бұрын
So I do the solution from what I have (the skeleton). Then I sticker the incorrect pieces in such a way that I can tell how they should be moved (1-2-3...) then I go back through the skeleton to see where a commutator, alg, or even just a single move can be added to change the pieces. At this point you are no longer worrying about inverse. You e now converted it into one solution with missing pieces.

First, thanks for the great tutorial! One thing I'm sort of confused by is move cancellations with insertions. If I have an 8 move corner commutator, how is it possible to cancel more than 2 (the first and the last) moves? Where are those extra moves coming from? Not really sure if that made much sense -- thanks for the tutorial!
@SpeedCubeReview

Well, it is said that cancels 4 if they completely cancel each other out. 2 from the skeleton and 2 from the commutators. After that let’s say you skeleton was ... D F L2 and your commutators starts with L2 F’ R. The L2 cancel out and the the F and F’ cancel. So you can keep on working back as more and more cancel.

You wouldn't need to do anything that would mess up EO after. EO makes it much much easier to make pairs and blocks since you never need 90° on two sides. If we go to an extreme we can look at HTR which orients all edges and corners on every axis. The entire cube can be solved with only doing 180° turns. Nearly every turn makes a pair.

I noticed again that you basicallt say the same thing, but when you are making blocks, for example, and you choose to expand your 2x2x2 to either the back or the front face, isn't the EO going to restrict you a lot in the way you're going to solve it?

EO can restrict your moves, however the about it restricts it is usually not as much as the opportunities it opens up. For example, many top solvers now on every single solve do EO-then DR- then HTR. That orient edges, then oriented edges and corners on another axis, then orient on all three axis. I find this method a bit too boring but it can be very effective.

Which techniques are good for starting out, and which are better for intermediate to advanced after you have done many solves?

You rewrite it so let's say you have Scramble R B L2 // cross (D2 F L' D) // F2L on inverse U' D2 R U // last layer You solution would be R B L2 U' D2 R U D' L F'D2

Hey Sean, take a look at this interesting scramble (from CS timer, not tnoodle...): F2 U2 R' B2 L2 R' F2 R2 D2 L2 D2 F2 B' U F2 L' F2 D B' D' F I have tried solving it, and i have a very nice 2x2x3 in 9 moves, but i cannot for the life of me figure the rest of the solve out! D2 F’ D R2 U // 2X2X2 (5/5) B2 D’ B2 R2 // Pseudo 2X2X3 (4/9) From here i got F2L in under 20 moves, F2L-1 in 14 moves etc.

I would check the inverse. So you can complete the 223 with (R) // 223 (1/10) Then you can do F2L -1 (D2 L B L' D2) // F2L-1 (5/15) or EO (D2 L' D L) // EO (4/14) That is still a lot of moves for just EO and 223, but it looks like we can do some nice stuff with it. (L B L' D2) // To get to 3e4c in 17 moves (Since the L an L turn into L2) which is a really nice thing to have to possibly insert sexy move... Which I found with two set up moves. So your skeleton is D2 F' D R2 U B2 D' B2 R2 D2 L B' L2 D' L [@1] [@2] D2 R' @1: F' B2 R' B' R B' F // All but 3 Corners in 24 @2: R' U R D2 R' U' R D2 // Corner commutator that cancels 4. Final solution 28 moves.

That is also a bit crazy, so let's do a more straight forward approach First, let's complete our 223 (R) // 223 (1/10) L' D2 L B' // F2L-1 (4/14) Now for the final F2L pair, you can really try a few things out, and one thing is orienting edges at the same time. So I inserted like this and solved the edges leaving just 4 corners unsolved D L' D L2 B' L' B D // All but 4 corners. (8/22) Insertion finder gives a 31 with two commutators to solve the final 4 corners.

The meta is mainly what I talk about near the end with domino reduction. People have just really worked on It and instead of being as experimental, they just right into EO And then DR. Using inverse too but very little block building early on and few to no insertions needed. It's not really "better" but it's consistent.

@banana85247 if you understand that then you already basically no domino reduction. Domino reduction is just doing edge orientation on another side as well but also orienting corners.

So the straightforward answer is any edges that cannot be solved without doing an F or B move our "bad" edges. The "trick" is look at the U layer, D layer, and the E layer in the front and back. If you see white/yellow it is good If you see red/orange it is bad If you see blue/green with red/orange on the other sides of the edge it is good. If you see blue/green with white/yellow on the other side of the edge it is bad.
