Rubik's 3x3 Example Solves - Feliks Zemdegs

Rubik's 3x3 example solves of Feliks Zemdegs are great for intermediate and advanced cubers. Due to his popularity, a lot of his YouTube viewers range from beginner to expert. Because the majority of the cubers use the white cross, this particular video is intended for them.

Let us read some interesting comments:

Wtf kind of U perm is that at 2:54? How are you so fast with U perms like that -__-

This is just a bluffing question because theWestonian is an expert so probably he wanted to play around with the other commenters.

+Tech Genius He was not asking for the algorithm though. What he was asking was how come Zemdegs did such a slow U perm with one hand here in this video keeping in mind the fact that he is generally faster than that. In other words, he thinks that the execution for that specific one handed U perm was slow considering how fast he is at one handed generallly. But he has said it in a way that it is very confusing "Wtf kind of U perm is that at 2:54? How are you so fast with U perms like that". The way he should have put it to avoid confusion should have been "Wtf kind of SLOW U perm is that at 2:54? How are you generally so fast with such SLOW U perms like that"

This commenter realized that theWestonian was indeed just bluffing. This is a nice explanation after some exchange of comments resulting from theWestonian "confusing" comments.

Sorry Feliks, but I just don't understand anything that you just did.  Please help me out here.  When I solve  a rubies' cube, I make a white cross, do the white corners, then the second layers of all colors but white and yellow, then solve the yellow, then the corners, and then finish it( counter clockwise of clockwise)   Thanks!

This one uses a beginner's method because he did not understand the solves. You must learn first CFOP method.

If you don't like being colour neutral, don't be. There are lots of fast speedcubers who only solve dual colours. Personally I can start with white/yellow, on the other colours I'm really slow. But if you wanna be colour neutral and you like it, just practice, go for the easiest crosses on different colours in each solve and eventually you'll be faster. But being colour neutral won't give you like -5 seconds to your average, look example at Mats Valk, he is very fast, and he solves green and blue colours I think.

This is a good comment from Shockfox because it is true that you can become an expert even with just being dual opposite color speed solver. In my opinion Feliks expertise on color neutrality is somewhat "genetics" or "inborn". Pattern recognition is a part of abstract reasoning in IQ. It's the same reason why some can learn the cube easily and some can not.

What's the PLL at 07:52

This is a good question but difficult to answer because of  less recognizable sides of some permutations. Most cubers will make a U-turn for a better view but Feliks recognizes any two sides of the cube. This is a G-perm type 'c'. A good solver should always recognize the permutation on all sides of the cubes. Of course, that is not easy.

Try to study how the experts like Feliks solve the cube and  I hope you learn from the Masters of Rubik's 3x3.
