Solve the Rubik's Cube UNDER 60 SECONDS! (With Beginner Method)

How to Solve a Rubik's Cube Under 60 Seconds Using the Beginner Method

1. Start with a White Cross:

   • Begin by creating a white cross around the white center of the cube.
   • Align the white center on top and solve the cross pieces around it.
   • Use a technique to insert the cross pieces without disrupting the already solved pieces in the middle layer.

2. Complete the First and Second Layers:

   • Work on completing the first and second layers of the cube.
   • Remember the color opposites: orange is opposite of red, and green is opposite of blue.

3. Learn and Apply Finger Tricks:

   • Practice finger tricks for faster solving, using wrist turns for the right and left sides, and index fingers for the top layer.

4. Upgrade to a Speed Cube:

   • Consider investing in a Speed Cube for smoother and faster solving.
   • CubeHead recommends the Guhong Pro Speed Cube for its features and performance.

5. Efficient Corner Insertion:

   • Use three moves to insert a corner on the right side and remember to adjust for the last step while building the second layer.

6. Prevent Disruption of Solved Pieces:

   • Avoid disrupting already solved pieces by using specific algorithms to insert corners and edges without affecting them.

7. Utilize Advanced Techniques:

   • Practice techniques like solving two pieces at once by moving pairs away, opening slots, and then reinserting them efficiently.

8. Build the Yellow Cross:

   • Use specific algorithms to build the yellow cross efficiently, especially in cases like the Dot and Hook.

9. Complete the Last Layer:

   • Solve the last layer corners by applying the correct algorithms based on the orientation of the yellow face.

10. Become Color Neutral:

    • Practice solving the cube starting with any color for more flexibility and efficiency in solving.

11. Practice and Improve:

    • Continuously practice the techniques and algorithms to improve your solving speed and accuracy.

By following these steps and practicing consistently, you can work towards solving a Rubik's Cube in under 60 seconds using the beginner method demonstrated in the video by CubeHead.
