what's up guys really excited to make this video it's been a long time coming if you remember about two years ago i made a video on how to solve a two by two rubik's cube blindfolded now we're gonna up the ante and do it with a three by three blindfold just a side note you do not need any previous experience solving one of these in fact i'm going to assume that you have never solved one of these in your life and i'm going to teach you how to do it without looking yeah it's not as hard as you think the memory part of it is actually not too hard with my help and expertise i can make it a lot easier and it's one of those things that if you can do it it's impressive as hell i mean people get impressed when you can just solve a rubik's cube looking at it and take a few minutes imagine if you could do the memorization of the rubik's cube and solve it in just a few minutes anyways let's start with the basics let's go first of all the first thing you got to notice about a rubik's cube and if your experience with a rubik's cube please fast forward is that there are three kinds of pieces there are the center pieces which are the ones in the middle and they are essentially just one sticker they don't move they stay right there in the middle on the face that they are then you have edges which are basically combinations of two stickers then finally you have the corner pieces which are a combination of three stickers so this technique is all about how to memorize the sequence in which we place the edges correctly and then the corners correctly that's it we don't have to memorize centers because they don't move there's nothing to memorize in terms of how you can turn the cube there's a special notation that we use to write out a series of moves this is called an algorithm for this tutorial i recommend having the white face up and the green face towards you you don't have to go that way but it'll mirror what i'm doing this whole video so why not do that and that's what i do anyways so for notation we have six faces so we have six different letters for our algorithm notation this is gonna be u for up this is gonna be d for down f for front because it's facing you this is gonna be b for back because it's facing the back r for right your right and this is going to be l for your left when i say u it means turn the face that i'm talking about which would be this one clockwise if i say u prime with a little dash next to it means go counterclockwise which means that way if at any point in my algorithm or an algorithm that i show you you see a letter squared that basically means turn it twice and in that case it doesn't matter if you do it clockwise or counterclockwise because you end up in the same spot now solving a rubik's cube blindfolded at least with the method that i'm going to show you which is called old pacman method the way it works is you have to memorize a sequence of pieces okay so there's a little bit of
