The 1x1 Rubik's cube, and how to solve it.

[Soldier]

The 1x1 is a very complex puzzle. It only has 1 possible combination. The first step is to solve the centers. Then, you must solve it like a 3x3. And there is also parity.
Non-cubers may say the 1x1 is easy, but you need a high IQ to solve it. To solve the centers you need to find the white face and do this algorithm (with white on the right side)
R U R' U'. Then repeat with all the other colors. Then, you should know how to solve the 3x3. If you dont, then go learn because if you dont know how to solve the 3x3, then you wont figure out how to solve this. After you solve like a 3x3, you have parity. Apply this algorithm to solve the cube with parity: R2 U2 x F2 L2 U2 y R' U' L U F B' U' R2 y' U2 R2 x. Your 1x1 should be solved now! Practice and practice and practice then you'll be very fast with a sub-1 minute average. This is the fastest 1x1 method out there, and its called the Itemere Method. The person who made it is Thomas Itemere. And heres a challenge with your 1x1: Try to get a sub-10 solve! Well thats stuff about the 1x1. Good bye, and happy 1x1 speedsolving!

gan*

ye gan but its a gan that qiyi helped with but there was only one in stock in the whole world and it was 9,999$ and I Bought it and now im the fastest 1x1 solver in the world. i hold the 1x1 wr single with a time of 0.000 and seriously my stopwatch said 0.000 on it (this only happened once)

I’m struggling to break sub-45 second barrier, any tips?

Im glad you asked! Well, you should try to learn Itemere look-ahead. Its the faster version of the method I showed you here. I'll make a thread about it. Also, you should learn advanced algorithms for parity. You can also learn Itemere 2x2 method. This method is really fast because you make 2x2 blocks on the cube and then solve like a 2x2. ill make a thread about that too. One of the main parts is just practice. I've grinded 1x1 for months and now i average 0.07 seconds! (world record 1x1 average) Also make sure you have a good 1x1. Buy a Gan, or Qiyi or Moyu one. Those brands make the best 1x1's. Watch all the videos on youtube about the 1x1. Do 1x1 drills and practice the parts you struggle on. Also the best tip, is to learn how to look ahead the whole solve, then you'll have no pauses and you could get a sub-1 average. Those are all the tips. Well, if you need any more tips on the 1x1, just ask me!

This is my 1x1. I suggest you buy one like it.

didnt you say there say only 1?

yeah i said one "like" it. I mean one thats simular to it

Oh damn that's really fast. I still haven't solved it in one sitting, fastest solve was 3 months and 25 days. Very impressive, would love some tips!

can we please just stop with the troll threads

@1x1 wr holder! Probably has some advanced techniques
