Does anyone claim to solve an entire 3x3x3 (or other) inuitively?

What about this guy who solve iit entirely on his own after 26 years? what's his name?

I've solved the entire cube with only commutators (That I came up with)numerous times. It takes around 15 minutes, and it's alot of fun! However this is after I learned to solve the cube. So I learned to solve it, and by solving it using algorithms, I learned certain concepts that are necessary to solve it intuitively.

My aunt can solve the cube intuitively but it takes her maybe 1-3 hours. She first did it after a surgery and it took her three hours.And shes done it a few times now.

Do commutators count as intuition? If they do, then yes, I can. I think right now I can solve a 3x3 with only commutators in around 40 seconds.

I can solve a square one intuitively, never even looked up a tutorial, although i have developed 'intuitive algorithms', meaning that i use variations of a concept i created to solve certain portions. I can also solve a 3x3x3 using only self made algorithms, although I do use the 'sexy move' in that style of solve. I created said intutive method to teach to friends. Its akwawys interesting to see them use logic to figure out how the intutive steps work, and how to accomplish a very spcific problem. interpret this information to your standards are you will.

I have several friends and teachers who can solve a cube intuitively. One family friend was given a 7x7x7 for Christmas. It took him a month, but he finally finished it. The most impressive thing: he blockbuilds.

There was someone at the canberra competition who figured it out themselves in the 80's. She solved it in about 2 minutes on average.

That is wicked hilarious and ironically witty.

 

[jiggy]

I dunno.. because I can use commutators to solve a cube.. "intuitively"
So if that counts, then yes I can.
F2L is intuitive too..

+1 to this.

It's really easy to place all of the edges intuitively, and even work in a bunch of corners at the same time using F2L or block building methods. After that, you can finish the corners with commutators, which I definitely see as intuitive.

And, as people have said, Heise is an intuitive method.

I can solve many puzzles intuitively including the 3x3. I don't do it that way for speedsolving though.

 

[blade740]

I solved my first cube intuitively.

 

[Ness]

I think many people are able to solve the cube intuitvely.
I was also able to do it up to 3 corners in the last layer. Then I found out about commutators and learned Heise.

 

[LNZ]

No. The only puzzles I've ever solved without any aid is the Whip It, the Missing Link, the 1x1x1 cube and the floppy cube.

In the early 1990's, I did solve a megaminx right up to the last layer without any aid either.

 

[Sin-H]

Um... Have you ever heard of Ryan Heise?

 

[Tim Major]

When I got my Pyra, I solved it in about 10 minutes without algs or help. And I was like, 1:30 3x3 back then. The pyra was on of my first puzzles.

 

[Ton]

I solved the cube myself, I calculated the effect of some moves to create effective set of moves; 3 cycle edges and corners. That was before I know of commutators -which I used intuitively for edges-

Is calculating intuitively?

I can solve many puzzles intuitively.

Crosswords, find-a-words, su-do-kus, etc.

Devising your own method for solving a puzzle over a long time of messing around with it can not be called intuitive solving.

Ryan Heise's method may be mainly intuitive, however any commutator where you can't 'see' it in your mind is not intuitive.

Real intuitive solving should not rely on remembering past cases. You should be able to look at the state of the puzzle you have and see a solution.

I have worked out my own method (usually pretty crappy and inefficient) for almost all the puzzles I own. I don't say that that is intuitive. For the 'crazy 4x4x4', it took me quite a long time to figure out how to solve the (relatively easy) parity. This was through trying lots of different methods I adapted from other puzzles.

On the other hand, I solve the floppy cube totally intuitively. Just by looking at it, I can see how to solve it. Other puzzles like the platypus, rainbow cube, and the 15 puzzle are also solved totally intuitively.

I am sure that there is nobody who could solve the last layer of a 3x3x3 with my definition of 'intuitive'.

Who says you solve it lbl. You may have another method, that doesn't result in having to solve the last layer.
