Hi guys, I have been absorbed into cubing for a while. lol.
Today I'm back with some tricks for solving the rubiks cube in less than one minute.
Here are some tips and tricks:
- Do the algorithms without a pause.
You should memorize the beginner method algorithms, and execute them without a pause. I mean when you do the algorithms, you should be able to do it without thinking. In order to be able to do this, you should do the algorithms over and over again until the muscle in your hand memorizes the algorithms. That way, even though sometimes you forget the algorithms' notations, your hands have already memorize the algorithms, and able to do it without thinking.
I think that most of cubers don't even remember the notations of the algorithms, but their hands can execute the algorithms without thinking what the moves are. If someone asks me to write down my algorithms, I will not be able to do it without trying it on a cube first and then write it. In conclusion, let your hands memorize the algorithms in order to do the algorithms without any pauses. - Learn how to do basic fingertricks.
To be able to break the 1 minute wall, you should use your fingers to turn the cube. I don't mean use all fingers to turn only one face. I mean use one finger to turn one face. For example, to do a U turn, use your right forefinger to turn U. In order to turn R or L, of course you can use your all fingers there. For D turn, you can use your left ring finger, so that you don't need to change the position of your hands. The point is that use your fingers efficiently.
Here's a link to a website of Joel Van Noort, there are some useful tutorial about fingertricks and some other cubing stuff: http://solvethecube.110mb.com/fingertricks.html - The 'p' word.
Practice! People say that practice makes perfect! lol. Don't give up! A lot of people can pass the 1 minute wall, of course you can do it to!
Good luck!
