In this video I'm going to show you how to do this small spiral pattern on a 3x3 Rubik's Cube
Check out my other videos showing you how to solve a 2x2 a Rubik's Cube a 3x3 a 4x4 and even a 5x5
So to do this pattern you do need to start with a solved Rubik's Cube
So you need to know how to solve a Rubik's Cube or have a solved Rubik's Cube
And you need to know how to use algorithms on a Rubik's Cube too
If you don't already know how to use algorithms then check out my 3x3 tutorial on how to solve a Rubik's Cube
So to do this pattern we just need to use an algorithm
And that algorithm is: Li Bi D U R Ui Ri D2 R2 D L Di Li Ri F U
Okay, so let's do that
We go..
Li
Bi
D
U
R
Ui
Ri
D2
R2
D
L
Di
Li
Ri
F
U
And that gives us this spiral pattern
So to undo this pattern and set it back to a completed Rubik's Cube
As always I like to use the same algorithm if possible
And you can use the same algorithm on this one too
You set it in the top right like this
And repeat the same algorithm five times!
Yes, it is quite a lot to repeat it five times and it is a long algorithm so it will take..
It will take a few minutes to repeat that long algorithm five times
Now there is another way we can undo this pattern and many patterns like it using the original algorithm
And only having to use it once
There are many patterns where you have to use it two or more times to cycle these colours
And on this pattern we've got to use it five times
Well there is a way of using the original algorithm only once
And that is..
Well first you have to know which colours you did the pattern on
For example I've always had yellow as a front face on all my Rubik's Cube pattern tutorials
Blue on the top and orange on the side
Now if you do the same algorithm on the other three colours
You will actually undo the pattern in one algorithm
Because it makes the pattern in the opposite direction on the other side
And you can really tell with this spiral pattern
For example the spiral is in this direction on this side
If I turn it over..
The spiral is in the opposite direction
So using these three colours, the same technique, this in the top right
We can just repeat the original algorithm just once
For example..
Li
Bi
D
U
R
Ui
Ri
D2
R2
D
L
Di
Li
Ri
F
U
And that puts us back to a solved Rubik's Cube using the algorithm just once
And as I said, this works on many patterns where you have to cycle the colours
And repeat the algorithm two or more times
Now I always teach you to use it two or more times and if you do accidentally use the opposite colours
Well, you'll only have to do it once anyway
But if you don't
If you use the original colours then you'll have to repeat the same algorithm two times
Hope it helped guys and thanks for watching
For more Rubik's Cube patterns check out my other videos
And also if you know of any other Rubik's Cube patterns that you'd like me to make a video of then
Feel free to leave a comment in the comment section, with the algorithm
And maybe I'll make a video of that in the future
Thanks a lot guys, Bye!
