hey it's Simon today I'll teach you how to solve this Mirror Cube it can be a
little tricky but watch this video and you can solve this in no time
before we start make you to smash that like button for your support and the
YouTube algorithm and let's get started now before we start you should be able
to know how to solve this 3x3 Rubik's Cube it is essential that you know this
because it's actually the exact method to use on the Mirror cube but the Mirror
Cube comes in different shape and really kind of messes with your brain a little
bit but I'll go through it with you guys and teach you my way or how I solve this
Mirror Cube - if you don't know how to solve this 3x3 go check out my tutorial up
there and in the link in the description below before you attempt this Mirror cube
because it is exactly the same method if you see here you can see different
levels three different levels a small level medium large I usually start with
the small piece so this would be my first side to start or you can start
with the big side but I prefer the small side so I'm gonna start with this center
piece right here with the sticker if you don't have the sticker right here just
think to yourself I want to solve the center that is the shortest so this is
it now let's go ahead and mix this Mirror cube up okay the Mirror cube is mixed up
now we're going to start with the shortest side which is this so I'm gonna
do the beginners method and maybe some f2l in this case first two
layers but OLL and PLL is it can be pretty hard to you know see where where
the pieces are but beginners method is definitely the way to go when I solve
it so the first thing I'm one to find is a short piece mmm this one yeah this is
see how this is the exact same size and this is the exact same size so this edge
piece is actually in the correct spot so we got one done we got three more to go
so I can see oh if I move it if I focus on this one bring up like like that it's
the same same layer on this one but it's not
on this one so this might go there so I'm going to bring this down gonna move
this up like that and then bring it over so it's right here and then see yep
it matches up to done and two more to go another short pieces this one this could
go right here so we can see if we do that
done so three edges one more to go find a short piece short piece short short
short and this no that doesn't look short this one this one so we could try
it out by let's move in here yep the matches and then bring this to the top
layer like that and then bringing this edge back now here it's the first step
done the cross now we move on to the corner so we can find let's say this one
and kind of estimate this is like this piece so this could potentially go here
or here so let's move it to the bottom of one other side okay and then we could
test it out by inserting it, no it doesn't match up see this is not in the correct
spot because it doesn't align so it could be right here we're gonna try it
this spot and then we can do that yes see how this is lined up and this is
lined up that's good find our next one this piece could go here or here I'm
assuming so let's try let's try this piece this place so this might be in the
wrong way so we could actually do a 2 D and then no so it doesn't go there that
might go that might go be in this spot so we're
gonna try putting this piece on here this is a top layer nope
doesn't fit no okay do one more sequence yes so this is done we have two and then
two more to go so this I suspect might be in the correct position we just gotta
flip it yes that's done and then one more right here
this is definitely not going here because of this width doesn't match with
that we could see this one don't move that two over here nope doesn't match up
yes okay so the first layer first side and first layer is done after that for
the beginners method we flip this cube like this and start doing the second
layer so first we wanted to match up let's pick this piece we want to match
see if it matches anywhere it matches this so that means this piece had to go
either here or here so I suspect it goes here because the width that is showing
not here so this is matched up and make sure this top piece doesn't match with a
top center piece so here this goes there and do the algorithm to put this here so
move this out of the way and there we go this is done and then let's say this
piece we can move it here yes it matches up does not seem to fit here so we're
gonna move it to the right okay so we got two edge piece for the second layer
done we're gonna look for one more let's say this one it belongs to the top so we
don't want to mess with this one we don't want to mess with this one and we
don't want to mess with this one so let's do this
turn it here see how it match it could be either way I'm it doesn't hurt to try
so I'm gonna try this side and you may mess up but you can always take the
piece out and you can know that oh it matches
here you know you haven't done it right good and then we have one more this one
goes in this place so move to the right
okay so first I have done and first two layer is done now we go to the top
we solve the cross so we can see here that since these two are matches this is
a backward L you can have a dot backward L and then you do the algorithm for the
cross top and then we have this line horizontal line we do it one more time
and then the top cross should appear so after that we move the edge pieces so at
least two can match so no okay this one matches and this one matches so there
across from each other and we do the algorithm now they're next to each other
one goes to the back one do us to the front no to the right and then that is
done so top cross and all the edges are lined up now for the last two step we
want to find a corner in the right place for the top layer so kind of assume I
assume this one is in the right place maybe not you can always retry it so
let's do the algorithm to move the corners in the right position okay
it looks like this is solved and it looks like everything is in the correct
position so now we do the last algorithm to finish this Rubik's Cube or Mirror cube
as I should say so that that one's done and then we moved to this one to be hard
to turn sometime all right now it's done move it like
that and then one more slot but
done and then turn the top layer and that is it congratulations you have
