Today I'm going to show you how to solve the
Gear Cube.

Basic passive voice

Okay so today we're going to learn how to
solve the Gear Cube. This was invented by

Remember when he first invented it he called
it the Caution Cube. That was because when

he was turning it he got his finger stuck
in one of these gears as it came across and

Let me tell you I've done that too and it
hurts! So be careful. It's the Caution Cube

So let me first tell you how we are going
to solve this Gear Cube.

It's three easy steps. It's an easy puzzle
to solve.

Step 1. We are going to solve the corners.

Step 2. We are going to position the edges
to be in the right spot.

Step 3. We are going to orient the edges,
twist them, so that it will be in the shape

So what was that? Step 1, Corners. Step 2,
Position Edges. Step 3, Orient Edges.

So lets get started on step 1, Solving the
Corners. Let's scramble this sucker up and

So step 1. We are going to solve the corners.

First thing we have to do is we have to get
two corners next to each other that belong

next to each other. I like to start with the
color red. So lets find some red corners.

Here's two of them. Lets start with this red,
yellow, and blue corner.

We either need to find red and yellow and
put that here, or red and blue and put that

And we can see the other two corners here.

And what I'm going to do is lets start with
the Red Blue so we should get them across

First we will spin the bottom. So this red
blue is here.

And it needs to be here. So we'll spin this
one now 180.

There we go we have two next to each other.

The other Red, they should already be next
to each other. Once you have two next to each

other, the other two should be next to each
other. So it will either be solved, which

is easy, up here. It will be bellow it which
is easy because then you just do what I did

The only other option is it will be down here.
And to do that it takes two moves. We can

move it across the bottom and then move it
up to the top. There you go! So that's the

Once we have the top ones solved, the bottom
will either be like this, It will be solve

already, and all we have to do next is twist
it to get the center layer matched up with

There we go we have the corners. Told you
that's easy!

Now lets move on to step two. We are going
to position the edges.

Here we are at step two we are going to position
the edges. And in step two what we are going

to do is break up the edges into three rings
across the three slices.

So the first ring will be these edges here
along the center slice.

The second ring will be these edges here.

The third ring will be these ones here. So
these two, this one, and that one.

So those are going to be our three rings.

Each ring has one of three possibilities.

One, the ring will be completely solve. Which
none of these rings are.

Another possibility is what I'm going to call
the “Parallel Swapping�€? possibility. That's

Blue and Red need to swap here with Blue and
Purple. So those two need to swap like that.

The rest of them on this ring, is Green and
Red need to swap with Green and Purple.

So they need to swap in parallel lines. That's
the parallel swap.

The other and third only other possibility
with the rings is they need to swap in an

"X" fashion. So this Orange Green needs
to swap all the way over here with Yellow

And Blue Orange needs to swap all the way
over here with Green and Yellow. So that's

So we have three possibilities. One more time.

We have the Solved possibility none of them
are in.

We have the Parallel possibility. These two
swap, these two swap.

Then we have the X possibility. That's this
one here. This needs to swap all the way with

this guy. This one needs to swap with this
guy.

The way we are going to do this is we need
to find one of them that is in the parallel.

Hold it parallel like this. So you have one
that needs to swap on the top, one that needs

to swap on the bottom. Hold it like this.
What we are going to do is we are going to

What that does is it fixes the parallel problem.
It does an X across the middle.

So now that we have that we do this move again
on another parallel. And this one is parallel

You can see Purple Yellow needs to switch
with Purple Orange.

Red Yellow needs to switch with Red Orange.

When we do this it will do the Parallel, and
it will do the X across the middle layer.

As you can see that would fix our problem
so lets do that!

So it's Up, Right Two, Up, and Right Two.

There we go! The edges are all solve, they
just need to be twisted or oriented correctly,

that's step 3. Congratulations step 2 complete.
It's the hardest one.

Okay last step we need to orient the edges.
This will be the easiest step with the easiest

algorithm ever. This algorithm will orient
the center ring of edges. It's very easy it's

Now lets do this ring. Lets do it again, so
R4.

As you can see it didn't do it this time.
But all you have to do is do it again.

And like that you have solved the Gear Cube!

Alright guys that is it. Thanks for watching
and have a great day!
