When I opened this thread, I was expecting to see somebody selling a 4x4 for $59.99 and I was wondering what the hell they did to it to ask for so much. :p

anyway... how does that work lol

Count edges --> odd number = parity!

To avoid --> solve two adjacent centers in an odd number of slice moves (Rw/r) (Rw2 counts as even)
This works on the presumption that you use some kind of reduction. (Then if you are not crazy, this should work)

seems kinda complex, i'll choose to stick with normal parity solving lol

It is not really.

When you have solved two adjacent centers in an odd number of moves, you can just solve the rest as usual. Because, paring edges takes an even number of slice turns. The same goes for the rest of the the centers.

That is at least how I think Aaron does it. I don't know of other practical ways to do it. I'm sure there are. (Other than "regular" redux methods)

What you say is not completely right. You have to take care until finishing the 3rd center. Only everything after this step has an even number of quarter slice moves.

Also I think that when talking about avoiding parity this only applies to what we know as OLL-Parity.

Anyway, it is amazing to see how Aron is able to do that within preinspection time! :)
 
Lol, you're completely right. I was just too stupid for not reading adjacent as opposite in the given context. Sorry Henrik. :)
