[Member Intro] Solving the 4x4 Rubik cube

[larrie12]

Hi, my name is Larry and I am trying to solve the Rubic 4x4 cube. I have all the edges paired and a all white top I have all inverted hats on all 4 side faces but the solution from wikihow.com doesn’t solve the middle layers at all (F’D’R’TDR) !

 

[larrie12]

Can anybody help me with the next move?

You solve it the same way you solve a 3x3 at the end. If you don't know how to solve a 3x3, I would recommend checking out either some videos or check out these resources here: https://gurshan-s-site.thinkific.com/courses/cubeclassroom

Ok, but I already know how to solve the 3x3 RUBIK’S Cube. I’ll check out your website. Basically, you tip the upside hats to the correct side. I’ll try it and see how it turns out.Is this the right idea?
Thanks,
Larry

Do you have the correct algorithm for left and right ?

I meant “upside down hats.”

 

[Garf]

I don't understand what you're saying. Just solve it like a 3x3, except when you have parity.

Hello there and welcome to SS.

Happy cubing!

I meant “upside down hats.”

Ok. Man, I get it. I have the three lower levels solved plus the white face solved! The yellow face is looking too!! Thanks a million!

The use of the words "Rubic 4x4" gave me a stronke

What are upside down hats?

(F’D’R’TDR)

And what does T mean here?

 

[larrie12]

I’m looking/reading at solving the last layer and I came across a notation in an algorithm I have no idea what it stands for. It is (x). . Also, can I solve the rest of the 4x4 cube like the 3x3 cube after the lower 3 layers are solved?Thanks for your help!

Would somebody please tell what next step is for my 4x4 RUBIK’S Cube after I have an all white top and the top three layers properly solved. Also what does the (x) mean in Rubik space.com

[ r U2 x r U2 r U2 r' U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 r' U2 r' ]

I already solved this state and now have the top 3 layers solved and an all white face. So I need to get to the next stage!

Garf would you please tell me where do I go from here.

1:
Why is there tape of your cube.
2: Can you flip the cube so we can see the last layer.

 

[larrie12]

I put tape on edge pieces so I could track them for the edge pair algorithm. Do you want to see the white or yellow layer?
Thanks for responding!

We would like to see the yellow layer
