[Member Intro] Solving the 4x4 Rubik cube

[CoderGuru]

Yes, you are correct!. I’ll send a picture as soon as I get the get nerve to do without screwing up.

Just watch some videos of ‘4x4 OLL Parity Algorithm’ and watch it on x0.25 and copy it. Don’t get stressed and undo your moves, everything will come together. OLL parity doesn’t happen every time, you got unlucky

Slow the video down and pause it if you need to. The algorithm is on the screen and you can memorize it based on when you go up and when you go down. It's not an easy alg to memorize; it will take time.

Edit: this better not be some kind of troll account

I think it is they put tape on there 4x4

I think it is they put tape on there 4x4

Somebody already asked question and my answer was I use the tape to track and gather edge pairs and also not wipe out the edge pairs I already did.

 

[Luke Garrett fan]

Oh my bad I hope your cubing journey goes well

 

[Luke Garrett fan]

And buy a different 4c4

 

[larrie12]

RIP you have parity. Firstly, as you can see there are 3 yellow edges, and you want to put the blank edge in front of you (yellow still at the top). then you want to do the parity algorithm:

r U2 x r U2 r U2 r' U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 r' U2 r'

after that send another photo

Good Morning! I hope everybody had a good weekend. Here’s my cube after I performed the above algorithm.
Thanks, Larry

Looks like you did the algorithm on the wrong side

The unsolved edge, (the missing edge to form the yellow cross) must be at the front top of the cube, for your current state (given that you haven’t turned the cube at all after taking the picture), with orange in front

I put the red/yellow edge with the yellow on the sides and red on top in front of me with the yellow center on top and performed your algorithm. What did I do wrong! I thought I followed your instructions?

Do you want me to take a picture of the orange side? I’m not understanding.

I’m sorry, I sent you the wrong video. Here is the correct one

Ayyyyyyy! Now just do beginner last layer and you should be good. (Also, your handwriting is absolutely godly. I write like a doctor with two broken hands.)

This the wrong picture. Why can’t I attach video files?

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

This the wrong picture. Why can’t I attach video files?

That's just how it be. You can't submit videos because of attachment and bitrate caps.

 

[larrie12]

So it looks like I performed the right moves. So what is the next step forward?

This is the wrong picture!! Sorry!

 

[Bingus Ringus McDingus]

If you know how to solve a 3x3 just solve the last layer like so, pretending that the wing edge pieces are one unified piece.

 

[CoderGuru]

I’m sorry, I sent you the wrong video. Here is the correct one

Yeah I thought so . Well done on getting the algorithm right! Now just solve it like a 3x3, and if you get an unsolveable case, just message us again as you probably have pll parity

Ok. I’ll run the algorithms by you before I do it just so I don’t screw up. Thanks for your help!

No problem. Just solve it normally like a 3x3, with the 2x2 things being the centres and edges being 2x1 blocks

 

[larrie12]

Yes, I get it solve the yellow face with corners and then get a castellated looking top. And then put correct edge in back, next rotate top counter clockwise or clockwise using correct algorithm to finish up.
