Which is easier 4x4x4 or 5x5x5 Cube?

[retr0]

5x5 is easier. There are fixed centers and no OLL parity. I know a lot of people who feel this way, despite there being less work matching up centers and edges on the 4x4.

if you want something challenging, try blindsolving a 4x4..lol or if it's a choice between 4 and 5 i prefer 5 but it's just an opinion

It depends on how you define 'easier' actually. Less algs to memo? Less time taken to solve? Less lookahead required? Less intuition required?

Whatever it is, the next step after 3x3 is always 4x4. Skipping straight to 5x5 isn't a good idea IMO, since in 4x4 you learn the basics of centre making and edge pairing. But 5x5 is easier to solve intuitively after the 3x3 though =p

5x5x5 is the easy one because of the parity on 4x4x4.

5x5x5 is the easy one because of the parity on 4x4x4.

what about parity on 5x5x5?

Ahahaha, 4x4 is definately easier though 5x5 is not that much harder.
