Can someone please tell me if you can solve the 5x5 , 6x6 , 7x7 after learning the edge pairing and parity algorithm?

I'm looking for some cheap yet quite decent black cubes for modding (dno yet, fisher cube or smth perhaps). Which are suited?

AV's are cheap and blackcoughcoughracistcough?

For my first mod, I'm looking for a cube under $10... (i will buy the A-V later though )
Any other suggestions?

and yes CLL, one "dedge", second "dedge, last 2 "dedges"

I'm sorry but I still don't *quite* understand. How do you know which dedge to start 1st? Or do you look for the easiest case? And the top group of algorithms fixes the "first/second edge", meaning if I solve one edge, then the other using those algs? It wouldn't affect any other piece? And then I can go on to solve the last two dedges using 2, 3, and 4-cycles?

im trying to learn the M2 algorithms for middle layer pieces... it seems that some of the algorithms are wrong
BU , do F' D R' F D' M2 D F' R D' F
UF , do U2 M' U2 M'
FU , do F E R U R' E' R U' R' F' M2
DB , do M U2 M U2
BD , do M2 D R' U R' U' M' U R U' M R D'
^ represent where in the middle layer they are going to go to.
for the first one would U R2 U' B' R' B M2 B' R B U R2 U' I figured this out myself and i seem to be able to mentally see it better

The algs seem right to me. For the first one you could also do

(U' M')x3 U' M (U' M')x4

If you do M' with your left hand then switch to U instead of U'

if you mean the ones with grey, you can only do them on the first one. And I wouldn't bother with them in the beginning, I average 1:30 and dont know them.

So you solve the second dedge with commutators?

 

[vcuber13]

I solve them all with comms (with a few speedier algs)

 

[xXzaKerXx]

I mean, the first one you look for the fastest to solve, then the second you have either opposite or adjacent case, and the last two you solve in a single alg, right?

This might help.

F3L overview-you may not need this but I included it for completeness.

No part 5 yet.

I saw those vids already, so you solve them all using that basic idea?

 

[vcuber13]

yes, also watch my K4 example LL

 

[xXzaKerXx]

Just watched it a second ago (literally), so I apply thiis to LL? The second pair is more confusing to me, but your explaination cleared up most of it. So I just randomly look for an easy case and deal with it?

 

[vcuber13]

sort of, and something useful is to do a 3x3 3 cycle to pair atleast one edge since its faster, then use a comm for the other

 

[xXzaKerXx]

Okay, got it now. Thanks.

Where should I buy a DIY TYPE A Cube from if I want be shipped to Sweden (Europe) ASAP and dont cost me alot for the shipping?

If you shave down the inner edges on a V6 do you need the pins?
or will it come out of alignment too much?

Shave the edges, it will come out of alignment 100% of the time -.-

No it won't.
I used my old V6 for 12months without pins. It misalligned once or twice every solve. Hardly 100%.

What are the easiest 3x3 modifications for a begginer. Where can I find a good Hd video of a walkthrough for them.:confused:

Why wouldn't you be able to? :confused:

Patience. You asked 4 hours ago.
