Bump since lost on last page- thanks

Can Somebody Help Me With This 6x6 Cube?

Alright, I've been trying to solve this 6x6 Rubik's Cube but I ran into this edge parity and I need help. I attached a picture of what it looks like. I've solved all the edges but the last two. In the picture, the orange and blue pieces are switched on both sides (they're circled in blue) and the green and white edges are normal (circled in pink). I need to fix this parity without messing up the other edges! Can somebody help me?!
Thanks!

How I solve that is:
1) Solve the two inner edges like a 4x4 edge case. So flip, slice, flip.
2) Now it should be like 5x5 last two edges, so just solve as normal.

But will this mess up my other edges?

No it shouldn't from my experience.

Only if you mess up!

I had that case a while ago, I just solved it like a 5x5.

Thanks for all the help, guys! I've finally solved it!:tu

I can't find this 5x5 edge parity case anywhere, help?

Would you recommend Dayan springs or SS 6x6 springs in the mini SS 7x7?

With green on U and yellow on F, do Uw R U R' F R' F' R Uw' (slice across, flip edge, slice back)

What's the fastest way to fix those 6x6 pops where the internal piece comes out?

I'm in the low 1:50s on average right now, so I don't remember exactly... for 2:00, I think it was about 35/55/30. For 2:20, I'd guess 40/65/35. But compared to my reduction times, my 3x3 stage is pretty slow compared to most people.

Spoiler

Throw your 6x6 in the garbage and practice 5x5 and 7x7 instead. Usually works pretty well.

I take out 8 center pieces (two 1x4 strips), put the internal pieces back in, put the two innermost center pieces in, then put the obliques back in, then put the corner center pieces back in.

Yeah, I know it's not fast. I think a better approach would be doing spring swap mods or other things to reduce pops, instead of finding a fast way to fix pops when they do happen.

Hopefully Moyu hurries up with the 6x6... it would be nice to actually enjoy that event.

Your 'spoiler' made me giggle

I wonder if the fast 6x6 solvers get the internal edge pops...

How do people find the edges they need for step 3 in OBLBL quickly? It takes me a very long time, and when I find one of the two I think it could be I have to put them in place or nearly in place to find out whether it's actually the right one or not. This is for 5x5 btw.
Or, do you do step 3 differently to how qq does it?

How long should 3x3 stage on 7x7 take if I want to average 4:30?

Hey Guys

Hello everyone, I am new to cubing. I don't know how to solve any cube but am trying to solve my 5x5 Cube. It is the Funskool model that I bought as they are the original ones(I think). I have read a few helpless tutorials but managed to find that I need to solve all the centers. I Have solved the White, Green, Blue and Yellow Centers. I now need to solve the remaining 2(Orange and Red) which are opposite to each other. The configutaion is like this:

X X O
O X O
O X X

--------

X O O
X O O
X X O

Where O=Orange and X=Red

How do I solve it? And what after they are solved? I would also like to know if there is a site that allows me to input the colors and tells me how to solve it. BTW, please do not use notation as I do not understand them. Thanks.
