I just got an eastsheen 5x5 today!!!! :) I solved the revenge using the cage method and for the 5x5 I want to use a similar method. Apparently there is a cage method for the 5x5 but I can't find a tutorial!!!! help please?? :D

Thanks


EDIT: Nevermind guys. I learned the cage with an average of 16 min >.< so I learned redux with around 7:30 =)

Just adapt it, its the same,really. It has just more moves....:D which "cage" method were you using? there are so many variations out there...
tell me and I might be able to help you :D

The 4x4 method I use is where you make the first layer, do the second layer edges, do the last layer corners, last layer edges, 3rd layer edges, then finally finish it off by placing the centers.

I get how it's very similar but I'm confused on how you place the center "cross" pieces onto there spot. r U' l' U r' U' l U' places the corner pieces, not the center cross ones.

Unfortunately, that seems far too much. Some of the algorithms don't seem to work... is there an easier version where I put them in one at a time (yes I'm a n00b)?

also, how do you place 3rd layer edges??? it messes up the 2nd layer whenever I try...

I made a 5x5x5 cage method tutorial video. Its an EXTREMEMLY slow method, but very easy to learn. I wouldn't recommend it for speed, reduction is much faster.

Cage can be much faster too :p
But your method is a good method for beginners.

ive been trying to look for one of these but i recommend learning to pair edges and solving the centers because i too learned th 4x4 cage first and wanted this but after i learned this (which took maybe 4 hours to get it down to being able to do it right every time) i could do the 4x4 much much faster

Fixed it! Yeah... I found a good reduction method tutorial. :) If you use the reduction with a 5x5, will you be able to use it on the 4x4, 6x6, and 7x7?

Actually, I went ahead and learned SA967St's tutorial. Really similar to my 4x4 method... but my PLL edge permute algs don't always seem to work... I had to solve it the begginers way. Help?

All of them work but the Z-perm. I use M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M' U2 for it. Two of them gets permuted but two stay in place.

Sorry for all of these questions but when I do the 3rd layer fix on the 4x4, I do l U2 l U2 F2 l F2 r U2 r' U2 l2. it doesn't seem to work when I do it on a 5x5 for the first layer though...

Your first point is incorrect, and your second point is just a shitty assumption.

If either of them were true, they still wouldn't be reasons to not learn.
