Megaminx 6 Color

[PaulLePaul]

Hey,

I'm very stuck on the last layer. Do I really have to do it over again, when I face a parity(???) problem? So when I see the edges or the corners aren't solveable do I have to switch to identical pieces and do the whole thing again?
That can't be possible, there must somebody be out there, who has figuered out something... or shall I just tile my megaminx with twelve colors?

Your best option would be to sticker with 12 different colors, only 6 must be boring. Seriously, sticker with 12 colors.

Corners are always "solvable". There is no such thing as identical corners, wo corners with the same 3 colors are mirror images of each other. Thus no parity on them.
For edges, if you face a parity, you can proceed as follows:
- bring an edge of the first layer on the last layer, next to the identical one and with the same orientation;
- perform a 3-cycle of edges on the last layer (F2 U R L' F'2 L R' U R L' F2 L R' U'2 F'2);
- bring the first layer edge back to the first layer.

Yeah, you just need to somehow swap two identical pieces, along with the two pieces from the last layer that you need to swap.

You really have no idea how much harder a 6-color Megaminx is, do you?

It can't be that hard. What about a 3 color one? That would be really hard. Or maybe 2 color.

1 color? Imagine trying to find out if you scrambled correctly.
