Octo Barrel Solve Help

[briancuber]

When i solve my octo barrel, i get a few "errors" i guess you would call them. I know that this is from how the edges go into their slots, they can go either way. Is there a way to fix these without taking edges out? And if how so?

Here are illustrations of what I mean:

The PLL parity occurs because the ULF and URB corners are switched and the DLF and DRB corners are switched and the FL and RB edges are switched. To easily fix this, switch 2 F2L pairs diagonally.

The algorithm in the spoiler will switch edge UF and UB. Spoiler: L' R' U2 L R After switching the 2 pairs, PLL can be solvable with conventional 3x3 PLLs.


The OLL parity occurs because an edge in the F2L is incorrectly flipped but you can't notice because it looks the same right-side-up and up-side-down. To fix this, flip one F2L edge.

The algorithm in the spoiler will preserve everything else and only flip edges FR and UF.

This is a nice algorithm Chris Hardwick taught me. Spoiler: Rw R U R' U' Rw' U2 R U R U' R2 (U2) After flipping the 2 edges, OLL can be solvable with conventional 3x3 OLLs.

It is important that you know why these parities occur, rather than blindly executing an algorithm.

To uncover the spoilers just highlight them.

I knew how they happened, but just didn't know on how to fix it without flipping the edges, like taking out and putting them back in. Thanks though!
