4x4x4 Rubik's Revenge Cube solve (54.13 seconds solve)

[NailI3unny]

IMO 4x4x4 is harder than 5x5x5 because the professors cube actually has a center piece

[chipchamp]

I disagree (in my opinion). I personally hate having to solve three pieces to make edges on the proessor... that's just my opinion though. :)

Ditto

It works exactly the same way a 3x3 does, except you have to get the center four cubes together on each side first. Then you solve like a normal cube (except for the parity error).

doesnt seem right... how does an even sided rubiks cube work.... would that be easier or harder seeing how u can move each color to the side u want.

[Pelnied]

its harder because you have to know the color scheme because the corners still have the stickers in the original place so you cant put the colors to the side you want

I use 3x3x3 reduction method, so that means that method will in theory work for every big cube. I believe 5x5x5 is harder because of the new techniques needed to solve the 3x3 centers and the constant looking around during the tredge grouping. 4x4x4 is only only bad for me because of the parity errors.

[morpheus3000]

actually it depends in what method u use cuz 4x4x4 can be harder than 5x5x5 cuz 4x4x4 has no center piece thats my opinion

Generally, the same principles used to solve the 3x3x3 cubes can be used to solve the 4x4x4 and higher power cubes. All you really need to learn are simple commutators and you should be able to solve any order cube.

that is just damn cool

I didn't know that they made cubes with even sides. I thought there was only 3x3x3 5x5x5 and so on. Does it involve the same strategy? Where can I find one?

umm basically the 2x2 center for the 4x4x4 is like 1 center piece on the 3x3x3 cube..and the 2x1 edges are the edges on the 3x3x3.. you can solve it just like a 3x3x3 once you get the center and the edges but there are couple oll and pll parities you have to know... and different permutes.. that are only on the 4x4x4
