How to Solve a 5x5x5 Rubik's Cube - Part 4 - Parity Errors

[TuragaLesovikk246]

Thank you

[mrsusername1339]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAA oh it's not right NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOO



[friendlyfire509]

my only wish is that you make one more on how to finish the cube like the 3x3x3... every time i try it messes up... But other wise its really good!!!

[bucccicoszi]

Thank you!! :)

[IvanDo0m]

i didnt get the parity error but i made mine in 22 days with lazyness and only watching every video 3 times max, and Thanks :)

[nadbakshay]

hey when i solve the cube like a 3x3 and when i have to do the upper yellow layer the there is one yellow piece left on the top layer how should i bring that single piece up to complete the yellow layer

[Kurisu1996]

thanks man! you have the easiest to understand parity error tutorial. :D

[goldenscott22]

Wat u do u mean by opposite orientations?

[JakeHwangsj]

Thank u. I was really confused how to fix the parity errors

[MrMrjonne]

Thanks for the help

[ShadyGriffin]

Oh, haha nvm. I just realised after the first few seconds...whoope :)

[ShadyGriffin]

Wait somehow I solved all the trudges without a parity error.....is that ok or do I need to keep looking?

[oblongfibre]

@ShadyGriffin nah sometimes you can just get lucky and have it happen, just be glad solve your cube and show off hopw much of a genius you are ^-^

[Rubixnerd101]

I have a really hard parity error, I have all but two tredges solved, and it goes in this order. I have a yellow orange center peice in the middle of two orange green peices on the tredge. On the other side of the face i have a green orange center in the middle of two orange yellow peices. Any help?

[Elmoo182]

@Rubixnerd101 What you did wrong is that you broke up one of the pairs. It's very important to keep the pairs together. When you've finished all of the pairs, make sure that they're all paired up and then move on to adding the third to the pairs.

[MRGABEKIDDA]

Thank you XD

HAHAHAHAHA (420,000) VIEWS

[larsifis0]

@dudewheresmycube HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA (432,865) VEIVS

[archer242424]

This video helped a lot just one thing though how do you line up the tredges and fix the corners to solve the whole cube?

[StiffSwE]

Thanks Dude, This video really helps me.

[xycuber1]

I have just solved it :DD Thanks :D

[juredddd]

Finally I foud person on youtube who can explain clearly how to rubix cubes not like others who just fill up your head with bounch of algorithms

[ErikDaHun]

Great I solved it! ... Now on to the memorizing.

[Ignoscis]

Thanks a whole lot man, you're the best!

[angryboarder]

hi rob i got really weird parody error and i cant solve it please help me

[antijelly]

@angryboarder It may be because someone took the cube apart and rearranged it



[angryboarder]

@antijelly thanks but i been never take my cube apart becouse its rubiks 5x5 and i been solved it once. sorry my bad english i m from finland

[antijelly]

@angryboarder Oh i see, I would recomend watching other tutorials too. Just to make sure you aren't missing something. Because it took me several times to fix a parity error i had

[Estoban86]

can you just fucking say 2 turns? your voice saying "a hundred and eighty degrees" fifty times annoys the fuck outta me

[baardi2]

If u know how to solve 4x4, this is the only part u'll need

[prndyala]

thanku u are the best rob have ever seen

[Mrpenguintickler]

How do you get the corners in the right position?

[xWhiteStripe1x]

Thanks for all the help. You've helped me master my 3x3, finish and memorize my 4x4, and finish my 5x5. I want to optimize my larger cubes, because there is some difficulty in moving the faces. I think I need to use lubrication inside of the cube, but I don't want to hugely risk breaking a cube. How should I lubricate them?

[Celespiano]

@xWhiteStripe1x You can take apart one face and ONE FACE ONLY, else, your cube will break. Apply Silicon Spray, or Petroleum jelly (something slimy) thoroughly on that face. Replace your face, and repeat on all faces.

[ChruxK]

I got the cube set 4 Christmas !!! I solved the 5x5 with no help ... Well I got parody but I just messed up the edges then solved it  . I'm 12 so my hands can't even fit around the 7x7 xD

[TheMrkaychung]

Wow Wow Wow Thank you Thank you Thank you Awesome Awesome Awesome!!!!!!!!!

[TheMrkaychung]

Awesome this awesome Rob!

[Gameskater1]

I can't figure out how to fix my stupid parity error. :(

[zuhou2]

penis...?

[JackDete]

i can't get a yellox cross on it

[askmiller]

@JackDete you're most likely not holding the cube facing the right direction when you preform the algorithm to get a cross. Make sure when you have a line it is going horizontal and when you have a L it is in the top left corner.

[DiYaRoOtHmAn]

i have another thing.... after doing everything like 3x3 and start doing the yellows... to turn them upside down.. we do 2R 2B 2U Ll 2U Ri 2U R 2U 2F R 2F Li 2B 2R... the middle one doesnt change... what to do?

[selbi182]

Will there EVER be a parity error after creating all tredge pieces (just like in the 4x4), or will it be EXACTLY like a 3x3 without any exceptions?

[mmxentertainment]

i don't get the edge pairing.i always fuck something up. resting now and gonna start fresh tomorrow before the cube has to suffer xD

[grayfox080893]

lol count how many times he says "a hundred and eighty degrees"

[pedjaster]

Thanks for the algorhythms! It was done in a jiffy.

[thebourneman]

Thanks again bro i forgot one of the peridie errors and now i watched your vid again and relearned it ty still the best 5x5 teacher

[pokedude07]

I've got a parity case where both the centers are inverted. what do I do about that

[EnslynHalo]

@pokedude07 The centers aren't inverted, both of your edge pieces are inverted, use the first algorithm

[pokedude07]

@EnslynHalo Yeah I figured it out afterwards. had to switch edges then invert centers

[ifutureman]

Actually ANY parity problem on the 5x5x5 can be solved with just one ultra-important long algorithm: the single edge fix. If you have the position shown at 3:40, you can simply "induce" a parity error by doing a single edge fix on one of the edges that is properly solved, which will result in there being three messed up edges... you can then use the classic 3x3x3 algorithm to shuffle the single center pieces on those three "tredges", and reassemble them. They can all be fixed that way.

[AminamHD]

thanks dude perfect tut !

[Darkit2099]

I got a question. I'm planning on skipping the 6x6x6 to go straight to 5x5x5. Are the parity errors for the 7x7x7 solved with the same algorithms as the 5x5x5 or is it imperative I go to the 6x6x6? Just wondering. I still plan on owning them both. BTW, what a good 4x4x4 cube I can get? I got the one from winning moves and it jams and pops all the time. It's what's slowing my down on the 4x4x4. Any recommendations?

[pokedude07]

@Darkit2099 Eastlink makes quality cubes from 3x3 to 6x6, then for 7x7 and up only has one company which is V- cube. I wouldn't be able to tell you where to find one because I son't know where you live. If you know of a "X Store" that's where I got mine

[jayarjoloyohoy18]

Ive done it!!! thanks Rob!!!! your tutorial vid is awesome!!!

[Mysticaurora1998]

How do you solve the top cross?

[thomaslefeuvre1]

you only need to know the second parity error as if you have the first error, a couple of the moves you did 100s of times fixing the edge pieces will reduce it to the second. its probably faster learning both, but i'm lazy. nice vid

[khanhluong305]

THANK YOU. I've done it :)

[iamnub672]

So basicly, the parities shown here in this video will be the only parities the 5x5x5 will ever get?

[GorillaLogic]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

For such a PHENOMENAL tutorial! Your the BEST Rob!

[Maxillian1000]

@RobH0629

ROB!!!!! Help me out, when I solve the cube like a 3x3 I cant complete the cross like the 4x4. What algorithm do i use? The one for the 4x4 only flips the middle edge.

[NVVULING]

All you need to know is 6:35

[Elf3709]

thank you so much :D

[TheBellluna]

this is where i was getting stuck. thanks alot!!

[iHaxerz]

thank you so much for helping me solve my parity errors!!!! :D :D :D :D :D I'm gonna subscribe!!

[dranzer26]

I have a problem, somehow I have all the tredges except for 1. What do I do.

[kusine94]

thank you so much for this :D

[Pilovers314]

this is the worst video I have ever seen

[Pilovers314]

this totally works amazing

[InNoc3nt01]

thank you for making this video it helps me so much my prob;em is 4x4 i cant memorize all the pattern so i wrote it in the paper haha..but now i know how to solve 2x2 3x3 4x4 and 5x5 hahaha tnx

[tvproprojects]

@InNoc3nt01 lmao! I did the same thing! I friken could remember some of the parity patterns for the 4x4 so I wrote them down on a piece of paper that I carry around with me until I memorize them. and thanks to this video I can officially say I can solve a 2x2 3x3 4x4 and 5x5 also

[BunnyTut0rials]

Wow dude... Thank you so much!!

[BioformerCorviz]

my last 2 pieces look like this if you look from one face

red/blue CENTER red/yellow

blue/red CENTER yellow/red

red/blue CENTER red/yellow

help, cuz i'm an idiot and can't exactly do it

[ProtectorxXxPredator]

@BioformerCorviz You could either use the algorithm that SteveD1008 posted (look in the uploader comments), then I believe you could use the second algorithm that Rob used in this video, or you could use the first algorithm that he used, but do it on both sides.

[BioformerCorviz]

@ProtectorxXxPredator yeah now i can do the 5x5x5 without any tutorial or any help, it ust takes me forever cuz i'm still a stupid advanced everything student with straight As

like that makes perfect sense

[MrJJThePenguin]

@BioformerCorviz same here

[Communist6Liberalism]

@BioformerCorviz you're not exempt from saying stupid things just because of your grades, you fucking idiot.

[BioformerCorviz]

@Communist6Liberalism and you're not exempted from yelling at me when you don't even know me, jerk. So because I have ADD and am smart/stupid in different areas than you, that makes everything i say stupid? well you can go burn your face or leave me alone

I know which one you're going to choose, so here's a lighter and some kerosene

[BioformerCorviz]

@Communist6Liberalism Says the guy who's channel banner is "online, everyone's a genius." who looks stupid now? Ur just a troll who's face I'd like to burn, but that'd probably make it look better instead of worse.

[TeoBoii8]

fucking not working

[godsmackfan1000]

Hey rob i am a new time 5x5x5 cube solver I learned how to solve the cube from your vid but as I was messing around with solving the edge pieces i was just wondering if it is possible to just solve the edge pieces in a certain order to just avoid a parody problem? I would like to hear back about this if u have the time

[9leealanwenhon]

Hey Rob! I'm have a little trouble. On the 4x4, you have the parity case of a dedge piece being flipped and that is solved with the 2R* 2B 2U.... But on the 5x5 I have two tredge pieces that are flipped (all of the three outer edge pieces are flipped over. Not just one middle outer edge piece.) I was searching online and I couldn't find any algorithms. I saw on yahoo that someone had the same problem. Can you help me out?

[MrPjd1969]

is it ok if i dont know how to solve a 4x4



[meinnebenmir]

first of all, you just need one algorithm for just one parity error. the one with just one edge messed up will never appear if you first pair up all the edges in pairs and then complete them with the third stone. .... by the way, where is the fun of solving a cube by learning algorithms? you can solve em but you don't have the slightest idea why.... so where's the point? use the algorithm and try to relate to what is happening, so you can solve it the next time with your own cleverness ...

[MarveledatMarvel]

Thanks for this tutorial man! Now I can amaze people who're bored of just the 3x3. I have a 4x4 but the algorithms are just too long for me to begin to memorize. The 5x5 is bigger, yet easier to solve than the 4x4!

[TheJames6514]

What do you mean to solve it like a 3x3x3

[MarveledatMarvel]

@TheJames6514 he means that you solve it exactly as you would solve a 3x3x3 cube.

[50UL3]

How do you solve this 5x5x5 error? imageshack (dot) us/photo/my-images/534/cubel (dot) jpg/

[spartanA266]

thanks that helped me so much i owe you big time

[knotsofunny]

i wish there was a reset button like on the iphone app

[razajac80]

ROB, i'm thinking on buying a 5x5 but i dont know what brand to buy for derability, and speed solving, what would you preffer. please responed :-)

[Chriscapolism]

@razajac80 V-Cube 5 on amazon!! its like $35 but worth it!!

[razajac80]

@Chriscapolism THANKS :-)

[Ihatethisalready17]

i think you said 180 degrees about 100 times, i try to fast forward and every time, i land on you saying 180 degrees, 180 degrees, 180 degrees

[PostalCode74]

YOUR NOT FLIPPING THE MIDDLE EDGE! YOUR FLIPPING THE TWO ADJACENT OUTER EDGES!!!

[donreillyxu]

Tried several times with failure, tonight I screwed up again at the parity stage, feeling frastrated, went to the page again and watched your video, realized

I was too sticked to Mathew's algorithm as to lost my own sense.

Your video gave back my intuition, after 30 minutes, I solved my 5x5 cube.

1st time.

[surtevall]

i can´t solve the cube after i lined up the three side pieces, HELP!!!

[surtevall]

then solve it just right the 3x3 cube, can´t you make a movie how to solve the reast of the cube. have been sitting whit the cube for a couple of hours and trying to solve the last picies, please do that and you will help more than me.

[andrijolic97]

Thanks you a lot. I watch just this video and you help me :)

[PeonsOnStrike]

Where did you get your 5x5x5 cube from?

I have one, but it's pretty shitty quality compared to the one you have and mine's on the edge of being unusable due to age/use

[monsteradi4]

yo rob i have a problem solving my 5x5 rubik's cube. Like I have the same case in my cube as parity case 2 in which the 2 outer pieces have to be switched around however,in my cube,the 2 middle pieces have to be switched.How do i solve it?

[DKush420Hoe]

@monsteradi4 My cube is like that right now!

[MEGAMANIABOY5]

@monsteradi4 i would do Rob's second algorithm on that situation, and then get to the situation in which the two outer wedges have to be switched, and from there you can do the algorithm

the two algorithms I am talking about are the same

(Ll)' U2 (Ll)' U2 F2 (Ll)' F2 (Rr) U2 (Rr)' U2 (Ll)2

I hope this helps

[BP2611]

i think i have found a way to solve to 5x5 rubik's cube without encountering parity errors at all (solved the 5x5 5 times with my method)

[fireboy1008]

Darn it 5x5 has parity to :(

[blodymerder2]

after watching your 40 minutes of tutorial, i looked at my 3x3 and lol'ed at it... it looks so simple xD

[stepayyy]

You know, the algorithms you use in this can be transferred to the v cube 7 by either using the side 2 layers or three layers. Thanks a lot for showing these algorithms, they helped me with both the 5 by 5 and the v cube 7!

[TheDrGuard]

you can actually solve the parity with only one algorithm (the shorter one that starts with (Ll)' you showed in this video) you just have to repeat the algorithm 2-3 times per cube but thats what i did when i first started because i couldnt memorize the longer algorithm lol.

[9409elle]

tip for training on the parity error: if you do the combination when the cube is correct, you get an parrity error

[TRADEMARKMEN]

THANKS FOR THE HELP...AND CONGRADS ON YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS...YOU ARE A GENIOUS WITH THESE CUBES...

[ExplosiveGaming9]

your algorithm doesn't work for some reason it just screws up the rest of my cube

[hojen123]

hey can u respond to this comment please

[TheReverseVids]

what are the algorithms for solving the last bit after you'v done the parity errors?

[suezotiger]

Nice video. I use it for my V-7 all the time.

[gunmayhanda]

how do u fix a parity error dat has the two edges of each tredge solved, but the centers r flipped?

[lamboman1000]

it's two or "fewer", not two or "less"

[RobH0629]

@lamboman1000 Thank you for making me aware of my grammatical errors :-) I know that if you can quantify how many, it's "fewer"--if not, then "less". You should definitely try instructing a 10 minute 5x5 cube tutorial without having any "uhhs" or speaking errors, and I doubt you're human ;-)

[lamboman1000]

@RobH0629 If you knew what it was then why didn't you SAY it. And yes I am human.

[lamboman1000]

@RobH0629 If you knew what it was then why didn't you SAY it?  And yes I am human. Good video though.

[woe9is6me]

@lamboman1000 dude fuck off

[diehickman]

@RobH0629 both (Ll) sides is not counter clock wise they are clock wise.

[11thbao]

@RobH0629 HAHHA xD lamboman 1000 just got POOOOOOOWNED!! xD ROFL

[BroadcastGamers]

@RobH0629 dude i know! i was just amazed at all of your grammatical greatness. no uhs or pauses, you have this shit down bro ;D

[JTX8000]

@RobH0629 What a wise comment!

[alexkhleif]

@lamboman1000 Who cares? You might be the only person who gives a shit.

[GorillaLogic]

@lamboman1000 dissed

[bismarck0910]

during the final layer of the 5x5x5 cube wheni was solving it as a 3x3x3 cube, i got the same problem as the 4x4x4 cube where you only have a three quarts cube, i tried the same algorythm as the 4x4 but the middle edge piece didn't switch, what's the alorythm for that problem

[MSHdrummer18]

I'm new-ish to cubing and have watched these videos on how to solve the cubes. I can solve a 2x2 3x3 and 4x4 and am moving onto the 5x5. I was wondering if you would suggest me getting a v-cube(they look more flexible and sturdy) or stick with the rubik's brand?

[shadowfear36]

rob u can also work around the edges by undoing the top 2 it is efficient and works alot faster

[2itch]

Corners?!?

[24FelipeGomez]

hey Rob, for 5x5, V-Cubes are better

[AdamG1080]

love how when you refresh the page you have to watch the ad over and over and over and over again.

[hannsze2212]

someone help mee

[hannsze2212]

thanks! in one of your parity error patterns, only the outer edge piece is wrongly placed. I have a situation where by my middle piece is in the wrong position. requires me to swap it opposite.

can i use the same algro?

[Darrencompany1010]

thanks RobH0629

[C53H]

i dont think i have any of these paritys, i have 2 tredges i need to pair up and it KINDA looks like the checkard board parity but i have the 2 green and red on top of a red and blue edge piece and the same thing on the other side but the opposite way. blue and red edge ontop and on bottom of a green and red edge. have an algorthim for that? or do i do the checkard board algorithm

[REYDELA050165]

Flipping over the top edge piece . same prob with 4x4???? show me how to solve it in 5x5? what is the algo....?

[penngwinn]

Hey Rob. Thank so much for these videos.They are by far the best, clearest, and most patient videos on here for solving this cube. I'm no dummy, but I'm not looking to memorize notation. I solved my cube once and I'm on my second time around. Those damn parody errors kick my butt. So thanks for the help.

[dece26]

Rob can you PLEASEEEEE put the entire solve for the 5x5x5 cube ... i really want to solve it but i dont know the 3x3x3 or the 4x4x4 algorythms .. please :)

[advanceshipping24]

THANK YOU RobH0629!!!! I FINALLY SOLVED MY 5x5x5 RUBIK'S CUBE. I JUST BOUGHT IT LAST MARCH 14,2011. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! :)

[andr00123]

I have trouble remembering these algorithms :(

[deathboarder129]

@JBAKAJJEROCKS

OH i get it now tty

[deathboarder129]

Hey Rob, you said solve it like a 3x3 after this... What do you mean?

[JBAKAJJEROCKS]

@deathboarder129 once you get the edge cubes in sets and the centers correct, the design is the same as a 3x3 rubiks cube. so to finish the solve, you just solve the cube like it were a scrabled 3x3.

[lllllll0LUIS0lllllll]

and do this 180 degrees, this 180 degrees, then clockwise, then this 180 degrees............. that anoyyed me XD

[massivecomplexity]

4:00 my cube just has two different tredges in the same way as last time. i've done this alot of times now and it won't fix itself.

[lindqvist98]

You fricken Faggot

[rubixwiz031]

thumbs up if while watching ths you are solving your new 5x5

[beckhamshotz]

Thanks for the tip, if it wasn't for the stupid parities I would have solved the 5x5x5 with NO HELP whatsoever :/ But I think I can get away with saying i had no help. Btw, you have the nerdiest voice and speech style I have ever heard:)

[Ipwnwithmatrix]

I have an error that u didn't metion!!!?????

[SteveD1008]

At 6:48 you mention a shorter algorithm that is used for the 4x4x4 cube. Are you refering to: (Dd) R F' U R' F (Dd)' ?

[RobH0629]

@SteveD1008 Yes, it is. I didn't show how to solve it with that algorithm here, but I did in my 6x6 tutorial (solved the same exact way). If you go to my Step 3 of my 6x6 tutorial, at around 13:20 you will see me explain how that case is solved with the algorithm. I will include a link to that video in the description, thanks!

[ghostring031083]

someone please explain to me the last part which is solving it as a 3x3x3. btw, i already managed to eliminate all the parity errors.

help is very much appreciated. thanks ;)

[ghostring031083]

@ghostring031083 nvm i figured it out. ;)

[leehockey8]

i have tredge parody such as 4x4 dedge parody on last layer.. 2 cases actually and when i apply the corresponding parody algo is only flips the 2 outside edge pieces of the tredge, not the middle one. help please? :S

[boi905]

@leehockey8 i have the exact same problem. i have solved my 5x5x5 several times before and never had this issue. 2 flipped tredges. help us rob! lol

[leehockey8]

@boi905 i played around with it and it turns out it is pretty easy to solve

[boi905]

@leehockey8 lol yeah ok i just tried re sovling it as a 3x3 and that fixed it.

[extrajewshy]

@mechwarreir2 you need to mix you cube up more

[xDoctorMooch]

He says. To solve it like a regular 3x3 at the end. I learned how to solve a 3x3 from pogobat. So my question is do I just use the R' D' R D algorithm?

[xMyPrefectWorldx]

@xDoctorMooch Yeah for final corners. when you've done the centres and alligned the Tredges correctly, solve it like a 3x3.the centre 3x3 bits represent 1 block on the 3x3, the 3 matched tredges represent the middle tredge on a 3x3. Easy as pie.

[mechwarreir2]

Um there seems to be something wrong. Ive solved the 5x5x5 quite few times now by using logic, and I have never gotten edge parity with the 5x5x5.

[andr00123]

STFU U FUCKING BLAH ADVERT!!!!!!

[ypi314]

thanks so much rob!!! i just solved my 5x5!

[spyrosbiggestfan5678]

Yay mine was scrambled for over a year but it's finally done! Thank you!

[MDayman666]

Finally, Thanks to you no I can sleep easily

[F1XTH3MU51C]

I've learned the 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4 and 5x5x5. In my opnion, I think that the 5x5x5 is easier than the 4x4x4.

[MattPixInc]

@F1XTH3MU51C And the 7x7 is easier then the 6x6

[hannahfanna789]

@bnichs51259 you have to know how to solve the 3x3x3 rubiks cube before attempting a 5x5x5. He even said that...Judging from your comment, it seems like you do not know how to solve a 3x3x3. When you solve the centers and edges, you will have a cube that resembles a scrambled 3x3x3 rubiks cube. To solve the cube, imagine the cube as a 3x3x3 and solve it. Then...wala! Your done!

[jaredkyser719]

im having trouble with the parity edge i have all but to done, but you dont go over this one its where the middle's are switched so what do i do

[TheRiffCalendar]

i have never experienced the first one...

[rehdkb]

I am sick of u saying "a 180 degrees"

[Lightblinder]

yay, did it! thanks for the guide man....geez, this thing is a beast, it feels good to see it solved but when I see parity case 3 I just wanna throw it through the window.....

[werdnandrew4]

where do you by the esheen cubes ?

[mohawkpiper]

@werdnandrew4 i bought mine at cube4you.com
