The algorithm in words is rotate the column with the one you're swapping 180 degrees, turn one of the two faces we are solving 90 degrees (in either direction), turn the new column that put your piece on 180 degrees, undo the 90 degree turn, undo the first 180, redo the 90, undo the second 180 (and optionally undo the 90). The whole cube is untouched except for the swap. It's very elegant, and you do the same algorithm to undo it.
Actually, i found a helpful method for solving my centers. Now i'm confused becausei only have two insolved edges left and i don't know how to do it. i think i should have done it row by row for each color instead of worrying about completing the edge first. is there a way to solve it from here or should i just start my edges over? they're all solved except two of them. How do i do it to not mess up my other edges?
Hmm...just finished trying it. It didn't really effect anything. My last two edges are still the same. Should i post what i did so you see how i'm doing it? I followed the steps and nothing happened.
yeah, you kinda have to do it with knowlage on what rows to do it. sorry, I forgot to tell you. do the manuver only for rows that the edges facing you are the same edge
Ok. Did that. Now none of them that are facing me are the same edge. So..now what?
Right now, i have only my White Orange and my Yellow orange edges, scrambled, and i tried a whole bunch of stuff. Is there a way that i can like, redo my edges without screwing up my centers? I'm already 8 hours into it, i don't wanna have to start over. Unless i have to..
if there are no more same edges, then do L' U B' Y. This should swap the edge rows so you can check for pairs again. Also, can you post a video response so I can see your case?
Do the centers HAVE to be opposite to each other? I'm attempting to solve a 20x20x20 and i don't know how to go about my last two centers. If i try this method, like, will it only work if they are oriented in this way? or is there a way to do it when they are adjacent?
for this method, the centers have to be across from each other. But, I can show you how to make it so that the centers that are not solved are opposite each other
So if i do that but for the faces opposite each other, will it mess up my already solved centers? As in, is there anything to keep in mind while applying rule #2 to the last centers?
Sure! i was going to remake the videos anyway but my camera broke, but heres some advice! first of all, you have to make sure the last 2 centers are on opposite faces, and then, look for, uuuuu, well, its kinda hard to explain it in words....just do the same thing for rule number 2 in step one. if you have anymore trouble, please tell me
yeah sorry about that. you see, I'm not finished, and people were asking me to make separate videos for the cubes, and when I was doing so, my camcorder broke, so right now I don't really have any other option other than to keep these first videos up
Do you mean at the end you're always stuck with two unpermuted corners at the top? Well, if that's the case, then you have to use a permutation parity of edge pairs. I can't make any vids right now, because my camcorder won't work
both have the parity where just 2wings are flipped. on the 6x6 you can even have that all 4 are flipped (OLL parity) and that two whole edges (all 4 pieces) have changed position.

what the algarythem i cant tell what your doing?
foamy11 3 years ago
the videos are going to be remade
Mindstormscreator 3 years ago
with the algarythems on there and u do them slower?
foamy11 3 years ago
I was definatly going to go slower, and I guess I could make a notation system

there is a possible way. try repeating sequences of moving a slice over, R, F' U R' F and moving the row back over

Ok will do. Did you mean U instead of Y? I'm posting the video now. But yeah, i've done that, and somehow, non of them are opposite. I'll show you..

sorry its hard to communicate through text instead of video. Ill see your vid

southsouthbronx 3 years ago
nope, as long as you do the last 2 centers correctly, it will not interfere with the other solved centers
Mindstormscreator 3 years ago
Well, i'm doing exactly what the vid says to do but i keep getting like one one cube from one of my already solved centers messed up. wtf?!
southsouthbronx 3 years ago
can you please post a video response to show your problem?
Mindstormscreator 3 years ago
I'm having a hard time, i can't seem to finish my last two centers... Any help/suggestions?

Can you put up parts about 6x6 edge and corner parities? Always stuck on two last corners...

alright, thx anyway
ArymeZWretched 3 years ago
this didnt help me at all you didnt explain how to do it
skatermusicians 3 years ago
did you watch the other parts? it will make more sense
Mindstormscreator 3 years ago
ya im up to this stp ad i dont gt how to swap too pieces
skatermusicians 3 years ago
ok ill redo it when i can
Mindstormscreator 3 years ago
awesome!
skatermusicians 3 years ago
dude you dont hav to redo it. i didnt figure this out but i learned a different way
skatermusicians 3 years ago
thanks, but most people want to know this method and have requested to redo it, but I can't do much now because my camera broke
Mindstormscreator 3 years ago
both have the parity where just 2wings are flipped. on the 6x6 you can even have that all 4 are flipped (OLL parity) and that two whole edges (all 4 pieces) have changed position.
whauk 3 years ago
yeah i knew that, I just forgot to share it, because pretty much every cube ha some kind of parity
Mindstormscreator 3 years ago
You know, at the last centers, i always get as many pieces as possible on that side, and then i do the remaining one by one
leopulga 3 years ago
yeah that's faster, but this method is supposed to be a very easy method, so it may not be 100% practical
Mindstormscreator 3 years ago
yes, V cube 6 does, that's why in the beginning I said that V cube 6 is harder than V cube 7
Mindstormscreator 3 years ago
ya I could do a 5x5x5 on my own before a 4x4x4 because of parity.
