hit doesn't help my case

[SgtMartyPants]

I was trying to talk myself into getting one of these. After watching your video I know I'm going to get one now. Do you recommend any certain brand?

[stevenarducci]

@SgtMartyPants I have never tried another brand other than C4Y. I do however like the one that I have. Hope it helps....

Finally a great tutorial on this. It even got me to finish my 3x3x9. Thanks a bunch!

you could put subtitles in Italian?

[ct5010]

algorithm.

[rubixwiz031]

its really just a glorified 2x3x3

[Buggy793]

This is a great tutorial! :D

I don't even have a 3x3x5 and I can follow along nicely!

[MyRatLover]

I love this video. I watched it like 50 times!

[qustrxez]

thanks a lot, now i just gotta memorize the algorithms and ill be all set

[Berntisso]

I have a 2nd parity, where two edges in the middle lair i swiched. I can't find out how to solve it. Pleace help!

[stevenarducci]

@Berntisso Just perform the parity algirythm before you solve the top and bottom layers and it should still fix it.

[Berntisso]

@stevenarducci Yeah, I discoverd right after that comment that the situatiun whasn't passeble. I had a pop on it, which did that two pices couldn't be solved.

Thanks man this was like the only 3x3x5 tutorial I could find!! It was sooooo helpful!!

thanks again and good luck with your other tutorials!!

[AxxeelR8]

very nice tutorial. thank you :)

[electrogeek1996]

couldn't parity be simplified to 2L-2r-2u-2L-2r-2u? same as on 3x3 switches 2 opposite edges

[uaesbriosheje]

@electrogeek1996 i dont think it can be fixed like that because it will also swith the middle edges, not only the 2 opposite ones... I think it can be fixed with an M' setup then H perm then M... I'm using that and that works ^_^

[rubixluver123]

Your tutorial is awesome! With it I am now able to solve my 3x3x7! Thanks alot!

[stevenarducci]

@rubixluver123 You are welcome, I enjoy a lot of your reviews, so thank you too!

@stevenarducci thanks stevenarducci

@rubixluver123 I am having trouble with finishing the second layer of my 3x3x7. I have the bottom 2 and 1 of the top done, but the second top one I am having trouble with the algorithms. The edges are the main problem right now. I am trying to do an edge switch, but the algorithm always messes up my pieces, so I have to reverse it each time. I'm doing it exactly how it says. Sorry if this isn't very explanatory. But how did you solve yours?

[rubixluver123]

@BDawgsvids The outer most layers will go last. Basically how it works is you get it into a 3x3 shape. Then solve the 3rd from bottom layer and middle at the same time as if it were a 3x3. From there you would work on the 2nd from the bottom layer, then 3rd from top layer, and lastly solve the two outer most layers like a domino. This cube is almost identical to a domino/ 3x3x2. Hope that isn't very confusing. If it helps I could possibly do a walkthrough/tutorial. Let me know!

[BDawgsvids]

@rubixluver123 I was a little confused. It's late at night. =P But if you could make a tutorial that would be great! There are none on youtube that actually explain well. If you can't, that's fine. Thank you for sending me that response though! I will try to understand it tomorrow. XP

[rubixluver123]

@BDawgsvids Alright, let me know if you still want a video. (Since you said you will try to understand it) :P

[BDawgsvids]

@rubixluver123 I think I'm gonna need a video. XP

[rubixluver123]

@BDawgsvids Will do. I'll try to get it out as soon as I can!

[BDawgsvids]

@rubixluver123 Thank you so much!

[yit2525]

u make this way to difficult, u can just do the edge swap alg that u use on big cubes like a 5x5,

[edsucksfredrocks]

Since you can solve a 7x7x7 like a 5x5x5, can you solve a 3x3x7 like a 3x3x5?

[stevenarducci]

@edsucksfredrocks I do not own one YET but I'm almost positive it will be solved using the same algs.

[edsucksfredrocks]

@stevenarducci Thanks a lot!  :))

[supersmashfan23]

i have a problem with the parity error... i have the case that not only the midle 2 edges, but also the two small middle pieces have flipped. and i dont know how to fix it. could you help me pls?

[stevenarducci]

@supersmashfan23 I sent you a message. :)

[CreemeOfCheese]

@stevenarducci I have the same problem that he did. A parity with all three edges switched.. :( please help me :)

[stevenarducci]

@CreemeOfCheese Is there any way you could make a short video showing me the problem?

[concretecubes]

oh this is awesome i a mgood at the 2x3x3 so i can just do the lat layers like a 2x3x3 :DDDD

[Sp0ng3b0bb3]

can u use fridrich to solve the last layer??

[Sp0ng3b0bb3]

edit: i bought this cube and i try that fridrich does'nt work :p

[concretecubes]

@Sp0ng3b0bb3 why wouldetn it?

[CreemeOfCheese]

@Sp0ng3b0bb3 no
