Solving the Rex Cube - Part 1

Yo! This is Jake Rueth (www.jakerueth.com) and I made a video demonstration of how to solve the REX Cube from www.Mefferts.com.

It is a fun puzzle, I highly recommend picking one up to play with.

In this first part I show how to solve the edges, check for parity, and finish 3 faces on the cube.

you can check for that parity case when you do the first layer of edges hold white on top and look for a red white blue corner in clockwise order

@nezpez5 Yup! But for people who don't know official color schemes that might be tricky for them to pick up. Great tip and it should be something worked in to your method if you want to speed solve. Thanks for posting!

solving the wings can be shortened a lot with the 3-cycles you use in your mster skewb solution. by applying my fto method to the rex cube and using 2 different 3-cycles i could solve it in 1:32.
