THANK YOU FOR A REDO, I was about to kill myself, trying to follow your old tutorial.

[ZaeloRae]

@VVilcord Hehe, yeah, sorry about the old one.

I disassembled my Alexander's Star just now, and am about to assemble it again corrected. Is there a key to how to make sure all colors go according to their proper placement, like a color net or something.

[ZaeloRae]

@MurakumoElite Just make sure that each face is a single color and that opposite faces.

How do you take it apart?

[ZaeloRae]

@Acorparation I don't recommend taking it apart, because the pieces are designed to go in, not out. However, if you can carefully remove one edge piece, the rest can be slipped out rather easily. I did this by using a flathead screwdriver to pop out the edge.

Again, I do not recommend do this.

I'm so glad somebody knows how to do this... my parents have had this thing for over 30 years and i found it. Since I have mastered the normal cube I have been dieing to try and find out how to solve the star...

-I hope I will last through the other parts of the vid..... =/
