How to Solve a 6x6x6 V-Cube 6 - Part 4 - Parity Errors

Sorry for the delay in release of part 4. This Part explains how to solve the 6x6 as a 3x3 and provides algorithms for fixing the last layer parity errors

How to solve the Upper Cross: (covered in my 3x3 tutorial - Step 4)
If you have a parity algorithm, you will see something like what I have displayed in the video. You will never be able to get the cross without flipping an edge group.

If you have a parity error, to switch patterns to get the "3/4 cross, perform this algorithm:

F U R U' R' F'

Parity Error - Edge Group Flip
Hold the cube as shown in the video, then perform the following algorithm:

3r2 B2 U2 3l U2 3r' U2 3r U2 F2 3r F2 3l' B2 3r2

To complete the top face: (Please refer to my 3x3 tutorial - Step 5)

We need to position the cube in certain ways (Step 5) before performing the given algorithm to complete the top face:

R U R' U R U2 R'

Positioning the Top Corners: (Step 6 of 3x3 tutorial)

Look along the top layer for two adjacent corners (same side) that have the same color. Once you find two, those must be placed on the Back (B) face. If you do not have two corners which have the same color, any side can be on the Back face, as long as Yellow is on TOP and White/Black is on Bottom. Then the algorithm can be performed:

R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2

To Switch Two Opposite Edge Groups: (PLL parity error)

3u2 3r2 U2 3r2 R2 U2 3r2 3u2

OR use the modified 4x4 Algorithm:

3r2 R2 U2 3r2 R2 3u2 3r2 R2 3u2 U2

To rotate last 3 edge groups clockwise:

R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R'

OR to rotate counter-clockwise

Allan Algorithm: L2 U' B F' L2 B' F U' L2




F2 U' L R' F2 L' R U' F2
Inverse of Given: R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2

@RobH0629 dude, you are a legend, thanks a lot, you have helped me solve a 3x3x3 all the way up to a 6x6x6, your videos are so great, i can solve all of the puzzles, not necessarily fast but i am speeding up. You are a great teacher, thanks a lot for your videos. ONTO THE V-CUBE 7

[anaghtelluri]

Please make a 2 2 2 tutorial and a v cube7 tutorial

I have a question regarding your cube. Did it come that easy to solve or did you have to break it in? and also, did any of your 6x6 ever fall apart in the middle of your solve? I have had mine for less than a day and on the third time that I was solving it, it just fell apart and I had to spend close to 5 hours figuring out how to put it back together.

I have a corner parity! Why didnt you explain this?

[baseball4life101101]

Hey could u make a tutorial for a 7x7 or if u have one give me the link

[MrMac1220]

thanks for the help

[lorenalexia101]

yeh i need help when i have just the top layer to do, i have 2 corner pieces that are in eachothers position, and i need an algorithim to switch them (they are on the same face, they arent diagonal from eachother they are accross or next to eachother) HELP ASAP

[berber1899]

I have a question, I solve the rubiks cube the beginner method, this means that i solve the top cross then align the final centers. Then i orient the corners, but i should have three cases 1) no corners should be oriented 2) one should be oriented 3) all of them should be oriented. In the 6x6 only 2 corners are oriented and the 4x4 parity algorithm for switching the last corner doesn't work

please help me!

[mhaikal99]

your the first master in my list :D

[BIGBMXC12345]

im on the last step where the last 2 corners aren't solved but the others are an everything else is solved but just the last 2 corners. thanks

[mbdpeace]

Thanks these were really helpful!!!

@anaghtelluri to solve the 2x2x2 just do the same as you do on the 3x3x3
