Cube within a Cube pattern

2x2x2, 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 are Eastsheen, 3x3x3 is Rubik's brand.
The 5x5x5 is like that from an algorithm I found, the others me and a friend made like that from scrambled. The only difficulty was the 4x4x4.

I'm trying to dot that 4x4x4 pattern, but when I'm at the end, I always have corner parity and the algoritms that I use for solving the cube normally don't work. Can you please tell me how you did that last part?

@producoeshitler Sorry, you're going to have to be a bit more specific with "that last part". However, I get the idea if you use a corner parity algorithm you find anywhere on the net and then rearrange the centres to fit it'll work just fine. Find a 3-cycle for center pieces that are in adjacent faces and you'll get there.

how do u do that

@TrentsCubes With some time and two guys that know their way around cubic puzzles.

what is the algorithm for the 4x4?

[HarlnivorousBeast]

@andygreeny11 Intuition mate. Just set up the centres how we wanted them, then put all the edges into the pairs required, solved into the required state like a 3x3 and then shifted some centres around to get the right orientation on them.

a cube within a cube.. CUBECEPTION sorry had to say that lol

Cube in a cube in 2x2 and flipped opposite corners in 3x3: D F2 D' R B2 R' D F2 D' R B2 R'

Cube in a cube in 3x3 (cube in a cube for 2x2 too): F L F U' R U F2 L2 U' L' B D' B' L2 U

Cube in a cube in a cube for 3x3: F' U B' R' U F2 U2 F' U' F U2 D B' D' R2 B2 U'

Cube in a cube in a cube for 4x4: F' U B' R' U F2 U2 F' U' F U2 D B' D' R2 B2 U' Fw Lw Fw Uw' Rw Uw Fw2 Lw2 Uw' Lw' Bw Dw' Bw' Lw2 Uw

You can make this cube in a cube... in a cube pattern for any NxN cube with these algorithms

Dark0wn3r what does B means?

[Dark0wn3r]

@kibbertron Yes, it means both faces

[AgitoKuro6O70]

Yo dawg I hear you like Rubik's cubes.

[kibbertron]

@Dark0wn3r What does the w mean? does it mean both left or right faces

[RBerry813]

Pretty cool man, I like it. By the way, do you happen to have any good techniques for lubricating Eastsheen cubes? I would appreciate any feedback, thanks and take care. :-)

[asteios2]

@Dark0wn3r , when you say Fw , what does that mean? what does the w mean

[socool1998]

@Metakirby9000 lol

[Metakirby9000]

@socool1998 dammit I was going to say that

[Komonder]

:D ya pudeee me tarde como 20 minutos pero pude hacer en ese orden de colores el 3x3x3 :D
