(HOW TO SOLVE A THE 4x4 RUBIK'S CUBE)
Hey guys in this video showing you How to solve the 4x4 Rubik's Cube. The first time solving
the 4x4 Rubik's Cube, is to build the centers. I'm gonna start building a White Center.
So find this piece and this piece or whatever other pieces and make sure you
build that line (1x2) like this and put it onto the top layer. Next step is to find
the other two pieces so these two are already paired up, I'm gonna just move
them up into the top layer so we could build a White Center.
And the cases like this, basically where it did not pair it up just move them out
the way and turn it back in a way that pairs them up and move them into the top.
White Centers are very self-explanatory and very easy to do. Now it's time to do the
yellow Center because yellow is the opposite of white, so basically put that
white over or the white on the bottom and put yellow Center on the top. Now
we're gonna find a yellow center piece, and this one this one's are
on top so we don't need to do that one, so now we're gonna put this one and
match it up with this one, so we're gonna move it like this and move it up so it
matches, but you also disturbed a white piece so we can move this out the way
and reattach the white so it remains solved. Alright so we got a 1 by 2 bar
on yellow. Now I'm going to build another 1 by 2 bar to put it on the top so this
one and this one we can align it like this and now when you put this up we're
gonna hide this one as well because if we do it like this one we disturbed a
white and no matter how much we twist it it's gonna bring yellow that down so
we're gonna move it up into another yellow spin it twice and bring this back
down so we solved the yellow Center and the white centers. Now it's time to solve
the remaining four centers and remember this phrase (BOGR) "B" is blue, "O" is
orange, "G" is green and "R" is red, so we're going to build blue orange green and red so
basically you have to follow this order or they're gonna have a messed up cross
at the 3x3 stage. So we're gonna start building the blue, these two can form a
blue so we're gonna move this layer down, move this back and move back up so we
have a 1x2 blue block. Alright we're gonna build a next 1x2 blue block and
that one is right here so we're gonna move it in like that blue up, make sure you
don't destroy this one with over there and move back up so we have a Blue
Center. Right next to blue over here is gonna be orange so so we're gonna do
orange right here, so let's this piece that this piece can pair it
like this but once we did that we also messed up a blue, so we can move this up the
way so you have to keep track of where we're doing it I've moved the blue back
down so you keep the blue Center solved. Now we're gonna solve this orange center
up here, so again just like the yellow we can't move it over here because when we
reattach the blue we're gonna actually good pull this back down again, so we're
gonna have to put it into a solved place like this, move it twice and bring this
piece back down so now we have a solved orange and a solved blue Center. After
orange is green be (OG) and green has to go here, so we're gonna find a green, so
this one's already built so we can move this up and spin it twice and restore the
blue and orange at the back. Alright so green is over here just like that
we're gonna put this up into here, spin it twice and bring it back down, and once
you've solved green you also automatically solve red because these are the last two
centers. A little speedbump you might run into is when you have this case and two of
them are solved like these two and just remaining these two, so what you
want to do is just line this green up with a 1x2 bar on the top like this
and put it up, so when you pair this up and you pair
these move this over and bring this whole row back down, and now you should
have all your centers solved. Alright after solving the six centers, it's time
to solve the edges, so basically what you want to do is, I'm gonna do white all the
white edges and then all the yellows and then work it out from there, so what you
want to do is find any edge with white on it,
so for example, this one has a white and blue and this one has white and blue and put
them in the formation like this, make sure they're not in the same row so if
this was up here that would not work and I'll show you how to do that later on. So
if you find a piece that, like this, slice it like this so it pairs up but
you also realize you also destroyed all four centers on the front of the cube, and
what you want to do is move this edge into the top layer move it over and move
this back down and now we can restore these centers and now we have one solved
white piece. Alright here's a case where the two and the same layer and we
need to get this one over here or this one over here, so how we do that is follow
this simple algorithm which is gonna be on top of the screen, and just like that
we also have this over here and this over here so now we can slice them, just
like that we're gonna move this onto the top layer and replace with any piece over
here, and move this back down to restore the centers. Alright this piece is white and
orange, and this one has white and orange, and they're are in the same slots so we're
gonna move this across move this up, and move it over bring this piece down
and restore so we have fixed the centers. Alright the last two are green and green,
and the white piece so we're gonna flip them because then in the same row, so
we're gonna do this just like that and now we have them in a different row,
slice them and move it up, now when you move it across we have solve piece here when
you move that down and slice back you're gonna destroy one of the solved ones you
just solved, so what you want to do is keep moving it until you find one that's
not solved and I move it down and it slice it back now now we've done all the white
edges. Now do yellow, so we're gonna flip it over to find something yellow
pieces, we got a yellow and green and a yellow green here and you know put it into
the correct places, we're gonna slice it, pair it, move it into the tops layer and move
it over and bring this back down slice back to fix the centers. The next yellow
is yellow and blue and the yellow blue is right here, so we're gonna move it down
into formation, and we're gonna pair these up and now we're gonna move it up
and find an unsolved piece so we can switch it with, so this one move it back down, and
slice back. So I keep doing this over and over until all your edges are solved. Alright
here's a little speed bump you might run into, so when you pair these
two up, so yellow and orange and yellow orange pair it up you move it on top but
all the edges on top are solved and if you do on the other side and move it up
all the edges of solved, so basically you can't
really slice back to pair out the centers because you're gonna destroy a
single edge so what you want to do is you just move a piece that is
not solved into it from these layers into top, like that so this one's not
solved, now we can slice again move it up now we have a free piece to replace it
with and now slice back. Alright the final speed bump is the last two edges
so when you pair one of them, you can't really do anymore
so these two have flipped and this is the only time you want them in the same row
of each other like that, again if they're not flipped, I'll show you the algorithm on
top the screen, just follow that right there alright if you followed it just
pause the video whatever when you did, we're gonna do this algorithm to solve
the last two, so these two over like this move it up, ... down and slice back, and now
if you have all your edges solved on the 4x4 Rubik's Cube (Congrats)
Alright from this step just solve it like a normal 3x3 Rubik's Cube, but you
might run to a few steps called parity which I'll show you right now. Alright
this is parity basically when you solve F2L and you're last layer,
and you're on the OLL stage, and you get something that you don't recognize from a 3x3 cube.
which is like this on the yellow, you could have two to four edges up to two
to three or four edges on top but can't ever you can get one on top, basically
this is a parity so you need to mess up some centers to do this.
If you don't have this, keep going on to PLL, but you also might get a parity on
PLL, so just keep watching this video. So for this follow the algorithm on top of the
screen and we'll solve this together! (WE CAN DO IT)
Alright now you should have a familiar case, with two or more edges on top. Alright
you're on PLL and you see something else. that's not familiar on
3x3, like this these two edges are solved, while others are not solved. So
on 3x3, this is an impossible move to get because you have to take
pieces out to rearrange them like this before you can get it, because the
Centers are not you know here, so to solve this case just look on top of the
screen this works for any non familiar PLLs.
So you can do this will work for this like two edges swap like this you know, it'll
work for it any of these so like this algorithm on top will work for any
of them to get you back to a familiar PLL, so follow the algorithm! Alright,
once you've done the algorithm, you should now have the familiar PLL or
have a solved cube.So these three edges go this way, which is the u perm, you
should already know this (FROM 3x3) and there you go.
4x4 is pretty impressive if you can solve it in front your friends and just
