Link to Part 2 – Finishing the Centers: www.youtube.com This is the first step 1 and part 1 of my tutorial on how to solve a 5×5 5x5x5 Rubik’s Cube Professor. The second part covers how to finish the remaining 4 centers. I have placed the link to the second part in the VIDEO RESPONSES section for THIS video.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A 3X3 OR 4X4 TUTORIAL, PLEASE VISIT MY CHANNEL BY CLICKING MY NAME. THANK YOU. This part introduces new component descriptions and concepts for solving the 5×5 Rubik’s Professor, since there are many more pieces than a regular cube and also more than a 4×4. However, solving the 5×5 is VERY similar to the 4×4, so you should not have that much difficulty getting adjusted to having more edges and center pieces. Notation Review/Examples: R = Outer Right face clockwise u = inner Up face clockwise (Ll)’ = Both Outer and Inner left faces counter-clockwise (Rr)2 = Both Outer and Inner Right faces 180 degrees The main pieces that make up the center 3×3 block are (what I call them): -Middle Center Piece (the axis piece or middlemost part of each side). This color of this piece designates the color to the side it is on. There is only one per side. – Side/Edge Center Pieces – These basically flank the middle center piece, forming what looks like a cross when they are aligned properly next to the middle center piece. There are …

How to Solve a 5x5x5 Rubik’s Cube – Part 3 – Edge Pairing

Link to Part 4 – Parity Errors: www.youtube.com Shows how to pair the edges of the 5×5 cube. This is the most time consuming part of solving the 5×5 Rubik’s Cube Professor. PART 4 can be found under VIDEO RESPONSES! This part covers how to match up TWO edge pieces at a time. The two edge pieces we will be working with in this video are the OUTER/WING edge pieces and the INNER/MIDDLE edge pieces. There are more advanced methods of edge pairing which can match upto 6 pairs of “tredges” (12 edge pieces) at a time, however, since it is a little more involved I will not cover multiple edge pairing in this video. I first go into detail on how to identify two edge pieces and then position them so they can be matched. PART 4 IS NOW OUT!! CLICK ON THE VIDEO UNDER VIDEO RESPONSES TO WATCH THE FINAL PART.

Link to Step 4: www.youtube.com Link to Step 3b – A Video Response PLEASE WATCH IF YOU HAVE ONLY YELLOW EDGES ON THE TOP LAYER!! www.youtube.com A Tutorial on how to place the middle edge pieces. *NOTE* THIS VIDEO IS NOT MEANT FOR YOU TO COPY EXACTLY AND FOLLOW ALONG. IT IS MEANT TO SHOW YOU WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR OWN CASES. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AS I MENTION WHICH WAY TO TURN YOUR PIECE, WHAT SIDES TO LIFT, AND ESPECIALLY WHAT COLORS TO BE LOOKING AT. As viewer rorygamble (thanks) pointed out, I accidentally said “counter-clockwise” instead of “clockwise” at time 3:07. The move, however, was done correctly except I should have said “clockwise, or up” instead. Hope there was no confusion and let me know if there are any questions. Looking in the top layer, you must find edge pieces (have two colors) which do not have any yellow colored stickers (those are going to be placed later). The edge pieces you want to find are Red/Green, Green/Orange, Orange/Blue, and Blue/Red. Once you have found any of those in a top layer edge position, you must turn the top layer until the color on the side of that edge piece (such as blue in the blue/red edge piece) is matched with its center. You must then determine which direction the piece must be placed. If the color on top (for the red/blue piece that has blue on the side, the color on top is red) of the edge piece has a center to the left, the piece must be placed to the left, and vice versa. After determining where the piece needs to be …
