When learning to solve a 5X5 Rubik’s Cube a Parody Solve is perhaps the most difficult part.<\/p>\n

I’ve been solving cubes in my shows for a while now, \u00a0and I constantly learn new things with the cubes just to keep me sharp with the cube. \u00a0When I was given a 5X5 cube it took a while to learn. \u00a0This was the stage I got stuck at!<\/p>\n

I’m mostly posting this here because I know I’ll forget it and will be able to reference it here later. \u00a0If you don’t use this on a regular basis you’ll easily forget it.<\/p>\n

In a 5X5 cube you first solve the centres, then the edges. \u00a0The edges are the 3 pieces that are in the middle of each edge. \u00a0You want them to be the same. \u00a0Here’s a pic of the edges the way you want them to look\"\"<\/p>\n

You can see in the top a completed green and white edge, and a completed green and orange edge. \u00a0This is how you want it to look!<\/p>\n

However, when solving the edges it’s common that the last 2 edges you try and solve will have a “parody”. \u00a0a parody in this case is 2 pieces that are in the wrong place and need to be switched. \u00a0Here is a pic of the 2 that need switching<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you can see from my great artistic ability this method is to switch these 2 pieces and thus complete the last two edges.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it’s done!<\/h2>\n

Here’s how it’s done! \u00a0the formula is lw, u2, lw, u2, f2, lw, f2, rw, u2, rw’, u2, lw2.<\/p>\n

Thankfully I took the time to upload a video of this taking place. \u00a0Again, \u00a0this isn’t fancy, \u00a0just a memo so i can remember how it’s done.<\/p>\n
