Lear how to solve the 4 by 4 rubiks cube as easy as tying a shoe. just not as fastlol
you should already know how to solve the Rubik's 3 by 3 before learning tosolve the 4 by 4 but if you don't that's ok it will just take a lot longer to grasp.

Step 1: Terminoligy
this step will show you how i will refer to the cube and how to do the specificmoves you must do to complete it.

How to solve a 4 by 4 by 4rubik's cube(http://www.instructables.com/id/HowHow to solve a Rubikscube(http://www.instructables.com/id/HowtosolveaRubickscube/?utm_source=pm&utm_medium=relatedSudoKube Rubik'sSudoku Cube(http://www.instructables.com/id/SudoKube/?utm_source=pm&utm_medium=relatedinstructables&utm_campaign=related_test)Rubik's Cube 3x3Superflip(http://www.instructables.com/id/RubiksCube3x3Superflip/?utm_source=pm&utm_medium=related4x4x4 Rubiks CubeOpposite Side Flowers(http://www.instructables.com/id/4x4x4RubiksCubeOppositeSideFlowers/?
Centers are very important ,yet so simple to quad up.
There is basic just this one move to finish this step you can do the same movebackwards if the pieces are in a different order. Like this r' u' r that's if they'reswitched. and if you have a piece on the back of the cube and you are trying toget it to the front just do this. l B' l
so just do that a bunch of times until you have every side together.
Step 3: Are your centers in the right places?
this is the order the colors should be in just so long as you have a normalRubik's cube.
Get BLUE on the top. then look down on one of the sides you should see Yellowthen looking to the left of you yellow should see RED more to the left is WHITEmore to the left is ORANGE than on the bottom should be GREEN. I like toremember the order by saying blue mustard blood milk oranges lettuce.
If they are not in that order you will have to do this move to get them in the rightplace.
picture will show you how to switch them. odds are it wont only be one thatneeds to be switched some times you might need to move al of them but if youpay attention while you make the position of the centers that will help.
ok so you have some off brand cube and that's not the right order. well look atthe corners they will show you the way.
Step 4: Edge pairing
(/file/FG94GZOFOWZPOHI)
all most done!
pretty simple the only thing you have to look out for is if the top layer is pairedup.
you will have to find the pieces you need. and put them in the right places this ishow it has to be arranged.
So what happens if I don have 3 left to pair up? you might ask.go to the last step called special moves you have a common error that happensonly on the 4 by 4 making it a lot harder to solve with out a guide.
Step 5: Solve it!
ok now that you have all the edges paired and the centers quaded up.
It's now time to solve it! Since you wont be turning the mid slices for the solvingyou can just pretend that it's a 3 by 3 isn't that neat. so since I'm lazy and don't

Each one takes a lot of turns to complete.
picture 1 is the one you need to do from edge pairing this one is the mostfrequent.how to fix it hold it just like in the picture.R U' l' U l' U l' U l' U l' U R' U l U' R U l U' R' U l U' l
picture 2 you will figure you need to do it during the top cross. how to fix it hold just like in the pictureL d R d R d' L u' B u B u' B R B r' B' R B r B
picture 3 this one you will figure out you have it right at the end end of the solve.to fix it hold just like in the picture
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING THE SPECIAL MOVES THEY MAKE ITVERY EASY TO WREAK THE WHOLE CUBE!!!!! follow them carefully...
Yay my instructable is done! I'm so happy! I hope that you all like myInstructable and find it easy to follow point things out that i need to specify more.
Step 7: How to make your friends freak.
If your friends have never touched a rubiks cube this is the best way to freakthem out.
Give them the 4 by 4 and tell them you just got it. ask them how far along theycan get it and then when they fail Epicly take it from them try yourself and beatthem. betting would be col too.
I know there are some people in this world that haven't seen tutorials on youtubeso some people don't know how.

it doesn't solve for edge parities. Pleas edit to help with that would help me alot. Cool page though.

the_burrito_master: There is an easier algorithm than the first one you have instep 6. It's going to be on my 5x5 tutorial, but you need to put the two cubiesyou are going to switch on the same layer. Then, in your notation, it's: (Ll)' T2(Ll)' T2 F2 (Ll)' F2 (Rr) T2 (Rr)' T2 (Ll)2 Official notation: (Ll)' U2 (Ll)' U2 F2(Ll)' F2 (Rr) U2 (Rr)' U2 (Ll)2
andyinnie (/member/andyinnie/) Does Not Compute
ok. Scratch what i just said. It doesnt work and messed up the edges inthe back of the top layer.
andyinnie (/member/andyinnie/) Does Not Compute
didn't work for me... :/ But at least it didnt mess up the entire cube!
alex sindledecker (/member/alex+sindledecker/)
What does the forward slash mean on picture 1?
mutley1 (/member/mutley1/)
What is meant when a letter in in italics? (ie slanted)
Iz D. (/member/Iz+D./)
i have a question regarding notation. in your picture it shows B and b standingfor the lower half slices, but usually B and b stand for the back slices. i am justwondering if you meant D and d for down...
AnnaY1 (/member/AnnaY1/) Iz D.
In a 3x3 cube, that is the case. But in a 4x4, an uppercase letter, like B,would mean the layer farthest to the back. A lowercase letter like b,would mean the second layer farthest to the back. I hope this helps.
chipperilla (/member/chipperilla/)
all of the steps i tried to follow and i am failing miserably. i can get the centersand the 8 complete centers. but i dont know what to do to solve the othermiddle edges without messing it up. what do i need to do?
dkp0629 (/member/dkp0629/)
BTW, on the second pic, which color is the front face?
the_burrito_master (/member/the_burrito_master/) (author) dkp0629
It's yellow.... and it can be any color. I just chosethat to be the front but you have to have the partsthat need to be fixed in the exact spots they are inthe pics.
dkp0629 (/member/dkp0629/)
Your steps for the second picture doesnt work, are you sure it is correct?

My record for the original rubik cube is 1 minute 40 seconds. I brought it toschool and I amaze everyone I see except for the kid in my first period classwho can solve it too.
Danielguo326 (/member/Danielguo326/) Electroinnovation
I have a record of 50, but my friend has one of 20. Ican't believe it, but I saw him do it. He said his olland pll were fail. : o
tanmanknex (/member/tanmanknex/) Electroinnovation
my record was 40 sec. my record now in the lastweek is 55 sec.
tanmanknex (/member/tanmanknex/) tanmanknex
correction, 1 min, 10 sec. that's really frustrating for me...
duckythescientist (/member/duckythescientist/) tanmanknex
W00T 1 minute 30 seconds for me!!! I am by nomeans a speedcuber, but I do ok for myself!!!
tanmanknex (/member/tanmanknex/) duckythescientist
Good job! Just keep working at it, and maybe lookup more algorithms online and you'll see yourspeeds shoot up! Or should I say down? Lol. ;D
Cubie2 (/member/Cubie2/) tanmanknex
Bet I could beat you... Me and you cubeoff Between Spanish andBiology. after Christmas break. :P :D
Cubie2 (/member/Cubie2/) tanmanknex
Wait tanman did you fix yours? I thought it was broken.
Cubie2 (/member/Cubie2/) Cubie2
Oh never mind this was back in June and August. :P I want a mirrorcube like you! that thing is wicked awesome!
prosper58 (/member/prosper58/) tanmanknex
Mine is 48 seconds. Since I'm from an area where everyone is easilyamused, I 'm already famous at my school for being able to solve it.The other day I was solving it and four teachers were just staring thewhole time.

all i can say is... SO AMAZING!!!!

Looks like fun. I was able to solve the original one in like 7 minutes.
the_burrito_master (/member/the_burrito_master/) (author) JFive
yeah it is. i can solve the 3 by 3 on average 2minutes some times like 1 minute and 10 seconds.
Does Not Compute (/member/Does+Not+Compute/)
Oh yea, I use a different technique than you do, so I might make that aninstructable. You use the reduction method, and I don't know what my methodis called.
the_burrito_master (/member/the_burrito_master/) (author) Does NotCompute
How much differently can you solve it? i just solve it like a 3 by 3.
Does Not Compute (/member/Does+Not+Compute/) the_burrito_master
I start by getting a white center, then the yellowcenter. I then solve the white and yellow sides.After this, I solve the outer edges/wedges. Afterthis, I have to just re align the center pieces. I thenhave it done, and it takes less time than doing thespecial moves. I only need to use the samealgorithm to align all the centers. It's just how thealignment is, and I will make instructions thisweekend.
the_burrito_master (/member/the_burrito_master/) (author) Does NotCompute
cool sounds very foreign to me.
Does Not Compute (/member/Does+Not+Compute/) the_burrito_master
It was foreign to me when I got my cube, and it issomewhat effective. You can solve a frame then fillcenters, or get opposite centers, and then fill in theremaining centers after everything is aligned on theedge. It's kind of wierd
the_burrito_master (/member/the_burrito_master/) (author) Does NotCompute
yeah that avoids the special moves right? I heard of that I tried i oncebut failed. (with out knowing what to do)
The Jamalam (/member/The+Jamalam/)
Nice just 1 question. WHERE DO YOU GET THESE!
the_burrito_master (/member/the_burrito_master/) (author) The Jamalam
Ebay, Amazon ,Kmart Wall mart almost mostanywhere. I also have a 5 by 5 and I solved it 4times now.
Does Not Compute (/member/Does+Not+Compute/) the_burrito_master
5x5 is slightly easier than 4x4. I got my 4x4 lastyear, and two 5x5s this year. It takes about 10minutes to solve the 5x5 (I just got one for

christmas). I'm going to make a guide, using myRubiks 5x5, and then use my Eastsheen for speed.
the_burrito_master (/member/the_burrito_master/) (author) Does NotCompute
Oh man I was going to do the 5 by 5 instructable. :( yeah me too I lovehow I can solve it almost faster than the 4 by 4. I have a little troublewith the centers sometimes. pssst... I don't know the special moves forthe 4by 4 I just pop out the peaces wen I get them and don't want tolook them up.
Does Not Compute (/member/Does+Not+Compute/) the_burrito_master
Although my 4x4 solution is different, I'm guessingyour method in 5x5 is the same as the 4x4? I gotmine at christmas, and I'm already down to 7minutes. Thats using beginner method for the 3x3style solve. By the way, learning the moves is moreimpressive than popping out centers. Eastsheen isgood for speed, but rubiks is good for quality andlow light. What program is that rendered in? Myinstructable only used 1 virtual cube photo, and ithas a photo of me solving it. It'll be up by the end ofthe day, I think.
the_burrito_master (/member/the_burrito_master/) (author) Does NotCompute
the program is true space 6.6. yeah it's about the same. wow that's fastafter I learn the special moves for the 5x5 I'll be able to do it in around10 mins.
