How To: Solve 4x4 orientation parity intuitively

[@KTFG]

Great video and explanation. I linked it in my tutorial and your world record times make a cameo appearance at 10 second mark. After seeing this video I looked in a old speed solving book and sure enough, 2004 & 2005.

[@oooRaGe]

I can finally wrap my head around parity issues and think beyond rote algorithms. I can't THANK YOU enough!

[@jacusjoe]

Why does this have so many dislikes? Parity has been described perfectly here. The only thing I'd say could make this better, would be to explain how you solved it at the end without messing up the rest of the cube. I can see that those are edge commutators, and I was able to do that as well, since all I needed was the info of how I got into parity and how to get out of it. But I doubt that many people who stop by this video would already know it, so that might have been helpful. Either way, thanks a lot for the great explanation, Chris! Cheers, and have a nice day!

[@ladyphay]

The reason why this has so many dislikes is at 10:30 he doesn't slow down the last solve and it makes it very difficult to follow along with his instructions. now for an experience solver this is not a problem but for someone who is learning to solve you don't get to really see the finger tricks. now you have to use intuitive thinking and for someone who is new to solving this is actually feeling pretty advanced.

I’m watching this video after KZbin removed the dislike button😂 i couldn’t see the dislike ratio and I too felt he was fast at end

[@omarandresriveraortiz7488]

Because they wanted the algorithm not there "parity intuition technique". The want to memorize not understand

[@daphneblake7889]

This was a perfect tutorial but was made useless when you got careless when doing the edges. I can't follow along even at 0.25x playback

[@berloma]

Thank you very much. Your are very fast! Of course you were a champion... I can solve it but it takes ages compared to you. I watched in slow motion in order to grab the swap of the borders without affecting the centers or the corners: 2r 2B r 2F r' 2B r 2F r 👌

[@megauser8512]

Nice, cuz I did too, but then the last edges were solved by: l 2F l' 2B l 2F l' 2B

[@yishnir]

This was a fantastic video. Firstly, I really like understanding how the different problem cases occur, so this was wonderful. I'm going to have to spend a while pulling out all the algorithms you used to move specific parts without messing up the rest of the cube. I look forward to eventually being able to deliberately 'create' and then 'undo' different parity cases, as you demonstrated here. Thanks for the effort you put into sharing your knowledge.

[@irfanubaide]

Thank you bro, if this vid wasn’t there I would have quit 4x4x4 cuz every other KZbinrs do fast And I hope you could make a everyone a smile and give a a smile by subscribing you

[@stephenmillett8174]

Hi, just a request... as in other comments on this video, could you show more slowly what you did in the last little bit where you solved the edges once you had fixed the parity issue? Your intuitive explanation made sense, that was great, but then got lost what to fo from there without messing up the cube again. Would be very helpful to me, and I'm sure to others too 👍🙂

[@QBAndo]

Hi, you are Chris Hardwick, right? I was preparing a video in my KZbin Channel (in Spanish) talking about why the different "parity" cases happen in 4x4 and 4x4 shapemods (like axis, bipyramid, trajber octahedron, ... and I liked the way you restore the centers after the inner slice 90 degree turn to fix "OLL parity" so I took it for my video. I have added a link to this video in my description. It's not yet public but I will be, later this week. Regards

[@SpeedCuberGuy]

QBAndo Yes I am, and thanks for the shout out! I like this approach for beginners and also for those who want to understand how parity works. I agree that an approach like this should work well for 4x4 shapemods too!

[@Spongman]

huh. now i understand it. so much simpler than all those "the intuitive way is to remember this 25 move algo..." jokers.

[@mosesongera7638]

Thank you sooo much..this has been my greatest challenge but today i solved it..thanks again

[@idkmaxwoof2193]

[@zxls422]

i love dis man

[@Abinashdash17]

I didnt really understood till now how this parity shows of. After watching this video, I can create and solve the orientation parity easily. Thanks...

[@tukansrukan1]

Very nice! I used to hate 4x4x4 because I didn't want to memorize parity algorithm, thus I would just scramble the cube and solve it until I reached no parity case... I wonder, do you have a trick for the corner parity as well?

[@DakshSahni]

Just remember 2R2 U2 2R2 Uw2 2R2 Uw2 it's not thaaat hard

[@TraceguyRune]

Corner Parity eaquires a few easy af intuitive moves.

[@paulchow611]

Thank you~ That's what im looking for. It's understanding :D

[@TaroLeButcher]

U are a genius Chris! Thank u for this!! I love understanding the cube but I cud never understand parity.. I thought I'd never be able to understand it and I'm so grateful for this video!! Thank u!!!!

[@cubing-for-life194]

why is this video so underated

[@Mo-dl3os]

Great Video!

[@henryedwards840]

Show us how you fix the edges

[@NeveRB4]

@10:19 how do you do that plz help me

[@MortezaParkook]

Hi, the way I solve my 3x3 rubic’s cube (algorithm-less), sometimes I end up with a fully done cube, except one inverted edge, just like the one on your 4x4 cube video. Can you invert only one edge of a fully done 3x3 cube without messing up the other pieces please? So I can reverse fix it when it happens.

[@schreiermichael98]

That's impossible on a normal 3x3. When one edge is flipped, another one is flipped too.

[@helloitsokyrago]

@@schreiermichael98 if the inverted edge error come in 3×3 then its flipped , because this error dont occur in 3×3

[@crudeoil5391]

That's impossible so take out the piece and reinsert because it impossible to fix it without taking it out

[@MortezaParkook]

@@schreiermichael98 nope, if I find some time I will make a video and show you how it happens and how I solve it which is not a fast solution ;)

[@samus88]

It's matemathically impossible to flip a single edge without litearlly taking the piece out and flipping it manually. Stop lying.

[@blindfoldchess7762]

Nice yo

[@NeveRB4]

How do I fix the other edges from here plz help

[@alexf0101]

Or use commutators to finish :)

[@Gorp9940]

At 10:22 you were going too fast even with 0.25 speed now my cube is scrambled again

[@ChrisCross2014]

I've solved a 4x4 maybe 3x without a parity ,but when I do get a parity, 90% of the time it,s this one.

[@guilhermecaiado5384]

Most people are just monkeys repeating a trained pattern, but when a person comes and explain the concept to people understand, they dislike it. I'm just losing hope on humanity.

[@christydavenport3273]

Is there a way to make a method to not come across this case

[@apersonontheinternet6154]

No

[@ChristelleSanchez-nt8xh]

Trop d'explication pour rien,montre les mouvements doucement en écrivant les formules si vous voulez aider

[@anudevdevarajan6493]

I have solved 4x4 for several years and more than 4000 times. Still I didn't faced these kind of parity errors 🙄

[@ChrisCross2014]

I ,ve solve for a week and I,ll get a parity 90% of the time.

[@TraceguyRune]

Because you're lying. You should see parity a minimum of 75% if the time you solve the cube.
