If you messed up during a solve on this cube, you literally have to go back to square 1 ;)

There is only 1 way around the parity... Scramble it again and start over and pray you don't get parity again.

[@Julio974]

Actually, the parity algorithm is easier that I thought

The best way to learn parity is to set it as your phone password, then eventually you'll have accidentally memorised it!! :)

What if you forget it

[@neung4043]

Ummmmm good Idea, but never let the other cuber touch your phone 😂😂😂

[@cubiks2.0]

I will do that

[@cubiks2.0]

I can't because the password can only be a max of 16 characters

[@wesjay7780]

I had the parity with the long algorithm, and when you first said it was long, I laughed and thought you were joking, and then 5 secs later I realized you were serious. In the middle of the algorithm I messed up, and now I have to start over. I want to cry now...

Thank you so much. That really helped. I have only solved it twice by myself and I wrote everything down now I don’t have to even look at the paper. I have always came to you for your tutorials I now have 48 cubes and can solve 44 of them. You even showed me how to solve 2 by 2 through 5 by 5 and now I am sub 40 seconds of 3x3. That isn’t that fast but I still use beginners method. I am thinking about watching your cfop video too! You are awesome. Keep doing what you do. And thanks to whoever read all of this.

[@navdeepbanks190]

I was so happy that I made it all the way to the parity algorithm...

[@0987654a5]

The parity alg isn't so bad, especially considering the first half of it is an alg you already use in previous parts. It's conparable to the 4x4 OLL parity alg or the 5x5 middle edge flip alg.

[@squidkidyt1701]

Thanks z3! I just got a square1 yesterday and this tutorial really helped. You can also solve parity by undoing cube shape and slicing the 4s left if the slice.
