ITT I attempt to solve a 20x20x20 Rubik's cube

A little patience, a lot of free time, and a general understanding of big cubes. Been cubing for only about 3 or 4 months. And thanks. =)

P.S. Also iTunes and Fakku. =P

EDIT: Progress on the blue center:



EDIT: Blue center: Done.

This is where it starts to get a little tricky. Any move that I make other than twisting the outer layers will disturb the other centers, so I have to be careful to put the disturbed layers back to their original position. A little more difficult, but not so much that I'll get stuck.

thats seriously insane! i did one of those for an hour once and didnt get anywhere! is there some kind of method?

Props to Bio he is the master of the cube. I wish I could do that, but I don't know why.

Yo Bio, where'd you find that. I'd look for it myself, but it seems easier to just ask. I need to get back into cubing.

Yes. First, you find the centers, then you match up all the edges, and then it will basically work like a 3x3 with the centers being the middle piece, the matched edges working as one 3x3 edge, and the corners being the corner pieces. There's also something called parity which requires a set of really long algorithms to fix, and it gets more annoying the bigger the cube gets, so I hope I don't run across too many parity cases on this solve. <_<

And the 3x3 has its own various methods. I personally use the Fridrich method which is pretty much the most common method you'll see. Other popular methods are the Petrus method and the Roux method.



The program?

Awesome, awesome to the max.

No problem.

Finished the orange center.



Now for the fun part.



EDIT: Here's my progress on the last two centers so far. There's this algorithm I learned when I first tried solving a 7x7 that swapped one piece at a time, but I didn't understand how it worked and I was pretty bad with it. But now after staring at the 20x20 for about 25 minutes and experimenting a bit, I've mastered it. =D

As you might can tell, I'm working on the centers from the outside in.



EDIT: Woo! All 6 centers: Done!

Next up: Edge pairing.

For the sake of simplicity, I've decided to just do one edge at a time instead of trying to multitask. It's going a lot faster than I thought it would. I might actually be able to finish tonight. d(")d

Here's the first edge:



EDIT: Last two edges. I'm a little stuck now. xD



EDIT: Got it! Now I have a parity case. This is where the algorithms start showing up. Most of the algorithms I know are all muscle memory, so I'm going to write down the algorithms I'm going to need on a sheet of paper so I don't screw up halfway between them.



EDIT: The cube is now basically a 3x3. I'm on the home stretch!



Aaaaaannnnd...



WTF IT EXPLODED



*puts it back together*

Fuck, that took forever.

Sweet! That was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. +rep for having the skill and patience for doing that, I don't have the time for something that immersive.

*bows down and worships

I am not worthy!

EPIC!

Bravo.

ALL HAIL BIOHAZARD, THE CUBE MASTER.

+rep just for you!

Woah thats unreal! +rep to you!

holy jesus tap dancing christ

I never even solved one side on the regular one
I would have given up after the first 2 min

Woah... That really impressive Bio
Congrats on completing the thing.

Thanks, guys.

Good job man it would probably take me a while to solve an average Rubik cube lol.

Dude, that was intense!!!! +1 rep man, u deserve it!
