How to Solve Edge Piece Parity in the 4x4 Rubik's Revenge

TLDRThis video teaches you how to solve edge piece parity in the 4x4 Rubik's Revenge cube. Parity occurs when you have an unexpected T-shape or I-shape on the bottom layer. By following the simple algorithm demonstrated in the video, you can easily flip the edges and solve the cube.

Key insights

🧩Parity only occurs about half the time when solving a Rubik's cube

🔀Flipping one of the edge pieces creates a line shape, while flipping two creates an L-shape

The purpose of this video is to help you understand and memorize the parity solution algorithm

🔄The algorithm involves specific moves on the right and left sides, as well as the top and front faces

🔁The final steps involve aligning colors and performing specific moves to solve the edges
