Part 2a Edge Pairing
Enjoy
Okay, edge pairing. I am putting my guitar right now. Little things you do not know when you watch the videos. Anyway, okay here we go. The first thing you are going to need to do is you are going to look for two of the same pairs. So we have two. You can have white to orange and then work on two and two. You will just notice, look if we turn your top row here, you are going to meet one on the middle here. If this is your top row here and you have one in a middle left here. So, what you need to do is you move this top row, right here so that you have your middle left because now you compare them. And you got yourself a pair already.
So, after you got them paired, what you need to do is make sure that the dead spot here or anywhere on this side and you pair them. Move this over to this side, move one to three that is out there, bring it back and bring them down and then you paired it over here safely while you go to the next one which I am going to find right here. Orange, white, orange white. Just move them together and make sure they are on the same face. We will take this to the camera. Okay anyway, so you got your orange on top from the bottom, to the middle left and the right. If you would put those two together, you have a pair.
So next, you just go ahead and do that, do that pair. Move it to the side here and then bring the other pair up and then let me know the pair bring it like that slide or that pair into the position and bring it back that or put it back. Next, you look for the next edge pair which I see is not here. But it is like drawn here, I see that my next one closest that is most visible as my white and blue. The background is cute. See the other white-blue here. Now, bring that to the front. But now, you probably got—we got them on the same side. Here is an algorithm I used, it works intuitive for me now but it should be intuitive but it is really easy algorithm. It is down—
[Demo]
I am up, and then you are down. And now I pair them so that they could match.
So, you start out this, it will be down, right, up. Absolutely, this bring this little bottom right back in the main UI background you got there. And then you just go ahead and do the same thing, pair them together and you will move them out of the way and place them with the dead slot, so that when you move them back you bring these, set it back together, they have now nice parity of. The next is, right here. I can see my blue and yellow; they are bright colors blue and yellow. Bring them together and we have tim tam. It does not matter if it is on the left or the right, the same algorithm will work and orient them in the right way, bring the other up and then bring that red up, bring it to the left, bring that dead slot in place of it, bring it back, bring them down and you got yourself there. I put them back the wrong way but there you go. So make you put your centers the right way and the so rest of the cube.
Next I see just green, orange, bring this around and then let me get the green one pretty simple. Make sure they are up from each other, opposite colors so that when you put together, they match up. Next one, you bring this to the side, bring the dead slot into where your old pairs used to be and bring them back. You see, I am not good at looking at edge pairing. White, red, white, red are bounded together, put them together, move them to the left, that is the way they will go to. Bringing the dead pairs in and then put them back up. I got lucky to have paired two of the three. That was a two down which I can show you here.
And then you get here, okay here is two --. You find your color here and you see this color here also. You bring that, you orient it, so that when you bring it up the pair, but what you are going want to do, is this is a green, yellow piece. What you want to do is you want to replace this one with the green, yellow piece. You should bring this over here and then you replace it with the green, yellow piece which will be on either side, you just have to look for it. See, I will show you how I did it.
Okay, green, yellow piece is on the left middle. This is the green, yellow piece which on the right middle so that is going to work up perfectly. So, what I do now is I will bring this up, pair it. Bring that green piece over here, so that when I want to bring it down I have a second pair because I do not know, it is hard to explain. I do not know, it is hard to explain this because I am still not too great at it but it is very intuitive, so it is kind of hard to explain intuition now, intuitions more something that you learn on your own.
Here is the case where all my edges here are paired and all my edges here are paired so that if I was to bring these two together and then move them and bring them back and then put those in place and bring them, I have messed up these pair, you do not want to do that. So, what you are going to do is you look on these pairs. These ones are the ones that you are pairing. So, the only one that you can put in place to save is this one here. What we are going to do is you are going up it from the back, so that it is on the side, Let me bring at the sides. So now it is in the sides. So whenever you go to pair up this edge here, bring it to the right. Now, you have itself to put it in and then that should be your last edge right there, that I got all mine done. That is my method. I hardly ever run into parity doing that way because I always like pairing them going left, dead slot, bring them back and then go down. Hardly learning the parity.
Anyway, this will be the type of cube that you are going to get from the -- You can pull it apart, really far. Slip off my hands, just pulled it too hard. Yes, they are really loose. I am very good for one handed cubing.
[Demo]
You know it is amazing but if you get into the contest, I will give you one of these. Check my other videos for the contest.
[Demo]
That is it guys. Do the contest and you will get one of this. This is actually the cube that I bought for the contest. You can tell brand new stickers. I am already in the process of working it in and so far, it is about half way in. Still not as lose so you cannot pull them too far.
[Demo]
So, if you guys wanted the cube here or maybe even one of these, do the contest.
