Denny's solution for solving the Rubik's Revenge (4x4x4 cube)


SIDE EDGES

We will start with Row Two and then complete Row Three.

Before we start, rotate your cube sideways so that it matches the image below. You will probably need to spin the second row (now seen as column two) so that you can position the first edge piece - the Green/Blue Edge.


ONE DOWN, THREE TO GO...

Spin the third column until you can position the next piece (Green/White) next to the Green/Blue piece as shown. This piece actually belongs below the Green/Blue piece (also shown) and this following procedure will move it there.


PROBLEMS? - If you can not find the second piece on Row Three, perform this move, and look again.


TWO DOWN, TWO TO GO...

Spin the third column until you can position the next piece (White/Yellow) next to the White/Green piece as shown. This piece actually belongs below the White/Green piece (also shown) and this following procedure will move it there.


PROBLEMS? - If you can not find the third piece on Row Three, perform this move, and look again.


THREE DOWN, ONE TO GO...

Spin the third column until you can position the last piece (Yellow/Blue) next to the Yellow/White piece as shown. This piece actually belongs below the Yellow/Blue piece (also shown) and this following procedure will move it there.



That's it, the Edges on the Second Row are complete!

THIRD ROW EDGES

To start the Third Row, position your cube as shown and line up the White/Yellow edge so it is in place.

Now rotate the entire cube backwards until the Blue Side is up.

If you examine the three remaining edges you will find that:


IF TWO ARE OUT OF PLACE

Match your situation to the two samples below. The procedure following each will complete all of the edges for you.



You should now be done and can proceed to the Centers.



You should now be done and can proceed to the Centers.

IF THREE ARE OUT OF PLACE

Match your situation to the sample below. The following procedure will complete all of the edges for you.



You should now be done and can proceed to the Centers.
