How to solve a 4x4 Rubik's Cube using the basic notation

If you thought you were having problems with the regular Rubik's Cube, then you haven't had problems yet. The 4x4. It will hurt you if you aren't careful. Protect yourself by knowing your notation and positions. Then, solve it.

List of algorithms:

(Video 1)

center comeplete: U2 r(2) U2 r'(2)

center switch: r2 U2 D2 l2

Solving centers is intuitive. It's not a formula you memorize, it's a skill you develop.

(Video 2)

edge swap: R U' R'

edge flip: F' L' F U'

last two edges: R2 u2 F L' U F' L u2 (he messed up in the video on this one)

Parity 1: r2 B2 U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 F2 r F2 l' B2 r2

Parity 2: r2 U2 r2 Uu2 r2 u2

T perm: R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F'

corner switch: (you already know this one) U R U' L' U R' U' L
