This puzzle was a curious one and I required a helpful tutorial to solve it<\/a>. Just some quick algorithms to help me solve this cool cube.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Return to a cube<\/b>
\n
First, you’ll get offset centers lined up with an edge piece sloped downward above it. Here, you move the center piece 45\u00b0 to the right, then perform a R, U\u2019, R\u2019 before returning the center. You then keep repeating this process. If you’re stuck with a flipped edge, just bring it down to make it a center and repeat.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Restore centers<\/b>
\n
Just prep centers. This will swap front and right centers. When you have a pair to exchange, move your center 45\u00b0 to the right, then R2 and return. Super easy.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Solve F2L<\/b>
\n
Solve the first two layers are you would on a normal 3×3.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Last-Layer Parities<\/b>
\n
If you get the classic 4×4 parity, you can bring down your front edge 45\u00b0 (an M slice). Then F2, an E (turn left as you look at it), F2, and return the E and return M’. <\/p>\n

This will mess up three layer 2 edges which can be fixed easily apparently. Place the proper piece on bottom\/back and whip out a: B2 M B2 M. This should fix it. <\/p>\n

If you get a parity where your final two edges are swapped, place the flipped edge in front. A M’ here is a 45\u00b0 upward.<\/p>\n

M\u2019, R, U, R\u2019, U\u2019
M\u2019, U, R, U\u2019, R\u2019<\/p>\n

I’m finding a problem where this doesn’t necessarily solve it all. But for now, it’s a good start. Perhaps I’ll edit this again in the future. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
