Hey -- sorry to be sending so many emails, but I realized that if my edges are at least oriented properly, I can solve them... the only problem I have is when they are rotated. So my real question (my initial one) is how do I rotate edge pieces? Can it be done without affecting the rest of the puzzle, or should the edges not be done last? Thanks

What I was talking about is http://www.geocities.com/ladartfrog/untitled.jpg Also -- I encountered another pattern (top layer looks like an H) which took me a while to solve.. anyone know an easier method to solve that? In case it helps, I use the following algorithms for the last layer: F U R U' R' F' (to solve the cross) F R U R' U' F' (to solve the cross) L' U' L U' L' U2 L U2 ( rotate 3 corners) F2 U R' L F2 R L' U F2 (edge switch) F2 U' R' L F2 R L' U' F2 (edge switch) Maybe there is a site with a big list of solutions for this? I've looked but can't find anything good. thanks David David Barr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: What puzzle are you tring to solve? 3x3x3, 4x4x4, 5x5x5? What method are you using to solve? When you are trying to solve these middle pieces, are all the other pieces on the cube solved? If you are trying to swap center pieces of two adjacent faces on a 4x4x4 or 5x5x5 without messing up anything else, you can use this sequence: r' D l D' r D l' D' In this case, lower case letters means to turn the inner slice that is adjacent to the named face.
