SuperAntonioVivaldi has some good videos but nothing helps explain parity quite as well. It is probably worth surfing around the Twisty Puzzles forum. They may have done old posts and also may be able to point you to good explanatory videos elsewhere.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-61205188990282026122019-03-12T18:10:31.819+00:002019-03-12T18:10:31.819+00:00I'm determined to figure out parity on my own,...I'm determined to figure out parity on my own, I hate learning others algs as I feel doing so ruins the puzzle aspect of twisty puzzles. <br /><br />The link to "Rhines" site seems to be dead.

Around here you can buy them at Target for $12.<br /><br />Since the Void Cube has no centers, it is like solving a normal 3x3x3 ignoring the centers.

Rather than learn an algorithm the best thing is to understand the cause of the parity and move to repair it from 1st principles. I suspect that the issue is caused by the equatorial centres being positioned 1 space away from where they should be. So I suspect that sliding the equator clockwise by one and resolving the edges will fix it.<br />I might put this in to part 2Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-60358584741860706672014-01-28T01:17:56.205+00:002014-01-28T01:17:56.205+00:00To summarize your post with an anagram: I + party ...To summarize your post with an anagram: I + party = parity<br /><br />I searched the internet high and low for a simple sequence to fix the parity problem on the Void Cube.
