2. If you don't know how to do f2l on the 3^3, check it here: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGeTtD4tB5w] This step is solved in rings of four, meaning first you solve the four equator edges (XY plane,) then rotate an unsolved ring to the equator and solve that. Lastly, you rotate another unsolved ring to the equator and solve. <br>
 
−
3. This step is kinda annoying. Once you get an edge-corner pair (doesn't have to be solved) on the top cell, you solve by orienting the edge then doing an slice turn to match the edge with the corner, moving the solved pair away then reversing the slice turn. Also can be expressed as x y x' where x is the slice setup and y is the "moving away" turn. After that you do another x y x' but with x being a "call setup" and y being a 3-cycle insertion (A Perm.) I might as well pass an example below. <br>

4. This is easy. Just use the alg used on the n^3 to orient the top cross (F R U R' U' F' or something like that)<br>

5. Orient the edges by doing x y x', where x is a few setup moves and y a corner OLL alg. if only one edge is unorientated use Roice method. <br>

Roice Method

This method is the 4D version of the "ultimate solution for the rubik's cube's.
check it out here: [1]

Notation and 2-gen "3^3" moves

Notation is similar to that of the 3^3. There are 8 cells, UDFBRL and AK, with K being the hidden (nearer) cell and A the farther cell.
Each cell has 6 ways to rotate, UDFBRL.
The cell to be rotated is first stated, followed by the rotation. ex. RR,AF,RR,AF',RR'. For general moves, use - (for blank, this is used for writing move subsets)
<RR,A-> moves mean to only use RR and A moves. This method is used by Matthew Sheerin.

Method

1. Make a cross by solving 8 2C pieces on the far cell.
2. Fill in F2L slots by joining F2L pairs (2C/3C) together and inserting them into their respective slots.
3. Fill in S2L slots. This is done by moving a 3C piece and its respective 4C piece onto the farthest cell (i.e. the last layer). Then, OLL algorithms are used to orient the pieces so that they can be joined using <RR, A-> moves. They are then inserted by using more <RR, A-> moves.
4. Orient the LL 2C and 3C using OLL algorithms. Try to get as many corners oriented as possible as well. Setup moves are highly recommended here.
5. Permute the 2C of the LL using U-perms.
6. Solve the LL like a 3^3 by using <RR,A-> moves.
7. If the "top face" of the LL is 180 degrees off from the rest of the puzzle, use the <RR,A-> variant of the supercube centers algorithm (R U R' U five times).
