DIRECTIONS FOR SOLVING THE 5x5x5 (Professor) CUBE
These instructions can be used to solve a 5x5x5 cube, also known as the professor cube due to its difficulty. These directions are a graphical version of those given by Jacob Davenport. I would appreciate any and all feedback or questions about the instructions; please see the end of this page for the e-mail address.
Purchasing Puzzles: If you are having troubles finding stores that sell cubes and similar puzzles, I have a list of on-line sites that may have what you're looking for.

My directions for Solving the Rubik's Cube (3x3x3) - these also apply to the 2x2x2 See Denny's solution for solving the 3x3x3 cube. This is a more detailed solution for the 3x3 than the one I provide (mirrored from the now missing http://www.calormen.com /vpm/puzzlesolutions/rubikscube/) See Denny's solution for solving the 4x4x4 cube (mirrored from the now missing http://www.calormen.com/vpm/puzzlesolutions/revenge/) My directions for Solving the Square 1 My directions for Solving the Pyramix (Pyramid)
As a preview, the steps are: 1. Solve the top points and crosses 2. Solve the bottom points 3. Solve the remaining points (on the sides) 4. Complete the top and bottom crosses 5. Complete the remaining crosses (on the sides) 6. Associate wings with their appropriate edge pieces 7. Solve the 3x3x3
KEY TO SYMBOLS FOR THE MOVES
The figures in this document represent a sample cube. Although the colors on your personal cube may be different than the figures, I feel that the colored figures will still be helpful in solving the cube. I would suggest matching as many colors on your cube as possible to the figures, then making mental notes about which colors correspond between your cube The diagrams show all six sides of the cube by pretending that mirrors are being held up so that you may see the "hidden" sides.
