    The document provides instructions for solving a 5x5x5 Rubik's Cube, known as a Professor Cube. It outlines a three phase approach: 1) solve the centers of each face, 2) pair up the edges using algorithms, 3) solve the final cube as a 3x3x3 cube. The Professor Cube has stationary center pieces and no parity issues like a 4x4x4 cube, making it slightly easier to solve.

    Professor Cube (also known as 5x5x5 Rubik's Cube) Each face of the Professor Cube has a centre piece

    which never moves, just like the ordinary 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube. These can be used as a fixed reference point to show what colour each face should be. This makes the Professor Cube slightly easier than the 4x4x4 Cube. You will also not meet the parity error problems (as faced by the 4x4x4 Cube) at the last stage of solving. Phase 1: Solve the centres 1. Let's say that the upper centre piece is red. Apply either of the following algorithms to move centre red pieces to the upper face:

    2.

    Repeat until the centres of all six faces are solved.

    Phase 2: Pair up the edges 1. Look at the unmatched edge piece at the front-upper-centre position. Find the edge piece with the same colour and use face moves (not slice moves, so as not to disturb the centre cubies and the completed paired edges) to move it to the front-down-right position. 2. Now look at the edge piece at the front-upper-right position. Find the middle edge piece with the same colour and use face moves to move it to the front-right-middle position. Then apply the following algorithm to bring the two pairs of edge pieces next to each other:

    3. Sometime it is impossible to pre-position 2 pairs of unmatched edges as required above. Then just position 2 edges pieces with the same colour as follows and bring them together:

    4.

    If the following situation occurs, you can apply the following algorithm:

    5.

    Repeat until all 12 edge pairs have been matched.

    Phase 3: Solve the cube 1. Solve the cube using any method for the 3x3x3 cube.
