Is there a way to make all sides of a solved Rubik's Revenge cube be checkerboard? If you could, please show how with this style of notation: example r ² B ² U ² l U ² r ' U ² r U ² F ² r F ² l ' B ² r ². Many thanks! Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 06:58, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
An odd thing is that with a normal 3x3x3 Rubik's cube, one can easily checkerboard the whole thing. For some reason this doesn't work with Rubik's Revenge (4x4x4). It should because once the edges and center 4 are matched in colour, the 4x4x4 essentially becomes a 3x3x3. Mystifying! Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 18:40, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
I watched through the following Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnZWBq3C4Rs and given that someone who appears to be a very experienced cuber (or at least owns more types of these cubes that I'd ever seen before (up to 7x7x7, 2x3x3, 2x2x3,1x3x3 and a gear cube) and when he makes checkerboards for the even cubes it is only on four sides, I doubt it is possible. (Certainly not proof though) Naraht ( talk) 19:11, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

I am still having trouble understanding, but the bottom line is what matters: I cannot be done. Fair enough. Many thanks to all for the thoughtful feedback. I am grateful. Best wishes and happy cubing! Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 06:40, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
