Cube have octahedral symmetry. The cube is a part of a sequence of rhombic polyhedra and tilings with ["n",3] Coxeter group symmetry. The cube can be seen as a rhombic hexahedron where the rhombi are squares. The cube is a square prism: As a trigonal trapezohedron, the cube is related to the hexagonal dihedral symmetry family. It is an element of 9 of 28 convex uniform honeycombs: It is also an element of five four-dimensional uniform polychora: The skeleton of the cube (the vertices and edges) form a graph, with 8 vertices, and 12 edges. It is a special case of
V-Cube 6 edges that show the same two colors. Once this is done, turning only the outer layers of the cube allows it to be solved like a 3×3×3 cube. However, certain positions that cannot be solved on a standard 3×3×3 cube may be reached. For instance, a single quartet of edges may be inverted, or the cube may appear to have an odd permutation (that is, two pieces must be swapped, which is not possible on the 3×3×3 cube). These situations are known as parity errors, and require special algorithms to be solved. Another similar approach to solving this cube is
