Description : This is the first step 1 and part 1 of my tutorial on how to solve a 5x5 5x5x5 Rubik's Cube Professor. The second part covers how to finish the remaining 4 centers. I have placed the link to the second part in the VIDEO RESPONSES section for THIS video.

This part introduces new component descriptions and concepts for solving the 5x5 Rubik's Professor, since there are many more pieces than a regular cube and also more than a 4x4. However, solving the 5x5 is VERY similar to the 4x4, so you should not have that much difficulty getting adjusted to having more edges and center pieces.
Notation Review/Examples:
R = Outer Right face clockwise
u = inner Up face clockwise
(Ll)' = Both Outer and Inner left faces
counter-clockwise
(Rr)2 = Both Outer and Inner Right
faces 180 degrees
The main pieces that make up the center 3x3 block are (what I call them):
-Middle Center Piece (the axis piece or middlemost part of each side). This color of this piece designates the color to the side it is on. There is only one per side.
- Side/Edge Center Pieces - These basically flank the middle center piece, forming what looks like a cross when they are aligned properly next to the middle center piece. There are four of these pieces per side.
- Corner Center Pieces - these pieces are on the 'corners' of the 3x3 center block. There are also four of these pieces as well.
What we will be doing this part of the centers (part 1) is positioning/placing the first two centers of the 5x5 cube. I use white for my bottom and yellow for my top, solving the white center first. To create the centers, we will be making 2x1 blocks (as we did in the 4x4) and joining three of them together to form a 2x3 block. We will then be joining a 3x1 block to that 2x3 block to form the 3x3 center.
To make the 2x1 blocks, we will first need to join an edge center piece with the middle center piece to form the first 2x1 block. The remaining two 2x1 blocks will then be formed by matching a corner center piece with an edge center piece
