2^4 is an oddball I guess, I’m not sure whether you can do edge turns or not, corner turns are also odd, I see. And update: you wrote "12 years old?? Well I certainly encourage you to keep trying because

Thanks, I solved ALL the 2-coloured pieces and put 2 3-coloured pieces in the right place! YAYYYYYYYYYY! I’m so happy I’ll call in the news! (actually no)
