What are you supposed to do during F2L when the pair you see is a really bad one? Example setup (white down green front): R' B' U B U L' U L U' R Look at the red/blue pair—it's just awful. I see no good way of solving this. For pairs as bad as these, what's the general consensus? Just ignore...

I would absolutely LOVE a Zettaminx, but I cannot justify spending $800+ on one. If someone has a used one they'd be willing to give a hefty discount on, maybe then I could get my hands on it. Hopefully this isn't too unreasonable of an asking price.

Today I started learning CSP. I've found that with some cases, when the CS is flipped upside down, which solving algorithm is odd and which one is even changes, while some do not change. For example, the CS case in this image with the numbering scheme indicated (from Hashtag Cuber's website)...

This GitHub is supposed to give access to the browser-based Squanmate software: https://github.com/sp3ctum/squanmate But when I open the link in the ReadMe, I just see the page in the image below. How do I get the tool to work?

I've had my Giiker cube for a few years, and I've never actually set it up. I'd like to lube it, but I'm not sure it's safe. I'm not worried about any getting under the center caps where some little circuits are, but the ball core isn't closed off, so dunno what'll happen if some stuff gets in...

I just got a WRM V9 (UV coat, ball core) in the mail, and I can't find a good combination of spring and screw tensions. Furthermore, the cube feels too fast, and slice moves feel very unstable. I'm sure this is a great cube, but it needs setting up. Has anyone found good settings for it? What...

Are you learning an algorithm set like ZBLL, EG, or even just OLL? Post progress updates here! Personally, I’m learning full ZBLL. I’m done with Pi and I’m pretty comfortable with it. Today I’ll be finishing up the H set which is exciting :)

I'm trying to reconstruct the 5.91 3x3 PB single I just got. 90% sure I got the scramble correct, just can't seem to find the F2L solution I used to get the easy OLL to PLL skip. Scramble: R2 F' R2 L B2 U R L2 F B D2 F U2 B D2 B' L2 B L2 U' L' I know my cross solution was y D2 L F R', and I'm...

It's been a while since I've been actively involved within the speedsolving community. What notable WCA puzzles have released in the past year or so? I'm not looking to buy, just curious how the meta has changed. What are the best 3x3s? Is 6x6 hardware satisfactory now? Is there a square-1...

Back in 2019 or so, I bought some of the SCS Easter Eggs, and a couple of the eggs gave me discount codes. I realized I still have three lying around and I don't intend on using them, so I'll put them here for anyone to use. It's first-come-first -serve, and please let me know if you've used one...

I can only ship to the US. I can ship either via flat-rate boxes—$13 or $18 shipping, depending on the size of the purchase—or the smallest box I can find, whatever will be cheaper for your order (buyer pays shipping). If you're buying many cubes, we can negotiate a discount :) DM me for...

Price is $139 + shipping, shipping price depends on where you are (can't ship outside the US). Reasonable offers will be considered ;) The cube is in perfect condition aside from missing 3 center stickers (two yellow, one green). I can add photos if need be. Payment is by either PayPal or Google...

I got a Constrained Cube Ultimate from Puzzlcrate recently, and after messing around with it I decided to program a scrambler for it! Due to how this puzzle works, a real random-state scrambler was out of the question for me, so this just uses random turns—it keeps track of every possible move...

I got a QiYi Coin Pyraminx from Puzzlcrate (image link), and over the course of 3 days, I made a random-state scrambler for the puzzle! Link: https://onlinegdb.com/rJPKF2ZzP Press "Run" or the F9 key to run the program. Scramble notation: Uppercase letters are for corners, lowercase letters...

EDIT: I have enough people for this, thanks everyone! I want to try something small out, so I'd like a few volunteers! Specifically, I would like around 5 people who want to improve their 3x3 times, who average 12 to 30 seconds, and who are willing to give me good feedback about the thing I'm...

Speedcubing Solution is a limited-enrollment course by Jayden McNeill for 3x3 improvement. The second round of enrollment is open now, and it closes this Sunday. Since I'm starting to put more focus on speed again, I'm highly considering purchasing it. Has anybody here gone through the first...

The Coronavirus is having a big impact on society, and things have been feeling dark. To counter this, I want to put a little more positivity into the world! I will be giving away a brand new YJ YuLong V2 M 3x3. To enter the giveaway, simply reply with one good thing that's happened to you in...

HazelTrainer is a desktop ZBLL trainer application that I've been developing since mid-December 2019. Its goal is to be the most robust, most configurable, and most helpful ZBLL trainer out there. Notable features: - Top-down view of ZBLL cases - "Flagging" troublesome cases to make them appear...

Recently, a lot of threads have been hijacked with debates about which method one should use. It usually starts with a beginner asking for advice—then somebody responds with something along the lines of "use CFOP, it's the best". Other people chime in, either saying "no, use x method" or "use...

I was just looking at the Wikipedia page for Feliks, and apparently his full name is Feliks Aleksanders Zemdegs. I thought it was a bit funny that the last letter of each of these names is S, and that's how I came up with the idea for this thread? What are your initials (first + middle + last)...
