i used cubetimer for a long time before i knew about cubemania. i like cubemania a lot more because it puts your times on a graph.
but cubetimer does save your times, and it does have a bunch of different puzzles. it just doesn't publish your averages the way cubemania does.
im really annoyed...
that happens to me sometimes, but it doesnt stay like that.
when my average was around mid-high 20's (it still is) my goal was to break 20 (single solve). one day i just randomly hit 19's and 18's on a few solves, but the next day i was back at 27.
more recently, i went on vacation to canada...
i try not to cube in places where people will respond negatively. im also careful what cube i bring with me. if i bring a loose DIY, and a non-cuber so much as touches it, its gonna pop and i will have to find the piece i know this because it happens at school. then i get a parity and everyone...
if i had a nickel for every time someone did that... i wouldnt have a lot of money because they take like.. an hour to mix it up XD and they turn it like.. 4 times :/

i just got a storebought today. i did R U R' U' x 24 with the storebought straight out of the box, an unlubed DIY, (il do another after i lube a DIY), and the storebought with the toothpasted storebought. now im doing an average of 5 with the toothpaste and im gonna clean it out and make a...
lubing the cubes make them faster, but after a while, some gunk builds up inside and you gotta clean it out. also, if you dont use pure silicone, and you get it on the stickers, they start to peel.
if you have a DIY cube, tighten it a little, and it will pop less. try watching the youtube video...
i would suggest roux just because the blockbuilding will be easy for you.
maybe petrus?
just try out a bunch and see which you like best.
but give them all a fair chance. some methods may take a little longer to reach their full potential.
nope, lol..
i found that page while i was looking, but thats not the one. there was another one.. it might'v been bob burton's page, but either way, i remember it was in the description on 1 of badmephisto's f2l videos.
it looked kinda like his pll page. it was black and red.
edit: but that...

anyway, you just need to find a list of the cases, preferably with algorithms. then, do the algorithms, and try to understand how they work. that way there isnt...
thank you, everybody, for the info :D
without you guys i wouldnt even know what the method is called.
now i know its more complicated than it looked at first, but i'll definitely look into it more.
a friend of mine (amateur cuber) told me about a method that his friend uses. he said it is really fast. i would like to learn it or at least hear more, but he didnt know much..
what i know:
-first you solve the middle layer/E slice/equator.
-after that i think you bring the edges and...
rofl 4chan reference! XD
anyway... i might try this with a new cube, because it seems like theres something missing from my cubes... except my DIY new type a, the 1 thats "unpoppable" cuz its awesome.
that works, but i tend to get a reaction when i do R U R' U' a few times.
and i always like to do a T perm, but i havnt gotten anything special from that yet..
i always carry a cube with me, as long as it fits in my pocket, backpack, jacket, etc.
and it always does.
i pretty much only take it out when i'm 1)alone, 2)with friends and we have nothing to do, or 3) in a crowded public place where people usually dont talk to random strangers.
