I was just curious how many of you hand scramble your big cubes while doing averages and such. If you're just doing a random solve or two then I don't really want to know about that but if you're doing an Ao12 or something on qqTimer or another online timer do you follow their scrambles? I hand...
I just received my stackmat timer yesterday and it was fine then. Today it's really spotty. I'll reset it and then my hands will be three inches away and it will start again. I can also start and stop it with one finger on one touchpad sometimes. The touchpads seem to be on the blink. Another...
Every now and then the sound on my computer will cut out and stop working for weeks-months. It's been on the blink for quite some time now and it makes watching any videos very inconvenient since I have to use my iPod instead. When the sound cut out this time I'd been listening to music on...
I'm learning ZZ for OH and I'm having trouble identifying orientation of edges for EOLine. I've watched bldmaster's videos atleast five times apiece now and this is what I've gathered.
1. If there is a sticker from the right or left side on the top or bottom it is a bad edge.
2. If there is a...
I've read pretty much every recent BLD thread, looked into all the memo methods and read as many pages as I could find but I don't understand how lettering the cube then works into memo. I know this is probably extremely noobish and one of the biggest keys to BLD which is why I'm asking. How do...
I recently motivated myself to forsake a white cross and become color neutral. At first I just sorta decided to do it without a plan but quickly chose to do an Ao100 each day with a different cross color. I also am choosing my cross color so that the side faces will be different each day. For...
I was just scrambling my Dayan 4x4 and it did the most epic pop ever. I sighed and grabbed the center piece and went to put it back in and realized a core piece had also popped. Anyone who's seen the core of a Dayan knows that there's a white inner core and a black outer core that's made of...
I'm going to be getting paid soon (I teach swim lessons and only get paid like once a month since it's only two hours on Saturdays) and the check will be for about $50-$60. I plan on getting some new puzzles with the money but I'm not sure what I should buy first.
These are the puzzles I plan...
I just got my Dayan 4x4 today and it's nice(compared to my old jank Rubiks brand) and cuts pretty well but is a little rough to turn. It definitely needs some lube but I'm not sure how to do it. Last time I tried to lube a 4x4 I destroyed it. I have Lubix and then some generic silicone spray...
I set a goal to have a sub-30 Ao100 before October 31st. I'm right around 32-35 seconds right now and I need to know what will help me to get the most consistent sub-30 times possible. I know it'll probably be cross and F2L since algs is just drilling and recognition. I know full PLL and I'm...
A lot of my friends have seen me solve a 3x3 and now they're all into it. A few of them already know how using beginners methods. I told everyone who wanted a cube to get my $15 by Friday and I'd order them all GuHongs. I'd also be assembling them (which sorta sucks since each piece is assembled...
First:
Does the Dayan 4x4x4 come in any colors other than black? I found black here http://witeden.com/goods.php?id=173 and here http://hknowstore.com/item.aspx?corp...c-deb69fac5d9a. I thought hknowstore.com had them in white as well but I no longer see the option.
Second:
Does the Ling Yun...
I was just checking out v-cubes.com and I was looking here:http://www.v-cubes.com/prod_info/future_products.php# when I noticed that on the animated picture that shows all the cubes rotating towards and then away from you that the V-Cube 6 was round, and under it was the caption V-Cube 6b. I...
I'm currently working on Full PLL and I'm learning them all off of badmephistos website and I've just made it to the first G-Perm. G(d). The algorithm that I'm using is R U R' y' R2 u' R U' R' U R' u R2. It's easy to memorize but weird to execute and the easiest way that I figured it out without...
I went through two Rubik's Revenges in less than two weeks so I decided to get a better cube and decided on a tiled Meffert. My friend was also unhappy with her Revenge so we decided to get the Twin pack and split it but when I went on the Meffert website it said they were out of stock. I waited...
I've only been cubing for a little over a month and have so far been using a LBL method. I've peaked with this method at averages of about a minute and a PB of 52.06 (I have maybe fifteen sub-minute times). I know I could grind through and drop my averages maybe a few seconds but I figured that...
