I'm learning full pll.
and I'm stuck on G perms, because I dont kno what y, y', x, x' u, u'
that kind of stuff mean.
If anyone could give me a link or some direction that would be great.

x = rotate the entire cube in the same direction as R
y = cube rotation in the direction of U
x' and y' = what you'd expect based on the above, it's just going the opposite direction
u = double layer move of U together with the middle layer, sometimes notated as Uw

What happens when your cube order is too big to fit in your mailbox? Please answer if you've experienced this

You most likely will not. I do not know about Swedish rules, but in Denmark you only have to pay if it's above 360 danish kroner or so.

No, it's 80 danish kroner. If it's more than 80 kr, you have to pay moms, and then you'll have to pay 155 kr to Post Danmark, for importing something without having paid moms.

Is there any moderately easy way to see if a 3x3 has permutation parity, or is in a solvable position, when it is scrambled?

You'll most likely have to pick it up at the post office and they ill leave a notice in your mailbox, or they'll just put it on top or at your door.

Hi, I current;y got my megaminx not too long ago, and I kind of just figured out how to solve it myself. First I make a star then do an f2l, then I make a "v" under all of the faces above the f2l. Then I do another f2l finally I do oll and pll and it's solved. So it's kind of a way I came up with that evolved from a 3x3 solve, which is fine however it take me usually at least ten minutes to solve it. My question is what would be the best method to learn to solve the megaminx based on what i'm currently using. Thanks.

They will probably bring it to your door. If your not home for 3 times then they will give you a slip and you will have to pick it up at the post office.

Pretty much what I do, and I usually get 3:30-3:45 unless I mess up, working towards sub-3 minutes. Make sure last layer is efficient, and experiment with ordering things slightly differently to see how it affects your solve.

We have seen google checkout's video and it is saying that it wont give away the credit card number to the dealer. But if you dont have the credit card number. How will the transaction take place?

If it's correct that google don't give the number to the dealers, then that will mean that Google take care of the whole transaction, all the dealer sees is the money going into his account with the order, so it is only google that you need to trust with your credit card. I wouldn't be that worried about it anyway with a credit card, as far as I know credit card companies have protections to prevent against fraud, so if someone were to steal the details, the credit card company would reclaim the money, and never charge you for it.
