The One Answer Question Thread

[Cheese11]

Alright,

If I can twist a corner on my Maru 4x4 like you can on a 3x3 should I be worried?

[storebought]

1. Does cubesmith make tiles for the Mefferts pyraminx? I couldn't find them on the site. And if not why not? (it's a pretty popular puzzle)

2. Does cubesmith make any tiles/stickers that will fit the mini QJ 4x4?

3.any tips on assembling, lubing and tensioning a guhong v2?

Also please don't yell at me, I used the search bar and couldn't find answers for question #1 but i didn't search for the other two.

Thanks

I believe that assembly of a guhong v2 is very similar to a zhanchi.

What are some good algs to learn for 3x3? I know full oll and pll. I started learning Winter Variation, but it rarely comes up in a solve. I know around 10 of those algs. What else is there? F2L tricks maybe? (where can I find some useful ones) Thanks.

I'm looking to get some Lubix (lube). What is going to be the best website for me to order from? I live in Australia and I don't want to pay too much on postage. So basically, after paying all expenses (price + postage), what site is going to best for me to order from?

Thanks in advance

For English sites that use PayPal:

These prices are for 2cc Lubix. This is the only item in the cart.

LubixCube: $14.94 USD
SpeedCubeShop: Total $16.94 USD

ICubeMart and Cubedepot also have Lubix, but have Google Checkout, so I can't check the prices of shipping on those sites. But in general (at least in the past - I haven't checked recently), ICubeMart has very expensive shipping and Cubedepot has cheap shipping, so I would expect it is the same with lube.

For 5cc Cubesmith.com Lube: $17.49 USD

Cubesmith Lube is pretty much the same as Lubix.

BTW, you can get diff oil or shock oil from hobby shops for much cheaper. Many people believe diff oil/shock oil is just good as Lubix. If you are in NSW, you can get diff oil from HobbyCo for $13.50AUD for ~55cc.

Thanks for that What is the least amount of diff oil that you can buy (as in how many cc?)

I currently know intuitive f2l and kind of suck at it. I want to learn algorithms but a lot of people says that it doesn't really make a difference. Should I stick with intuitive f2l and learn new tricks, or just learn the algorithms?

Stick with intuitive and learn tricks. Most of the time, the intuitive way is the best way, but learn tricks for when the two pieces are together.

Least? Don't know why you would want that, but Lubix's smallest is 2cc. I got 50ccs of 50k wt diff oil (lubix KO) for $10, the same price as lubix 2cc without shipping though.
