The One Answer Question Thread

I recently started practicing OH. After only a few days of practice I've developed a massive hangnail on my left index finger. Now it hurts. Is this normal for people new to OH? Will I develop a callus over time or do I need to think about changing my technique?

It'll get better. Just keep doing OH. Maybe take a day off and soak your hand in some epsom salts (I think you can just buy them at CVS or another pharmacy) a few times whenever you get a hangnail. OH used to really kill my fingers too, but either they just got callused or I subconsciously changed my technique to make it stop.

I am learning the Roux method, and I am wondering about edge orientation.

My question is this:
Should I try and learn the cycling or the direct alg?

Thank you in advance,

I think most people would say cycling. I personally find it to be one of the best parts of Roux.

When the magic puzzle is one flip from being solved, is that a +2 or DNF also is it allowed when it flips by itself after you stopped the timer?

Thanks

Practice doing pairs blindfolded before you try concentrating on something else while doing the pair blindfolded.

It'll just take practice to get used to cross on bottom. Just give it more time.
