    What was the closest you ever got to quitting cubing?

    I'll start: I was at Sub 50-40 at the time, and my parents were like "You know, I think you should move on from cubing.". For a second I actually considered it. We were watching the news at that time. At that exact moment, I don't know if got lucky or something, but there was a headline about a...

    What changes do modern speedcubes need.

    We got stickerless cubes, rounded off corners, torpedos, magnets, good corner cutting, lots of customization options, corner to core magnets, and now maglev. What do you think a modern speedcubes could use to be better? I personally believe that a more intuitive customization mechanism is...

    Downsolve Competition

    So, I just randomly had this idea for a fun competition. The idea is to take a 3x3 scramble, and you can solve it however you want to. You can use AI to find the best solution, or just find a fast solution yourself- the idea is to get the fastest time possible with the scramble. I am not super...

    Weekly 22-49 FMC Speed Solve 1 Solutions

    So I attempted the first scramble of the speed FMC for practice in the Weekly 22-49 competition. Scramble: I was using NISS and normal blockbuilding, and got to a pseudo-F2L-1 case in 18 moves which I was incredibly happy with.

I find that alot of the posts here are just used to fill up extra reactions or free post count. I would like your opinions on things like reaction games, and threads where you just spam...

    [Poll] Can anyone be sub-10?

    So I think this could spark up some discussion. Four or five years ago, almost everyone would have answered this question with "No freakin way!". But I feel that in 2015, posing such a question doesn't sound so unrealistic. The question is whether it is possible for every cuber to achieve...

    [Discussion Thread] Music and cubing

    Everone has music that puts them in "The zone." What music works best for you when cubing? For me, the John Butler Trio and Dave Matthews Band get me in the zone for cubing.
