The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

How often do you guys lube the sides of the edges/corners of your cubes? I find that my core and inside parts stay lubricated, which is good. However, the part where most of the friction occurs is between the walls of the pieces. And for me, the lubrication there seems to dry up/evaporate rather quickly compared to the core. Btw, I'm using Traxxas 50K.

whenever i feel it needs it. roughly once every 2 weeks with maru lube for pieces.

Is it worth learning algs for tricky F2L cases I struggle with while I practice lookahead, or should I just use my slightly longer intuitive method?

F2L should be intuitive, but this doesn't mean you cant 'learn' algs for tricky cases.

I'd definitely recommend doing this, and doing it slowly (at first) so you can see how the 'alg' works, and therefore making it intuitive.

Good luck

What are possible locations for US nats?

Felix Lee hasn't decided on a location as of last week's cube club.

How are last slot algorithms created? Is there any intuitive way of coming up with these algorithms?

What is the name of that puzzle, which looks like a regular 3x3x3, and works as a regular 3x3x3, but additionally you can do further moves: for example, when you do only 45 degrees of turns on R and L sides, you can still turn the U side.

Edit: Ah, after 20 minutes of search, I found it... It's called the Mixup Cube.

I think that is a Latch cube.....
correct me if i'm wrong

No, the Latch cube is when you have arrows which force you to turn to specific directions, if that is possible.

EDIT: I found it! It's called Mixup Cube (aka WitEden Oskar 3x3x3 Mixup Cube).

Thanks for letting me know...

..Anyone seen a picture that shows all F2L cases that can be solved at different angles?

1 - No, not at all
2 - It's one of the best. I do like ksolve a bit more, but it takes a lot more getting used to (lack of GUI, learning how to write/use .def files, etc.)
3 - not sure

Can a reduction method be used for 6x6 and 7x7?

 

[Michael Womack]

Can a reduction method be used for 6x6 and 7x7?

yes, it's the #1 method for big cube that are cube with more layers then the 3x3 like the 4x4 on up. It's such an easy method to learn. Once you know how to solve the 4x4 you can solve any of the other cubes with higher layers.

yes, it's the #1 method for big cube that are cube with more layers then the 4x4 like the 5x5 on up. It's such an easy method to learn. Once you know how to solve the 4x4 and 5x5 you can solve any of the other cubes with higher layers.

I think you reworded my reply.
