What is a good average move count for 5x5 centers? I average about 70 moves.

Not cubing related but still OAQT-worthy. Genuine question, do schools in the USA require students to wear uniforms? Google kind of gave conflicting answers.

Most do not, and especially not public schools. Charter and private schools are where you're more likely to see them.

Which one do you guys prefer, The shengshou or The MoYu (in general)
The ss 5x5 = 10 $ ; The ss 6x6 = 24 $ so there is difference of 14 $
The MoYu 5x5= 33 $ ; The MoYu 6x6 = 39 $ so there is difference of 6 $
and is ss overpricing their 6x6 ( i dont think 24 $ is worth for that )

I don't know why there's so much of a gap between SS 5x5 and 6x6, but not much of a gap between SS 6x6 and 7x7.

How many cubers have served in the army? I know silly question but I'm curious

I am. So 1 so far.

Don't know if this goes somewhere in hardware section or someplace else but here it goes: My Moyu Aolong (V1 lubed with Lubicle speedy) is AMAZING (for me) when I first use it - It has a nice bubbly feeling, but after maybe 15 solves, it just feels waaaaaay to slow for my taste. This is the second time I've lubed it (cleaned it out before this "lube session", and only used one drop for the whole cube). What am I doing wrong???

 

[donal56]

Which mastermorphix is better? Sheng Shou or Lan Lan
I have never used both

Thank you for serving..

anyway.. Is there a certain practice routine I can do to improve turning accuracy for big cubes like 4x4 or 5x5 or even Rubik's brand cubes?

I know DeeDubb (where is he nowadays...) also was in the army.

Just do loads of solves. Then again you can't really expect to not lock up on big cubes. But practice really helps.

I like to do quite a lot of just 3x3 stage on the big cubes. I find this helps me, but I don't know if anyone really does this, but I assume so.

 

[guysensei1]

I have 2 image requests.

1) Side by side image comparison of the glossiness of the aolong v1 pieces, aolong v2 new batch pieces and aolong v2 old batch pieces

2) Side by side comparison of the moyu aofu core and the shengshou mini 7x7 core

 

[Note]

I just learned Sarah's Skewb method (Is there another name for it?) and I'm only on the beginner one.. What speed would be suggested to be at before I learn the intermediate method?

Is there a good Xcross tutorial for nubs?

 

[Please Dont Ask]

Is the MoYu Aochuang a copy of the V-Cube 5 ???

Is there a good Xcross tutorial for nubs?

Use your head...
1.Just keep track of the first f2l pair when making the cross
2.Use keyhole
3.Insert the 1st f2l pair when making the cross
EDIT: 150 th post

Its a knockoff, not a copy.

 

[Please Dont Ask]

Its a knockoff, not a copy.

Oh thanks
Question - Is shengshou prounouced as shengshooooo or shengshowwww

Question - Is shengshou prounouced as shengshooooo or shengshowwww

In my opinion shengshowwww is closer to the Chinese pronunciation. They're both technically wrong though.

I've never cared about how people pronounce Chinese stuff as long as I know what they mean.

Invalid Scramble: Mirror Cube with 1 disoriented corner



Somehow one day while solving my Mirror Cube (as i normally do with the same method i use for the regular 3x3) I ended up with 1 top corner that will not orientate correctly. I have been looking for solutions online and have yet to find any solutions for 1 corner. I did find an april fools video about the exact problem i was having except it was with a normal 3x3. I have also tried an online cube solver, however the result is consistently "invalid scramble."

I have not taken the mirror cube apart, changed stickers, or altered it in any way.

Does anyone know of a solution? I have tried re-scrambling the cube several times and still end up with 1 corner askew.
