Thanks for all of the help guys!

My qiyi thunderclap is missing two washers. What do I do?

EDIT: Found some spare washers I had, they look pretty similar so I'll use them.

Hello,
so i got this cube as a gift and i know how to solve a 3x3 but my corners are reversed for some reason
any help pls?

 

[Forcefulness]

the stickers are placed incorrectly, thus creating an unsolvable cube, he'll have to remove and replace the stickers on the corners

 

[Slavco Karafilovski]

Thanks for the reply everyone!
Everytime i mix it i get the same corner problem,i tried watching a tutorial on YT and solving it still nothing.
So i went on an online Rubik's cube solver page and it helped me,but i still have little problem!
This is what my cube looks like after solving it with online solver help :
I tried solving it with online help with this pattern and after 13 moves it is the same,even the online solver couldnt help me now

you guys arent understanding the problem, the stickers were placed incorrectly, thus creating an unsolvable cube, hell have to remove and replace the stickers on the corners

On the right track, but he doesn't need to resticker.

Two centre caps have been swapped. Swap the blue and green centre caps to make it solvable.

No, Forcefulness has got it... Look at the corners and try to find the same corner on your own cube, you won't find the corresponding corners.

He needs to swap the four yellow corner stickers for the four white corner stickers

Or minimally (which i don't recommend since you'll have a cube different from everybody else's and different from computer solvers) swap white and yellow centers

thats true, but that would mess up the colour scheme

Seconded. Swap the stickers on the corners as he says.

EDIT:

Depending on the cube, you may be able to separate the corners into three parts and 'switch stickers' that way, by reassembling different corner parts. This would keep your stickers from looking peeled and bothered.

You've been punked! Whoever put the cube together did so in such a manner that it is not solvable. The color scheme of the corners is inverted from the normal BOY color scheme defined by the centers. As mentioned above, you have 2 choices if you want to solve it:

1: Fix the corners. Depending on your cube, you may be able disassemble each of the corner pieces to swap 2 of the 3 faces on each corner. If you can't take apart the corner pieces then you will have to peel and swap eight corner stickers: e.g. swap all 4 yellows with white, all 4 blues with green, or all 4 reds with orange. This will then make your cube solvable in the conventional BOY color scheme, but will take some effort, especially if you have to carefully peel and reattach the stickers while still trying to keep the puzzle from looking crappy.

2: Fix the centers. Simply remove and swap any 2 opposite center caps. The cube will then be solvable but the color scheme will be unconventional and inverted from any other normal cube you may have. If you routinely solve other normal cubes it may be confusing when tying to solve this cube. However, if this is the only cube you intend to be doing solves on, or you don't mind solving this cube carefully each time, you might as well go this route. The one big advantage of doing it this way is that you'll be able to punk any experienced speed cubers to whom you hand this cube. You can take pleasure watching them contort their faces in confusion as they unsuccessfully attempt to solve the puzzle again and again since the colors are different from what they will be expecting.

Thanks everyone for the help!
HOW I SOLVED THE PROBLEM :
I disassemble the cube and swapped two corners,assembled it again and it is fine!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP!

Looks like a Qiyi Bullfight to me.

i recently got a Dayan 2x2 (new plastic) from thecubicle.us, and right out of the box, it was insanely fast, and still was fast after lubing the core with heavy lube and pieces with Lubicle silk. The tensions are on the medium side, (same as my other Dayan 2x2 but is 10 times faster) and the plastic is white, note: I changed the stickers

How about you take it apart and compare it to the current Dayan 2x2 cubes in 50mm and 46mm.

What makes you think it's fake?

 

[Cubister]

Whats the point asking others if your puzzle is a fake if you already compared it to a legit Dayan 2x2?

If you still think you got a fake, get in touch with thecubicle.

Just got my Yuxin Blue. Felt horrible out of the box and it rattled when I shook it. Took it apart to find the source of the rattle and do spring swap. The rattle comes from the torpedos in the inner edge pieces, all of them. It doesn't appear to be anything I can fix easily. Is this normal, or dud?
