What is WCA scramble orientation on a qiyi clock?

• 4d4) Clock is scrambled starting with either side in front and 12 o'clock pointing up.

so it doesn't matter?

Yeah it doesn't matter which way you hold it.

I always do black in front, just to keep it consistent, but yeah, it really doesn't matter.

the thing that confuses me is that for clock the orientation doesn't matter, but for square-1 it does...

I think it’s just because orange and red pieces on the squan can get mixed up with each other, while clock’s faces are entirely separate from one another.

I just wanted to share this tutorial, I find it really helpful.

How do I make sure my tensions are even on my qiyi clock?

there aren't any tensions. unless you cut the springs or something but that's not necessary.

The screws on the casing is what I am talking about sorry

that doesn't really matter. it is basically just the center caps of clock.

How tightly you screw on the casing does matter if you have one side tight then that affects the dial speed. I don't want to have uneven dial speeds.

oh, I messed with mine, I didn't notice anything tho. I guess I am just misinformation. :Misinformation face:

 

[SoupTimmy]

Yeah it's all good! I have 2 qiyi clocks one I messed with that has uneven dial speeds and a new one that came in today that is all even. I guess I am very sensitive on the feel

Just tighten them all the way.

 

[SoupTimmy]

Just tighten them all the way.

Your going to have an un-turnable clock

 

[Deleted member 55877]

Your going to have an un-turnable clock

tighten them all the way then loosen them evenly (like by 2 full rotations or whatever idk)

Mine are tightened as much as they can possibly be and my clock is if anything too fast.

I tightened mine all the way and it became un turnable. I found another solution to find even tensions thanks tho

I've been playing with my new Sengshou clock for about 45mins now...I haven't been able to figure out how to solve it but I have managed to get a "cross" and in total newb fashion I was able to get "1 Side."

Fun puzzle so far. We'll see how far I can get intuitively.
