One-Answer 3x3x3 Question Thread

Another silly question: which Ja perm is better
lefty ver L' U' L F L' U' L U L F' L2 U L
or the weird execute on bottom y2 x R2 F R F' R U2 r' U r U2 x' (which is really fingertricked as l' R' F R F' R U2 r' U L F2)
I think the weird one is less reliable for me but maybe I'm just not good at those fingertricks

I've tried both and I like the y2 x R2 F R F' R U2 r' U r U2 x' better but you should time them with a stackmat multiple times and pick the faster consistent one that you don't lock up on

I actually don’t use either. I use the M’ (sledge)... one, shown in this video:

interesting but the M' move is weird for flow maybe

I'm not consistent at either

My 3x3 gan air cube gets really dirty. I clean iit with warm soapy water and a brush, and then i dry it with a towel. I do some solves, an hour later, white dust on the pieces and black stains on the corner white plastic. And white stains on the center pieces. How can i keep it clean?

Maybe lube would help?
(Assuming this problem occurs with a dry cube)

the main cause for this is probably in the screw/springs. do you take those apart too?

ohhh. yeah ill have to wait about 5 months to get my lube i ordered (i live in central america, and we dont have a postal system. So we buy from the united states and when people come here we take advantage). How can i keep it clean?

i leave those on the side, cuz it might get rusted. So how can i clean those?
edit: i use purple ges springs

with a dry towel, or q tip
edit:
see what happens if you exchange the nuts and solve for a day

no luck. i tried blue springs and it still got dirty after a few solves. side note: i hate blue ges springs, so much pops.

why does lube make a cube get less dirty? also your profile pic doesnt pain me anymore

 

[Deleted member 55877]

why doe lube make a cube get less dirty?

prevents dust from building up

 

[mayankmehta83]

Please look at the pictures attached (all faces) and comment if it's in "unsolvable" state? Bought it last week and have solved it twice, but not able to solve this time, and NO it never fell / broke-off.

looks like you have a corner twist, which can occur without anything popping

 

[Cubing Forever]

Looks like you have a corner twist. You have to twist one of those corners manually.

So I have this friend that doesn't cube and stuff, and I want to explain what the CFOP method is. I can't find a video about how CFOP works, because everybody assumes that the people that watch the video already know the beginner's method. Do you have a video that I can show him?

What do you mean, how it works? Just the steps or the algorithms or such?

I just want to show him how the method works. This dude hasn't solved a cube in his life. What the different steps are, and everything. I don't want to show him how to solve the cube, just show him what is happening.
