2 Noobish Megaminx Questions

[FrankLZ]

I just tried to solve my megaminx for the first time and had basically no trouble getting all but the edges of the last layer solved. Before I try and bust my brain to do this on my own I want to confirm that the situation I have is actually solvable since pieces flew out a few times while I was scrambling/solving it and I'm not sure if I put them back in the right place

If you look straight on at the last layer and count the edges in a clockwise manner then my first two edges need swapped and edges 3 & 4 also need swapped, the fifth one is solved. Is that a solvable state?

Second question. I got this megaminx from C4Y and it was said to be a non-meffert's tiled megaminx, but when I got it the logo on the aqua face has the meffert's logo? Could this be a real Meffert's megaminx or did the forgers also copy the logo?

I should be able to figure out how to solve the edges on my own using slight variations of the Fridrich PLLs, right?

yeah it is def a solvable state, but if you want a hint i can give you one.

 

[FrankLZ]

Thanks calekewbs, I'll keep that in mind if I get frustrated

Well how much did you buy it for. The mefferts megaminx is too expensive. I got the $7 megaminx and it is very bad

My megaminx is a 7$ megaminx from cube4you.
I didn't make any mod, and I can get sub-90 sec easily.
I guess you have to use it.

For your situation, it's solvable. If you don't manage to use PLLs from 333, then use commutators. Commutators always works

This is the one I ordered, but it has a nice meffert's logo on it: http://www.cube4you.com/421_New-12-Color-Tile-Megaminx(Black).html

Well you are a ten time better minxer than me. I wanted to know does your minx cut corners and is the rotation smooth?

 

[Thieflordz5]

Yes, It is solveable.
I used some kind of sune thing for a 3 cycle before I changed to Nakajima's method (edges first).

Look again. It's MF8, not Meffert's.
