Cut out little squares of colored paper and glue them on

Is this a JNetcube easter egg? Let's just say that I messed up a LL alg *whistles inconspicuously* and ended up starting my solve over again. When I hit the timer, it showed -39.09 seconds. Yes, as in negative time! Cool! Is this an easter egg for certain times? Or did my program just goof up somehow?

--edit--
Here's the average as reported in JNetcube:

Cool! I, apparently, am capable of solving in negative time without the use of daylight saving time!

Where can you get the cord that connects a Stackmat timer to computer?

Where can you get the cord that connects a Stackmat timer to computer?

Any store similar to radio shack near you?

What type of cord. (what's it called).

Are there any completely 2-gen corner permutation algorithms?

off-topic- im outta town and cant order stuff online =[

on-topic- i bought a can of jig-a-loo. and individually sprayed it. how long should i re-spray to make sure ti stays smooth, also is the indivually spray just once? also how long after spinning will the effects show up

Are there any completely 2-gen corner permutation algorithms?

On the cube, you can't permute corners with 2-gen algs. The only thing you can do is the X-perm (H-perm + U2).
On the megaminx, on the contrary, you can do any corner permutation you like with 2-gen algs

Edit: What I said above is for last layer corners. You can do some other corner permutation with 2-gen algs, like (on the cube) L2 U L2 U' L2 U L2 U' L2 U' L2 U' L2 U2 L2 U2 L2 U' L2 U which swaps ULB and UFR corners and DFL and DFB corners.

What is the best youtube tutorial for a square-1 first timer, I was thinking Tharwst's but if its bad...

 

[Truncator]

I like theWestonian's Square-1 tutorial.

The parity algorithm is very long, but you won't find any shorter ones. Good luck

Can someone direct me to a decent collection of more obscure 5x5 centers algs?

I always liked: r' d' L' u' R d' r U2 r' d R' u L d r

I guess that one is arguably pretty obscure. Kudos if you can figure out what it does or when you would use it ;-)

I actually applied that and then I messed up the inverse of it.

I now have an unsolved 5x5 at 11:49 PM on a late school night.

How to track orders made on cubeforyou (new website) using the cheapest mailing system. (I think it was China post). Is it trackable? And how?

Does the Type FII deteriorate?
