What is more difficult to learn?

Full OLL and Full PLL
or
Full CLL for 2x2

I ask because I know full oll/pll, but cll seems a little harder to learn or recognize cases as they come up.

How do people do R2' U? I'm not talking about R2 U, I can do that just find. I've seen a lot of peole mention the R2' U or R'2 U trigger and I don't understand how to do it without regriping or breaking my wrist.

I've disassembled it and reassembled it for 3 times now. At first everything works fine. After a few turns. Some layers won't turn anymore. What is wrong with my cube? I've done the pin mod if it helps.

Edit: it's a 6x6

When you turn inner layers you have to make sure to hear a firm *click*. Then the other layers will turn.

would a 6cm QJ 4x4 be a good speed cube for the 4x4?
or would a normal sized one be the best?

 

[Ashmnafa]

If you have normal or small hands, get the mini QJ. If you have large hands, get the normal sized QJ.

Thanks, and oh, do the Qj's cut corners well?

OLL/PLL was harder for me most likely because it was the first set of algs that I learned. CLL is tricky, but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot easier to learn because that algs are shorter. Just don't stall like me because then you loose that motivation.

Thanks!

Can't say for sure, but I got one a couple weeks ago.

Is it possible to change color scheme in Kubrick? I find it a very good piece of software, except that it has Japanese color scheme and I can't find where this can be changed.

I admit I haven't fully researched this question, but could someone tell me the best non-video Petrus tutorial out there? http://lar5.com/cube/index.html seems to be the standard, but I'm wondering if there is another one out there.

Are there any rules on how your hands should be placed on a stackmat or how they are placed relative to the cube? I ask because it seems like you would get faster times if you put your palms on the stackmat, because your fingers would be closer or right next to the cube. I never see anyone doing this though ...

The Mefferts 4x4 is the same size as the Rubik's and QJ 4x4. That means that the 4x4 stickers and tiles will fit well. You have to take those tiles off first.

For future reference: it shows the measurements at the top of the page on cubesmith.
