why do OH people almost always use there left hand? is it just a coincidence and they happen to be left handed?

Most people prefer the right hand for two handed solves so the most popular algorithms mostly use R and U turns. These turns are far easier to do with the left hand than the right hand.

I think that really the reason there are so many lefty OHers is because there are so many lefty OHers.

wouldnt it be easier to just use Lw with your dominant hand then just F B and D?

How would you say the following terms in Spanish?
Megaminx
Pyraminx
twisty puzzle
blindfold
one-handed
I know I can use google translate or whatever, but I'm wondering if there is a more common way to say these things than direct translations, as google translate says blindfold is con los ojos vendados, which is a bit long...

You don't really translate puzzle names. It's a bit long because you're used to a simple word but that's how you say it. Blindfold - con los ojos vendados. OH - con una mano.

What is a good 5x5 method for intermediate-ish solvers. I can solve the 5x5 in about 4 minutes (or something) using centers normally, and then pairing up the edges one by one.

I just bought a can of Jig-A-Loo for $4.59 CAD!

What is the best way to apply it?

1. Lay all the pieces out and spray into the air.
2. Pop out an edge and spray in.
3. Other.

I can't decide what kind of cube I want to get. I'm looking for something smooth that doesn't pop or lock up (or at least as little as possible) and I would like it to be quiet if possible. I was thinking maybe Ghosthand?

Good choice, I think they meet your criteria.

type F's are kiinda smooth also, but if your looking for a smooth cube i would reccomend a C4Y cube, also, if you put C4Y cubies on a type F frame you get the worlds smoothest cube

Smooth is the smallest criteria of the three, and I've tried my friend's C4Y and it just popped a lot. Could someone link me to the black Ghosthand on Popbuying? And which is better, GH-I or II?

I got mine for less than 3 CAD i think

I just pop an edge and spray, and sometimes I get even lazier and just spray in the gaps between pieces

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Anyone try this out yet? http://popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.4x4x4_CYH_Magic_Intelligence_Test_Cube_White_-28588

@Chapuunka I couldn't find black. But I found purple and white

 

[Chapuunka]

Thanks. And what about the lubing thing? I just have Jig-a-Loo, is that a problem?

WHERE IS THIS MAGICAL PLACE THAT SELLS JIG-A-LOO FOR LESS THAN 3 DOLLARS?

Oh well, I'm pretty happy with sub-5. It should last me a while.
