The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

I want to ask about breaking in a C4U cube again. I know that BigGreen uses one, and I'm hoping that either him or another long time C4U owner could help me out.

first break it in by just solving it several times until less friction can be felt. then lube it, upon the first lubing keep solving until it evens out. after some solves it should feel marshmallow-y. lube a second time, solve until even. that's where my current C4U cube is at.

Marshmallow-y? Mine feels so crispy and loud right now, is that normal until it's broken in?

In which attack does Charizard grab on to his opponent, fly into the sky, and than slam him into the ground (anime, not games).

Seismic Toss in PBR is also animated like that

FOr the V CUbe 6 Mod, can I glue in the pins BEFORE sanding down the two internal pieces?

Have you ever seen it done to a Digglett/ Dugtrio? The Pokedex claims that its body continues underground, but when you use Seismic Toss on either of them, no body is shown.

I asked this before but didn't get an answer. Is it worthy to clean, sand and lube my rubik's 4x4 (revenge) cube? I have a feeling that it won't be, for now it's almost plain unusable. Getting a new 4x4 is out of the question.

If you cannot get a new one, then I won't say it's worthy to clean it out, but you have to stick with what you have.
So maybe.

I saw that Stanford Spring 2010 may have the Skewb in the comp, so I want to get one. (even if Stanford doesn't have the Skewb, I still want one). Should I get the LanLan or QJ Skewb off popbuying?

I would just go with a Mefferts because of the quality.

Well I first tried to do it by letters.

what do you average, and you did it like Bob Went to the Butchery?
B= UL
W=DF
B= UL completing the cycle?

I use letters as like top 4 CW starting from
UF A,B,C,D, Then going to left side, front side, right side, back side, then down side

Ok I have a noobish question. I'm learning how to solve the square1. I was wondering which algs I should learn first so I could solve it w/o a paper. I've been learning from these, but if you have a better one please tell me.
