The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[ben1996123]

EDIT: Forget that question, I have a better one.

How many algs are there for CLS + CPLL in one alg, and how would I find out what the cases actually are?

CLS is 104 cases and with 5 corners there are 5! possible permutations so 104*5! = 12480

that is a huge number of cases so I may be wrong

Oh...

Dosen't look like I'll be learning that any time soon

EDIT: I just calculated it to be 972 cases, but this is the first time I have ever attempted to calculate an amount of cases.

I did:

\( 3^5*(5!)=29160 \) Amount of orientations^amount of permutations*(amount of permutations!)
This amount is not reached because it is impossible to twist 1 corner, and permute only 1 corner.
\( (3^4*(4!))/2=972 \)
Divide by 2 at the end because only an even number of swaps are possible.

whats it like brand new?i think i'm going to get QJ

It is absolutely horrible. Especially the tips. Mine felt like it was super glued >.<

Nope.
I got one from magic-puzzle-cube.com
After you lube it, it turns nice. The tips should be stiff, so they won't slip into a +2.

From my experience, they are still crap. Why would you say nope, when that's my experience. I have two Pyraminxes, and (IMO) the QJ out of the box is crap. That is what he was asking. Not after you lube it.

Edit: ThatGuy: no, that's not competition legal if the logo is engraved.

3l1) Colourless logos (max. 1 logo per colour) that are engraved are not considered as logos

are you sure? this just says colorless.

 

[Feryll]

Why do the rules require a logo anyway? I can see it being illegal if it's engraved, as you can feel it during BLD, but why can't you just do it with a logo-less cube?

You don't need one.

3l) Cube puzzles must have at most one logo. For Rubik's Cube or bigger cube puzzles the logo must be placed on one of the centre pieces.

•3l1) Colourless logos (max. 1 logo per colour) that are engraved are not considered as logos.

If you didn't need one then 3l1) would have no point.

[mr. giggums]

I have two Skewb questions.

1. Is there a way to adjust the tensions? If so how?
2. Is there an opitmal solver for it?

Bump.
I have found a solver but I still need help with the tension

Have you ever disassembled it? And what brand is it?

I have disassembled it and the brand is QJ.

EDIT: I should also probably say that I am doing it so it pops less so any other sugession on how to prevent this would be great.

Anyone know.

Was there any screws?

Were the under the corners that attach to the core? Because it looked like it was a soild piece of plastic.

Still haven't got my answer.
Also what are pre-moves in FMC.

If it isn't answered in a while, it probably will stay that way. Bumping won't help.

My question: Why is Hong Kong and Macau listed as separate countries? It's kinda weird that when they get a record it says NR.

 

[Samania]

Does anyone know what the name of the lube is that comes with mini QJ from popbuying? When I took it apart there was a sticky almost petroleum stuff on the core.

Don't feed trolls, ben. No one's that stupid.

Anyway, can someone link me to an advanced edge-paring tutorial for 5x5? Preferably video, but text works too.

Wrong thread broski.

 

[Chapuunka]

Don't feed trolls, ben. No one's that stupid.

Anyway, can someone link me to an advanced edge-paring tutorial for 5x5? Preferably video, but text works too.

cehck out erik's tutorial on youtube just search frk17

That's over 2 years old, and not how I see people doing it today. Thanks, though.

Anyone else?

 

[joey]

He still uses the same thing.

 

[Chapuunka]

Maybe I'm confused, or is there another way that it's done?

 

[mr. giggums]

I have two Skewb questions.

1. Is there a way to adjust the tensions? If so how?
2. Is there an opitmal solver for it?

Bump.
I have found a solver but I still need help with the tension

Have you ever disassembled it? And what brand is it?

I have disassembled it and the brand is QJ.

EDIT: I should also probably say that I am doing it so it pops less so any other sugession on how to prevent this would be great.

Anyone know.

Was there any screws?

Were the under the corners that attach to the core? Because it looked like it was a soild piece of plastic.

Still haven't got my answer.
Also what are pre-moves in FMC.

If it isn't answered in a while, it probably will stay that way. Bumping won't help.

Well the reason I was bumping is that vcuber13 keeps on asking a question about then leaves then asks again then leaves. So I assume he will eventually answer my question.
