Depending on which colour you want. Shipping may take longer than SpeedCubeShop, the the price, availability, and variety is better.

$8 and free shipping? Unexpected/10

That's so cheap! How come it's cheaper than pretty much any other puzzle out there? It looks so complicated. Not that i'm complaining. Anyway, the white one caught my eye. When i went to checkout it said 2 items. Is that because the stickers are separate?

 

[miniGOINGS]

How come it's cheaper? That's what PopBuying/Lightake does.

Hmm, you might want to clear your cart and then try again. It only showed up as 1 item for me.

 

[Senkoy]

Well you know what? That's pure awesomeness. Thanks a lot for the link bud. And if i could bother you a bit further, i'm also looking for a pyraminx. I'm looking at theirs and there seem to be a lot. Could you point me to a while, high quality one? Thanks!

You're very welcome. I tend to answer a lot of questions in this thread... The shipping usually takes a while (I actually got my package today!), but it's a really great deal.

I'll look into the Pyraminx's.

Seem to be the best there. I'll keep looking.

 

[Senkoy]

Yeah, i'm looking at them too. Not sure what the difference is between the frosted version.

Also, what do you think of this?

http://www.speedcubeshop.com/apps/webstore/products/show/1412670

It's mostly for my V-5. It's gotten REALLY stiff.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Wrong link maybe?

I'm not too sure about the differences in the Pyraminx's, but I'd do with the one's I linked rather than the other ones there.

 

[Senkoy]

Whoops! Wrong link, sorry.

I probably will get the one you linked to. For $7 you can't go wrong. Also i just saw those crazy 3x3 plus ones. WOW! They look so cool, but i want one with all the faces turning. I looking on youtube and it seem those are only custom made right now. Guess i'll have to wait. Really cool looking though!

 

[miniGOINGS]

That's D39, it's the lube that the Chinese seem to favour. Apparently the best lube for your cube. Haiyan uses it for his.

 

[Senkoy]

I guess i'll buy some then. And i'm still not sure about that cube. It's got tiles and i want a stickered one. Hmm, guess i'll keep looking if nothing i'll get that one. Thanks again for the help!

 

[miniGOINGS]

Ok, if you want the stickers, you could get the other one and see how it is. Good luck.

 

[Senkoy]

Thanks! I ended up just buying the one you recommended since i couldn't find any info on what the difference was on the frosted one. Tiles aren't too bad anyway. Again, thanks for all the help!

Today I decided to clean out my f-ii for the first time (I bought it a long time ago, back when it was first released).
Then I lubed it with jigaloo (disassemble, sprayed all the pieces, let it dry), and now it feels really crappy. Its a lot slower now, and just feels kinda horrible.
Should I wash the lube out and just use it without any?

Hmm..I do R U' R' F R' F R U R' F R for that CLL which is the same as Sarah's..one of my faster CLLs I'd say.

anyway, if I use a Y perm for my last corner in 4bld, the U centre will be rotated. How do I fix that?

I just solve centers first, edges then corners, so it won't be messed up. Or am I not getting what you're asking?

Yea, you got it. But I can't possibly retain my corner memo for that long so I solve corners first like I do in 3x3 bld

You can do a U (or U', depending on how you perform the Y-perm) as a setup for th whole centers solve. At worst you will forget to fix that setup at the end and get a +2.

is it ok if i memorize the whole 50 oll algs in 1 week? will i forget them soon if i do so?

50 a week is pretty heavy, unless you're willing to put in monumental effort, it's going to be tough.
I would advise against it.
(Trust me, I know all about algorithm memorization. )

One week!!! Too fast man! Try to learn and memo one day. It's easier. It's not worth to learn over a week, it's only going to improve your times by two seconds or somewhere around that.
Unless you're sub-10 without tell us...

Its ok i wouldnt recommend it though. Only if you're really good at remembering algs would i learn OLL that way. If you're really keen to learn it id suggest pushing it to 2 weeks but learning 1-2 a day is a good way to go.
