The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

You'd think that as long as all clocks showed the same hour but were like an hour or two off that it'd be a +2 since it's essentially solved.

Anybody know where I might post a cube meetup thread at? I've seen a handful of them posted in the official wca competitions forum but I wouldn't think that's the appropriate place to put them.

In CCT, what is the difference between Megaminx and Pochmann Megaminx?

Thanks

To post a cube meetup, I think the Off-Topic discussion is good, that's where dChan posts them and no one yells at him.
As for Megaminx notation:
Thrwast has a video on megaminx notation. Just search "megaminx notation". That's for the regular notation. I think Pochmann notation is simpler though?

swap only 2 opp centres on 4x4

I asked a question similar to this a while ago, right now, I want to know what E prems you guys use and which is the most common one? Right now, I am (still) trying to learn the one with the D turns, which I really suck at.
I would prefer one which moves the cubies sideways instead of up/down, I find it easier to recognise.

 

[Inf3rn0]

Well you could just AUF or rotate to move them sideways..

No difference other than the scrambling method. Use and learn the Pochmann scrambling method, the old method is extremely slow.

Do you mean just one center piece? Or 2 entire centers?

 

[Rubenajax]

I need a site where i can buy a type fII, type AV and a 4x4 Eastsheen, who can help me?

i meant the entire centre, but i found out with some experimenting, u2 M2 u2.

i did a z perm and the centres got switched (K4 and experimented with the ell)

 

[Zane_C]

Does anyone have an alg that swaps the UF and UB wings on a 5x5?
R2 U2 R2 Uw2 R2 u2 does the trick, but I want something that is center friendly that keeps all the centers in their exact position.

Thanks.

http://cube4you.com do all of those, but their international postage rate is extortionate, so probably only good if you're in the US.

I got my F2 through an Ebay seller called Magic-Puzzle-Cube ( http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/magic-puzzle-cube/ ) which I was very happy with. Also Haiyan sells all the Alpha types and Eastsheen 4x4's ( http://www.cubehaiyan.com/ ) if you're wanting cheaper postage rates.

EDIT: If you're getting an FII (and I think you should cause they're brilliant ) be sure to order some cubesmith replacement stickers (small size), cause the ones that come with it will only last you a week.

Hey, anyone know how Lucas Garron made these great translucent cube cases at http://cube.garron.us/MGLS/ ? I could have sworn I saw a thing on the net to make the exact type but I can't find the site.

Darn, you're right, I thoguht I saw it there but I was mistaken.
There is a thread with a massive list of online shops here: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19449
a lot them are closed down, but you should definitely be able to find what you're looking for there. Good luck.
