If they're the same ones as what were at NE Open (which they most probably are), Maru.

When are inverse and mirror algorithms used? Also, if I use F2L, 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL, how fast roughly can I get my solve before I start learning full OLL and PLL? THanks

When you run into a case from a different angle.

You can get sub 20, but sub 30 would be a good goal before learning full PLL. At around 20 seconds average, learn full OLL.

Thanks for the info, I've learnt the two look OLL and PLL algorithms and am halfway through learning the f2l ones, could you please suggest a scenario where an inverse or mirror algorithm would be used, thanks.

You know how you do a U permutation with the 3 block in the back? Well, if you ended up with the 3 block in front, you'd have to auf, or do a y2 rotation. Instead you could use the mirror, and fix the u perm from where you are.

That's not a mirror...

Ooh that's helpful. Then why don't you tell us what it is.

Broke my Magic

I was procrastinating while doing Global homework so I got out my magic which I haven't really used in the past few weeks and I broke it. String popped off and tore and it turned into such a mangled mess my only option was to cut away the strings. The strings are now totally bust and I just threw them out but I've got all the pieces still. Is it worth buying new strings? Is there a performance difference in Magics if I just ordered a new one? The strings are definitely going to cost less than the shipping so unless I get a new cube as well it'd be foolish to buy the strings and the only cube I really want right now is a new 4x4.

whats the best V perm

whats the best V perm

Just look through this page: [wiki]PLL[/wiki] and choose the one you most like.

That would be a reflection across the FB plane.

What does FMC stand for?
I've seen it a few times now.

Fearsome Monster from the Crypt?

Fewest Moves Challenge. The aim is to solve the cube in as few moves as possible.

Ok then, What exactly are A5's? And what is different in the LingYun? Thanks

Haiyan Memory cubes are modded A5s.

 

[waffle=ijm]

LingYun has an "improved" Guhong mech. They added tracks like the A2.

What is your take on THIS?

Is it worth getting?

If you don't mind the price, it's definitely worth getting.

Dillon says it sucks, so i guess it's not worth it.

I said it sucks, so it sucks. Anything I say goes. GuHong Sucks. EVERYTHING SUCKS except for maru Jokes about the GuHong, i think its an amazing cube.
