Things to do with my clock when I get it? Not just solving, like breaking in, lubing, etc?

get to know it on a more..*cough* personal level. lubing can be involved

 

[theace]

you'll need to take it apart and lube it.

Is this maru lube? I don't think so but i'm not sure.

I put it in my V-Cube 5 and it did the job.
I've never used the Maru lube, so I can't compare them.
It looks like white water, or diluted milk.

 

[RCTACameron]

No, this is maru lube.

incase an italian goes.

but really someone needs to organize it and get a delegate

Here or here or here . I can't help you with the "pro-method" thing, I'm not a pro.

@BC1997: Competitions are organized and run by cubers, so where there are a lot of cubers, there usually are also a lot of competitions. There's got to be someone who is willing to organize the whole thing (getting a venue, getting a WCA-delegate, printing the scrambles, getting sponsors, ...), and there "should be at least 12 competitors". If no one has organized a comp in Malta before, you could just do it yourself. But it kind of only makes sense if there are other cubers in Malta who would come.

2nd. question: I guess you meant, how long it took, right? Like 8-10 minutes? On my first successful solve that is.

most fast people use vandenbergh (like the fridrich of sq1) some people use a roux/screw method, and some people learn some sub methods like parity cp.

About 30 mins while watching TV. I didn't know how to deal with parity or breaking into a new cycle though so I had to work it out during memo.

What would the best lube be for the Dayan 4x4? I've lubed the crap out of it with Jig-a-loo and the outer layers are still pretty crappy.

I heard crc or maru does the job well.

 

[cuberkid10]

I've had my Maru 4x4 for over 2 months now. I solve it alot and have lubed and loosened the tensions a bit. The cube is pretty bad. The outer layers aren't really an issue. It's the inners. They are super rough, bumpy, and just crappy overall. I've sprayed with CRC and Maru lube and it didn't make a difference. Any way to make it better?
(Could it have been a B grade from china? I noticed most Maru's had better middle layers in videos. Their's was packaged differently than mine. I got mine from Cubedepot.)
