QJ or Eastsheen 4x4?

Neither.

 

[TheRussiaNinja]

What do you suggest then?

 

[oprah62]

What do you suggest then?

Dayan, maru, or xcube4 when it comes out

 

[HavoCentral]

dayan mf8 is the best i have tried, that i am allowed to mention. ;D
but it is equally as good as the unmentionable. both cut corners, one pops (dayan), the other locks up some. and the dayan is bigger

and not really unless you are trying for records. maybe once you get times around a minute or so. but for now i would just learn 2LOLL and 2LPLL

Where can I get a black F2 Edge cap?

So in FMC, you don't have the actual cube in you hand? OMG...

 

[amostay2004]

there are tricks for that (to identify gperm if theres no hints (no blocks/headlights = Ra, Rb, F, Ga, Gc (one of those)

i know some top cubers can do it (though they dont do it for every case i believe)
rowan for example i heard can do it

another question, what do you guys think about R-OLL? worth learning? seems it would be useful in predicting PLL

What's R-OLL? Never heard of it =/

Err, no. You get given a scramble and your job is to construct a solution WITH a cube at hand.

@RyanReese

Can't hurt to try, I've read through it before and it looks useful.

5x5:
I average anywhere from 3:50 to 4:30;

Centers: 55-1:10
Edges: 2:00-2:30
3x3: 40-50? It's hard to turn the outer layers on my 5x5

What to work on?

everything. the 3x3 phase is particularly bad

 

[HavoCentral]

is this puzzle actually rare?

this

 

[ahmedkl]

what does DIY and DY mean ?

 

[EricReese]

DIY means Do It Yourself. Don't know about DY though.

 

[HavoCentral]

Personally I have never seen a DY cube. But I think it is an abbreviation for Dayan. Like ShengShou is SS and Lan Lan is LL Or Alpha is just A.

I think it would be good to either start a new thread for this or find one that's dedicated to parity algorithms, as this thread has kinda turned into a 'google this for me, I'm lazy' thread.
