The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

For the first time ever I tried ordering from Lightake. In the receipt that came in my email under description it said "Additional Payment for Lightake Order" instead of listing all the cubes that I ordered. I'm just wondering if this is correct and all the cubes that I ordered are included because usually when I order cubes from other places (even popbuying) it lists what was included in my order.

So in the end, did the LingYun end up being worse than the GuHong?
Ive noticed that no one really talks about the linkgyun anymore since it was released, and everyone talks about the guhongs and ultimate guhongs, in stead of ultimate lingyun.

It pops D:

I seriously love my lingyun much more than my guhong. It actually never pops on me.
Everyone has certain preferences.

my lingyun pops like crazy, doing simple things, like R U algs and such, its annoying. Wasnt the lingyun supposedly made to reduce pops. looool

Lingyun is to AV as Guhong is to F-II.

Not sure I understand that...where's the comparison between Lingyun to Guhong? (or was that the point...)

My AV has recently been locking on me a LOT more than it used to. It has also taken to popping an edge during R U' R. I suspect it may be time for relubing?

I have tried many different tensions, from tight to loose.
and to test the tensions i did sexy move cycles and R U' R fingertricks.
No matter the tension, it pops alot.

Lingyun is crispier and guhong is smoother.

What's the fastest method or Orienting corners? (bld)

I'm starting to learn BLD. I understand the old pochmann method, I understand the memo, but how would you go about practicing it? Currently I'm just memorizing 2 edges, executing, memorizing 2 edges, executing, rinse, repeat. Is there a more efficient way I could be practicing?

 

[freshcuber]

I'm figuring out all my memo for edges, writing it down, and then solving by looking at the memo and keeping the cube under the table.

I would move to memorizing 4 edges, executing, memorizing 4 edges, executing, rinse, repeating. Then 6, etc. Tip: Try cutting down on memo time and go directly into execution after going over the sequence once or twice. You'll find you won't forget it because it's fresher in your mind.

After cleaning

 

[freshcuber]

Take it down to the core and clean it all out as best you can. After doing this my cube cuts 45 unlubed

Is this 4x4 any good?

Is this 4x4 any good?

Some people have talked about it. Namely in this thread From what I hear its just another 4x4 on the market. Nothing special about it.
