Yea "sup" is a prefix it implies something is greater than or higher. For example, Super Man is greater than the average man. Although as I type this I'm thinking of words like supper, superlative and superstition and wondering where the relation is.

No it's not, and I don't know/remember the official name but I've heard that it's nothing spectacular.

That is not Maru Lube. It looks like the Meffert's lubricant, but with the label peeled off.

I feel as if all of the G perms are extremely awkward to perform. It's literally faster for me to just do the A then U perm... what are your favorite G perms?

Not really they tend to have double layer turns but still they arent that bad it would be faster to just learn them and if you memorize it by the way the Bar and the Headlight are and i could make a video showing how i distinguish mine if that would help just tell me. but they really arent as bad as they look once you learn them!

I have no problem with recognition. I actually think my recognition is fast. It's just that so far I've learned the clockwise ones, and they're pretty awkward to perform... I use these right now:

Ga: F2 D R' U R' U' R D' F2 L' U L

Gd: U' l2 U' L2 U' F2 L' U' R U2 L' U l

Well, I don't know Gd yet, but for Ga I (and most others) use: R2 u R' U R' U' R u' R2 y' R' U R

Stefan Huber also has a video of him executing all his G perms and his fingertricks are really smooth and he does them really fast:

1st: R2' u R' U R' U' R u' R2 y' R' U R
2nd: L2 u' L U' L U L' u L2 y L U' L'
3rd: R' U' R y R2' u R' U R U' R u' R2
4th: R U R' y' R2 u' R U' R' U R' u R2

I want to try Rubik's Cube art, but is there some kind of program that generates the photo with all the individual pixelated colors?

The only one I know of, is by RedKB on youtube. He has a video demonstrating it. I am not sure if it is available to the public but you can contact him and ask for a copy. here He says he is still working on fixing the bugs, but it should be released publicly eventually.

Also, If you have photoshop, there is a feature, don't remember what it is called, that allows you to set what colors are available to use. It could be used for this purpose, tho not sure. I remember it back from computer class.

By the look of the bottle, I would say mefferts. Tho I am not 100% sure.

FIX: I want to lubricate my cube which I bought from gamesworld, it's fairly bad. I not allowed to buy silicone spray, my brother says I am only going to use a little bit and it costs like $5 (I'm 11), so is it ok to use vaseline as a lubricant if i don't put on too much? (I know petroleum slowly breaks down the cube, that's why I am asking) If yes how much do I put on? If no, what other household item can I use? Please pm me

100% ABSOLUTELY DO NOT USE VASELINE!!! Get the silicone spray, you may only use a little bit, but you have to do it every few weeks. Off the top of my head I can't think of a single every day household item that can be used to lube a cube. I actually used gel solid deodorant back when I first started cubing, It worked pretty well and it made my cube smell good. D I used the non dry axe kind, where the deodorant is like colored and clear, not the white.

Save up and get some CRC heavy duty silicone. or you can always get a small bottle of jigaloo in the orange can. I got mine for a dollar. Hardware stores are likely to have it.

btw, in the bottom right corner of your post, there is an edit button. You do not have to double post. And in case you double posted on accident, if ou click edit on the post, and click go advanced. There is a delete post option.

Vaseline helps break in Rubik's brand cubes.

PAM no-stick pan spray or wood-floor polish works.

Ga: F2 D R' U R' U' R D' F2 L' U L

Gd: U' l2 U' L2 U' F2 L' U' R U2 L' U l

I Use these just like Stefan Huber except the second one i use R2 u' R U' R U R' u R2 y R U' R listed below!

1st: R2' u R' U R' U' R u' R2 y' R' U R
2nd: R2 u' R U' R U R' u R2 y R U' R
3rd: R' U' R y R2' u R' U R U' R u' R2
4th: R U R' y' R2 u' R U' R' U R' u R2

They are very easy to do and use! Use them they are much easier then the ones you are using and they are pretty much mirrors of eachother and very easy to learn!

not everybody (as in, not even Petrus himself) actually solves the last layer the way his site has it laid out, doing Niklas or whatever to permute corners before orienting them. Lars Petrus, and many speedsolvers, use some kind of combination of OLL/PLL and COLL/EPLL for the last layer

Sorry, I learned from the site a long time ago. The actual Petrus method according to his site involves using Niklas before corner orientation, that is what I was going by.

Where can I buy a skewb?

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Which pyraminx should I get?

QJ

what does sup mean? in like sup 100 or sup 10

What'(s up)? Nah, jk, above certain times.

My mum has this semi-melted coconut oil thing she puts on her skin and I tried it on my hands for fun. It felt really smooth and slippery everything I tried to grab slipped out of my hands. Is it okay if I lube my cube with this? It's a bit smelly though... can you please pm me? or REPLY ASAP with quote?

I wouldn't reccomend it.

Just to make sure I am doing it right.
In the first alg, is the first U done with the left hand or right. To me it seems like he is using his middle finger of right hand to like pull it or something.
