Any ideas? I'm thinking FV can be five, though if possible I'd like another one

How about fav, as in favorite?
Or maybe Brett Favre.

Took that as my BF, had bonfire before-didn't like that. They need to be objects, something you can actually see in your head.

I switched to the mobile skin for the forum and I can't find the menu to change it back. Any help please?

Ive had the same issue when I used speedsolving on my mobile but got accustomed to, yuu changed it on the pc or in yuur mobile?

OLLCP anyone? I can't find it anywhere..

KP alternative: King kooPA?

Question: My F2L SUUUUUUCKS (Cross + F2L = 40 seconds, LL = under 20). I seem to have trouble on the "tricker" F2L cases.

I've been trying to get some discipline by eliminating cube rotations. To that end, how do you guys feel about practicing F2L with the same colour facing you all the time (and never doing y rotations).

Useful idea or stupid idea?

 

[Godmil]

I tried that for a while (only doing a cube rotation for a flipped edge, and then rotating back to my default position) it helped me get used to performing the f2l algs from different orientations. I wouldn't give up on cube rotations all together - it can be quicker to do a rotation than some of the no-rotation insertion algs, I guess it's a case of just trying to minimise them (try going through some example solves by the really fast cubers to see some good F2L techniques).

2 questions.
1) Is it worth replacing the stock Guhong core with a C4Y core? I've got a couple extras lying around and I've heard that the Guhong cores don't last long. (Just as an FYI, I've had my Guhong about 2 months, and it's not my main 3x3.)
2) After disassembling my Dayan+MF8 4x4 and lubing the inner most white core the inner edges are amazing smooth, however the outer layers now seem extra crappy (I'm assuming this is just due to how amazing the inner layers feel now). What's the best way to help smooth out my outer edges? Is it just a matter of breaking it in, or is there a mod or lube trick I can do to help make them smoother?

Thanks in advance

If you don't have a reason to replace the core, I wouldn't bother. Some people have had initial problems putting together GuHong DIY's (one of the screws not taking) but if it already works then you should be fine.

I applied lubix to the core of my dayan guhong and i think it has become quite sticky from inside and has become slightly harder to turn than before.Is it because i applied more than needed.what should i do now?

Yuu should work he lube for a while, then it will come as it should.

Clean it out and reapply it. You need a very small amount.

Same problem. Inners are awesome but my outers really hold back my 3x3 phase.

I use roman rooms, 2 images per location, with letter pairs I can hold 4 pieces per location.

Should I add like GG/QQ letters to my list? When transitioning from corners to edges I might have this issue (obviously on only corners/only edges I can't run into this issue).

I'd rather not cut the location short by only having 1 image in there or something like that..

 

[freshcuber]

By only having one image you'll know when to use parity. Depending on how many rooms you have prepared I wouldnt worry about it unless you're going to do a lot of multibld.

Edit: what'd you think of King kooPa for KP?

 

[sa11297]

is sara's toy store a realiable site? i lost some pieces from my v cube 6 and the store is selling some.

yep i bought from them

 

[Cool Frog]

Ugh..I thought 'no cube rotations' implied no AUFs as well..I already know those algs..

OK we can work with that....
FUF'U'x2 B' UFU'F'x2 B

Just now decided to use KP KooPa. So thanks

I'm planning on doing A LOT of multi, but this will be for 4x4x4/5x5x5 BLD too if I can understand commutators for big cubes.

So should I make GG/QQ etc?
