lol, i tried do do Nb instead by doing the other J perm, and it did a Y.

Considering how fast my J perms are, I might use my newly discovered Y perm instead.



I'm fairly sure most 2x2 are the same size, or within a few mm. So I would think that they would fit.

But the thing is that there are two sizes of stickers Eastsheen and Rubik's. A few mm off is huge amount in a 2x2x2 cube
The only thing I know is that neither will fit the pillowed version.

How do you know that?

As you can see it uses irregular stickers

What part is irregular? They just look like normal stickers on curved plastic to me.

How do the stickers fit then if they are normal? It wouldn't go on so evenly.

Ahh, just looked at my V7 corners, you're probably right.

Since the only response you got was about teraminxes I'll help you out. C4U makes the only gigaminx. The first version was terrible from what I've heard and the second version is better but still has some problems. I such at megaminx. I hate practicing it because I often spend ten seconds spinning it around waiting to find the piece I need. I'm not sure what your times would be but about 30 minutes is a good estimate I'd say. Assuming you can find your pieces haha

If you really enjoy megaminx then getting a gigaminx wouldn't be a bad idea. It's only going to be a waste of money if you don't ever use it.

Des anyone besides me think that a pillowed 2x2 is pointless?

Define pointless.:rolleyes:

 

[Juju]

The pillowed 2x2 is clearly not going to be as good for speed-solving as the regular one. It's a nice collection piece though. I'd like to have one.

Yeah can't take credit for this one got it from Weston but a great alg nonetheless

2 Questions:

1) For the E-perm, could I just do [T-perm] U2 [T-perm], or should I go for a specific E-perm alg?

2) There's a kid at school that wants to buy a 3x3x3 from me. I have two cubes that I'm willing to sell: one is a Rubik's storebought, lubed, well broken-in, and has Cubesmith stickers, and the other is this, not broken-in but with Cubesmith stickers and lubed. What would be a good selling price for these?

Maybe 5 dollars for the Type A because it is not broken in and obviously not that great to start out with. Maybe 8 dollars for the Rubiks considering that it is broken in and that takes a lot of time.

i do the oll for the 4th one here and then 6th one here: (for now until i learn something faster... i didnt want to learn this one yet) http://cubewhiz.com/oll.html this switches the corners on the left and the corners on the right.

I would personally learn an E perm as it would give you another way to manipulate the cube. Although if memorising algs is tricky for you, cube manipulation through previously learnt algorithms works just as well. This can be applied to most cases but one obviously has to take into consideration the move count for learning the generic algorithms which would inevitably be more efficient and can be picked to pick you cubing style/desired finger tricks.

1, @Clayy9 what is the cube in the link you posted above like?? (Type A Cube DIY Kit 1st gen Black cube) Is it worth the money?
2, how long does it take to see a noticeable time difference going from 'LBL & 2 look OLL + PLL' to 'intuitive F2L & 2 look OLL + PLL'?
Thank you
EXI, Excuse the ignorance

It's certainly less pointy

 

[Olji]

true dat xD

pretty much instantly, since your times go down, but when you gets faster with f2l than LBL is about how much you practice, didnt time myself when changing, but maybe from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, depending on how frequently you practice

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Today I totally forgot how to do my Na permutation, which I've been using for over a year.
I always hated that case so I guess its time to try learning a new one. Any suggestions? I suck at L moves, so please no algs with Ls in them.

Check the Wiki.

how do u solv a rubix cube

?

ty,

goatseforever

Google it.

I live in India,does anyone have an idea that which cubestore has the fastest shipping to my country,i have a compeition on the 27th of this month and i have broken my 2x2 and i need a new square 1

Look at the sticker themselves, dude...

MF8 is making a gigaminx.

I was around 1:45 when using LBL + 2look oll and PLL, but after switching to intuitive F2l, my average has dropped to about 39 seconds

DUDE, why so harsh? you might as well had used LMGTFY instead of saying google it
