The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[Narraeson]

Joël van Noort has a very good Old Pochmann text tutorial. If you're more of the video type of person, badmephisto has an Old Pochmann video tutorial. If you want to learn M2, Eric Limeback has an M2/Old Pochmann video tutorial. Or, if you want to learn 3OP, Macky has an excellent 3OP text tutorial.

I mean a memorization method, but I'll look into these

What type of batteries does that QJ timer uses? The model of the batteries that came with it is AG10, but when I went to Zeller's yesterday, the models of the cell batteries are like 3-digits(like 123, 567...). What batteries do I buy for the timer?

Is there a way for me to loosen my Qj or mini QJ? It's not necessarily mine. Its Ryans. However it has about 2 degrees of corner cutting. I would like to loosen this a bit...

 

[cuberkid10]

In the core is 1 screw, but only loosen it a TINY bit.

(I believe its) 30 weight shock oil on Dayan 4x4...good or bad idea?

EDIT: I have a question. I'm going to try getting into another puzzle/event soon, should I go for 5x5x5, Square-1 or BLD?

I say BLD and 5x5x5 together. Learn 5x5x5 first, get the algs you need to fix final pairing problems/parity and then learn BLD. BLD takes time getting used to, and if you want to take a break from learning it then you can practice 5x5x5.

Are Ghosthand 5x5 and V-Cube 5x5 pieces interchangeble?

Probably. The Ghosthand is already good, so I wouldn't bother.

It doesn't have a screw+spring structure.

 

[EricReese]

It does have the screw on the core. I loosened that and its better now. Still need an answer to whether shock oil is a good idea or not. I remember it making ryans QJ turn good. RIght now my Dayans outer layers are rough. Not super rough but its just enough so I hurt my right index finger from turning it too much. It's in pain right now typing this. I was either going to try shock oil or possibly sand down all the edge pieces. So I'm looking for an easier alternative. Doing a few hundred solves to break it in more is going to be a little out of the question right now.

Could you please watch this video and tell me what you think of it. I have worked all week on it and need your opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4pboR_OtDw

 

[TiLiMayor]

I dont really like big sized cubes, the nearer to 6cm the better, so any recommendation on a 4x4 and 5x5 besides eastsheen and Qj? Im looking foward good cubes.

 

[cuberkid10]

4x4: X-cube, Shengshou, Maru (Slightly bigger than 6cm), or Ghosthand II

 

[ilikecubing]

@cuberkid10

what about dayan + mf8 4x4?

 

[danthecuber]

4x4: X-cube, Shengshou, Maru (Slightly bigger than 6cm), or Ghosthand II

You also forgot QJ. To answer the question, I think it comes down to the x-cube or dayan, but personal preference plays a big role too.

What mech is the ghosthand 4x4 and where can I find it?

Is the shengshou the only priced under $15? and does its core misaligns like the maru?

 

[uberCuber]
