that sucks, cuz my thing I do, makes my cube wayyyy better for about 30 minutes.


Also are there any FII mods to reduce lockups? Like rounding the edge and corner stalks.

Mind sharing?
You could try sanding the very tips of the corners.

what are the gifts like from icubemart on orders over $40?

Bump.

disassemble, set tension, lube, assemble

Can anybody help me complete this list of 4x4 cubes and their size?:

Eastsheen - 6cm
MiniQJ - 6cm
XCube - 6cm

Is there any other way to load money onto your paypal account without using Greendot Moneypak? Literally almost every link on google leads me to horror stories about them scamming you and losing money, and how it doesn't work.

Bump, and also: I want to get the a Lubix Guhong, but I don't have the money for an Elite, so I'm thinking about getting the Ultimate. How much better is the Elite? Is it worth it? Is the Ultimate just a Guhong lubed with lubix?

 

[PowerCuber]

The ultimate is not a ton better then a regular lubixed guhong, but there is a noticeable difference. The ultimate turns faster, cuts better, and it's a little smoother. I got the ultimate because I'm pretty bad at applying lubix myself. From what I heard, there isn't a $15 worth different between the ultimate and the elite. I guarantee you that you will be happy with the ultimate.

you can join your credit/debit card to your paypal account and whenever paypal needs money for paying, it just takes it... the ultimate and elite are modded, it has 48 point edge mod, I think Ultimate is good enough, but I'm not that great cuber

If I come up with my own method to solve a puzzle with no prior knowledge of the puzzle, does it count as an intuitive solve?

I don't have one, because I'm 14, and I don't want to keep using my parents credit cards. I want to add the money with cash.

I know this guy who always scrambles my cube the same way(see photo). He prides himself on being able to keep the same colors from being next to each other (guess diagonals don't count in his book), and almost always remarks at how I can't do it faster after so many times. So besides undoing his moves and just getting faster(which I'm working on), is there anything I could do?

 

[Julian]

Challenge him to solve a computer-scrambled cube faster than you. Unless he IS faster than you.

 

[Tbone_tbl]

No he doesn't know how, so I always have that on him. But if there is a faster way, I figure it wouldn't hurt to learn it.

Have you tried getting a faster solution on Cube Explorer?

Does the color of the Guhong matter?
I have a white guhong, and my friend has a black one. I'm sure that we both have the ABS version.
Both of them are lubed with lubix, but mine turns significantly better.

So I asked another friend about this. He did an experiment where he took 3 black guhongs and 3 white guhongs(all ABS).
He set them on 3 different tension levels, and found out that the white ones do turn a lot better than the black ones.

So my question is, why is this? What's is different about the white and black guhongs beside their color?

Where did the break occur?

The Center Piece off the black cylinder where screw and spring are kept I unscrewed it off

 

[tx789]

Has anyone ideas how to meld two piece together my QJ megaminx dark purple center snapped off and I want to repair it rather than buying a new one.

Just so the last post by me makes sense

I have a question regarding an algorithm for this OLL case:

Would someone who uses R U B' U' R' U R B R' be so kind as to explain how you execute it effectively?

 

[EricReese]

I just use S (R U R' U') R' F R f'

Its super fast. But for that sort of rotate it. Do the B' with left pinky then coming back doown do the U' R' U then go up again and do the R, then flick your index for the B move, then bring down your hand for the R'.


I still recommend my alg..

Tilt the cube slightly for B moves and do it U-ish.

As others have said, it's like doing an x' move, start with your right fingers on the U face (and left fingers on the d face) and wrist the R and use your index finger for the U, then use your left index finger for the B', and use your right thumb to push up on the U',reposition your hand so your right fingers are now on the D face and do the R' U R B R' all with your right hand without any regrips. It's one of my favourite algs.
If you rewrote it with an x' turn it looks like this: R F U' F' R' F R U R'

What's is different about the white and black guhongs beside their color?

I've not heard it mentioned in regards to Guhongs but a common issue is that to save money sometimes factories just use a mess of random (including recycled) plastics, but this only works for Black or it's too noticeable when you look at it (it's not got consistent colour), with White the plastic has to be pure or you can really tell. So it's possible that the white Guhongs just have better quality plastic.
