My Shengshou/Ghosthand II 4x4 pops all the time. It's set at factory tensions and not lubed. I have no idea...

Bump

The first two say it solves OLL and PLL parity simultaneously. Do they actually do that?

it would be more correct to say that it changes OLL and PLL parity simultaneously. If you have both, then the alg will solve both. But if you just have OLL parity and don't have PLL parity, then after doing that alg, you would have PLL parity.

Anyone from UK ordered directly from Verdes? Just wondering on delivery times. I'm interested in the Black Collection (2x, 2x pillowed, 5x, 6x, 7x) but am impatient and wondering whether to get the 6x and 7x from Puzl.co.uk for now for faster delivery.

Does anyone have a link to FP algs for pyraminx?

does anyone know how to get caps off a mefferts pyraminx? one of the sides lost a ball bearing AND is super loose, and i would like to tighten it.

Been gone a while and noticed dan went from answering every question to asking a lot of stupid ones,

How long is his ban? Does anyone know?

Pull it really hard. It does hurt but it should come off. After that it comes off too easily and you can accidentally pull it off in a solve.

Ok, ive tried pulling on it as hard as i can, even dissasembling the top layer, standing on it, and pulling on it but its still on there good and is basically just making it looser. any other ideas?

Must got alot of super glue put in it at the factory. Mine came off with a little bit of problem. Try Hot Water? http://www.ehow.com/video_17787_remove-super-glue.html

I just ordered a 5x5 and it took 3 days.

Thanks for the feedback mate. Even with my impatient constitution 3 days has to be worth the wait for that bundled price

 

[amostay2004]

Same here. When I was in London I ordered a V-5 and it came in 3 days

In competition,how do DNFs affect the final average?

If you have one DNF its taken as the worst solve. More than one makes the average DNF

 

[ilikecubing]

thanks,and if there are +2s

how do i make my mf8+dayan 4x4 faster？the outerlayer turns really slow

Inf3rno is correct unless the event you're comeptong in uses a mean of three instead of an average of five. I believe one DNF in a MO3 cause the mean to be a DNF. That's big cubes though. I don't think it applies to anything else atm.

Edit: +2's make no difference other than adding two seconds to the solve. If you get five of them then each solve is penalized by an additional two seconds. In theory somebody could DNF a solve and have +2's on the rest and still break the WR average.

Put maru lube on the outer layers and lube the core with lubix. Trust me

i did..but it's still slow.the inner layer is ok..
