The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

Just wondering, how many algs would it take to solve the whole last layer with one alg? I know it would be a ridiculous amount, way too much to ever learn since just ZBLL is like a couple hundred algs, but I'm just curious as to how many different algs there would be.

So, no last layer control? (ie all OLLs possible?)

if i average 30 secs, how long should it take me to do each step for CFOP?

did the cubesmith 5x5 sticker size changed since 2008?

@gumdamslicer: 5 sec cross, 10-15 sec f2l, 5 sec oll, 5 sec pll. Something like that.

14-17 sec f2l

i do a lot of 3x3 and get 22-24 averages, a do a little 2x2 7-9 averages (ortega), a do some 4x4 and get 2:15 avg, so what is a reasonable 5x5 time?
note: i do not do much 5x5 at all.

why average of 5 usually faster than average of 12 ?

Not really sure, but maybe 4 minutes? I average 1:17ish for 4x4 and 2:15ish for 5x5.

It's much easier to get 5 good solves in a row (or 4 good out of 5) than 12 (or 10 out of 12) good ones. More solves = more chances for a slower than average solve.

I'm not very familiar with the +2 and DNF for magic, and WCA regs don't explain it very well, can somebody please tell me?

 

[MrIndianTeen]

+2 is where only one of the panels is flipped and not is the solved position

DNF if basically where the whole magic is just stacked up into a 1x4 block.

There are a lot of new 5x5 out at lightake that are quite cheap. Does anyone know how good these are compare to V cubes?

okay i got ignored so again? i ordered a DIY (my first) guhong from i cube mart when i got it and assembled it all i didnt get a core? is this normal for DIYs or was mine a mess up? thanks

 

[MrIndianTeen]

2nd is probably a QJ 5x5

3rd is a YJ 5x5

This is not normal. If you contact the seller they'll probably send you one.
Wait, how do you assemble it without a core?

I mean the first link.

 

[MrIndianTeen]

maybe ghosthand because of the shades of the stickers

You couldn't have assembled it without a core (at least not into anything that resembles a rubik's cube that doesn't fall apart as soon as you pick it up without using glue/tape or something similar). The core is what you screw the center pieces into (well, i guess you don't screw the center pieces directly into the core, you screw the screws into the core, after sticking them through the spring, washer, and center piece), which holds the entire cube together. You must be confusing the core for something else. If you could take a picture or two, it would help to identify your problem (if, in fact, you have any problem at all).
