The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[Akash Rupela]

Hi, i just got into learning how to solve big cubes(4x4 to 7x7), I wanted to ask what do you guys suggest for 6x6? When I was trying on my own, i paired the edges completely at a time until i was left with last 2 and fixed the parity. Then when i searched a youtube tutorial, They first pair only inner edges and then solve like 5x5. I was wondering which is faster(better)? Obviously, i dont have any problem with any of the methods as such, just want some expert advice on what should i adapt to.

Learn freeslicing. Search it on youtube.

Basically your E slice (or M if you prefer) always remains un..restored (centers should be done btw). Just pair up all the edges for one ...set, and then move that to the top layer or bottom layer, pair up another set, move that to the top or bottom (I rotate to always move the crap to the top)

When all 8 slots of the top/bottom are filled, restore the centers, do the final edges via 2 pairing and solve.

Is it worth it to do things like f R f' rather than B U B' or y R U R'? (F2L)

For me, doing f R f' takes too much of a regrip and I might as well just rotate

f? what the f? dont use

V-cube 5x5 or MF8 Gigaminx
Got some birthday money

Are you asking what it is or are you trying to advise him not to use it?

 

[Akash Rupela]

i m trying to advise him not to use it (read f=**** before the 2nd questionmark and normal before the 1st ). Regrips do ruin solves

Good site to learn how to avoid bad F2L cases?

i am planing to do a average of 1000 during my vacation, is there a good timing program that saves my times if i shut down my computer?

Prisma puzzle timer is good

You can't really say what ruins solves when you average 32 seconds...

cubetimer.com is pretty good and you can do as many solves as you want and it will take the average from them.

Whats the best site for getting oll and pll algorithms?

 

[Tao Yu]

I think it is cubefreak.net because it has multiple algs for each case and clicking on any alg links you to a application showing the alg on a virtual cube. if you don't like the algs a youtube search can't hurt. It also gives some advice on finger tricks.
But thats just my opinion.

They should both be good, but the transparent one is not competition legal.
