Never heard it refered to as Alpha(Type A). Thats the part that confused me(Thought it meant earlier version)

Can alpha screws fit in a dayan lingyun core?

 

[bigbee99]

They are the same because the Alpha company used to be called Type A.

I lost my times for a forum comp that I did last night. Do you think me doing the same scrambles again today is considered cheating? Usually even when I do the same scramble twice in a row I do worse the 2nd time.

I need some good N Perms (both N-a and N-b). I was wondering if anyone knew any besides the ones listed on the wiki that were somewhat good.

For doing the cross, when getting a case where 3 pieces are solved, and the piece (orange-white) that is not solved is in the front-top position. Solving for white, and white of the edge is facing you, orange on top. The orange center is below the white part of the edge. Is this what most people would do/is this the fastest way to insert it?: U' x R' U R If not, what is a better way? Thanks.

I do U' R' F R.

I think thats faster than
y' R u R' u'

and

U M' U' M

xD

The internal mechanism literally comes out of alignment every 3 turns. I KNOW it could be a lot better. What can I do?

Does Lightake have skewbs? Could you provide a link if you know. I have been searching for a while but I can't find any. I've found master skewbs, but not regular ones.
Thanks.

They used to have lanlan, QJ, and ghosthand, but not anymore i guess. you could try contacting them and seeing if they have any left

You could just not enter the forum comp >_>
It's not like it will change your life in any way.

Are there any Iphone apps with F2L algs that are good?

I guess I should rephrase this: 'Should a Lingyun DIY kit come with a Lingyun box?'

Some do, some don't.

(Most come with one)

westonian has one but dont use x cross unless its a really easy one until you aare sub 20

 

[thackernerd]

For about 2 months I've been stuck in the 30,31,32 range and i really want to become sub 20. My cross takes 5 seconds my f2l takes about 11 and my LL takes about 14 because i still use the beginners method for LL. I'm trying to memorize full OLL and full PLL, but I've just been to lazy. I was watching thrawst's zhanchi review and he said it wouldn't really help you until your sub 20 so I'm thinking about getting one from SCS and not even opening the box until i get a sub 20 average of 12 to motivate me to memorize them. Do you think that's a good idea? Any tips to get faster would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
