Sq-1: Vandenbergh (sp.?) Check the wiki at the top for details.

I think this is the pre-consumer test version? Or am I completely wrong

The pictute has anchors

 

[Wassaren]

Is it the second prototype maybe?

 

[uberCuber]

what speed solving method do you guys recommend for the square 1 and the pyraminx?

For pyraminx, it doesn't matter so much. You can get pretty fast with LBL with just 5 short algs (2 of which are sunes). For other possibilities, see this thread.

Is it possible to create an OCLL that doesn't affect permutation? If so can someone list the algorithms.

Edit:Nvm. Found out how xD

 

[Raiz]

how do you read the megaminx notation on the prisma puzzle timer? its weird :/

what is the usually the biggest thing to work on when averaging 15-16? For sub 20 it was look ahead but at 15-16 I think it may be more on picking up the turning speed. any thoughts, or answers?

 

[cuberkid10]

Whats your breakdown?

Well for me I simply kept solving, and it seems to be working; my times are still gradually going down.
I actually reduced my turn speed further to develop my look-ahead, especially in block-building.
Please show us a video, or tell me your breakdown or turn style...

I saw that 51morefun.com site, and it looks like they have great prices, except there v-5/6/7. But then I saw this:


When did Lanlan make a 7x7, and is it any good?

Edit: Is it a KO?

Edit2: Sorry, I didn't know that the Lanlan 7x7 was a KO, I'll delete the link.

How can I do the 48 point edge mod on the lunhui?

take the torpedoes out. then use a knife or dremel

yeah its a KO and thats why you didnt know about it

i am about to go to sleep, but I know that my Cross + F2l takes on average 10 seconds. I will have a little more info tomorrow (hopefully). I may be able to supply a video, but it may be in the form of a bunch of hand scrambles followed by the timed solve. The video will likely be unedited.

How many moves is R U R' U' M' U R U' r' in FMC?

 

[Tao Yu]

How many moves is R U R' U' M' U R U' r' in FMC?

HTM is used so 10 moves

 

[ilikecubing]

HTM is used so 10 moves

Thanks,so does that mean roux for FMC is a waste?

 

[Tao Yu]

Thanks,so does that mean roux for FMC is a waste?

Gilles Roux got an official 31 moves FMC. Here is his misc page which has a few of his tips and tricks. Non-matching blocks obviously

Not many people seem to use it though

 

[5BLD]

Thanks,so does that mean roux for FMC is a waste?

No; just means you need to be clever with double layer moves.
Gilles himself is amazing at FMC.

Walkthrough solves may be better so we can see things like solving pairs inefficiently.

as for solving pairs inefficiently, that should come as I learn special F2l algorithms, right? I plan to learn those after cll.
for the walkthrough, should I solve the first pair I see, in the manner I would in a speed solve, or look around for the best pair and always solve that?

 

[5BLD]

nah, try to work on efficiency too, intuititively. It will help with your general cubing knowledge.

As for the walkthrough, do it whichever way you normally do.
