The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

I use COLL and then M slice algs for the edge permutations. If I wanted to count HTM or QTM in a solve, would turning the M slice be two moves or just one?

M is two moves in HTM and QTM.

 

[Godmil]

Though it would only be one in STM and ETM.

Which layer would you build for this scramble? I went with green.

Orange. Then antisune for LL.

Which of these is the best algorithm for CLL (case O of L/triple sune)?

I use the first.

. Like most things in cubing its personal preferance... Personly id advise to do all of them a few times and soon youll probably find one to suit you

Right in a bit of a pickle here! Just got my FII from SCS and I am wondering if I should replace the logo sicker with the SCS one, just looking for opinions here.

 

[Itchy Cacti]

Do you know which one is better for speedsolving: Rubik's, Moa, or Cubetwist?
I've seen conflicting reviews

Anyone know which clock is best?

Does anyone know if the World Championships will have live coverage on the internet?

I overlubed my 4x4 now its very slow (shenshou v3), I took an edge out to lube it and took me an hr to get back in. Should I just break in the lube or clean it out? I used like 4cc of lube or more..

 

[timeless]

are there new dayan logos (with the tm on it) on older dayan cubes like guhong, taiyan too? like did they stop producing the old logo that doesnt have the 'tm' and only backstock is left?

Just put on whatever looks nice. It doesn't matter.

WTF NO DAMMIT CLEAN IT OUT.

how? do i have to take it all apart? i had heaps of trouble putting 1 edge in lol

Cube Explorer the main alg generator?

Is Cube Explorer the main alg generator and does it work on Macs?

 

[Lucas Garron]

No and yes (with X11 and wine).

 

[StachuK1992]

People use;
CubeExplorer, ksolve, acube.
Usually, for 3x3 stuff.
At least, that's what I've used.

Just do it

Also,
Why are Edison's so expensive?

Should I be afraid to make a thread?

 

[CRO]

Should I be afraid to make a thread?

Lolno.

But use search function before it

 

[tozies24]

Lolno.

But use search function before it

Of course lol. I was considering making a thread concerning the state of the forum but I don't think we need more threads about it. But I was going to start a discussion concerning the quality of the posts and creation of threads of newer forumers. I joined the forum almost a year into my cubing career, so I already knew a lot more about cubing than most other 'new' cubers who join the forums maybe a month in or so. I think that now people expect everyone to have some knowledge or some common sense about cubing and about searching the internet. I think that you are usually going to get more information from searching the internet in general than you would if you were to ask a question about something really general here in the forum. (example: Get my f2l better HELP PLOX XD ) This is probably why people are getting upset because when they started, the internet and websites were the places that they checked first before going to the community. (Example: I went to macky's site for a lot of my algorithms and most of them were pretty good though I have switched from a few.) I don't know what the purpose of the thread would be though either, but it would probably help reveal some of the problems in fuller light than people just saying noobs need to lurk more.
