If you touch it and your finger is black.you should clean it( not if you have a white cube^^)

If you touch it and your finger turns white, you are prob. pushing to hard.

I found there's usually just a few popular ones for each that most people use. How about posting some of the algs you're not liking and seeing what other people suggest?

I find that my E Perm is quite slow, possibly because of the regrip at "u2".
E Permutation - (y x') R U' R' D R U R' u2 R' U R D R' U' R (x')

I find that the regrip on my N perms takes up time, and I'm trying to find an alg doesn't have a regrip
N Perm (a) - L U' R U2 L' U *R'* L U' R U2 L' U R' U' - Regrip after *R'*
N Perm (b) - R' U L' U2 R U' *L* R' U L' U2 R U' L U - Regrip after *L*

I havn't really figured out how to make an alg for these R Perms, which makes them quite slow
R Perm (a) - (y2) L U2 L' U2 L F' L' U' L U L F L2 U
R Perm (b) - R' U2 R U2 R' F R U R' U' R' F' R2 U'

Anyone know how to exacute Y Perm fast?
Y Perm - F R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R F'

E perm- x (R U' R') D (R U R') u2 (R' U R) D (R' U' R)
N perm- sry only know 2look

E perm: z U2 R2 F (sexy x3) F' R2 U2 in other words: z U2 R2 F (R U R' U')3 F' R2 U2 which is the same thing. Best E perm alg IMO
N perm: don't know any/don't use
Ra perm: R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R U R U2' R' U'
Rb perm: R' U2 R U2 R' F R U R' U' R' F' R2 U' (same)
Y perm: I regrip after the first F' and last U'. I do the last F' with my right thumb.

First, for N perm, do a z and then do the rotated alg... the RUD one is very fast (I can sub 1 it easily)

Also, ksolve question. Here is the output of running something:

Any idea what that means? It quits right afterwords

If you took apart an F-II and lubed the pieces with CRC, will it melt the plastic or basically ruin the cube?

It would probably degrade the plastic slightly. With mine, it was still usable but definitely not as good as it was before I had lubed it.

LSE and second block IMO...

Thanks. I figured those could use some tuning, especially since I used to average ~2 second LSE. Probably just got worse when I noticed I needed to work on my blocks.
I've always sucked at second block, though. Which do you think I should work on especially? (And how?)
Me thinks: Reduce pausing during second block, turn moar fastz for LSE.

Don't take my words as a definite answer (I use jig-a-loo), but as far as I know, and from what I've heard, it shouldn't as long as you don't overlube it, leave it too long, and not work it in.

EDIT
has anybody tried it?

I WANT to try www.likiti.com, but, I haven't been able to get the page to load for the past week and a half or so. Does anyone else have the same problem?

What Is the most important to learn all the algorithims for f2l oll or pll?

Do f2l intuitively. Look at the algs if you want, but really really understand what's going on, pairing corners with edges, the inserting them. Try making up your own too.

Learn 2look oll and 2 look PLL. Once you know that, learn all the plls before all the olls.

Yeah I know... seems to be like another pickegg and lightake copy... could be a scam... though their prices and range are pretty decent although their naming system is quite shoddy

Ok, I figured that I really like the shengen f3's stickers, their quite small and are really easy to recognise for me (the colours), on my zhanchi I have cubesmith, they're bigger and a different colour (cubesmith standard), where can I get some more shengen 3x3 stickers? I like them.

*edit, I only like the colour of stickers and size, I hear the quality is horrible, where can I buy stickers with good quality and relatively same colour and size?

 

[ernie722]

wats better the dayan 4x4 or the shengshou 4x4 v3???

 

[EeeeeWarne]

Depends if you like smaller or bigger 4x4s. The Dayan is large (too big if you ask me) while the ShengShou is nice and small. The ShengShou is awesome out of the box, while the Dayan needs to be pulled apart and fully lubed, and you need to sacrifice a lanlan 2x2 to make it decent. The Dayan also pops. I prefer the ShengShou, but many people prefer the Dayan.

However, the Mini Dayan + mf8 4x4 is supposed to pop less and be nice and small. However, on price alone, the ShengShou wins.

 

[CRO]

It's mosty personal preference, but I think that a properly lubed and well used DaYan is better..

Does anyone have any links to a comprehensive 6 pair insertion at once with a 4x4?
