Is there a cube simulator a la hi-games that can do an M slice move without doing something like L R' x?

Hey icubetime.
I just wanted to ask before ordering, do you guys deliver to Malaysia (Southeast asia)
If so, how long would the delivering take?

For EO on roux, should i learn the direct algs first or just learn the cycling algs first?

Hey can some one tell me what cube is this?
http://www.dinodirect.com/Mini-Brain-Teaser-Magic-Cube-2-x-2-x-2.html?cur=GBP

Doesnt look like a ghost hand or wittwo, it's original price is $8.99
It's an offer and i won it for free

Paypal isn't coming back. Google Checkout is just as safe and reliable. You don't even need to register, it's just like checking out with Paypal. You don't need to worry about your credit card information being compromised.

IMO google checkout is used less than pay pal... I started using pay pal and don't want to switch to google now simply because it's too inconvenient

can you please suggest a good tutorial for 4x4 and 5x5

Just browse youtube on how to solve them..

The direct algorithms are usually the exact same as the whole cycling sequence. If you learn the cycles and practice you'll start executing them like one single algorithm since it's so easy to predict the next cycle.

Does anyone know the "parity" alg for the mefferts vulcano (the one that switches two edges)? I remember someone had posted it in the Random Cubing Discussion thread, but I forgot the alg and I can't seem to find it any more.

Probably not but I find doing LwL'/Lw'L just as fast as pressing a single key if you press both at the same time.

Is it normal for a zhanchi to feel almost sticky? I just lubed it like you would with lubix and made sure I didn't overlube or anything. I put in 50k diff oil and I've been working it in constantly for 3 days (~500 solves maybe?).

Each G perm has a probability of 1/18 and there are four of them so: 4*(1/18) = 0.22^. It means that around 1 of every 5 PLLs you get, is a G perm.

I did roughly 200 solves today and over 3/5 were G perms.... I think it's a sign that I should start learning them.

Oh yeah I kind of forgot about wide turns on sim. I feel stupid now. An M move would still be nice, but this is a good alternative. Thanks.

I don't have a screwdriver that fits in any of my cubes. My LanLan 2x2 popped and I'm very close to finishing reassembly but I can't fit the last piece in because I don't have a screwdriver to loosen the tensions. I NEED HELP. D:

 

[CubeLTD]

A sharp knife works.. A sharp scissor works too.

Are you trying to put in the corner or inner edge? If you're trying to put in the corner, insert that first and then the edge. For the edge, as said above, knife/scissor/pen works.

 

[Jaycee]

I put the corner in last (watched "thebackflipmaster"'s video tutorial" And holy crap! I used a big steak knife and it worked!

I tensioned the whole cube.... I love this 2x2 even more than I did before.

At what average times should i look into learning full oll and pll

 

[Jaycee]

^ Whenever you want. Some people are sub-15 and don't know full OLL. Many are sub-20 and don't know the G-perms.

 

[Cubetastic]

Ok, I will learn full pll and then start learning f2ll 26 algs for for oll is better than 57 in my opinion
