What is the better megaminx Qj, mefferts, or mf8?

It's all a matter of opinion. Many people think the Mefferts is a tiny bit better, but it costs like $20 more. If you want a nice cheap one, go for the QJ or mf8 (V2 for both).

This most obvious questions yet:

How do you turn a cube faster? (like > 5 tps)

Look ahead to stay consistently fast. Besides that, learn cool fingertricks for algs which are very fast.

fingertricks. look them up. also practice doing R U R' U' over and over again. Also practice your algorithms and stuff like that and just focus on getting faster with accurate turning

Towards this question, For Anti-sune, I put sticker on FL. Easy enough.
For Sune, I do the same(FL) except i kinda hold the cube at an angle when im finishing the second block i can see the R side of the cube aswell. So not technically a cube rotation. That way i see the case, then execute.
Waffles puts it on BL, then most algs start with FL, so you have to do a U', then execute.
Do you understand?

gotcha. I'm going to play around with generating images for FR, and see if that'd be easier to identify with... playing with all 6 cases (6 cubes all setup differently) right now. much easier to see.

Let me know how it turns out!

What does it mean to "roll" or "non roll"? I see people saying "A non rolling average of 5" and I don't get what that means.

A non-rolling average of 12, let's say, is just doing 12 solves. A rolling average of 12 is any 12 consecutive solves inside a larger group of solves, for example the best avg12 in an avg100.

Let's say you do 5 solves. That's obviously an average of 5. You do one more solve. Solves 2-6 are now your current Ao5. By doing that sixth solve, you just "rolled" the average. Solves 6-10 would be your next "non rolling average". I've never liked the term; I feel as though an average is an average and there's no point in calling it a rolling average.

How do you modify the guhong edges to fit zhanchi torpedoes? I don't want to modify the torpedoes.

lol i actually want to do this the other way around i want to put the lubix guhong torpedos to the zhanchi.
now im guessing its not possible because the zhanchi torpedos are bigger than the space that could be made from the guhong v1. but again im guessing

You can use waffles tutorial, I think he uses screws instead. Apparently they work the same way

Why was this thread closed? I think discussing religion is great, especially because I grew up Muslim and had the religion forced upon me.

I want to know a good alg for "U-perm" at a pyraminx!

I don't think U-perm is the right word, but I think you know what I mean

R' L R L U L U' - which I execute as R' L R L [L] R L R'

Just use the mirror for the other one.

Thank you so much! Excactly what I was looking for.

I'm only new to cubing and can do the beginner method in about 1min 30. Iv just learnt friedrich f2l, and i seem to be really slow now, is this normal? and is the there anyway to practice this to improve on this?

Yes, it is very normal!

I think that happen for most cubers.

Solve slowly and try to see what is happening, try to lookahead and stuffs like that

sweet, thankyou
