Names of Puzzles in French

I have a French writing assessment soon, and I wanted to put the names of puzzles in. However, I don't know the written names in French. Here are the puzzles:

Rubik's Cube
2x2x2 Cube
Pyraminx
4x4x4 Cube
Megaminx
Rubik's Magic

Could anyone help?
I know of another old thread like this, but that doesn't have all the puzzle names I want.

So you thought you'd better start a new thread so these names can't be found in the old thread?

Here's a french site with names:

So they're just the same as in English? Thanks.

I don't think they translated the names.... French people (from France) are the worst at translating stuff. They still use "mail" for "email", "parking", "shopping", "week-end"... I've got nothing against France though! Our culture is different here in Québec, we tend to translate everything. And speedcubing isn't big in Québec, so we didn't translate them.

3x3x3 is "Cube Rubik"
2x2x2 Cube is "Pocket"
Pyraminx is "Pyraminx"
4x4x4 Cube is "Revenge"
5x5x5 Cube is "Professor"
Megaminx is "Mégaminx" (they added the accent)
Rubik's Magic is probably still called "Magic"

Just tell your teacher in your paper/essay that like I said, French people don't translate the names since they use a lot of "anglicismes" (I have no idea what this is in English), hence why you have to name them in English.

That is a COLL rather than an OLL: R U2' R D R' U2' R D' R2
It is the inverse of the popular <R,U,D> "Headlights" OLL, a 3-cycle A9 commutator.
In the video it's performed OH as: R U2' R z' R U' z U2' R z' R' z R2'

So, would anyone be interested if I sold modded ShengShou 5x5s? I know the mod takes about 3 hours, maybe 2 if you can do it quickly, more if you use only sandpaper; so I figured this would interest people who don't like to take that much time to mod cubes, but I would like to see what others think.

Depending on the price, but if it was within 10-15 bucks of the original price and I didn't already have one, probably.

I would like to see a demo video of it

Is there any cube solver or alg generator that works for mac?

I got my Alpha CC yesterday, and I have now tested all setups and various tensions. If anyone want's to know, I use the extra edge pieces with both screws, and tension is at medium I would say. However, I did not try the other set of springs. The ones tha are not in there are silver, so I assume I got it assembled with the black ones. Can anyone tell me what's the difference between the two. As far as I understand, the black ones are better, but I don't know why that is.

dayan zhanchi quality?

Hello! I just got my new white dayan zhanchi in the mail today. One thing I noticed was that the white face had been changed to back and the logo has been moved to the yellow face. Has anybody else ever noticed this before in the new zhanchis? Also, I can see the seams where they put the bits of plastic together to form the cubies and some of them don't seem exactly perfectly put together. Is this normal for a zhanchi? Also, when I turn any of the faces in one direction slowly, I can really hear the springs creaking. Is this also normal among zhanchis? What should I do about it?

I would, but since i dont live in US, shipping would be a hassel.

Among white cubes it is normal, yes.

About the pieces, try disassembling the cube and going piece by piece fixing whatever is wrong with them. Them may have extra plastic in the external gaps. Try using a paper blade (or however they're called), and scratching that plastic off.
The springs' sound... It is normal yes. Just use your cube a lot.

Just another Rubik's cube solver.
