The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

If you want to. Start with your opposite colour (white-yellow) - that would be a good start.

Imo that's not the way to become CN. Then you're just practicing semi-CN, which isn't what we want. I think you should just go cold turkey. It'll definitely be harder, but it sets a better habit.

I average around 20 - 25 seconds with F2l (intuitive) , 2 Look OLL and Full PLL. I usually solve the cross in 4 - 5 seconds. Should I start learning colour neutrality?

The sooner the better.

The above two posts are perfect answers. If you're going to switch it's better that you do it now because it only gets harder the faster you are (IMO)! And I recommend just going with no color bias right from the start, and not following any particular schedule. Just start choosing the best cross right away Yes of course your times will be slower at first. Good luck at becoming CN

What does 'IMO' stand for? I see it a lot nowadays and it annoys me a bit that I don't know what it means.

In My Opinion.

All of the previous posts are correct, go now it's well worth it in the end. I'd recommend you stop timing yourself for a couple of days, and focus on look ahead and starting with the best cross every time. Be sure to remind yourself during your cross what colors you're looking for in your F2L pairs, that is in my opinion the most difficult part in switching to color neutral. Another great thing about being color neutral is if you get bored with CFOP and decide to switch to Roux you'll be ver happy that you're already color neutral. Color neutral Roux is a lot of fun.

Where should I get the QJ Pyraminx? Dinodirect or Lightake? I want to order by the end of today. Thanks in advance.

For anyone who has a Meffert's megaminx with mf8 tiles, how exactly did you achieve this? Did you take the tiles off of an mf8, and glue them on a Meffert's? Because my Mefferts is great, but I love the mf8 colour scheme. :/

I think I heard somewhere you can buy MF8 tiles separately. I don't know where though.

I know I can get them from a cubing store in Malaysia, but I don't really want to pay the shipping, and I already have a tiled mf8 and a Meffert's, so I don't really see a point in buying them. Plus, they're out of stock. :/

The best way to start CN is to get familiar with all the F2L pairs of different cross colours (do a couple hundred solves on g/b, and then move on to r/o cross) and THEN only you look for easiest cross. But you must get familiar with the cross colours first. This was qq's post from somewhere a while ago.

Nope, they're just on pre-order.

I have bought from Lightake.

The only bad thing is that the shipping take very long.

How long does shipping for stickers (no puzzles) take from puzzleaddictions?

"Shipping in the USA takes approximately 2-5 business days. Shipping internationally takes approximately 5-14 days."

Cube Logos

I was just wondering, since I might be joining some competitions in some time, does a cube really need to have a logo? Because the logo on my Dayan 4x4x4 is fading off and my ShengShou 5x5x5 doesn't even have one.

No, it does not need a logo.

Please show me where you think the regs state that you need to have a logo on the cube.

guess tega

how exactly does guess tega work?
and does it preserve the edges on a 3x3x3?

Guess tega is simply a 2x2x2 BLD method. (not real method).
You do ortega SpeedBLD on 2x2 and basically guess on where the pieces would go.
