I want to know the probability of: (OLL, PLL and LL) skips in 3x3x3 cube. Somebody can help me?

PLL skip = 1/72
OLL skip = 1/216
LL skip = 1/15552 (I'm not entirely sure about this one but I think it's right)

How you all practice OLL's and PLL's cases, I mean how you get those specific cases which for which you are learnin the algorithm?

 

[Schmidt]

Do them again and again. If you do T PLL twice the cube will be solved again (this is true with all PLL, some needs 3 times and some you must rotate to get to the case again.) The same thing for OLL. If you do F R U R' U' F' 6 times it will be solved again.

What is the most popular way to solve the S2L on a megaminx? The way Simon Westlund solves it or the way LanceTheBlueKnight teaches?

Where can I find a good 3x3 generator?

40k Traxxas = Lubix?

So, I combined my 30k Traxxas with 50k Traxxas to make it 40k, do I even need to compare it to Lubix or will they be the same? Would Lubix be more slippery?

Most people do it like Simon. Lance's way is just Balint's way done from another angle and it's way too slow, compared to how Balint does it, at least.

Do the inverse. Or keep doing the alg till you get the case. Ex: Do sune 5 times. Then you get sune

I'm very much confused with the ( x,x',y,y' notations), can someone tell me how to get it?

Like this?

I made a viscosity test like 2-3 month ago and i figured that the viscisity of lubix is between 30 and 50k so a ~40k is a good estimate knowing that lubix is 40k +- 10k (30k-50k)
But it is not lubix because lubix claim that the lube is not toxic and on the traxxas bag say that it is a carcirogenic substant.
But if ur not solving the cube with ur mouth or under water there is no problem just dont eat it =P

I have assembled a new WitTwo. But I can't turn the cube. Any ideas what's wrong?

Notice on some of the edges there are little notches. Those notches fit into the centres, and all 3 have to go around the same corner or it won't turn.

Im trying to improve my turning. How can i practice that?
I tend to lock up a lot.

Turn slowly and as accurately as you can. If you need to do 1 TPS, do it. Slowly build your speed back up to normal

Best tutorial for Square-1 first time I am solving it?

I used Thrawst's video and Algorithm sheet for beginners. I think most people who compete use Lars.

I wasn't crazy when I asked you to turn as quietly as possible.

Does anyone know Dayan's official website? I've tried finding it on google, but I can't find there actual site.

Haha i know, i just wanted to know if there were more options.
