Sure is

Cubes that are coming out?

Is there any single thread or video that effectively compares the Alpha CC to the FIII to the Dayan series (any one of them is fine)?

Is anybody willing to sell me a cheap Alpha 1 core? All the websites I go to have extreme shipping for a teeny core! Free shipping is appreciated.

What are the differances between ShengShou VI and VIII? And also Dayan + Mf8 and Dayan + Mf8 mini (besides the size)

4x4 BTW in case you didn't realise

Bump.

Anyone know?

 

[Petezorzz]

Shengshou:
I know that the Shengshou v3 has a anti-popping mech.

Dayan + MF8:
The wings on the mini dayan are longer than the regular size.
The corner stocks are also bigger.

At hknowstore.com it is 2.5$ with free shipping.

I can't wait that long for a core ):

Where can I buy a stackmat timer with world wide shipping?

Anyone?

51MoreFun has them. However, when I went onto their site, it said 'Account Suspended'. I think they have a problem.

Is there a way to copy (like ctrl + c) your times from Prisma Puzzle Timer?

Go to View > Session Summary. There, you can copy what information you want.

How long did shipping from cubesmith usually take

How long did shipping from cubesmith usually take

Their website says up to 14 days (Well, it did when I ordered a few days ago), so expect that much just to be safe.

I know it is easy to tell if you have a cube's edge's and corner's orientations in a possible position quickly, but how can you easily tell if a cube's edge's and corner's permutations are in a possible position?

Until you reduce it to a last layer state it's very difficult to recognize permutation parity. Essentially you either have one of the 22 possible last layer permutations (21 PLLs + skip) or you don't, in which case you have parity.

Btw, there is only one permutation parity, doesn't matter if it's CP or EP. For example, if you had a last layer where only two edges were swapping, say UR and UL, that cube would have PP. However, you could use legal moves, for instance, a T perm, to swap those two edges and swap two corners (URF UBR) and then you'd still have PP, though it would look like you switched from having edge PP to corner PP. This is obviously contrasted with corner and edge orientation parity which are entirely separate from each other.

Ahh, I completely forgot about that So there is no practical way to see if a cube has a possible permutation case while completely scrambled?

On my shengshou 5x5, white:
There is a small border around each sticker. It's greyish, black. It comes off but it'll come back again. Does anyone know what this is?

It's bits of stickers sticky residue mixed with dirt. Nothing to worry about.
