The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[uberCuber]

Guys, I'm working on my F2L both intuitive and learning a few algs and I was wondering a couple of things?

1)Should all my F2L algs be sub 1 able?

2)If so that means a possible 3 sec F2L, besides Felik's who has a 3 sec F2L

You're not counting recognition and AUFs.

or the cross. Anyway, the answer to your first question is yes.

I bought my first Magic 2 days ago. I had no clue how to solve it, so I looked it up. Since then my best single is 2.12, and overall I'm averaging about 2.7 seconds. So, just a question. How long do you think it will take me (or how long did it take you) to get a consistent sub-2 ao5?

Oh, and by the way, can a Magic be 'broken in'. Will it become easier to handle once I've used it more?

It will be a few days.

Solve your magic and stick quarters in between every hinged tile. Leave it for a few hours.

What is that supposed to do?

Just a quick question, does a Rubik's Magic have to be a specific size for competitions, or can it be any size?

Any size, I use a mini magic

3x3x3 one hand algorithms

Hey, l somehow couldn't find one hand algorithms in Google? I have very bad finger trick or moves. I can only do R, R' and U'(impossible to do U since l am using left hand) and l can't do any Fs, Bs or Ds unless l do rotating for it and same goes for U(very weird and confusing).

Can you give me a list of algorithms for one hand OLL and PLL?
Also it will be best if you can find the most suited ones for me but l am going to improve my finger moves in future!

This
Then this
But compare with this first
You can also generate your own using cube explorer, it can be a lot of fun!

Good luck with your OH-cubing!

Oh, and by the way; doing U with left hand isn't that bad

EDIT: Also use OAQT next time.

Yeah, you can do U with you index/pointer finger. Either put it on LBU and push, or FLU and pull. You can do U2s really easily like this too. Start with the FLU pull, and when you're done your finger is already on LBU.

Alright could sombody post a link to what DaYan zhanchi is the best? I search but different ones come up.

Thanks

It stretches the strings. Loosens the magic.

One and simple question: what's the deal with V-cube? All I know about them is that they are hated because of the Dayan vs V-cube patent issue. Are V-cube cubes the best or mediocre at best?

There are not bad, but they are not superior.

This comes down to opinion really.
For Bigcubes, some people say SS, some say V-cubes, however, the V-cube 2 and 3 arent really that good.

How the heck do you do M' E2 M/M' E2 quickly?

 

[drewsopchak]

With hands... M' with right ring, index ring (E2), left index M, E2.

The three modded ones I know of are:
http://thecubicle.us/hand-zhanchi-p-39.html (One-Hand Zhanchi)
http://thecubicle.us/zhanchi-silk-p-46.html (Zhanchi Silk)
http://lubixcube.com/Lubix_Cube/Purchase.html (Ultimate Lubix Zhanchi)

I personally use the Zhanchi Silk. I really like it, pops 1/500 solves it seems. Many fast/famous cubers I think still use the Ultimate Lubix Zhanchi, like Rowe. I've never tried it, or the OH Zhanchi, so yea. OH Zhanchi, as its name suggests, it really good for OH I guess. If you just want a Zhanchi for a good price, thecubicle.us is still really good.

LOL fame in the cubing world. Just because fast cubers like said cube doesn't mean you will.

Haha it's so small everybody kinda knows everyone even if they aren't fast, etc.

Alright I bought a Black GuHong. How long does it usually take to ship to Arizona, USA. Is there any difference between the V1 and V2 because I got the V1. Lastly! Can I install the Lubix Torpedos on it? Anybody ever done this?

Heres the link to the Torpedos http://www.lubixcube.com/Lubix_Cube/Purchase.html Its at the bottom!
