Professor Pyraminx Help?

i would be really happy any one could give me some help with this. i dont know any algorithms for this yet. thank you.

 

[emolover]

Here is a bad explanation of how I solve it.

Quote of the parity algorithm.

In this algorithm, u moves the layers containing the centers (so, the 2nd and 3rd from bottom) and the other faces are D, L, R, B.

solve centers: u
edge commutator: R D R' (u' L D L' u L D' L') R D' R'

Is it better than a maru? But is there any way to fix the locking up?

To fix shengshou 4x4 search the Konsta and florian mods. They're one of the most effective mods. Takes about 1and a half hour but u could spread it and it should help a lot.

hey after doing the konsta and florian mod on my SS 4x4 v3 i was wondering, because im using sand paper. would i NEED (emphasis on need) to lubricate my cube after sanding down pieces. cause i feel the sand paper would make the pieces rough and move worse. any insight/help?

How can I fix my Vulcano puzzle 2 things need to be fixed.

1. stickers are losing there adhesive after having it for 1 year and 5 months.

2. the core has a crack in it but lucky the screws are not effected.

How can I restore my vulcano puzzle? Would this work if I changed the core with the core from my old horrible QJ pyraminx?

I would buy a new core from someone. And order new stickers.

It depends on the type of sandpaper you used. You should re-apply some lube though as when you were modding it would have rubbed off on your hands. I put Jig-A-Loo in mine. I waited 3 weeks after I modded it to make sure all the roughness was gone then applyed the Jig-A-Loo. It's basically godly now.

Theres a problem with that the core is a 4 armed core and neither Oliver or Cubesmith sells sticker sets for this puzzle. Also, who in the right mind would disasemble there $42 Vulcano puzzle and sell the parts.

Solves, unboxings, tutorials like how to solve or how to mod, and reviews. Why are you going to make youtube videos?

 

[Cubetastic]

Well, I've already made videos in the past of me playing guitar and such and I've gotten some positive reviews. And maybe my rubiks cube videos will get positive reviews also.

There aren't any.
There was one, but it was removed due to too many stupid questions.
The best thing to do is search around the forum where there are various resources~
Jason Baum's site of ZBLS, Simon Swanson's pdf of ZBLL, I think Lars has some ZBLS too, and there's always the wiki.
ZB is something you gotta find yourself because with 493 algorithms there isn't someone who's gonna teach, and the recognition is all that has to be learned and thats:
Normal orientation (or whatever it's called), COLL case, which of the 12 ZBLL cases it is.
So because COLL becomes second nature you just have to look at how
FU & FRU relate, or how FU and RFU relate
and how
RU & RFU relate, or how RU and FRU relate.

edit: if you want -something- this is all i can give: Link
it's basically to make it seem easier.
