I purchased a QJ Super Floppy Cube from Amazon. As I was scrambling it, it somewhat popped and one of the edge pieces came off leaving 4 loose small pieces that it looks like help with the turning mechanism. As i tried placing the small pieces back in, and then hopefully being able to pop the edge back on, it wont go on. I know the edge has a spring and what looks like a little metal piece that is supposed to go on the peg that is sticking out. I think the piece may be out of alignment with it. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it broken? Has anyone had one of these before?

I have a 20k and 50k (Lubix) but I prefer 20k (exactly like the one you posted). It can get messy though, since it's more runny and it'll get all over the stickers. Both are really quite nice though, and most cubers use 20k and 50k.
 
Problem with my megaminx meffert

Hello guys,
on the last days my megaminx meffert's had some problems.
Two sides, the blue one and the white one, don't hold the regulation, and after 20 turns they get too loose.
Have you got any ideas to fix this problems?Or I have to buy a new megaminx?
 
M Slice moves in F2L?

Guys, how come M slice moves are not used in F2L more? I got a bunch of algs from Teller to substitute for SS Wiki case 15 y'(R'URU')d'(RU'R) that are faster but involve M Slice moves and I was wondering why they weren't used more in F2L. Maybe it's harder when it comes to cube rotations?

Anyone have any ideas of what to do next for a series of videos such as this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtrgPHlMDKc
Looking for ideas like hanging upside down, spinning, really anything that's feasible

1. Solve cube while doing jumping jacks (legs only) or while jumping on trampoline (preferably doing some somersaults too).
2. Solve 3x3 OH while standing on one foot and blindfolding one eye.
3. Solve cube using only elbows.
4. Solve cube while riding in the back of someone's motorcycle at high speed (someone else driving). Don't drop cube!
5. Solve cube while handcuffed.

There. 5 ideas.

I think it messes up recognizing other pairs. However, an example of when it is used in F2L, is the siamese cube, where you basically have to use it lol

Because, you will ruin F2L.
 
I just started 7x7. What is the recommended method or methods for centers. In particular the last two? What do the top 10 in the world do? Are there any sites or videos that go over this in detail? thanks

thanks, that helped. I was doing commutators multiple times fro the last 1x5 outer block but the rest I was doing as shown in the video. Any help for the other centers (first four)? Do I do them 1x5 block style or is 3x3x3 block and extending with tredges faster? Also, for 1x1x5 blocks for the first four centers, should I build them in order of innermost, adjacent, outer, other adjacent and then last outer or innermost, both adjacents and then outer? thanks
