How deep can one go in the Florian mod with it still being effective? I've seen some huge holes, but I want to know what the optimal size is.

It's the famous Kung Fu Cube (look in the upper right corner). It will beat you up, if you are not fast enough!

Looks like it.

What is the number of permutations on a helicopter cube without jumbled positions, only cubic positions? However, the pieces could be in any orbit (or universe)?

Excuse me, but does anyone know where one could get custom sticker "sheets"?
Like..the stickers we put on our cubes were cut from a big sheet via machine.
Well is it possible to buy one of those big sheets?
And also, that big sheet, I'd like to print my own design ontop it.
So basically: can you buy a big cube sticker sheet that can be printed onto?
[Sorry if these seems more like a "TwistyPuzzles" forum question]

I'm trying to change to Roux, but I have a few questions.
1. In the LSE, how do the fastest cubers recognize the orientation? (Do they have to check both the U and the D layer)
2. What is the most common / fastest way to execute an M move? (Using the middle / fourth finger to push backwards, or the second finger to push from above)
Thanks
I like how Roux can be done with no rotations, while using fingertrick-friendly moves

M can be done fast in a a ton of different ways. Just find a way that you like and do that. Or use whatever works best for the position your fingers are in at that time.
As for EO, I only need to check the U layer stickers and FD sticker. On the U layer, the edges that are oriented have U/D (W or Y for me) on top. If it's not U or D color, it's misoriented. FD should not be a U or D color. If it is, then it is also misoriented. Since edges are always oriented in pairs of 2, you can deduce whether or not DB is oriented. Here's a few examples:
M U' M U2 M2 U' M' U2 M' U2 M' U' M2 U2 M U M' U M2 U M2 U2 M U' M'
First do an M' to fix centers.
U layer - Only UL has U/D color on top, so the other three are misoriented (UB, UR, UF). I look at FD. It is a U/D color, so it is misoriented. That makes 4 misoriented edges, so I know that DB is correct. U M' U' M to orient
U2 M2 U' M2 U2 M2 U2 M' U2 M U' M U2 M2 U M' U' M2 U' M' U2 M U2 M' U'
M to fix centers (else we get the mirror of what we had last time - boring)
U layer - UR and UF have U/D colors, so they are correct. UB and UL do not, so they need to be flipped. FD is a U/D color, so it is misoriented as well. That's only 3 wrong edges though, so I know that DB is misoriented also. M2 U' M' U' M'
U2 M2 U2 M' U2 M' U' M U M U M U' M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U' M2 U2 M U2
M' to fix centers
U layer - UR and UL do not have U/D colors, so misoriented. Look at FD - U/D color => Misoriented. That's only 3 edges, so DB is also misoriented. M' U2 M' U2 M U' M (plus paired up UL/UR! Aren't you guys proud of that LSE? I've never intentionally done that before without having to do extra thinking!)

You need to acknowledge that you've searched for the thing you're about to post (To avoid duplicates) and that it's not a question that can be answered in this thread.

Nope, that wont work:

Where can I buy a Shengshou 6x6 online using PayPal? I bought one from Focalprice but sadly it has not arrived (and it's already been 47 days!). Can anyone provide me an alternative?

Where can I buy an Edison Cube Square-1?
(Is there a better square-1? If so, where can I get that too?)

Does creating macros on qCube to do M and M' moves count as cheating?
