Properly lube and tension your zhanchi, I don't think there is such thing as a slow zhanchi if its lubed and tensioned properly. If you want a new cube you could go amazon, lightake, thecubicle and so on.

For the 4x4, use the one you like best. At the moment most people prefer modded shengshou v3 or just v3 or v4.

Identify Pattern Plz

This is the superflip pattern right?

What is the algorithm on 7x7 and 11x11?

THANK YOU

Basically you do the superflip on every set of layers.
For 7x7 it looks like this:
((3M' U)4 y' z')3 where 3M is all the layers that are not R or L.
then repeat this on the second set of layers (3M->2M, U->2U) and again on the 3rd set: (2M->M, 2U->3U)
this would then continue down the layers to do it on an 11x11

I just started cubing last 26th of december last year after 2 weeks of practice I can now solve the cube for 1:20-1:30. How can i know if I should go advance? or should i give it a month or more to practice the beginners method?

Just keep practicing until you average under a minute.
You would might want to look at other methods then.

I totally agree. For new methods though Friedrich is great.

Hey guys, one question, I got Rubik's brand stickers the other day, I bought 2 (for 2 of my Rubik's brand 3x3 cubes, just for collection) and I got one more for free, and I thought that since my Dayan 5 Zhanchi's stickers are rather worn out and chipped, I thought I should replace them with the extra rubik's brand stickers I got. Would that be good? Or should I just wait until I get another better set of stickers to use?

Thanks

Do the stickers have a plastic film on them?
If yes, then don't use it on the Zhanchi!

Get Cubesmith, Z or Izo stickers.

isnt the first part of roux basically Fredrich f2l minus 2 cross edges? cos when i try to solve using roux i just end up doing f2l then finishing off the 2 cross edge and then oll and pll. so my roux solve just turn to a cfop solve

 

[aznanimedude]

kind of, but then you lose the freedom, efficiency, and ergonomics of Roux

Please don't do that, it makes me feel a little worse inside whenever I see someone suggest it. And if you think of it as F2L minus two edges urgh... It's blocks ok.

How do you access the rankings of magics?
The current old one doesn't work anymore (http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/e.php?i=magic)

Depends on what you want.

I got one little 3x3 keychain for like $0.50 on the street and it's really bad quality (paper stickers decolouring, terrible turn, etc). I just want something better to fool around with when I don't have a big cube with me...

if you buy one, which would it be?

I believe this is the witeden one, it turns pretty well and has no stickers to rub off. It is my current keychain of choice.
