As i get it from the dropdown box, it's the package that is the diffrence. Either it comes as "plain package" or "retail package".

I'm 100% sure it's a different lube. Even the color is not the same. One is white, the other is clear.

Have you practised? And also, lots of people say to practise F2L.
I'm pretty sure you don't need full PLL. I'm sub 30 with 2 look PLL. (It's a good thing to learn though)

 

[linderj24]

thank you and yes i will continue to practice f2l which still takes me 30 to 40 seconds

3 look last layer should not take 30+ seconds. Learn to use fingertricks. No full palm turns for anything except R and L moves. 3lll should take 15 given your approximate speed. What cube do you use?

 

[linderj24]

i use rubiks storebought

I think he said that his F2L takes 30+ seconds .__.

:fp He did. But he said he avgs 1:12 so about 36-36 I think is f2l-3lll.

Well he has only been cubing for a month so another problem could be his fingertricks and OLL/PLL recognition. (You should probably read this linderj24 )

 

[linderj24]

yeah thanks i will work on that i believe crazy bad cuber has a video on pll recognition

Or you could just keep doing a perm e.g T perm. Do it once and look at where the pieces go. I just kept on doing that

 

[linderj24]

yeah i will work on that but do you know any methods for improving f2l

 

[YddEd]

Well when I was improving on F2L, I just kept on solving. If I got a case I didn't know, I would turn it into a easy case. Still what I do right now. If you think blockbuilding is a good idea, you could also learn Roux or Petrus. ZZ is also pretty good. (It's just the Edge Orientation that is hard to get used to.)

How does tensioning cubes work? If i took a ZhanChi, and then turned the red side over and over, would i be loosening the tension?

Turn the screw clockwise and you're tightening it and if you turn it counter clockwise, you're loosening it.

No, turning a side over and over does nothing. You have to pop the center cap off the center piece then you will see the screw head. Use a screwdriver.
