whenever i do my cube it simply unscrews.its so annoying,i have to screw it every 4-5 moves,and if i dont it blows up.
how do i fix this

What cube is it? The fix would be to buy a new core. Your old one is not good for anything. Also lubing the screws might help so that the force from the counter clockwise twist doesnt transfer into the screw and core. The screws should move during a solve.

i honestly have no idea.its a 1 dollar cube.its sort of like a normal rubiks cube,but more rounded

You can buy a normal cube like Zhanchi or C4Y I think it's easier

Buy a new cube crappy cube or invest a small amount of money on a great cube. My tip would be to buy http://www.fasttech.com/products/2115/10001219/1102317-dayan-zhanchi-3x3x3-puzzle-speed-cube
The shipping is free and the Zhanchi widely considered to be one of the best or even the best cube in the market. 10 bucks shouldn't be a big deal to anyone with internet access at home.

Can somebody please give me a scramble that generates OLL case #35 (fish shape) (alg: (R U2) (R2 F) (R F' R U2 R')) ?

Will a dayan core fit a Shuangren?

There's a thread on cores and interchageability, and the answer is yes. A C4U will fit too.

You mean the sune? There's also Antisune.

Just repeat the OLL Algorithm from the solved cube and eventually you'll get a case where you're 1 oll algorithm away from a solved cube. Works with any OLL case (or any working algorithm, that's what algorithms are for), much like the sune (RUR'URU2R'). Also your algorithm is not for the sune or anti sune

If you mean a scramble from the very beginning so that you intend to do F2L and then get the sune algorithm, that's near to impossible because we cant possibly predict your moves during F2L.

Im putting together a list of scrambles for different OLL´s, for OLL-learning. For example scramble F2 D' L D' B2 L' D2 F2 U R'
gives you the sune case to solve.

Scramble for case #35 is the only one I cant find a scramble for

Im meaning a scramble that gives you finished F2l, just the oll (and then pll) case to solve

Will Alpha screws and springs work well with a Zhanchi core and pieces?

 

[Lagom]

IMO the Alpha springs are way to stiff. It slows the cube down a lot :-/
Also I think the screw heads are to small, so that the center pieces vobble a lot

He isn't talking about the sune. He's talking about the one with the fish shape.

Gear cube question!

Is it possible to have 1 edge flipped? Like, 180 degree flipped, not rotated.
If not I guess I'll have to swap the stickers.

 

[Lagom]

It's not possible
You can just remove the piece and put it back correctly

Thanks. I was a bit afraid of taking it out in case I broke it, but I went for it anyway.

If you mean this http://badmephisto.com/oll.php number 35, you mean the sune. And as I said, just repeat the algorithm a few times and you'll get a case where you're 1 more algorithm away from solve. Do sune algorithm 5 times ( RUR'URU2R' x 5 ) and you get the sune case positioned correctly.

You could also read from right to left and just inverse everything.
R U R' U R U2 R'
=
R' U' R U' R' U2 R

Sune IS the fish shape.

Nope. Press ctrl+f and type in 35.

Just blows my mind why the case that looks like a fish isnt called the fish shape and the one that doesn't is Also notice that in my link 35 is the sune. Wacky coincidence and difference between pages.

However my advice applies here too.

Not so!

If you have the gear cube 2 (the one with the freely moving E slice), you can get this parity. See link:

Will Cubesmith stickers (camcuber's sticker set) for regular size cubes fit a 55mm zhanchi?
