Are there any eg-1 tutorials? Like videos I mean.

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

Yes. I'm pretty sure Cam uses them for his 55mm CCZs

Yep they fit nicely

He he

Thanks for the inverse tip, it worked!

I'm noticing that my solves are slow mostly because my cross-planning and moving on to the first F2L pair is slow. My PLL and OLL are decent (7sec on average, recognition and reaction times included. I also don't know full OLL yet, so after I do I'm assuming these times will drop to an average of 5-6 seconds) and once I get the flow on F2L it can be very quick. Also if I do the cross and get a good case to start F2L with (many corners on top layer, maybe first pair on top layer) my solve will easily go sub 20.

How do I practice? Do I have to go to basics and start off with blindfolded crosses, maybe train that and even try Cross+1F2L blindfolds?

My current goal is to be a constant sub 20, averaging maybe 18 seconds (my standard deviation is around 1-2 seconds when solving)

Hi, first post.

A thing I like to do with my cubes is to split apart the edge pieces in half and fill them with coins or something to make them heavier. It's just a personal preference.
I just got a new 4x4 Shengshou, and I can't seem to split open the edge pieces. They look like they have a plastic cap on them.
The cap on the edge piece is facing towards the edge piece it's paired with, and it has a little triangle and 2 lines on it.

I know the theoretical probability of each ocll case. But don't some seem more common than others?

Cubetwist vs LingAo clock? Pros and Cons of each?

How do you re-assemble the dayan 2x2 correctly? When I try some sides don't turn because of the inner edges, some have things that stick out on them, and I'm not sure how to place them.

The 3 inner edges with the things sticking out should go around one corner

Worked beautifully, thanks a lot!

Am I the only one who has this problem on the Fangshi where the edge caps fly off during a solve? If so how can I fix it?

I've heard that this is a pretty big issue. Just buy some super glue and then glue the caps on.

Quick question:

Does anybody get tingling in their fingers after so many solves? The tingling feels sort of like when your arm or leg falls asleep, but only in your fingertips and its not really painful, just noticeable.

I've been cubing today since basically 3pm (its currently 7pm, I live in central time zone, so 4 hours consecutively), and now my fingers feel really funny. It may be because I am a type 1 diabetic, which means insulin and blood sugar and all that stupid crap, but for me to take my blood sugar I have to prick my finger, and I do that 4-5 times a day, and I wonder if that little pin prick is the cause of this strange tingling, because I don't remember this happening ever before I was diagnosed. (Diagnosed in January of this year, been cubing since June of last year.)

If you've been cubing for that long, that would usually be a case.

Also, a lack of exercise can cause a lack of circulation throughout the body. If you cube too much and don't exercise enough, your hands will start to have less blood(this is the case for video games like League of Legends, but I'm assuming it works for cubing as well).

sometimes happens to me if i cube for awhile i can feel something weird in my fingers if i wiggle em around, usually my clue to myself i've been cubing for a fair bit

 

[Smiles]

well i might be evidence to support this "lack of exercise" thing causing it.
i have never felt such a thing in my life even though i used to even sometimes cube for 4 hours straight, then do another 3 hours later the same day.
on average i get like 3 hours of intense exercise per day so yah.

 

[aznanimedude]

i can neither confirm nor deny that i lack exercise/am a slob <__<
