My zhanchi, on the red side when it gets turned, the screw loosens causing the cube to pop a lot, any fix for this?

Anybody?

I think you should get a new core and hardware

this happened on an old FII of mine. I put a tiny tiny bit of superglue in the core(i used a needle to get it in) and screwed the screw in to the right tension and let it dry. Mine lasted for a while. It could hold you over til a core and parts arrive.

Where is a human kociemba tutorial? Looking to learn that method.

Any cube stores in the US sell big cubes, specifically a SS 6x6, as DIY kits?

Where is a human kociemba tutorial? Looking to learn that method.

Kociemba's algorithm (if you're thinking about the so called Two Phase algorithm) is an advanced version of the Thistlethwaite algorithm (merging its 4 steps into 2 using graph-algorithms, movement tables and heuristics). So, Human Thistlethwaite is basically a Human Kociemba as well.

As far as I know of there has never been any big cube like 6x6 on up that were sold as a DIY.

Can someone explain what the last page of this meffet's megaminx turorial says to do in somewhat more standard notation?

I'm just starting with the megaminx and having fun flipping corners with beginner's style (me myself & pi and the similar but opposite Blue knight style) and I'd love to know a two corners at once alg in a similar vein.

Hello. I am a beginner at speedsolving 2x2's, and I am looking to buy a Wittwo v1, since I have heard it is more stable than the Dayan 2x2 and is better than the Wittwo v2. Could anyone send me a link to where I can buy the Wittwo v1 (remember, v1, not v2)? I am unaware of which puzzle shops to purchase one at, or, which ones are reputable, for that matter.

Since you are in the US, there are many stores with good prices. For example, the cubicle (free shipping and good prices and good customer service )

People have said the shengshou 4x4 is good but what about the 5x5 and 6x6?

I'm pretty sure ShengShou is the best choice for all bigger cubes at the moment. Atleast the 5x5 is the WR cube, maybe the 6x6 is too. The 5x5 just needs a mod to be great and the 6x6 is known to be pretty bad no matter what brand you buy. I'd still go with the ShengShou products because of the price and because no other cubes are better. Maybe equal.

I have a SS 5x5 and its pretty great out of the box. Don't know about 6x6 except from watching reviews.

Yes it does, but I'll probably getting a V6 instead of a SS I love modding.

Definitely go with the SS 5x5; unless you have big hands and a lot of willingness to mod(and should therefore use the V-Cube 5), go with the Shengshou.

For the 6x6, it's similar. If you want to mod and break in a cube a LOT, go with the V-Cube 6. The cube takes an immense amount of work, but it will be the best 6x6 on the market. On the contrary, the Shengshou 6x6 needs little to no modding, and it's pretty good out of the box. It's far outclassed by the modded V-Cube 6, though.
