Bump.

It is the "Younkee Black Body with tiles DIY Kit for Speed-cubing". Lol.

It's basically a terrible semi-knockoff of the Zhanchi. It sucks. Don't get it.

when solving the 5x5x5 using free slice im not sure which method is the best when coming across a wrong orientation of a edge.
if I have a case where both the FR and FL edges have a center part of a tredge and a edge part of the tredge but it cant be solved with a u (or d depending on what part of the tredge).
i have 3 ways to solve this...

1. rotate edge, R U R' F R' F R - Slice.
2. Move out edge, do a wide slice, insert edge on the other side. R U R' U 3U' L' U L - Slice.
3. Move out edge, place edge in B face instead. R U R2 U' R - Slice.

there benefits of 1:
no other edge gets compromised.
negatives of 1:
i find it hard to execute on a 5x5, the layers slip around and cause lock ups and it requires regripping after.

Benefits of 2:
only uses R's U's and L's, no regripping.
can increase look ahead as you are moving the puzzle with the 3U
Negatives of 2:
not very efficient, Puts the BU edge into middle layer

Benefits of 3:
fast execution, No regrip
Negatives
Puts BU into middle layer

so are these the only 3 methods that can be used? which one should I stick to? or should i use them all?

How do i block build with roux without resorting to cfop?

Try doing one edge, then CE pair anywhere on cube, place it, and then another CE pair anywhere, and optimize. That's how I learned.

Are the SS 7x7 and SS 9x9 sticker size the same? As in can I buy two sets of 7x7 stickers and be able to sticker a SS 9x9?

Probably better off with mini SS 7 stickers.

If you learn all of CMLL for Roux, haven't you technically learned all of the 2x2 CLL method too?

Yes.

Yes, it just won't be as fast as it could be if you used 2x2-specific algs.

Can I still use my megaminx in a competition with these types of sticker chips?

By the way, it's modded.

You should be.
My 4x4 had way way worse chipping than this at worlds and no one said anything (some of the stickers were more round than square) same with my 6x6

Does anyone know of a good place to find OLLCP algorithms?

Programmes

Hi guys, just wondering if there's any program or software for calculating averages when I use the Speedstacks Timer?
