What's the store where you get two sticker sheets per color?

Puzzleaddictions used to, which may be what you're thinking of. The shop is down, though, so don't order there.

Yeah I think you're thinking of puzzleaddictions, they gave you two full sets of stickers. Cheap stickers too. But now that it's down I think thecubicle.us is probably the best site for stickers.

 

[Dakotajennings]

Ah damn. Thanks anyway. Looking like the cubicle for me.

I really want to get a shape shifting puzzle but I don't want it to be too hard. Currently i can easily solve a 4x4, but i don't care for speedsolving it.

What is a good first shape shifting puzzle?

The main shape shifting puzzle is the Square-1.

Learn full PLL
Improve F2L
Slow down and look ahead
Get good algs
etc.

ok, thanks ill try to learn look ahead and full pll more oll and but i also just improved my PB to 22.95 then 21.38 then 21.05 but still, ill try

You only need 2-look OLL. Don't learn more OLLs. First, learn PLL. Make sure you have algs that you like. Start to look ahead more - lookahead will really help you to get sub-20. Don't learn OLL until you are at least sub-20, and only learn COLL after you're comfortable with OLL and are sub-15 (or learn COLL before OLL if you switch to ZZ).

4x4x6, mirror blocks, mastermorphinx, pyramorphinx, Axis cube, Blade cube, Octagonal barrel, Fisher cube, hexagonaldipyramid.

 

[TDM]

mastermorphinx, pyramorphinx

Mastermorphix and Pyramorphix.

In response to fatool's question: Mirror Blocks, Square-1 or Pyramorphix.

Well, something just jogged my memory. Cubesmith will give you two sets for a single colour if you buy a particular colour.

Don't listen to this. Definitely finish learning PLL first, but once you're comfortable with PLL, start learning OLLs whenever you feel like it. You don't have to wait until you reach some arbitrary time barrier.

Sorry, missed that post.

Why isn't FMC ranked by movecount AND time?

 

[advincubing]

From where do the Mouse OLLs (3 and 4) get their name? I don't see a mouse looking down -- with just the center and one corner. Maybe with the un-oriented edges/corners somehow?

ANSWERING MY OWN QUESTION:
OHHHHH. I see it now. The center, oriented corner, and un-oriented edge (on the side with the un-oriented edge only, and no un-oriented corner) form a mouse shape. See below.

why would it be?

 

[Ninja Storm]

It seems that, to get a better feel for who's "better" than others at certain movecounts, time could be used.

Well, I think wca named it "fewest moves challenge" for a reason, not "fastest fewest move solution"

How are same move solutions differenciated right now? Maybe instead of incorporating time, the WCA should make some kind of mean for FMC?
