The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[creativecuber15]

I decided to get a square 1, but the only two options that I have are Calvin's and MF8 v2. I saw reviews, but they weren't enough to choose between the two.
Which one is better?
Thanks for helping!

According to this ==> http://pcubedpuzzles.in/collections/cube-lubes/products/pcubed-lubes
Which Lube should I get?

I just remembered I had an old Diansheng 3x3 which I bought 3 years ago, and had seen in the Cubing World How To Get Fast video for Feet, where he said that blocky cubes are the best for feet. I tried the diansheng, and it was perfect for feet. Better than either my f/s or my zhanchi. So my question is, the diansheng still locks up quite a bit, I have some sandpaper with me, which points should I mod off and how much should I mod them such that this cube retains the stability and feel yet cuts corners a bit? (even at least 15 degrees is more than enough for me). The cube is seriously good for feet.

You should definitely mod it, like sanding the edge and corners a little.

I know I should mod the edges and corners, but where? At what spot? That's my main doubt. If someone showed me pictures it would be great.

the moyu weilong has a kind of blocky feel . . .

Many people say the weilong is uncontrollable for regular 3x3 solving... how would I use it for feet?

How long is a standard cube? I think it's 56mm but I'm not sure. I'm asking because the cubicle has a sale on the mini weilong and I want to know how much smaller it is than the regular weilong.

standard size is 57 mm. Even though the difference may seem small to the mini version, it does make a difference.

What is AUF? I am guessing it's Adjust Up Face since people say "I forgot to AUF and got a +2"

Is there a WR set for the most 2x2s or pyraminxs solved in 24 hours?

I still do it, I actually have a version of it in another tab right now. http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...fteen-puzzle-with-timer-(modified-by-stannic) I use v 7.0

I thought that it's better to use stiff cubes for feet?

Is it normal that when you first learn something like 4LLL that your times get slower?. I didn't follow a guide or anything and learned intuitive F2L before I learned 4LLL (I don't know if that really matters for this case)...Right now my times have slowed down by about 20 seconds.

Do I just need more practice with actually executing them and case recognition of the new algs I have learned?

Yeah, just practice and you'll eventually get faster.

Yes, the weilong isn't stiff.

how do i get my 4:34 3x3x3 average down?

Look at the "How to get fast with CFOP" thread. Also, if you want us to answer these questions, tell us more about your method, etc. Mostly though at your speed it'll be just practice.
