The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[UB]

There is a smooth side and a rough side. The smooth side goes in the plastic while the rough side is the spring side

Does it matter which way the washer faces when it goes into the core?
How will it affect performance?

I guess crushing it Would love to do it to my cube someday

Does that mean having someone drop it on your car when you're driving or crushing it?

now i do know thatr not everyone likes the fangshi company but i whent from my zanchi to a fangshi and dropped 5 seconds off my average but thats just me not every one likes its feel but i do have to say it never ever ewill pop

That doesn't answer his question in any way...

now i am not the fastes solver only being 14 and i have only started in june of 2130 n i have a 21 second average but i cant break that 20 second average how do i do it i only no 8 pll cases so should i learn more or should oi learn some oll because i use the beginner method for that?

Wow, who has the WR at your time? And when were time machines invented?
Learning 2-look OLL and full PLL will help you get sub-20 easily if you're averaging 21 with beginner's OLL and 8 PLLs.

Dude. Learn. To. Type. Honestly, I can put up with quite a bit of bad grammar but this is just over the top. Get it together.

Translation: I want to get into megaminx, is the Dayan megaminx with ridges competition legal?

Yes, it is.

ok thank you just to let you know though i am leaguly blind and it is hard for me to see the key board so sorry for my bad mistakes but i will try harder

I would strongly recommend learning how to touch type. Very useful skill even for those without difficulty seeing.

whats a good timer that isnt to expensive i need one.

Is it competition legal to bring scratch paper into an official FMC event?

If a center cap falls off my cube during a solve, am I required to put it back on? If so, I should probably get a new speedcube

i think you have to put it back on. it might count the same as a pop idk though

I remember at my last comp(I think it was that one) where I stopped the timer and as the cube landed a cap fell off and there was no penalty.

If I recall correctly, if one falls off, because it only has one color, its not a DNF or a +2
but if 2 fall off, it is a DNF.

Well typically at least two fall off. oh well Gotta get a new cube!

Would it negatively affect my cube if the washers are upside down?


Is it legal to change cube between solves in comp?

Use the paper trick. Put a piece of paper right under the cap so it wedges in nicely between the cap and the slot. Works like a charm.

is there any new cube that is really good in general for cubers like the zhanchi? i had been off the forum for a while

Moyu Weilong. v1 and v2 don't really matter since it's the same exact mechanism other than how the corners are put together. Get v2 if you want stickerless or mini.

Hey! Wondering about some things, hoping to find some help!

(yes I read the FQA section )

Hello! I recently started getting into solving, I currently use the method that Mathmeeting used in his tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crqDdk3J-S0) (and I was wondering what that method is called?) and I can solve it at around 1:20 average (my records 1:13). I am going to start to learn the Fridrich Method as I like the idea behind it, and I am ordering a Dayan GuHong as I have been solving on this cube and I feel it has really shut me down (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Shengsh...30972830681?pt=Puzzles_US&hash=item1e7e96cbd9). anyway, now that I will hopefulyl start getting good at SSolving, I was wondering what the best/most popular Lubricating method and oil(?) (not sure what the lubs are called) and where I can purchasing the oil(?). Also, what method did the 2 top guys ( the guys with the 5:55 record and the 2nd guy with the 5:66 one) were using when they solved. Another thing, what average should I have before I start joining competitions? Also, and this one is more of a personal question, how long did it take you to get into the 20-15s averages? Thanks in advanced!

I have, but they have gotten so bad that it doesn't work anymore.
