Can I buy two fangshi 54.6 set's and then combine them to make my "own" fangshi illusion?
I can't seem to find the white/black one,so I thought I buy the white and the black one and combine them to make the white/black and black/white one.

Yes, you can. All the pieces in all ShuangRens are the same size and shape (except the caps, which are bigger on a 57mm, but there is no difference for cubes of the same size).

Hi, I'm thinking of modding my eastsheen 4x4 into a 2x2x4, but I have a couple questions.
so what pieces exactly do I glue together? also, I can't find apoxie sculpt anywhere, so could
I use this clay that you cook to harden? and just glue it to the pieces after i molded and hardened it?

that sounds like alot of work, thats a big cube to make so small. just buy a 2x2x4. they have them at HKnowstore and thecubicle

I just got a moyu weilong (fullsize), and it is just barely too fast for me on some PLLs. Is this something I should work through and get used to, or should I wait to use that cube until I am faster?

put dayan springs in it.

Is it truly worth it to become color neutral for the roux method?
I've recently transitioned from CFOP to Roux, and I'm dual color neutral, but I'm working on becoming color neutral. I've realized that it takes a lot of time to become color neutral, and being color neutral may only cut down 0.5 or 1 seconds.

A lot of people are just x2,y,z2. So like white/yellow are top/bottom but blocks can be any color.

For example, I am [x2,y2] color neutral, which means my first block can be 4 different types. Pros are usually [x2,y] or [x,y2] color neutrals (8 different type of first blocks).

I've just looked at cubezz.com for the 1st time. The prices seem too low. Is the site reliable? What are their shipping times and prices like?

How long did it take to get sub 15 constantly?

How long did it take to get sub 15 constantly?

Most people seem to take a little over a year, I personally hit it around 6 months. It really varies.

4 1/2 years and counting but I'm low 15s with old hands (relatively speaking).

6 and 1/2 years and my average isn't even sub 20.

And what about zcube? It also seems too good to be true.

 

[Lchu613]

Both completely reliable. Shipping times are both really long though so if you're impatient......

Everyone is saying the MoYu LiYing is 56mm, which is what I thought it was before I got it. But mine is definitely smaller than he HuanYing, ChiLong e.t.c... the way reviews describe it is exactly the same, and the sound is the same. So why is mine 55mm???

Here's an unboxing and review I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLEw5qzquwY

what do you think the normal puzzle time ratio is?
basically if someone averages 30 on 3x3 whats their 2x2 average?
for me the ratio would be : 2x2 times = 1/3 3x3 times: 3x3 times = 1/6 4x4 times (yeah, I suck)

Here are my stats
3x3 - 21 sec
4x4 - 2:15-2:25
2x2 - 6-7 seconds
pyra- 11 sec

You cant really do a general ratio for all cubers.

Mine is
2x2 6
3x3 20
4x4 1:10

So my 3x3 to 4x4 ratio is 2:7, which is obviously significantly different than 1:6.

is weight 4 or 5 lube from the cubicle better for the screws springs and core of a cube

They're the same, but 5 lasts longer

 

[NooberCuber]

weight 4 and 5 are the same?

My 3x3 and 2x2 times would skew this data, I'm afraid.

2x2: 6-7 seconds
3x3: 9-10 seconds
4x4: 47 seconds
5x5: 1:23
6x6: 2:59
7x7: 3:59
3x3OH: 15-16 seconds
