    ∞ signs that you've been cubing for too long

    These actually apply to me. When 90% of your coworkers know you as that dude with the Rubiks cubes at his desk. When you become enraged at the phrase "so is there a pattern to that?" or "can you tell me how to solve it?" When you know full PLL but decide to learn Full Coll just for when you...

    New Dayan 3x3 poll

    I was wondering if anyone else would love to see a new Dayan 3x3 release. It's been a long time since Dayan made a 3x3 and I'm somewhat saddened by it. Most companies release 3x3s far too often IMAO and Dayan is the biggest exception. I would love to see a modern 3x3 design with the speed...

    What is the most common speed plateau?

    I think sub 20 is about right. Personally I'm barely sub 25. Although I did at sub 35 for like four months.

    [Help Thread] Big Cube Edges (5x5 +)

    Well for solving edges on 5x5 (this method works on any size big cube I even use it on 13x13) is free slice edge edge pairing. It's considered an advanced method but its actually pretty simple IMAO its the easiest way to pair edges. There are tutorials on youtube for it but to sum it up after...

    what are the best cubes?

    These are just my opinions but 2x2 Dayan 3x3 basically any but my favorites are the moyu aolong v2 and the gans 356 v2 Not very good at the others so I can't really say.

    [Help Thread] Easiest 4x4 method

    the simplest way I can think of to solve edges on a 4x4 ( works for all big cubes) is to solve them "one at a time". Just put the two pieces across from each other and not flipped ( color on f face the same) And hold the cube so that one edge piece is on the left side and the other on the right...

    Another way to tell is the cores were originally tan. But it may not be guaranteed because I heard they kept those for awhile.

    [Member Intro] Hi all from a southern noob

    First a southern Howdy from the appalachian Mountains! I'm no expert but I figured I might as well throw my advice in. The thunderclap isn't my main but it is a great cube and lots of people like it. As a beginner tensioning the cube probably isn't needed and for lube I'd recommend slowing it...

    A yuexiao lubed with traxxas 10k could also be a good fit.
