    F2L With Minimum Cube Rotations

    Using full Fridrich you should be able to be sub 20 just by practising. Maybe you need to solve the cube slowly but continuously. I would recommend you to use a metronome. According to my personal experience, the obstacle for the 40s wall is looking ahead. You should learn how to look ahead. I...

    Hi! I'm pretty new to cubing! :D

    You need to learn F2L sooner or later. I think that you are now ready to learn the F2L. I know that it might slow you down. But after 1-2 weeks you'll get better, and actually can finish the F2L in under 30s, better than LBL. I now can finish the F2L in about 16-20s, i would never be able to...

    Which is easier 4x4x4 or 5x5x5 Cube?

    either one is fine. 4x4 is good, 5x5 is also good. Basically, they have the same principle, solve the center, the edges, and solve like 3x3. Maybe you can get megaminx if you want to, that would be more challenging because it has different shape. lol.

    faster pll

    I have memorized about 50 something oll. So almost 2look LL. So, I have to practice slowly without locking up, and eventually add speed?

    Which one should I buy next?

    Not megaminx?

    faster pll

    How do I practice PLL and oll? my LL is about 8-10 seconds. I have tried doing the pll algs over and over again, but it just does not get faster. Can you guys help me with this?

    Question to all of you Fridrich users

    I agree with Carson 100% too. I think that the algorithms which are available now are mostly found intuitively, except for some cases. I would recommend you to learn the f2l slowly and figure out how the pieces move. Later, you'll see that all you do is setting the pieces to the basic patterns...

    Non-Cubers say the darndest things!

    My friend can do it in 10s even though he never learned how to solve the cube. He just looked at the cube and solved it in 10s. Gosh, I can't believe it... Is it possible to solve it in 10s but you don't know how to solve it at first?

    Should Rubik's brand cubes be prohibited for BLD?

    I don't think it matters since when you are solving the cube, you can't see anything. Even though there's the logo on the cube, it doesn't matter. It can't show any directions since, again, you can't see the cube when it's moving.
