Hi everyone, been a while since I have posted on here. Coming to ask a question about a specific F2L case and hope to learn a more efficient way of solving it. As background, I am roughly a 30 sec solver. Most averages are in the range of 28-31. Using full PLL, mainly 2 step OLL (know a couple...
Hey everyone,
I used CCT on my old laptop with no problems. I have it running fine on my new laptop, however every week or so the database (.xml file holding all my times) gets deleted / reset. I don't have to remake the profile, but everything was erased. Very confused by this and it has...
I did say hi, that is how I found out about the event actually! Lucky for me it was the last day to register (even though I would be content to just come by and watch).
Saw you guys by chance at the Columbia Mall today. Had no idea there was an event if I didn't ask. I will be there Saturday to have a good time hopefully. Looking forward to getting blown away by how fast everyone can solve and hopefully getting some tips! I'm around a 32 avg (probably worse...
Great advice both of you. Feeling better about getting down to 30 seconds now! I've actually been on this site a good amount and (I think) I have passed through my buying/collector phase lol. Already own 3 Rubiks, 1 Stickerless Guhong, 1 ZhanChi, 1 Reg GuHong, 1 FII, 1 Linghui, and Alpha 5...
Thanks for the tips! I can usually place 3, occasionally all 4 of the cross before starting. Will definitely try to get more comfortable with placing all 4 now. As for PLLs, like I mentioned I just wrapped up learning the G perms last week. Most of the others I can do in about 4 seconds or less...
Hey SpeedSolving community,
Been cubing for about a year, but only started trying to get better over the last couple months. Over the last 2 months spent some time learning PLL and just finished full PLL about a week ago. I do cross, F2L, 2 look OLL, Full PLL. Currently my average is about 40...
Just to update. Last night I took apart the V-Cube 5, cleaned, and put it back together. My process was:
After disassembly, take old rag/paper towels to wipe down all the pieces. Then I put all the pieces in the sink with soapy water and cleaned them off to try and remove the old lubricant...
Hey everyone,
I am relatively new cuber... Average time is about 50 sec if I do it the normal way (cross,corners,middle,other cross, all to top, etc) and about 1 min to 1:10 when I use intuitive F2L(trying to get better with it).
Anyway... I've only owned a regular Rubik's Cube brand cube. I...
thanks for the replies everyone. I spent a good amount of time tonight rotating every side and it still isn't breaking in in the slightest :/ before I lubed it i could do decent flicks with the v-cube but that is impossible right now. no time tonight, but tomorrow I will disassemble it and clean...
If I were to clean off this lubricant, what is the best way to do so?
Also, how long did it take for the stickiness to go away? My cube is not even fun to solve at its condition right now because it is so dang hard to turn initially...
I used 3-In-One Professional: Silicone Spray Lubricant as pictured here: http://www.smallpartstore.com/img/3-in-one-10041-silicone-spray-lubricant-aerosol-can-11-fluid-ounce-3-od-263-length_2354_500.jpg

Help! 5x5 V-Cube turns terribly after lube
Hey SpeedSolving community,
I recently bought a V-Cube 5 and it turned pretty well out of the box, but I was hoping to make it turn better by lubing it up. I bought this Silicone Spray online:
To lube it, I followed the method as outlined here...
