    Just got my shipment in!

    package opening is the best. Just got back from the mailbox, my replacement MF3RS2 stickerless just arrived! I had lost mine a whole ago, and finally got around to ordering a replacement. I was a little stressed out that it was not going to be as good as I remember it (it was my main, for sure)...

    Forgot a cube!

    Ouch! Yeah, when I travel I like to pack up this old toiletry kitbag I’ve got. It can hold 6 cubes. Usually I bring a 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, one bigger cube, one mirror/bump cube, and then something I’m trying to re-learn, or brush up on, or something like that.

    Forgot a cube!

    Dang, sitting at the garage waiting to get my car fixed, and I forgot to bring a cube!! Anyone feel the pain? Speaking of this kind of thing, when you know ur gonna have some time to kill and want to bring a cube along, what do you all usually bring? Something ur working on? Something you know...

    Yuxin Little Magic 2x2

    Thanks, just wanted to make sure it wasn’t just me! I’ve got a stickerless MF2, which I like very much (especially since I dyed the white face black! Always wanted one that way, but I could only find custom cubes that way, and they were too expensive, so I did it myself), so I’m all set for a...

    Yuxin Little Magic 2x2

    So, I picked up the Yuxin LM 2x2, based on how kick butt the LM 3x3 is. Is it my imagination or does the LM 2x2 kind of suck? I mean, I’ll see what I can do with a little setup, but out of the box it seems pretty sludgy and VERY locky. I mean, it is what it is, but given how great the 3x3 was, I...

    MF3RS2 versus MF3RS3

    Who has got or used them both? How do they compare? The RS2 had been my main, and I loved it, very quiet, smooth and fast. I lost it, however, but by the time I got around to replacing it, the RS3 had come out. I chose to seek out the older version again (stickerless, which a lot of placeswere...

    Yuxin Little Magic 3x3

    I love my little magic 3x3. Very fast, and the colors (stickerless) are great, they really pop. I suppose the only real downside is it doesn’t feel like it’s all that terribly stable. It’s not as good as my MF3RS2, which is my main, but I still use it all the time. Well, the MF3RS2 was my main...

    Cubing FML

    I'm a 47 year old grey beard. Sitting in the dentist office waiting room cubing with a timer on my phone while my son was at his appointment. Small child and his grandpa walk in. Small child making noises about "where is the toy basket". Grandpa says he doesn't think there is one. Small child...

    One-Answer WCA Competition and Regulations Question Thread

    Thanks, all, for clearing up "time limit" and "cutoff" for me. A couple follow ups, if I may? 1. Why is the time limit for 3x3 often 10 minutes? Or, at least, is usually much longer than 4x4, 5x5, etc... for instance, I am looking at the time limits for an upcoming Boston event, and the time...

    One-Answer WCA Competition and Regulations Question Thread

    they both seem to be referring to a set period of time, but I can't figure out specifically what they represent on a tournament details page... What's really confusing me is some events have both a time limit and a cutoff listed for a one round event, and they are different.

    What's your PB 3x3 single?

    And now for the rest of the human race that can't do insanely fast sub 10's....... Did an ao50 on the plane ride to my vacation, hit pb's all around. Single: 47.51 Ao5: 58.57 Ao12: 1:03.932 That was my first sub 1 min ao5. Pretty pumped.

    Anyone using Yuxin Little Magic 3x3?

    And, inconclusive I know, until I run an Ao50 with my older cubes, to make sure it's not simply that I've gotten that much better (and some of it prolly is that), but I just BLEW AWAY all my PB's with the YLM. Mind you, I'm not very fast, so I've got large margins to improve. But, pretty cool...

    Anyone using Yuxin Little Magic 3x3?

    I just got my YLM stickerless today and I gotta say, it's a pretty sweet cube. Very light, fast and snappy. And I absolutely love the colors. It feels a little like the warrior w, but is much crisper with fewer lockups. I can't really compare it to my MF3RS2 cuz that cube has gone a little...

    Anyone using Yuxin Little Magic 3x3?

    I have Yuxin Little Magic coming in a shipment hopefully next week. I don't really need it, I've already got a couple budget cubes that I use all the time, but it was on sale, and it bumped my purchase up to the free shipping range. Since I had heard good things about it, I figured what the...

    Why you gotta be like that, Mr. Mirror Cube?

    Ok, i am sad to say the experiment failed. All sticker textures on all sides lined up perfectly, and I still get this. Not exactly the same as in my first post, but will the same alg finish it? Thanks to everyone for their responses! EDIT: Nevermind, I got it!!
