Hello friends, it's been a while since I've been an active cuber (not that I'd consider myself "active" right now) and there have been some changes in the community. My biggest issue is that my favorite timer, GQTimer, is no longer active. Can anyone recommend an online timer with native...

I love my V-Cube 5. I've replaced my V6 and V7 with Shengshous and will probably swap those out for Moyus but my V5 is my best cube.

Do some slow turning 3x3 solves. Time is irrelevant so long as you're turning the cube the entire time. Plan your cross and execute it slowly enough so that when you're done you immediately begin solving your first F2L pair. You can speed up through LL but you should take it slow through F2L...

My friend is currently designing a cube but he's having some trouble with dimensions. His core is all done but I can tell by looking at it that if it were to be put through a 3D printer the core wouldn't be able to handle the stresses of cubing. At lest speedcubing, it may be possible to use it...

I feel as though if I attempted (and completed this) I'd definitely get to sub-20 easily. Maybe after I finish OLL. I've got like ten left or something

I'm so frustrated right now. The only bright spot is that It's only one session and I'll improve more anyway. It's not like she broke my cube or anything.

Don't be afraid to rotate during F2L. B Turns can be really awkward

Spent about 3 hours doing 4x4. Set new PB for single, Ao5 and Ao12. Did ~50 solves when my mom asks to get on to check something. When I get back on SHE HAD CLOSED THE WINDOW!! I never improve in 4x4 so it was an awesome session and now it's gone. FMCL
