Yeah, my hands get all black when I take my cube apart.

Ok, so I'll just pop out a piece and lube it that way. Should I only do this once?

As some of you may know, I lubed my cube before. I thought it worked well, until other kids at my school lubed their cubes too... It was amazing! They were all so good! And yet my, though smooth, was very sticky and locked up often. I don't know what I did wrong. One kid suggested that I...

I can't really get him to buy me one though... :(

But now it just isn't...impressive to solve in front of people. I guess I'm out of a pyraminx now. :\

Keep practicing.

(This isn't mine, but that's what it looks like. Hey everyone. I've got a Pyraminx. One day, some kid had the bright idea to twist a corner and try to pull it off. "Stop it!" I say. He says "You just don't want me to take it apart." I reply with "I don't really care, but do it the CORRECT...

Here is the basic idea: You get the entire first layer except one corner. Then, USING THAT OPEN SPACE, you insert the 2nd layer edges. You twist the the first layer side you did to move that open corner around to open 2nd layer spots, and insert the 2nd layer edges with simple 3-move...

At the time I lubed my cube, I jumped from 1:45 in time to about 1:30. It really helped after I broke it in for an hour (It was a little sticky at first) Silicone spray worked great though. :) Graphite powder does as well, but that only lasts for a few hours.

It isn't too hard, I found it out on my own in about 15 minutes. All you need is R U R' and F' U' F, as said before.
