    Square 1/ Square 1 purchase ?

    Supposed to say Square 1 / S Square 1 Good day. I am looking into purchasing one of the above and have 2 questions? 1) Which would you recommend and why? Are both worth having? 2) Mefferts vs. Cube4you purchase (if I purchase just one cube Mefferts is cheaper with the free freight)...

    Mefferts 4x4 and Jigaloo....anything I should know

    before I just shoot some into an opening? Are there any melting problems that will mean I need to take it apart, spray-dry-wipe method? I killed my Eastsheen shooting it in but my Rubiks 4x4 and 5x5 have been fine so I am inclined to think it is okay. Thanks for your input. I searched for...

    Lubing my 4x4 Eastsheen = nothing but problems

    I had a perfectly good cube, 4 months old and has never had a lockup or anything of note until today. I just couldn't resist lubing it on the advice of many people on here and it just suuuuuucks! Literally within seconds had my first of a bunch of lock ups which would take a few minutes of...

    White Cube on The Office last night

    I am almost positive that Daryl the factory manager was playing with a white 3x3 on the Office last night. I think this is the first time a white cube has been featured on a television show. Main stream man....the world is catching on again.:cool:

    Any Shepherd's Cube or Maze Cube fans?

    I really dig the Shepherd's cube for a nice change of pace from the regular cubes. I like it because it is harder but not crazy hard. Is the maze cube a similar thing or is it just silly only solve it by luck hard? I don't want to buy stickers if it is just going to be a turn hope turn pray...

    4x4 Edge Pairing Y axis versus X poll

    I have always paired up my edges horizontally but after watching Eric's vid it occured to me that vertically allows for faster fingers movements leading to faster times so I decided to try it that way and possibly easier recognition (not sure on that yet but less looking on the bottom seems...

    Cube4you White Cubes

    I ordered an old style type A for my nephew because his store bought Rubiks is just too stiff for him right now and the lack of corner cutting bothers him (especially after using my dyi's). I have a few Rubiks Dyi's, couple of 25th anniversarys and an original Magic Cube from the very early...

    Silly question about Pochmann method edges

    If this is a redundant question I apologize....I searched for the answer but I didn't see it. Okay, I am new to BLD Jargon but I will try to explain it clearly: When doing the edges, I realize that cycles need to be broken and restarted when the correct UR peice is in the UR position (I...

    Riddle me this.....

    I am an old guy (for this site anyway) of 40 and the inner kid in me loves playing with my cubes. I want to star blindfold solving and after some investigative reading it has gone from being impossible to something that sounds achievable. I know that it is more difficult to pick these thing...

    5x5 x centers compatibility

    are the x centers from the retooled 5x5 compatible with the old style 5x5's...if they all break as quickly as this one it will quickly cost me the price of a new cube if I go the cubesmith route. I have one of these and it seems I will have to buy one of these Very...

    Rubik 5x5 and Cubesmith order - backup parts for future breakage?

    Just getting a professor in the mail...the one in the big package and I am putting in an order to cubesmith today. Is it worth picking up some extra parts for the professor (ie. common breaking parts) or should I wait and see what breaks. If a certain thing breaks all the time, I might as well...

    Discovered a great applicator for Cubelube.

    So, if you have used cubelube, you have more than likely had the syringe go crazy and spurt 20 times too much lube all over the place. I am pretty sure this has happened to everybody and that it would even happen to an accomplished brain surgeon. So, old Otrivin or other brand Nasal...

    Man, all you guys in the States can buy your Rubik Revenges at Amazon, ToysRus, Hasbro, etc for cheap like borsht. None of those companies will ship there Rubiks products to Canada due to trade agreements which I can only assume come from having Rubiks.com based in Canada; Amazon.ca...

    Hey. I am trying out both the 6 pair and the 2 pair edge systems and am having a problem with the piece I need constantly being in the same u/d level as the one I need to pair. The system I used before involved a lot of R2 or L2 -- I only use to do the top and bottom centers and leave the...
