I was just looking into the history of slice moves, and noticed that the SS Wiki contains a mistake in the explanation of E moves: The E layer moves in the same direction as the D layer. I don't have a seperate account for the Wiki, maybe someone can fix it?

Hi all, I just had an idea, and I've searched the forum, but I don't think it exists. I thought maybe it would be nice to have a scramble generator that allows you to practice specific situations in BLD solving. The idea is that practice can be more effective if you target specific skills...

Hello, I am wondering if anyone here knows good software for practicing multiple choice questions? I am looking for software that can repeat certain questions that have been answered wrong previously, and mix the order of the possible answers. I know that I can use google, but maybe someone...

Hey guys, Some people in the company I work for have asked me if it's possible to get stickers with their company logo (in color, spread out over all 9 stickers on one face). Do you guys know if cubesmith would be able to do this for me? Any other suggestions? Thanks! Btw: It's only about...

Hey guys, I was just thinking about what would happen if people would practice solving while looking through a small tube, so that you can only see a very small part of the cube at a time, so that you can see only 1 cubie at a time. In order to do this fast, you'll have to develop an efficient...

Hello everybody, Occasionally when I cube a lot, I get blisters on my fingers. Just like beginning guitar players. I currently have one on my index finger... But I had blisters from R' with the pinky (OH) too... Do you guys know if there are ways to prevent this?

Hey guys, I recently noticed that I sometimes end my scrambles (not the computer generated ones) with sort of an F' with my right ring finger, and it's a pretty nice and quick move... But after thinking about this, I came to the conclusion that I never actually use it in a solve. So I looked...

Hey guys, I've switched from <R,U> to <M,U> U-perms for a while now, and I have my own way of executing it... I didn't think it was very original, but Erik said I should make a video; he thought it was pretty sweet... So here it is! My ways for doing U' and M are a bit uncommon maybe (but not...

Hello everybody, I am looking for some 3x3 cubes that are bigger than standard, but still quite fluent. It doesn't have to be ultra-speedy, just easy to move and non-popping (the latter is probably most important). It's intended for somebody who wants to perform a solve (or at least something...

Ok, I haven't changed my sig in idk howmany years, but I am just wondering if anyone really knows what it's about. I was just wondering... A very short and simple question, do you know what my sig is supposed to mean? If you know what it's about, DON'T mention it, DON'T talk about it...

Hey guys, I've been thinking about how hard it would be to build in sensors in all of the 6 centre pieces of a cube that can detect both clockwise and anti-clockwise movements, and connect them to a computer (possibly through some sort of wireless connection). It would be really cool if that...

Hey guys, Looks like I am going to be in (the center of) Brussels on monday for a short time (from around 10:00 until 14:00). Are there any cubers here who would like to join me for lunch? Drop me a line or PM... Bye! Joel.

Hey guys, I am not really sure if this section is also used to ask for help, but I am sure nobody would mind if I ask this. I found an algorithm for generating mazes: http://www.vulcanware.com/cpp_maze/maze.cpp And I am trying to compile this with the command g++ -Wall -o maze maze.cpp...

Hey guys, As those of you who know me noticed, I haven't been cubing that much.. I've been dealing with other issues in life recently. Today I have been thinking about a comparison that has been made by many more people; The Cube can be compared to life. From what I understand, Erno...

Hello everybody, Not sure if this is the correct forum, but here goes: There are a few items missing in my cube collection right now, I think I might have lost them at competitions. First, there's a toolbox that I used to have. It was black, with a yellow grip. It had different...

...But I like oneliners. Can we put a limit on the length of the signatures, and the size of the fonts within signatures?

Hello everybody, DanH suggested to try this scramble for FMC: F R2 D2 F2 D B' F L2 R2 B2 U B D U L2 D2 F2 R2 F2 R2 D U' B' F' U. And even though I am not a great FMC cuber, I was able to find a 27 move solution within an hour or so. Anyone wants to try to beat that? ;)

Hello, Last weekend, Erik and I had a funny race, where we both finished at exactly the same time! Too bad we were using only one timer... Analysing it frame by frame however, I can't decide who wins. So.. You be the judge :)

Hello everybody, I am pleased to let you know that I found a decent free (no, didn't want to pay :)) webhost to host my website. I had to make a few adjustments, but my site is back online now. Of course, this means that anyone who has links involving URL's starting with...

Hello, I finally got sub20... On a Japanese color scheme. Last weekend I visited Erik, and we both made ourselves a cube with a Japanese color scheme for fun. Today I tried an average and got 18.16. Too bad I had two bad times over 20, it could have been sub18 easily.. :). Oh well...
