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...

(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...

Hey everyone. Recently, I lubricated my cube with silicone. It's pretty nice, it takes a tad bit of force to get the side going, but when it does, it goes well. Now, about a week later, one of my friends lubricated his cube with graphite powder. I'd never heard of this before, and have never...

I was planning on buying a Rubik's 4x4 and a 5x5 soon, but I'm wondering if Eastsheen cubes are SIGNIFICANTLY better. My friend's Rubik's 4x4 is looser than heck, and pieces just pop out on their own free will. My other friend's Rubik's 5x5 is nearly impossible to turn, and it takes hours to...

I use the old simple method for the second layer. (U' F' U F U R U' R' and the mirror) It works fine. Recently, I saw a method that does the entire first layer, except for one corner. Then, it puts in the 2nd layer edges with that open corner, reducing the amount of moves by a substantial...

I have a few questions before I lubricate my cube. 1: I'm using the cubesmith stickers for my 3x3x3. Can I wash these without them becoming ruined? 2: What if I accidentally spray the stickers with the silicone? Will they be ruined, or very slippery? 3: Anything else important I should know...

I have this friend, who is faster than me at cubing. I don't like that, so I want to learn more algorithms and beat him. My question is, which ones will I use the most often, and will save me the most time? I know these: U' F' U F U R U' R' (Edge from UR to FR) U R U' R' U' F' U R (Edge from...

I've seen several different methods of the cross, and was wondering what you do, why you do it, and which do you think is the best? The three I know of are: 1: Just solve the pieces right into the centers. 2: Randomly put the edges up, and then fix them. 3: Randomly put edges onto yellow side...

I've searched and searched, but can't find out how to take the 2x2 apart. I've seen a few on how to put it back togethor, but not apart. I want to take mine apart because it is incredibly hard to turn. Some sides are really easy, and this one side takes quite a bit of energy. I'm scared to...

Hey everyone. It really bugs me that I can't find any guides that represent the EASIEST way to solve the 3x3x3 cube. That is, with the least amount of memorization, and where time or the amount of turns don't matter. Throwing these unnecesary, though useful, extra algorithms at people thinks...
