    My GTS2 went to Cuba

    I made an order from thecubicle.us (GTS2, lube, parts) and I had it mailed to my ship (I'm in the Navy). I checked the tracking info at USPS, and saw this. That's the Zip code for the military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Perfect. (Standing by for cubing puns)

    Accomplishment coins

    What if we had WCA coins made for each speed solving milestone? In the U.S. Navy, we have Challenge Coins. They make them to commemorate special accomplishments like "crossing the line," or for members of organizations like like the First Class Petty Officer Association. Each commanding officer...

    Magnetic FeiTeng 57mm 4x4 Ao5

    The competition was Northern Neck Winter 2018 This average of 5 is done with a 4x4 speed cube made by Cyclone Boys called the "FeiTeng." It's 57mm instead of the standard 62mm, which makes it very easy to solve on. I also magnetized it with weak 4x1mm N48 magnets on the inner layers and strong...

    Sculpted/Convex Galaxy Megaminx

    Here's a simple mod I did to my XMD Galaxy Megaminx. The centers and corners have sculpted tiles, and the edges have convex tiles. It makes it really easy to manipulate and do turns. I'll bring it to Northern Neck Winter 2018. If anyone is going to that, I'll let y'all try it out. What do...

    35% Trump Tax = a $27 Valk

    With Trump promising to impose a 35% tax on all imports to the US, that means Chinese cubes will cost more, too. The Valk at the Cubicle is $20. And 35% of that is $7. That means the Cubicle would have to raise the price to $27. Would you be willing to pay an extra 35% on your cubes? What are...

    Rent in Hong Kong? ..er..Bangkok?

    What was wrong with the site this morning? I came here and it said it was a site for shopping for apartments in Hong Kong. (Also, the icon for the website is still a little white house in a cyan circle.) Anybody else experience this? What did you see?

    Silly things YouCubers do:

    Some of them will announce "FIRST TURNS" before turning the cube. They'll use freakishly large knives to open boxes Record video of an Ao100, but only show their best 5 and call it an Ao5. Any others?

    Mod my Meiyu (FAIL) while I wait for the Wuque

    My Aosu, Yuxin Blue and Meiyu were all good puzzles, each with their own pros and cons. Buy I have been feeling like there's gotta be a better way to design a 4x4. With the release of the Wuque far in the futurr, I decided I needed to take actions into my own hands. I decided it was time to do...

    Temperature according to cubers

    Here in Oklahoma right now, it's sub 20 outside. (Fahrenheit) So, it's colder than my 3x3 pb, which is only sub 25. How about you guys?

    Pro tip: Prevent AoSu center caps from popping off

    This is my lovely wife's idea for use on any puzzle. Use fingernail polish on certain parts that sometimes come loose. This will add just a small layer so that it will fit more snugly inside the piece it fits into. Let it dry, then put it back together. Thoughts?

    What will the next gen of 4x4's look like?

    What can we expect from 4x4's of the near future? What brand will dominate the 4x4 market? We haven't had any major innovations lately. I feel that with as awesome as 3x3's have been recently, you'd think we could get a 4x4 that can reverse corner cut better than what we've seen. Thoughts?

    Use a straw to tension your 4x4

    This will prevent the center pieces from getting all scratched up from the Phillips screwdriver. Works well for all even numbered puzzles. Thoughts?
