How many solves would you estimate you have done on 3x3 in your life?

Is it better to practice regularly but do shorter sessions, or is it more advantageous to do long averages: e.g. 200 300 solves but less regularly. The second option might be preferable because you get the chance to take a break which is considered to be helpful. However maybe the first option...

What do you look for during pyraminx inspection? I am mostly talking about LBL, but you can post for other methods like Erik's keyhole tutorial.

Post what finger and in what direction you flick on OH for the following moves U, D, F, B, R, L, M, r', l, U2

Okay, so I recently found this thing on a certain F-Perm: R' U2 R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' F If that alg is performed on a solved cube, the switched pieces are in the left and the 1x1x3 block is on the right. This means that alg swaps pieces on the left. This is where it gets...

If anyone on the forum has Xbox live, PM me with your gamertag, and what games you play. :D

I got my Shengshou 5x5 today, so I decided to make a review: As, said in other youtube videos and threads about this cube, I think it is amazing. My V-5 is too tight for me, and I cannot speedsolve very well with it. It also doesn't really seem to respond to lube. The ShengShou 5x5 is extremely...

I don't know whats wrong with the core of my 4x4. If you look closely you can see that one of the arms of the core is bent over to one side. I don't know if the pieces are pushing it or if the core is bent. Can anyone help? Thanks

Can everyone post the alg they use for two edge parity during edge pairing. ( I dont really know what its called hence the horrible description ). Thanks.

Whats should a sub 20 user of CFOP average as far as turns go, Thanks.

So, when solving Ortega, I notice that there is a case that is kind of awkward to fix, the way I do it anyway. Its when you have three pieces of the first side in place and the last piece is also in, but it is twisted clockwise. Can anyone post the most efficient way of fixing this? Thanks...

In the last hour I got a print-off of the algs for Ortega method and started learning. I have been doing slow solves because I need to double check the alg sheet halfway through a solve sometimes. I can honestly I am having the most fun doing this than I have with cubing in the last month. Do...

This alg wasn't in the Wiki, so I put it in. Its a lot nicer than some of the other horrible algs on there, however its not nearly as good as the standard M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2. The alg is, (M2 U')5 (M2 U) I was just messing about and I found it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6lkkYKlim0 Aw, yeah theres a drought in Texas :P Thoughts and Advice welcome :)

uh, I thought Yu Nakajima had quit cubing, but he's on the 2011 US Nats competitor list? Someone explain.

So I was wondering.. I have been stuck at 23/24 seconds for a long time. Is it possible to improve on this without practising my lookahead or is it entirely necessary to practise F2L alone. Thanks

I know there is probably 100s of these threads, but I don't know what else to do. I haven't improved in ages and I need to know what areas to focus on practising. I made a walkthrough solves video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2kgrKKuqcQ Any tips/help/advice? Thanks :)

Any cubers who can come to scotland any time in the summer post below and maybe we can get a meetup going

I am wondering how many people think there is a better 4x4 than the mefferts. If so, please specify.

Has anyone got a mefferts pyraminx that they are willing to sell. Or do you know anyone that would? Thanks.
