Can anyone point me to a basic Roux tutorial? I know a beginner method that I learned from DeeDub, but I really need help with the first two blocks. I’m old and stupid so the more basic the better. I don’t know CFOP.

So we can’t use a cube that has a printed logo on it? Even one that you can’t feel? What’s the rationale behind that? I understand if there was a sticker on it you could determine where one of the centers is with the blindfold on, but why no logo at all? I just bought and really like my...

I’m looking for a 5x5 that has bigger pieces. I’m learning 5BLD, and the cube I have, the pieces seem tiny and it’s hard to make sure I’m turning the correct layer. I’m a casual solver so I’m trying to make it as easy on myself as possible. Thanks!

I can see my ranking, but is there a way to find out the total number of rankings? Like I’m 171st for 4bld, which I think is pretty good, but if it’s out of 171, that might change my mind…. 😀

I’m thinking about making my rs3m 2020 into maglevs but I use them for multi BLD and I seem to remember a video where the guy put a bunch next to each other and the cubes repelled each other. Anyone have experience with this? Or if you have two cubes with maglev can you try it? Thanks

I’ll preface this by saying I’m a casual solver but I have been to a few competitions, and I do watch some cubing on YouTube. I also think the monkey league is an amazing idea and with the increase in technology there are even more options. I wonder if there’s a way with a smart cube and an...

So right now, I spend most of my time trying to come up with words for the letter pairs on the fly. I know many people create a list of all the letter pairs and have one word for each (like 552 or something right?) But I was thinking can’t I just have an action and a person for each letter and...

Is there a specific type to use? How do you modify it to hold a card?

Do many people blind solve the pyraminx or square 1 or kilominx/megaminx? Even the 15 puzzle. I was thinking about starting a Facebook group where there would be weekly competitions but for as many different events. Im wondering if there would be enough people.

How do they determine if it was a misscramble? I don't get it, if they scramble it and someone solves it, how can you tell what the scramble was? Thanks!

I saw Berta Rubik look at a scrambled cube, then take a solved cube and make it match the scramble. Is there a tutorial for that?

can you use stickerless cubes in competition now? And I'm trying to get my daughter to enter a competition but she wants weird colors for her pyraminx (gold, green, aqua, and silver). Can you have weird shades for a competition?

So I'm learning 4BLD centers, and I'm a little (a lot) confused. I was wondering if someone could clarify a couple of things. So I am using this scramble over and over until I can solve it alone. R L Fw' D R2 Rw2 Fw' U F D2 F L2 Rw D' Uw Rw2 R' L2 F Rw U' F' D2 B' U2 B2 F R2 Rw B2 U B R' Rw U...

A blind solving t shirt. Can someone create one?

So, what does the hobby/community need? What can I/you/we do to make it better/bigger/cooler/more accessible/etc?

I'm still stuck around the 6 minute mark, and I know it's my memo that would help me lower the time the most. What I'd love to "hear" is what people are "thinking" when they memo. Meaning it would be interesting to hear people talking out loud what goes on in their head while memo'ing. It...

What does this mean: [U': [U' R' U, L2]] Specifically, what do the brackets mean and the colon mean? It seems like there's so many more moves for OP versus 3style... And on the speed solving wiki, there are average number of moves per method, but I don't see it for blind solving methods. Any...

Let's say you're a 43 year old guy that just registered for his first competition. Let's also assume you're only doing 3BLD because that's all you're interested in (other than MBLD which isn't an event at this comp) Let's also assume you're still learning, and you're really slow (~5-6 minutes)...

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed if the average times of all competitors changes at different competitions? I guess the best example of what I mean is when the world record was broken, or any solve under 1 second say, since they all get the same scramble, do all the times come down? Or only...

My daughter really likes the 2X2. She has a PB of 22.12 using LBL. I know if she learns Ortega, she'll love getting faster. She is working on being color neutral, and I can work with her on making the first face more efficiently, we found a good OLL tutorial that she likes. She can do the...
