    Just got my shipment in!

    package opening is the best. Just got back from the mailbox, my replacement MF3RS2 stickerless just arrived! I had lost mine a whole ago, and finally got around to ordering a replacement. I was a little stressed out that it was not going to be as good as I remember it (it was my main, for sure)...

Speaking of this kind of thing, when you know ur gonna have some time to kill and want to bring a cube along, what do you all usually bring? Something ur working on? Something you know...

    Yuxin Little Magic 2x2

    So, I picked up the Yuxin LM 2x2, based on how kick butt the LM 3x3 is. Is it my imagination or does the LM 2x2 kind of suck? I mean, I’ll see what I can do with a little setup, but out of the box it seems pretty sludgy and VERY locky. I mean, it is what it is, but given how great the 3x3 was, I...

    MF3RS2 versus MF3RS3

    Who has got or used them both? How do they compare? The RS2 had been my main, and I loved it, very quiet, smooth and fast. I lost it, however, but by the time I got around to replacing it, the RS3 had come out. I chose to seek out the older version again (stickerless, which a lot of placeswere...

    Why you gotta be like that, Mr. Mirror Cube?

    oh, ok, Mr. Mirror Cube, I see how it is going to be... Guess you really gotta pay attention to the direction of the texture on the stickers! This puzzle just got about 10 times more difficult, LOL!

    Retaining information while expanding cube collection...

    was not sure how to title this thread. I can solve 7 different puzzles regularly. But with each new puzzle I learn I grow increasingly more fearful that I am going to start forgetting elements of the previous puzzles. Know what I mean? Does anyone else feel that way, or do y'all just move on...

    Prizes at competitions

    Ok, I'm new to this whole thing, admittedly, but I was planning on going to the WPIWinter Cubing Day competition (just to check it out, not compete), and was looking at the prizes and was shocked. The absolute top prize in the 3x3 competition was a CubeDepot gift card worth barely more than 2x...

    Six color 3x3 barrel cube parity

    hello, all, need to solve pll parity on a six color barrel. The only algs I can find are for 10 color... if I understand correctly, these algs switch the entire column, which is fine for a 10 color, but in a six color, you are taking that column away from its sister (same color) column. Dig? I'm...

    Let's do some trading!

    Ok, thought this might be fun. Let's see who's interested and how it goes. Obviously I'm not talking to you collectors out there who wouldn't part with a puzzle if their mother's life depended on it. The rest of y'all, surely there are puzzles on your shelf that are just, for whatever reason...

    Progression when first getting into cubing?

    just curious how you all went about it when you first got into cubing? For instance, did you stick with your first puzzle type until you got really good? really fast, etc? Or did you branch out first, then come back to a particular puzzle to really make progress? Get me? For instance, I am a...
