So at ToW yesterday, somebody gave me 15/16ths of a master magic. At the time, I was thinking "I could make a 3x2 out of this". So I gave it a try today. I used the type D and type C stringing method from Lucas's site. The only 4x2 move I can do is the one you do at the very end of the solve...

This is for beginners. Intermediates need not view this whole thread. I'm aware that there are several threads like these, Choosing a Cube, for Noobs In particular. However, these have not been updated for quite some time, and I think I hold enough knowledge to recommend cubes to newbs. This...

So I was thinking of starting a cubing store. Sorry to all of you the thought it already existed :( Do you think it's a good idea? I'll probably start small with the 3-4 popular 3x3s, 2 2x2s, or something like that, just to see if people will actually buy :p If that's the case, then I'll expand...

hi, my name is Idiot. I was trying to remove my tiles, and I stabbed my finger. But srsly. I was trying to cut off the tiles, with my box cutter/exacto knife, and at the 4th one, I stabbed my finger -_-. The superglue on that stuff is insane, so I was wondering if there was a safer approach...

I don't believe this could go into OAQT thread, since there could possibly be multiple answers.. So, Maru... I've heard that Maru (3x3) has very primitive cubies, but their hardware is much more advanced. What makes their hardware more "advanced"? I've just ordered the Maru Core and Hardware...

I'm sorry if this has been already asked, but I couldn't find anything on the subject... How do you cap edges? C4Y cubes come with the edge caps, to make their edges sealed. I want to do the same. I don't have materials like epoxy putty, or anything. Would Lance's capping method work? The...

Should this be in BLD discussion? Because it says its for BLD dicussion and stuff, so I don't know if this question should go there. So, i'm starting to get serious about learning 3x3 BLD. Right now, I'm following Badmeph's BLD tutorial. So, i'm learning Old Pochmann for just edges. I've...

I've just been wondering how many people read manga/watch anime, and what their favourite characters are. I'll list mine. (in no particular order) Sawada Tsunayoshi Spanner Superbi Squalo Reborn What a coincidence.. they're all from Reborn! :D

I'm looking for a cheap (so preferably broken) Mf8 square 1. my friend was playing with mine, and she lost one of the edge caps. I will pay for shipping, but this is my first time doing this kind of thing. do you use paypal??? the other option is that i could meet you/ you could meet me. i'm in...

There are different Cores, for different cubes. But does it REALLY make a difference? i've heard people say that a core will not make any significant changes to how the cube feels and works. But, i've also heard that the ability to corner cut/ how much it locks up is based on how hollow the...

if anybody has any cores they could sell to me, that would be nice. Note : im hoping,but its probably not going to happen.

ToW was fun . harris almost got a world record. to bad i didn't film it. at least i saw it :D its not the biggest tower, but it was fun. i think the point of cube towers is not to get the storeboughts. in that case, i lost.

hi! does anybody have a set of stickers to sell me? Peter D. has sets, but it's hard to contact him. he told me to meet him, but its hard to contact him. (canadianCUBING chat -_-) Particularly, i need a set that includes black stickers. it'd be great for Peter D. to post here, but i'm...

YTV is making the longest signature ever! i think this might only apply to canadians, because you have to choose your province/territory. i think people should enter because i want a new holiday! http://worldslongestsignature.ytv.com/ i am the only name there with the name 'Dillon' and...

how is popbuying quality? is it good, is it to be expected? i want to know because a car ran over my cube, and it exploded :P ouch. so i'll just use the cube for spare legs, or arms, or whatever goes wrong with my next cube. i'm also wondering how long the shipping takes to canada. i have to go...

my C4Y doesn't seem very good. it's not like i expected. i expected something incredibly incredible. my storebought has been modded (like crazy, i must add) and it spins incredibly well. my diy isn't like that. i just want to know if there is a mod out there that improves the spinning. it feels...

i just signed up for Toronto open Winter 2010 :) yay for canada! anyway, back on topic, when i signed up i ticked off 'this is my first competition' then, on the second page, it asked for my WCA ID. it's not mandatory, but do i have to create one? or will mine be created by the WCA guys?

what did YOU do when you were approaching sub 30? were you still learning 4LLL? or practising F2L or did you start learning your PLL's? im asking because i want to know where i am compared to other people. my personal best is actually 31 seconds, and i get 35-40 seconds other times. my cross is...
