Just a quick average of 5 I filmed as I've not filmed one in a while. Pretty decent, although I've done a lot better. I got a 16.20 average of 5 but the camera decided to cut out half way through :( Tips and advice welcome as always, Thanks :)

So it's just over an hour to go until Derren Browns supposedly predicts the UK National Lottery Numbers. The show is going to be played live at 10:35pm on Channel 4, at the same time as the Live Lottery Results. It's the first in series called "The Events". I've read a number of peoples views...

I just got back from a week away in Iceland and my experience with the Airport Security checks got me thinking. Do any cubers who travel a lot to competitions have trouble when taking cubes in their Hand Luggage through the scanner? I got stopped both on my outgoing flight and my return...

Hiya, Im not sure whether I've just been really unluck, or if theres something I'm doing wrong to my cubes but I've owned two Type A cubes now. The first one was the Puzl Speedcube (I've been assured this is Type A) which was White. Over time it became slow and felt gummy and horrible to...

I filmed an average of 5 the other day and thought I'd post it up on here and get some advice/comments and stuff. I've improved quite a lot since my last video a month or so ago so this video is to show my progress. This is around a year since I began cubing...

I got a new camera for my birthday (Kodak Zi6 HD) so I decided to do an average of 5 video on my birthday. Average was 26.20 Seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8DQSj__VjI Advice and constructive criticism much appreciated.

Hiya, Just recieved my 2x2, 4x4 and 5x5 package today. I'm not allowed to use them yet as they are a birthday present. When I opened them up to test they were all ok the 4x4 cube had a problem where the two middle slices where kind of stuck together. I can move the two middles facing the...

I have owned a white type a diy for about 6 months now and up until about 2 months ago it was fine. In the past 2 months it has seemed to lose its plastic/crunchy fast feeling it had when I got it. At first it seemed to make much more noise and it was really fast and smooth. Recently its began...

Hiya guys, I just collected my black Type A and my Diansheng from the post office this morning. I have just got round to sorting out my diansheng. At first iot seemed really bad but once I loosened the screws and lubed it its a really fast cube. When I was working in the lube 5 of the...

After speedcubing for a little under a year now and reaching a 27 second average, I think its time I try some new areas of cubing, particularly one handed. I just have a few questions though before i begin. I understand that it is a matter of personal preference which hand I pick for one...

Does anybody know of any shops online where I could buy some good Silicone lubricant or Jig-a-loo (Not 3-in-1, I've tried it and hated it). I'm trying to order it from the UK if possible. Can anyone from the UK tell me about where they get theirs / What they use, even if they don't buy it...

I'm not sure if this is the right area, but its about buying a type d cube. I was planning on buying a Yuga/Type d from 9spuzzles seeing as cube4you are out of stock, but I'm having trouble figuring out the currency. When I use a currency converter it says that 50.30 Yen for a cube is roughly...

Hiya everyone, I just wanted to see if anybody knew any more than I do about the "Competition Standard Speedcube" from puzl.co.uk. I have been using mine for a few months now, and it seems like a really good cube, it turns really smoothly. Having said this, I've only ever owned this cube and a...

Hiya everyone. I thought it was time i began to learn plls to start a 3 look last layer. I have decided to use cubewhiz (run by bob burton). I am having trouble with what he says on how to distinguish between cases 1 and 2. "In cases #01 and #02, I first AUF (adjust the U-face) until the...

I recently bought some new a stickers for my rubiks cube from cubesmith. I heard good things about the bright colour scheme, and how they helped to see the colours quicker. They arrived yesterday and since then ive noticed my times have become significantly slower. I am getting 50+ second...

Just got a rare scramble on jnet, which only needed 1 double turn to finish the cross, then lots of easy pairs. L2 U2 L F L2 D B' D' F' L B2 R2 L U2 B2 U2 F U' F' U D2 B2 R2 U' R2 New very lucky pb for me of 33 seconds, beat my pb by over 11 seconds although im not going to count it.

Where can i find the CALcube timer. Ive had a search around google and even on the forums but can't find it. Ive seen it use on a couple of Harris Chan vids and I like how you can hold down spacebar before you start. Can anyone help me out? EDIT: Also, im assuming it can be used as a regular...

Hi, At the moment I am using a LBL method and have a PB of 1 min 17. Im using : Cross on top Corners Flip Second layer Orient Edges Permutate Edges Permutate Corners Orient Corners (The method by pogobat on youtube / the one that comes with a rubik's cube packet) When should i move on, what...

Hi there, Im still fairly new to cubing and at thge moment im using a very beginner oriented method, the one that comes with the rubiks cube (pogobat/dan brown on youtube does a good video). I can achieve times of about 1 minute 40 - 50 everytime. My main concern is that the last layer is...
