    How to develop finger strength for cubing

    See video. Things to work on: 1. Gripping a bar with weights or bodyweight 2. Gripping bricks 3. Fingertip Pushups Results: Never clumsily drop your cube again! Faster turning speed! My form is not perfect, but you get the idea. That's why I'm not the fastest. I would like to...

    Optimal 2x2x3--Humanly possible?

    For most FMC solvers, finding a 2x2x3 less than 10 moves is often the first step to a solution. I usually try to build several random blocks several times and usually achieve it after applying a premove. However, that is not the way Johannes Laire's cube solver ( http://laire.dy.fi/jarcs/...

    Computer-Real Cube Confusion

    I practice computer 4x4x4 more than any other type of speedsolving. I'm at around a 70s average with around 20s centers, 25s edges, 20s 3x3x3, and 4s OP, 2.5s PP. I have a problem with real cubes. I get around 110s average with 22s centers, 55s edges, 25s 3x3x3, and 5.5s OP, 3s PP. I practice...

    Temporary ban request

    Could some moderator temporarily ban me from this site for 1 month until the AP exams are over so I can study for them without being distracted. Thanks, Wuqiong

    SAT advice and discusion thread

    Finally got back my SAT score from the March 2009 test. Reading 730 Average Math 790 Bad, probably one silly mistake Writing 710 Good. Not great, but not bad. I guess this is it? Or should I take it again in June? Anyone else took the SAT this year?

    Color Neutral?

    When solving BLD, I always have Blue at front and Yellow at top. Sometimes, my buffers "UBL" and "FD" are solved. If any other piece would be solved, that's good, but when these 2 pieces are solved, that actually adds one more item for me to memorize and solve. It's pretty annoying, but could be...

    Pyraminx contest

    Scramble all 4 tips randomly (do all tips, not the the tips part of a random scramble). Inspect for 5 seconds. Time the solve. Take an average of 12 or more. Post your average(s).

    Distractions while cubing

    Turn your sound on. Random friends were trying to distract me by making funny sounds while I was cubing in the school hallway afterschool.

    Freestyle Corners for Dummies: R2 Variant

    The idea behind this method is the same as R2 (actually, I use U2). For R2, you solve 1 piece at a time, but there is that confusing toggling of the R layer (or U layer in this case). For BH or TuRBo, it just isn't easy for me to learn which sticker cycle associates with which alg. Why not just...

    K4 ELL?

    I'm trying to get decent at K4. I can do it in about 3min now compared to 1:30 with reduction. I learned about the method from Fallofshadows and Pembo on Youtube. I do Opposite centers, 3 edges, all centers, pair 4th edge, Solve 1st and 3rd layer using Fridrich, insert 2nd layer, CLL (2 look)...

    12 cubes for $50 youcandothecube.com

    This weekend, my cubing club teacher just random got a cube and solution booklet in the mail. He didn't order it or anything, it just came to him for free, probably because he is a math teacher. It came from http://www.youcandothecube.com/ The logo sticker says "you can solve the Rubik's cube"...

    [Unofficial] 4x4 reduced in 36 seconds

    Solved in 1:03 due to PLL parity and horrible stall at the beginning of 3x3 stage. The reduction was PB by 5 seconds, but whole solve was 2 seconds worse than PB.

    [Unofficial] 4x4 solved sub-1:13 twice, Wuqiong Fan

    Any suggestions from fast people? This is what I get when I don't mess up. Sometimes I mess up on the last 2 centers or lose my ability to look ahead in edge pairing or DNF on PLL parity through typo.

    Big cube turning speed (3x3 stage)

    I have a ES 5x5 and my turning speed on the 3x3 stage is horrible. Cross is really bad 5s compared to the usual 2s. F2L is OK, at least sub-20. But LL is horrible. It takes me about 9s to do the G perm rather than 2s on a 3x3. The layers always misalign and everything locks up. What can I do to...
