You need to do 240 slow solves a week... ...sorry, just being sarcastic. There is no number, really. Don't see it as a chore. Just enjoy cubing. Do as many slow solves as you want. The next day do whatever, fast solves, slow solves, etc. When you do slow solves, think about the pieces, look...

Don't do OLL and PLL. Instead try to orient and permute edges and solve the corners using commutators.

Hi guys. I am going to participate on a FMC competition and I am not sure if these kind of stickers are allowed: The regulations say: E3) The competitor may use the following objects during the attempt. Penalty for using unauthorised objects: disqualification of the attempt (DNF). ...

Thanks a lot for this work. I remember you mentioned you were writing this. I was looking forward to it.

If this is the scramble of the CURRENT weekly competition, you shouldn't be asking for help, isn't it? ;)

You don't mention what you mean by "responsible". Is it that the organizers should go and catch the thief? Or the WCA should write you a check? Or a written apology?

Newbie question: Recently in a competition I heard someone say: Using the inverse of the scramble is not allowed because of the rule: "E2e) The competitor's solution must not be directly derived from any part of the scrambling algorithm. Penalty: disqualification of the attempt (DNF)." For...

The rule is fine as it is. It doesn't say you have to own the cube, just provide it.

Nooooo! Come on, I was very happy blaming my senility for not getting sub-19. Now I will have to practice again. Congratulations!

Sometimes I see two F2L pairs and choose to do the easiest. I bet better cubers can do more than that. Remember that an algorithm with lower move count doesn't necessarily means it is better or faster. Some of them have a high movecount but are pretty ergonomic and fast.

Come on, seriously? Do you want to connect your brain to that Matrix thingy and learn Kung Fu in 5 seconds?

Thanks. One look stream is faster than two look stream

That James Donahue guy applied the feo algorithm to a 7x7!

It is never too early (or too late) to learn. And the sooner you do it, the less time you waste.

I guess it all depends on WHEN these pianists learned to play. If they started when children, then their brain is made to play, but if they started older, they will have great difficulty to keep up when old.

If a question is not answered in the one answer thread, is because nobody knows, or because nobody cares. In that case, the OP is the one to blame.

The first letter represents the sticker. So, UFL is white, FLU is green and LUF is orange.

I guess companies don't sell "modded" cubes because their main market is not speedcubers. And sometimes, those mods provoque pops in normal people's hands.

You keep stating the obvious.
