    A way to solve Rubik's Cube 3x3 without memorization?

    I would suggest Roux because its highly intuitive, but to take it to its full potential you do need to memorize algs. There is a forum about using Roux as a beginner method, check that out because it has a good tutorial.

    Pyraminx Fingertricks Video Request

    Hey guys. My Pyraminx came in the mail yesterday :) I avg around 1 min 30 with my the most basic method. My TPS is PATHETIC because I'm a cube person. Can anyone make a video on just fingertricks?? P.S: I also got my 2x2 and avg around 7 sec with OLL and PLL (I will learn CLL later)...

    What is the Easiest Event to Become World Class in?

    Definitely NOT 3x3, that's prob the hardest. I would have said skewb but some post say not, so I'm not sure.... Lets go with clock since that's what everyone else is saying :)

    You know you've been cubing for too long when... REBORN?

    You know when you've been cubing too long, when you get pissed off when someone is solving with beginner method, because its so slow.

    I am a high school math teacher trying to implement cubes in the classroom

    You are THE BEST MATH TEACHER ever. We have so many cubers in my school, that teachers get pissed off at us and give out referrals! Good luck teaching cubing! P.S: What high school do you teach at, I HAVE TO check you guys out :)

    Problems while trying to improve my F2L

    Wow, I'm exactly where you are. 3 months F2L (4 months total exp), 25 second avg, full PLL, 2 look OLL The only difference between you and I is that my 26 second solves include rotationless F2L algs and different angle insertions. The only reason this is, is that 75% of my practice solves...

    Hey DeeDubb! Great tutorial! Just one question.... Can't you just sledgehammer pairs that have white facing up, instead of avoiding them?

    How many "Slow Solves" should I do?

    I do slow solves everyday, no specific number. It help a TON to make F2L muscle memory. I slow solve especially when I learn a new algorithm.

    I have cubes I want to trade off

    I'm willing to give a 3x3 Stickerless Dayan Zanchi 57mm for your Shengshou Pyraminx I understand if you don't want that, but its not in your collection, so I was just wondering, lol Thanks
