I have an old (maybe around 2011, but don't quote me on that) Dayan Zhanchi. I might have one unassembled too somewhere, but not sure.

Isn't this question a bit silly if you don't require the PR to be in an event you still practise or care about? Like, my PR for Square-1 is from 2007, but this is only because I haven't touched the puzzle since then.

This is purely personal preference! I want to be able to cube with one hand without having a table, for example. This is unrelated to whether it's actually good. :) Thank you for your reply! It contains a lot of things I was still wondering about. I'll ask some questions, if that's okay...

Thank you! This is very helpful. <3

I think I'll stick to CFOP, then. This kind of tip is very useful, as I would not consider doing something like that spontaneously. I checked J-perm's very, very old video about how to get faster at OH, and it contained some tricks like this. Do you know of better/newer/more videos like that...

I have actually never done 4LLL for two-handed because I knew Petrus when starting CFOP and had full PLL already. Would your 4LLL be roughly the same as J-perm's guide for two-handed 4LLL? Obviously with different execution and OH algs when necessary, but I mean conceptually. That would mean...

I want to learn OH and would like advice regarding which method to use and where to learn fingertricks for important algs. Right now, I can solve the cube one-handed in about a minute using normal CFOP and a ludicrous 8-look LL (one-handed, I only know two OLL algs, then T-perm and U-perm, so...

Oh, yes. I started learning Mandarin 18 years ago, and I work mostly with teaching the language or creating learning materials and resources for learners. You can check out the website I linked to (Hacking Chinese) if you're interested!

This thread is probably on-topic, but as I'm not sure in which forum it fits, I'll post it here to be safe. This is about cubes, but not speedcubing as such. I found this quite interesting and thought some of you might as well! Last year, I set myself a small challenge that became more...

I'm looking for a good smart cube! I've tried a fair number of dumb cubes in recent years, and my favourites are, in rough order of preference: GuHong Pro, Tornado V3, RS3M V5 BC, MGC3 Beta. I like all these cubes. I have also tried some cubes I didn't like, such as GAN 356 M and WeiLong WR M...

20 years and still going strong!

Exeggutor, obviously! ;) This is actually my image for this pair, and I'm not even that interested in Pokémon.

I watched the introduction to your video and I think this more or less exactly answers my question; thank you! I would also like to say that your video is pedagogical andwell-made, so I'll check out some of your other content too. Well done! The only thing I need to do now is to figure out...

Thank you all for the help, these all look very helpful!

Is there any good guide for swapping edges/wings on bigger cubes? I assume this is possible with commutators, but I've never been good at those, not even on 3x3. For example, imagine a 5x5 in the current state (the edge facing away on the left is orange/green; everything else is solved)...

I mostly cube while commuting or when I need my hands to do something while my brain works on something else. Simply always having a cube in one's bag makes a big difference! No world record will be broken like this, but slowly making progress, occasionally learning new things and having fun is...

You can get an okay cover from someone on Fiverr (or a similar platform) for $10. I think using smaller, AI-generated decorative images inside the book is less likely to turn people off than having one on the cover. If you spent months writing the book, spending $10 on a cover seems like a...

Will it blend?
