    Online Piracy Poll

    I'm doing this survey for an English essay. It'd be a huge help if you guys could just quickly fill out the poll. If you'd like to explain your answer or if in my midmorning rush, the poll turns out all poopy and not specific enough, that would help too.

    Need help with composition of functions

    OK, so I had this problem on a test last week and I haven't gotten it back yet so it's been really bugging me for a few days now. If f(x)=sqrt(x-1) and g(x)=2-x^2, what is the domain of f(g(x))? I figured that only 1 would work and was wondering if I was right.

    $50 to spend on cubing stuff - Any ideas?

    For Christmas, I received another $50 Visa card. I honestly have no idea what to spend the money on. Last time I received one of these cards, I spent $35 on my own stuff and bought a DIY for one of my friends with the rest. The card has a service fee that applies after the 3rd month so I'm...

    Easy Math Question - 1

    OK, the other math questions are complete gibberish to me, so I'm gonna make up my own easier set of problems. What is one way to find a sequence of squared numbers using only one perfect square and simple addition? To make your solutions shorter, you can express some numbers as derivitives...

    What to do with my ES4x4

    I'm wondering what to do with my Eastsheen 4x4 to make it better for speedcubing. I've read a couple of threads on lubing it and most of them with negative results. I adjusted the screws very very little and it's loose enough for me but not enough to pop. Should I just keep breaking it in?

    [Unofficial] My first sub-20 on camera

    I've gotten faster averages, but I'm too lazy to get out my camera for those. This average, however, was with only 3 or 4 warmup solves so it's not that bad. I had some weird and insanely annoying lockups during a few of those solves. EDIT: I just noticed I did not edit this thing at all...

    Video Editing

    Does anyone know of any video editing programs better than Movie Maker? Also, I want to start programming before school starts to get a head start. Are there any easy to understand tutorials on that?

    Sub-3 on 5x5

    I'm kinda stuck on 5x5 now. I was just wondering how to get consistent sub-3's on it. I use the one tredge at a time pairing method. My centers are around 1:00-1:20. I get the white center, then the yellow, then the last 4 centers. The 3x3 part is about 45 seconds for me.

    Broken Magic strings

    I broke 2 of my loops on my Magic and tiles flew. I want to make new loops out of fishing line. I found the proper length and I need to know a strong knot to tie the line in. I can tie a good square knot and with a few extra tweaks it can hold a lot of stress while stringing. Are there any...

    What's with newbie cubers lately?

    I was in a chat room with another cuber a few days ago and he asked how many algs I knew and what my average was. I knew ~35 and averaged around 25. He knew almost 90 algs and averaged 45 but was still getting minute solves. It turns out, he jumped straight into Fridrich and learned most of...

    F2L to LL ratio

    I currently use Fridrich and average 28-ish. I was wondering how long more experienced cubers' F2L takes compared to their LL. Right now, I have 20 second F2L and 8 second last layer, so a 5:2 ratio. Is it similar for you guys or is it completely different?
