When it comes to silicon shock oil, I did some research and have started thinking that maybe we should have 2 different weights for different parts of the cube. A heavier weight like 40-50 for the core and springs(if you decide to do that) and like 20-30 weight for the pieces? I haven't tested...

No you're thinking of roux. ZZ is a method where you orient all the edges before doing the cross. It allows you to do f2l using only L, U, and R sides and gives you a pre-completed top side cross. I used to like it because it also got rid of y-axis cube rotations (which are the slowest by far)...

If I ever got to the point you're at, Id start focusing on relearning OLLs and PLLs from various different angles. And learning ones that i could perform faster. Just that you know all an alf for all 57 OLLs and 21 PLLs for CFOP doesn't mean you know the BEST algs or fingertricks for them. For...

I agree, lol I'm averaging about 18 secs and I still have to use 2-look OLL every other solve. Memorizing algs just isn't my thing.

lol... 3... the teraminx one, the invention year, and the wca.

When I say possible positions, I refer to the number of positions you can reach through disassembly. When I say legal positions, I refer to positions reachable through turning puzzle. When I say "a 2x2 (or 3x3) cube", I am referring to the 2x2x2 and 3x3x3 3-dimensional puzzles. 2x2 and 3x3...

It wouldn't be as much harder over the regular 4x4 as the regular mirror blocks was over the 3x3 because all the centers and edge pairs would have to be the same size. What i'd like to see would be something like where the core remains the same but the actual shape of the puzzle is a cube...

lol it looks a bit like the mf8 legend crossed between a v-cube (as far as the centers go). did anyone like that? did anyone actually buy that?

I found this a while ago using commutators and conjugates but idk how to write it down in any other way. E = R'D'RLDL'R'D'RU2R'D'RLDL'R'D'R

Hope you enjoy it. full OLL isn't necessary really till you're trying to get sub 15 or below many people would agree. I've been cubing 3 1/2 years now and still haven't finished it. work on lookahead, fingertricks, learning new ways to do f2l cases, etc. Cutting down your cross and f2l times...

I think I'm finally fast enough to race you at 3x3 ...If I do 2x2. And even then you'll win a lot of the time lol.

visually assisted muscle memory. memorize algs and practice them abstractly until you can do them full speed without thinking. then during solves focus on using the alg even if you could save a few seconds by using 2 look. Sometimes I forget algs and have to redo the last step. I'll just sit...

Have fun. My advice, make sure to go to competitions and cube meets if you can at all. They're a lot of fun but they also keep you involved and wanting to keep getting better and better.

Even if you don't make the cutoff times for any of the events, competitions can be fun even just as like a massive cube meet.

Hey I actually live in the austin area too. I've been cubing for three years and in that time i've discovered austin is pretty dry when it comes to other cubers. I've met a couple of people, and even gotten another started a bit, but I'm the only active cuber (that competes) that I've found...

HECK YES! I'll be there for sure! time to get practicing!

Lol 45 minutes in which direction? I'm assuming south but you never know lol. Another thought, I think waco would be an excellent meetup location for both dallas/ft worth and austin area cubers. If ppl are willing to drive an hour to get there. Are there any cubers that live in waco?

A few days ago, I was bored and started messing around with japanese color scheme (switching yellow and blue) on my old lingyun. On american I can do white and yellow, but I almost always do white. On Japanese I've been practicing blue cross and it's gone pretty horrible thus far but I'm...

I live in the austin area (round rock) and I'd love to have some meetups if at all possible. If I don't ever interact with other cubers, I get incredibly bored with cubing. So I'd probably be willing to go to a meetup as far as an hour away (anywhere along ih-35 from waco to san marcos pretty much).
