Hi, My name is Julianius (nickname Jules) and I am 17. I started cubing around 13 but stopped due to a median nerve injury. About 3 months ago I finally had surgery and I finally got back into cubing after my physician gave a Rubik's Cube to test my reaction speed. Currently learning Roux for...

I recently got the MoYu RS2 M 2x2, and it is my first 2x2. This 2x2 is only $9.99 CAD on CANcube and is meant for beginners. It has no adjustment system, except for a basic screw and spring. This cube works great with Lubicle Speedy in the springs. It uses the same core as most speedcubes, with...

OH, Wait a minute everyone. Sorry, My video somehow got stuck on fast forward at 10X speed. Shoot, that means I'm still an average "Gone-In-60-Second" solver.

Hi! I'm just getting back into speedcubing and I decided to try and learn how to solve the cube blindfolded. I know how it works, I'm just not familiar with the letters yet. Would someone be able to send me a list of all of the piece letters for corners? For example, I know edges are: AQ BM CI...

I am just a noob trying to get faster, it has been years since I have touched a cube, and I picked the hobby up again because I thought it would help with my mental health. I find myself frustrated, more frustrated than I thought I could get because I am making a lot of weird mistakes, there is...

I devised a method for beginners to solve the 2x2 without having to learn many algs. The method consist in intuitive moves and just one trigger and one simple and finger-tricky EG alg. My intention here is not to teach an advanced method to someone that can already solve the 3x3, but spread a...

This is a thread where i practice and learn cases and algs to get to sub 40. Right now i learned intuitive f2l but i also need help and tips with it. so now i have this problem where i see that before i learned intuitive f2l i had a 40 second average on f2l, so i went to learn intuitve f2l to...

Hi everyone, I recently just joined ans i wanted to introduce myself. Im 17 years old and i started cubing 2 weeks ago and 2 days ago i started learning cfop. My main cube now is the moyu rs3m 2020 and its sooooo amazing. If anyone else is new and wants a cubing buddy add me on discord...

Ok so i have a slight understanding of f2l but it takes me soooo long to pair and insert them. I dont know where to got to learn the algorithms and how to take less time trying to pair them. aAmost every YT vid is towards intermediate and that confuses me even more. Can anyone help me or guide...

What is intuitive Cubing and why would you want to do it? Intuitive cubing is solving without using memorized algorithms. If you want to solve with world-class speed, you need to memorize algorithms. But if speed is not your main goal, then there are several reasons to solve intuitively: 1. If...

If you were to teach someone how to solve the cube, what method would you start them off on? Because I might be getting some people to solve a cube soon. But obviously if it's too 'hard', they'll give up. What method do you think is best? Some methods: LBL - One alg 4LLL, Daisy Cross Keyhole...

I’ve never dissembled a cube above 3x3, but I’m considering replacing a slightly damaged corner on my new QiYi WuJi 7x7. 1. Is the right approach to remove a pair of adjacent edges next to it first—by turning those 2 layers to 45 degrees and... twisting/pulling the 2 edges together as one? 2...

I am camping with my dad, brother and I and my brother spayed bug spay and on my Rubik cube can I use water(I have a Rubik's brand cube)

So I recently learnt FMC methods from the Speed cubing review channel and after some days of contemplation, I thought to give it a try. Here is my solve. Scramble : R' U' F D L F2 U' B2 U L2 U R2 U' F2 L2 B2 D2 L' U' L2 B' D2 L2 U2 R' U' F' Pre-move : D' 2x2x2 block : R' F D2 F' 3x2x2 ext : D'...

Hi! I just started cubing about a week ago on the 2x2. Im wondering how long did it take you to get sub 10 averages? Are there any tips on making the first layer since its the one that I lose most of my time on? Thanks for reading, it means a lot to me :)

If you can give me some links to tutorials the you find easiest to learn off that would be nice :D

Hi all, My collection started in 2013 and has rapidly grown since (my collection can be found here). I mostly enjoy solving all kind of puzzles, but I really want to get into speedcubing as well. I already use the beginner's method for over three years and with it I can solve my Dayan Zanchi...
