    I feel like a failure

    I have been cubing for 6-7 weeks now, and I can't get lower than a one minute average. But that's not the bad part. I have memorized 4 look last layer, I know intuitive F2l, and I have been practice constantly. Yet is still have this awful split of : 10-30-10-10 (cross-f2l-oll-pll)

    Tips on F2L?

    I can't seem to do it right. (btw my times are 30-40 seconds but its kinda redundant as i ONLY learned f2l, no OLL (I made my own memory-thing thats like a 3look OLL), and 2-look PLL. I'm too lazy to learn the other 2 since im working on f2l. Any tips? I memorized none of the f2l algorithims, so...

    Any decent intuitive F2L tutorials?

    Yeah basically the title. I tried to learn intuitive F2L but none of the tutorials really helped me. I think I just don'lt understand the concept of moving the cube without ruining the white cross, positioning the two layers correctly, and still doing it in a minimal amount of turns.

    F2L with minimal cube rotations

    So there have been a few discussions on this ( here and here ) but they are almost a decade old I'm pretty satisfied with my times and am taking step back to experiment with some new tricks. Instead of rotating the cube on F2L I'm trying to do only d and d' moves. There are some exceptions to...

    Keyhole F2L Problem

    I'm learning keyhole F2L, but I wonder what I should do if all the middle layer edges are already in the middle layer but not in the correct position. Should I just move one of the middle layer edges to the top layer using the keyhole and then move on from there?

    New to speed cubing, looking for a first cube

    Hello, I started cubing a little less than 3 months ago, and have gotten faster and faster since then. I use a new rubik's cube (version 2.0?) that can be found in Target or Walmart, and have gotten an avg. of 5 of 1 min 29 sec, and a PB of 1 min 15 using the beginners method. But I feel like I...

    Fairly New To Speedcubing, Have A Set Of Questions I Want To Ask

    Apologies in advance if any of my questions have been answered prior to this :P 1. I have a good feeling that this has been asked already, but how long would it take for a normal person to learn CFOP? Please just an estimate. 2. I've heard being color neutral is really helpful. I was just...

    Algorithmic F2L Guide

    I made this guide to show how to solve F2L agorithmicaly. It teaches the fundamental F2L cases (R U R' and R U' R') and how to transform the complex cases into the fundamental ones. Note that it don't show the AUF between the complex and the fundamental cases so you have to have learned the...

    Practise schedule?

    So I have been using F2L for a while but my recognition is poor, I have a decent time of 42.53 but I want to get faster. I have been using the beginners method for the last layer but I want to learn 2-Look OLL and PLL, I was just wondering, should I focus on my F2L first? or learn 2-Look OLL and...

    Hi, Kwabena from Australia

    I'm Kwabena, 16yrs old, and I've been cubing for about 3yrs now. I began cubing when I saw my friend playing with a dreadful $2 cube and I just had to know how to solve one. So this friend of mine loaned me a cube and the rest was history :) I began speedcubing recently though on my 16th...

    Hi from speedcuber50

    Hi! I've been speedcubing for a few years now. Well... not really a few years non stop. I started cubing for myself (i.e. not my mom doing it for me!) about three years ago. I got the times down to about 1:2x. I then put my cube away, and left it for a year or so. I've recently come...
