I just bought the Rubik's brand 3x3x3 cube and it it's so stiff my hands literally get tired from solving the first cross.. So obviously I need to lubricate it, I went to a hardware/construction store thing, when I told them I need silicone lubricant they just looked at me with dumb faces and...
So I got a Rubik's Ice Cube about 2 years ago and I used to play with it, learned how to solve it and all but it was always extremely hard to move. It would keep locking up and my wrists hurt so badly from solving it. About a day or 2 ago I picked up the cube again and it was SO hard to move...
So at the moment i'm pretty new to speed cubing. My record right now is 1:17. I use the standard method that comes in the booklet with the cube. I'd like to know, what strategy do you guys use to achieve like 12 seconds? I would be fine with doing it in 30 for now xD I also don't know what that...
I posted this a while ago before, but I just wanted to show people who haven't already seen it.

Ok, because it is old 5x5 mech and pre-lube with a gooey Mefferts lube (but a very even coating) you must clean it.
remove caps adjust tension
Lube and break in.

Ok, so I am really sick of people asking what kind of cubes should they get.
It seems that I have started the "The XXX Thread" wave at this forum, although some of the threads are pretty useful, the invarible title really annoys me...

I got a Magic puzzle from Cube4You today. This is my first time using a Magic, so I didn't really know what I was doing. I folded it up, and... well... I can't get it back to a flat position again.
Is there any easy way to do this?
BTW, my puzzle is an 8x2 Magic. >_<
