Hey People. I have a project on the Rubik's Cube at school and I'm having some trouble on finding some websites (other than Wikipedia, we aren't allowed to use that) on the origins of speedcubing and how it changed, etc. etc. For future use by other cubers and for my use it would be great if...

Hi, I have went through Guhongs, and Zhanchi's, but I still haven't got my perfect cube. I tried the Lubix Zhanchi and Lubix Guhong and they didn't work out. The problem is that my Dayan cubes are very easy to get dirty, and it limits its ability. I just feel the Dayans lose speed and...

Hi everybody, I have recently created a new cube timer for speedcubing applications. Most timers out there are perfectly fine for timing applications, but I think they lack the possibility to see my progress over time. So anyway, it is a simple cube timer that allows you to time your...

Hello all of you chatty UK folk Today while browsing in TX Maxx I noticed there was a three puzzle set in the bag/tools/man section that contained three puzzles for £7, which separately would probably cost almost £30. It included the first brainstring, which is pretty cool (I really like...

Lately I have been feeling that the speed at which I execute algs is too slow. My average is around 30 seconds with my LL being about 8-12 seconds providing i don't mess up. I use a 2-4 look last layer. What I do is make a cross on top which I normally do with vhf2l then I do a COLL then PLL...
