Hi, Gordon from Swizerland here!

All 416 Stickers applied to the Tuttminx:
[video=youtube_share;nnzmwpxSAio]http://youtu.be/nnzmwpxSAio[/video]

I took off all centercaps without scratching to much stickers off again. Some of the centercaps were realy tight and hard to remove. I had to use all kind of tools. However, now that the screws are loosened, it turns quite well. Sometimes some of the faces catches with others during turning, but it's not a problem.

Some of the colors on this picture looks the same, but in real, all differ. Some are similar to others, but not too much.

Soon I will adjust the tension a bit, put on the centercaps and then on to scrambling...
 
Ok, I think I found a good tension. Some faces still lock up with oder faces during the turns, but for the moment it's ok like this.

Scrambled:

Well, kind of ;)

It was an easy scramble, I've solved it in less than an hour :D
 
I see I have to do som 4x4 again. I didn't touch it for two or three weeks now...

My single BP is ~30 seconds faster than my second best time and approximatley 60 - 90 seconds faster than my usual times. And your official avg of 5 is 10 seconds slower than my avg of 5 PB.
So I think you passed me already. We will see in the weekly competition :)
 
Yes, but I'm still not that happy with the tensions. If I turn one face, some of the neighbour faces get slightly out of allingment and then I cannont turn any furhter. I have to turn carefully...

Maybe I have to lube it too, but first I'll try to solve it.

I did not see your result in the weekly contest for 4 X 4? I had 3:36.12 average which is one second faster than my official average ;) I am pretty happy with these times (if you come to think I was doing 5 - 6 minutes just a few weeks ago). I have been doing 5 X 5 for the last few weeks just one solve every weeklu competition. And I just can not seem to get faster than 18 minutes.. LOL
 
No, I was to late for the weekly competition. I thought I can still enter today. That's why I did this avg of five.

I didn't touch my 5x5s for ages, but that's because I don't like the two I have. I wanted to buy a ShengShou last week on zcube.cn but...
My current PB for the 5x5 is 8:29.60. But that was at a time when I did one solve per day. Maybe I'll try a solve today.
 
Wow... 7:00.548... damn half second.


Btw. I'm doing the scrambles from the weekly competition. This was the second one. But I had some luck, two tredges where paired up correctly without doing something special, or at least without doing something I was aware of :)
 
I ordered a magic from zcube, it came with extra strings.. wow.

I had one as a pre-teen.. I have NO clue where it ended up, but now I have one again lol And I got a youtube tut to learn to solve it hahaha
 
I have my Magic and Master Magic also from zcube.

Years ago I had also a Rubik's one. My father knew Rubiks and therefore we had lot's of puzzles from him. Unfortunately I was not really interested in them back then so one day we gave them away... :mad: Only two Cubes are left, from which one is in a signed box, so at least something...

Here's how my Magic looks at the moment. I guess I'll have to restring it...

But there is also a SS 4x4 which wants to be modded and a V-Cube 4x4 which needs to be assembled, so I don't know when I'll have time to restring the Magic.
