Homeschool Cubers Thread

[SolveThatCube]

Anybody know a good 6x6 and 7x7 I could get? All I have is ShengShou.

And does anyone else here use Hoya?

QiYi and YuXin have the best 6x6 and 7x7s.

I love how nothing in this thread is about school lol. But yeah, been homeschooled since kindergarten so about 10 years now. Pretty cool and pretty scary.

Why scary?

I learned from here,

Thank you! I will definitely check it out.

@Competition Cuber What's your WCA ID?

I use reduction on 6x6 and 5x5, yau for 4x4. You could get a Weishi or the qiyi Wuhua, I have heard that it is merely preference. I use a Weishi, but that was all the guy who was selling cubes had.

You do realize that argument with the average dropping 3 seconds is so flawed... when you are that slow just by doing like 20 solves your average drops by a second. I went from 45 to 35 in like 4 days just from like an ao100.

Well thats with some people. Max got sub 20 in a week. The guy also did say he had hit a wall at 40 secs, not just he was keep on getting better. I do see what you are saying about getting faster when you are slower.

What do you guys do if your bored? I do either of these two: 1. I completely dissemble a cube (including centers), clean it, and then relube it for no real reason or 2. I lay down on my couch and tackle some 6x6 solves for no reason.

I also clean and lube cubes for no reason, and sometimes I will do a 2x2-7x7 relay.

Edit: I will also play TF2 some.

...does anyone else here use Hoya?

I use Hoya for 4x4, though I don't really do 4x4...
I just use redux->CFOP/Petrus on 5x5+
I don't practice big cubes muchat all.
