One-Answer 3x3x3 Question Thread

Do the Valk and Valk Power have the same screws, springs, or center pieces? I need to know because when I bought my Valk Power, it had a Valk core+centers and hardware. I don’t know how many parts to order. Thx

What was Lars Petrus' original method for solving the LL? I didn't understand his text tutorial, but it didn't look like CO->PLL, COLL->EPLL, ZBLL, or anything else I'd expect.

Dunno if this question belongs here, but is this website legit? My friend who is a cuber but does not know much about cubing ordered from here

Weird that you have to give them your phone number to order from their site. It also appears that they don't take their own product photos, which is always a red flag to me.

I hope I dont have to tell my friend that he ordered from a dodgy website... I did tell him to use daily puzzles or speedcube

i would say dailypuzzles personally cause they are closer to me and ship faster, also you have the juicy TNLCUBING and TINGMAN discount codes

With dailypuzzles, they still have the black friday free cube thing, does that stll apply?

Lars in a conversation apparently said it was a random way he chose to do it, so don’t think OLL and PLL is not true Petrus.
It’s CP, CO, EP. He describes CP+CO, EP (COLL), and CP, CO+EP (step 6+7). He also said he was working on a 2 alg combo ZBLL system, where you learn 40 base algs or so, then perform them one after the other to solve the cube, like a slightly longer ZBLL algorithm.

I have completed the white layer on the cube but two of the corners are on the opposite side how do I change them please

I don’t understand, what is your problem specifically? Pictures would help. Which corners? Do you mean they’re flipped. Or are they swapped? Things like that.

 

[fun at the joy]

hold one of the corners in DFR and do R L U2 R' L'

Use the same method you would use to put a corner in. If you put a random corner into where the messed up white corner is, then the white corner is now not on the white layer and can be repositioned.

Ah I think I understand. Follow their advice

Thanks do you have an algorith, head is now mashed can’t remember how I did it

Are you using a tutorial or just doing it intuitively? I'd recommend finding a tutorial, J Perm has a great one. Then just do whatever he teaches you.

Yes, do you do White Cross, White Corners? If not, learn to do it like that, because it’s easier than intuiting. The alg is R U R’ U’, affects DFR and UFR.

So I got two pbs, and I’m asking if I should count them. They were both hand scrambles and the main PB was a 9.8 and the Roux PB was a 14.4. Should I count these?

I never count my hand scrambles, but that is up to you.

Probably not, although you can do whatever you want. Whenever I do hand scrambles I find that I get certain patterns, which means I can execute it faster than normal.

 

[PetrusQuber]

I always do handscrambles, so all my PBs are handscrambles. Depends on how well you did it. I would say count it.

Why don't you use regular scrambles? It's easy and convenient, and it makes your solves seem more legit.
