One-Answer 3x3x3 Question Thread

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

Mmf, I guess I can’t be bothered to pick up my phone and look up cstimer every time I feel like stackmatting. If you do it well though, I think handscrambling is fin.

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?

No

I always have csTimer open on my computer, so that I can just un-minimize it, turn on my stackmat, and solve.

I’m interested in looking into the roux method. I already found great Tutorials on YouTube. But now i have one question:

How do you progress in learning roux?

Example Answer for CFOP:
-Beginner Method
-F2L intuitively
-4 Look Last layer
- 3 Look last layer
- 2 look last layer
...

So basically the order in which you learn stuff and when you should learn it.

Any good exercises for solving the cross in a quick time?

Practice trying to get very low move count cross solutions by doing the cross slowly

1. Beginner roux with 2-look CMLL
2. Work a lot on block building techniques. It's hard to get good at it
3. Full CMLL
4. EOLR
5. Some CMLLEO and Pinkie Pie

I recently got a X-Man Bell Pyraminx. It has lube all over the outside. It’s stickerless and glossy, which make it want to stay on. How do I get it off the outside?

 

[PetrusQuber]

Damp towel with soap. Water vs oil won’t cut it, so we need a bit of soap.

I just use my shirt or a plain cloth

The problem is it's really glossy.

What ZBLL sets contain edges already in the correct position?

It worked on my X-man Bell and just about every other cube I have. you may have to take apart you cube and wipe off the lube inside then relive yourself

ZZLL contains about 80 cases.

Is there a algorithm set for inserting an F2L pair whilst making sure 2 opposite edges are permuted? 2-gen (LU) would be great.

Where can I get MGC Elite Centre Caps without the indented logo? My friend need s them for blind solving, thanks!

The first thing I would try is order a spare cap from speedcubeshop.com and asking for it without a logo.

It’s called phasing, it is not an alg set but you can use algs for advanced phasing(like F2L), the wiki article is great
