Probably, yeah, I guess it depends on how much you practiced that day

Ok this isn't a cube in any way but it is a colourd puzzle that twists and here's the things heheh one of the beads come out and u can mess up the row there in by sliding them

So I know there's puzzle solvers out there how do you actully find out a solution because I always just follow videos and there none lol

Here's the thing

Type in google

baffle twist and slide

And it's well all of the pictures hehe

You can look at some reviewers to see how it works or ask me for pictures but is there a way to make my own solution

Looks sort of like an expanded 15 puzzle?
I suppose if you know how to solve a 15 puzzle, you might be able to extend techniques to help your solve?

Commutators and conjugates are almost always options too.

I have a gen 3 StackMat timer. I was wondering which length the audio out jack of the timer was, i.e 2.5 mm, 1.5 mm. I’m asking because I’m interested in getting a 3.5 mm to whatever length audio cord that I can use for computer timing. Thanks.

1a. Is there somewhere I can see a list of all the moderators/can someone who knows who all the moderators are update the wiki page? It hasn't been updated since 2014.
1b. Is there something that distinguishes moderators from regular members?

2. How does the title underneath your username get changed (like kirjava's 'colourful')? Is that a mod/staff-only privilege?

 

[greentgoatgal]

I have known the answers to all your questions in the past, but now I can't find any of them. This is infuriating.

You can change the wording under your name. I know I did it on a different forum I'm in, and I've seen non moderators on here that have changed theirs. It's somewhere in the personal details related section.

There are like ten moderators. And there is definitely a list. I have seen it. But now I can't find it.

Sorry that's not so helpful

It's under staff members on this page

Afaik they can do things like merge other people's threads, edit other people's posts and give out infractions or turn off replies for threads. They may be able to do a few other things but I'm not aware of them. Might be something to do with featuring threads and stuff.

2. How does the title underneath your username get changed (like kirjava's 'colourful')? Is that a mod/staff-only privilege?

It's actually a premium member privilege iirc (though this may or may not still be ongoing). There are a bunch of other privileges premium member have though. You can become a premium member here

Iirc the premium privileges changed some time in 2015 along with the forum software change? Maybe older premium members had the ability to set custom messages, but it doesn't look like something current premium members can do.

Oh, that page. Yeah, I know about that. Do you know is there a particular reason the page isn't titled 'moderators' or why moderators aren't called 'staff members'?

I was under the impression that there were more than just those on the staff page.
Specifically, when threads got featured more often, dene would be the one feature my threads, even though he wasn't on the staff members thread.

And by 'distinguish', I meant visually. As in, I can go to their profile and there would be a little tag that said moderator or something. But, that was assuming that those on the staff page were the super moderators, which is what almost all of them call themselves, and that there were also normal low-level moderators who weren't on the staff page.

There is something wrong with that list. The 2 most recently added mods are not listed there.

Well, they weren't there earlier today, but @Brest added them today. (mark49152 and TDM).

There were a few more (like Dene, perhaps) who have since vacated their moderator positions. The site has been running for over 10 years now, so there has been quite a bit of turnover.

I'm not sure about the difference between "moderators" and "staff members". I personally am primarily a moderator for the sake of running competitions.

Question: How far do people usually travel for competitions? Is it worth it to travel, say, 100 miles, if you're a beginner and only know 3x3?

It depends where you are in the world really. Distances that are fine for people in the US to travel would be near unthinkable for a large number of Europeans.
