Simiar idea to this thread, but focused on cube ratings. For each puzzle you own, rate according to the following out of 10.
Smoothness/Speed:
Lockup Resistance:
Cutting Corners:
Pop Resistance:
Quietness:
Reliability:
Overall:
NOTE: For Quietness 10 = Silent
NOTE2: For Overall, rate your general overall feeling on the cube, rather than an average of the previous scores.
NOTE3: Don't worry about rating a cube which has already been rated, the more ratings the better...
The plan is to collect all the data together, to get an average score for each puzzle. If there's enough information it will give us some nice objective info to compare each cube...
This information is now being used for puzzle ratings on the Wiki. Add here if you want a puzzle rated on the Wiki.
