Not true. Wouldn't come close to that amount. To get a good quote, go to twistypuzzles.com and ask the forums there. They are more experienced when it comes to pricing rarer/more unique puzzles.

Learn the advanced cubeshape method. Couldn't link you to a tutorial or anything but they exist on youtube and there's a chart somewhere with all possible cubeshapes and how to get them to a cube. Using that method the most moves it would take to get to a cube is 7 I believe.

I have my Lingyun pretty tight. Because when it pops it explodes. Lingyuns are super fast even when they are tight.

And you really should use the OAQT for stuff like this. Pretty much all the threads you make could go there. Just tryin' to help.

I've been cubing since last year.
And ONLY practiced 3x3 two hand speed ALOT and now I average 13 to 14 sec. usually 13.
I started getting boring so I stared OH and Blind fold. It was okay but i wanted different types of cube.
and bought a 2x2, but still isn't fun enough.
So i'm Thinking of getting bigger cubes.
Im getting 4x4 for sure, and one from the three 5x5, 6x6, 7x7
which ones good to start with?? or play with???

Get a 4x4 first, and see if you like bigger cubes. If you do, go ahead and buy a 5x5 or 6x6. I'd recommend Shengshou VIII for the 4x4, and Shengshou for the 5x5 and 6x6.

first rule NEVER USE VASELING It will ruin the cube.

Does LingYun Torpedos fit on Zhanchi'si?

Hello everyone! I was wondering if Lingyun Torpedos or Guhong Torpedos fit on Zhanchi's pieces, because it always pops, I already tensioned it but sill popping, also does DIY Kit (Zhanchi) comes with free torpedos or I have to buy it apart?

 

[Noahaha]

So I came up with my own 3x3 method and I want to see how fast I can get it. Unfortunately I need some new algorithms. I was wondering if there is a program where you can just fill in certain stickers on the cube and have it generate an algorithm just to solve those stickers. For example, for OLL you would put in the F2L and the top color sticker positions but tell it not to worry about the other stickers on the LL cubies. Does such a program exist, or do I need to attempt *shudder* trial and error?

 

[cubernya]

Lingyun II or Guhong II, yes they fit
Lingyun I or Guhong I, no they don't fit (torpedoes from lubix)

I have one but I found it 3 years ago and can't find it any more but why not try cube explorer

I'm a little bit confused about how this can help me.

This should work for you.
I'm interested in your method, would you mind sending me a pm explaining it?
