I think it would depend on the delegate.

Yes, I think it's kind of like the pooping thing where if you pop and put them in wrong you can take them out and switch them.

tighten the cube a little... the only thing i can say, loose cubes threaten explosions, trust me, i;ve had enough experience with guhongs flying apart, torpedoes didn't help much

Technically, no.

"5b1) If a competitor chooses to repair the puzzle, then he must only repair the defective pieces, and must not use pieces of other puzzles. Penalty: disqualification of the solve."

solve it like a square-1, I mean its just another sq-1 inside a sq-1..

Middle layer stuff doesn't work, can't even get middle layers to cube shape

Does anyone know how the HK Now Store 2x2 (http://www.cubedepotusa.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2601799) compares to other 2x2's?

Why are so many OH solvers using their left hand?

I think most of them are using there right hand to write and do other things but cubing with left, why?

When people solve with 2 hands most of them just hold the cube with their left hand with the occasional L/L' and U' turns. They usually use R,U, and F to solve the cube and it's easier to turn those layers with your left hand for OH. I use my left hand partly because it's so much weaker than my right hand and it's helping my piano/violin/other stuff that requires a good left hand and because I only use R, U and F to solve my cube.

Mainly because the majority of solvers prefer RU to LU moves, so if you grip with left hand, you can do RU moves easier.

I'm pretty sure it's just a LanLan with different stickers.

if an edge peice pops out and you finish the solve in comp do you have to put it back in or is it a valid solve

You have to put it back in.

Apparently I closed it by accident somehow when I posted to it. Sorry about that - it has been reopened.

Does this timer have a data port and what kind of cable do I need so I can connect it to my computer?

I found a cheaper timer that has a data port but I still need a cable. What kind do I need?

What keychain cube should I use to make a 3x3 Hexagonal Dipyramid from and what store can I get the best deal on the cube?

 

[FlyingFingers]

I know this sounds wired but I don't think I can so R / L' / L Properly?

For the Right face I use my thumb in front and my index middle and pinky finger in back.For L/L' I use the same but Inverted do I can do the same.

 

[Sahid Velji]

I see nothing wrong with that. I keep my index finger on UFR when I do an R move so I can do a U move right after. Same thing for the L move. Try this next time: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?8710-The-one-answer-question-thread

You dont need a fixed way to turn. Just do what is comfortable in the situation. For example in the H perm R2U2RU2R2U2R2U2RU2R2 you can use your right wrist for R2U2 then R with your left ring finger.

Or in the U perm R2'U'S'U2SU'R2 you can grip with thumb on UR and middle finger on DR so you can do S' with your thumb.
