I'm not watching 16 minutes of videos to help you. How about a list?

im not listing all 70 of my puzzles but I have lots of 3x3s some 2x2s, 3 4x4s 2 5x5s, 6x6 in the mail 3x3HD, truncaded cutter cube, a fused cube, mefferts Vulcano cube and some other puzzles

You could probably buy any sort of new puzzle, just make sure you don't look up a tutorial and it should be difficult enough to satisfy you.

Why don't you solve for speed now. You average from what I have seen of you 45 seconds. Try to get fast because you have been cube for just as long as me 2.5 years.

^ Dayan Gems, axis cube, super 3x3xN, Latch cube, Dayan Bermudas, crazy megaminx, crazy 3x3s, helicopter dodecahedron, crazy tetrahedrons, v cube illusion/flag cubes, star minx, those egg things?


EDIT: epic ninja'd but like everyone else, I think you should focus more on speed. I don't have a lot of puzzles but I focus more on speed than anything else.

Roux question. After orientation of bad edges, how many cases or algs does it take to do steps 4b AND 4c.

Another question, how many algs or cases would it take to do the entire lse in 1 look?

 

[Jaycee]

# of Possible permutations for all 6 edges * # of possible orientations? Just a guess.

 

[PandaCuber]

# of Possible permutations for all 6 edges * # of possible orientations? Just a guess.

according to gilles roux's page, there are 9 orientation cases and 3 permutation cases. so 9*3=18. Not possible..doesnt include LR edges..

 

[Specs112]

9*3=18

Check your math.

 

[PandaCuber]

Check your math.

LOLOL Cant you tell im beast at math? In my defense, its 1:45 am >.>

9*3=27..right?

Is it possible to get sub 10 with completely intuitive f2l?

Or do I have to learn hard cases? Can someone show me hard cases zz

 

[emolover]

It is completely possible because you end up finding your own advanced cases.

 

[Michael Womack]

can someone explain to me how the pin mod for the 6x6 works and is it really necessary to do it?

It's really labor intensive, but it's apparently amazing. Alternatively, you can just send MM&Pi your cube and he'll do it, albeit for a price.

I think Feliks use intuitive f2l, but I can be wrong.

The difference between intuitive and algorithmic F2L is only how you learn F2L. Eventually, you do intuitive F2L enough that it becomes like algorithmic F2L, although the "algorithms" that you're using might not be the fastest.

Would you put maru smooth tiles on the guhong or wait until you get 1/2 bright cubesmith stickers to put on them? It's a brand new guhong but the stickers are really crooked.

I need a bit of help/guidance with my Zhanchi that I got 2 days ago, right out of the box, I didn't do anything to it, mainly because it's my first speed cube and I am not very handy at modding a cube, (or anything at all) so I was wondering, what should I do to make it faster/better? I played around with it quite a lot so it should be broken in quit well by now. Also, I don't know if it came pre-lubed or not as I can't really tell, should I lube it anyway? http://www.speedcubeshop.com/apps/webstore/products/show/2524192

Lubing it certainly wouldn't hurt. If it feels too tight, you can loosen it. Also, taking the torpedoes out can help reduce some of the lockups. Other than that, just keep breaking it in.
