The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[Cubenovice]

Hi,
I've brought my Zhanchi to school to play with and people got interested in it. They ask me if they can try it and of course they can. Good thing. That is until some people take the cube and turn and crunch and crumble the cube like a plush toy. And of course, any cube would pop. After they make the cube pop they say"Your cube sucks. Even my store bought is better."
I'm like....what?......*speechless* have this ever happened to you guys and what did you guys do?

And this is why you always should always have a spare Rubik's cube with you when you're cubing in public.

Anyone got a QJ megaminx assembly video?

I'm not sure about the video, but assembling a megaminx is just like assembling a 3x3 but with more pieces.

I asked because when i pry open one of the edge, a piece other than the "cubies" popped out. So i wonder what was it for and found no assembly videos explaining it.

Like, a center cap? Or a corner piece?

Neither. It was like an internal mechanism of some sort, but it still works normally without it.

thats good, but graphical moves instead of algorithms would be better.

PLL OLL

Just click on the alg and it sends you to a page that shows you how to perform the alg.

Site like Cubemania

Are there anysites like cubemania.com, except with a larger selection of puzzles?

Anyone have any advise or youtube links to some advise on the best execution of the Sledge Hammer. Having been reviewing my OLLs and PLLs in the last couple of weeks its evident a lot of my lockups come from this trigger. I have tried optimising but unfortunately it is still pitiful!?

I get you point. But they just insult me of having a bad cube, like some people even ENCOURAGE people to not try my cube like "Don't try that guys cube (Zhanchi), if you turn a layer and then turn another layer it pops. It sucks. Worst cube ever." ....

anyway, thanks a lot.

I always do it as like this:
x R' U R U'

Well more like a slight almost halfish x.

Why do mods feel the need to capitalize the name of this thread?

Possibly because it's often abbreviated to the "OAQT".

Can someone tell me the former world records for one handed 3x3, blindfolded 3x3?

Can someone tell me the former world records for one handed 3x3, blindfolded 3x3?

All former and current world records can be found on the World Cube Association listing:
http://worldcubeassociation.org/results/regions.php

Select an event in the drop-down menu and click History to see all world records for that event.

 

[Robocopter87]

What aronpm said.

But also, its a good thing that you are looking into cubing history. Its a very good thing.
