When an F2L case such as this occurs, what's the most efficient solve? It's just that I was joining them first by 3x sexy, then inserting them but that must be the long way! Then I sort of worked out U R2 U2 R', then fixing the cross and inserting. Thanks!

(U2) L2 u L'2 u' L2

What I usually do for that case is temporarily move a cross edge.

Setup (Scramble yellow top blue front) - R2 u R2 u' R2

The way I would solve the red/white/blue corner and the red/blue edge is start by doing an L.

Then I'm left with an easy case that can be solved with U2 R U R' U R U' R'

Then to fix the cross, I just do L'

So the whole thing looks like

L U2 R U R' U R U' R' L'

I do 2x sexy to put the split pair on top, regardless of which of the three wrong slots the edge is in, then d, d' or U2 and insert.

Lots of great answers thanks. This one works for me at the moment. I appreciate everyone's help.

Hey guyz,

I am quite new to speed solving and I was considering getting the new Panshi, would you recommend it or do you think other cubes out there are better.
Another thing, are DIY better than getting already assembled??


Thanks

I would consider buying either a Dayan Guhong V2 or Zanchi instead of the Panshi. The panshi has disappointed a lot of cubers and there was problem with the manufacture(corners breaks)... Theres a lot of videos comparing these 2 cubes so it would be fairly easy to find the one that suits you the best. I don't think there's a big difference between getting pre assembled or to assemble it yourself...Most of the time, when its already assembled, its also lubed.

Can anyone tell me why more than half of haiyan's solves are DNF's?
I looked at his profile and he doesnt have many actual solves.

He did 3x3 solves as BLD solves since the only method he knew was BH.

Old great Rubiks brand 3x3 with questions.

So I just found my old Rubiks brand 3x3 from about 4 years ago and it is extremely broken in and so loose. I actually want to make it an adjustable core because it is so loose. This cube is about to cut 3/4 of a cubie, which is more than my Zhanchi.


So my question is, do you guys have amazing Rubiks brands like this that you haven't modded?
And how can I make this core adjustable?

you can try to apply the methods describe here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiPPFVjja0Q but I think that the effort and money involved might as well be spent on a new cube lol. You can get the best cubes in the world for about ~12 dollars.

Wow. :fp

 

[Ninja Storm]

Wow. :fp

All he cared about was BLD. Didn't he get banned for three years because he lied to a delegate about how many BLD rounds there were at his comp?

Dayan GuHong V2 Help

I have a lubricated 48 point edge mod dayan guhong v2 with torpedoes what else can I do to speed it up? I want to make it as fast as possible.

Re: Dayan GuHong V2 Help

I have a guhong 2 with 48pem and good lube. I also have an unmodded zhanchi, just lubed. The zhanchi was faster out of the box. Depends on turning style though, I'm quite rough - the zhanchi is more forgiving in my experience, so faster for me.

I think there's a limit to the extent where modding a cube will make a difference. If you really feel that the cube is holding you back, maybe a faster cube will help? But then maybe turning accuracy is the limiting factor?

Make it faster by trimming 1 ring off the springs.
It might cut a little bit less than 45 after but it's fast.

How do I lube a wittwo type c 2x2x2 with Traxxas 50k differential oil?
Is there a video???

My experience is that the V1 Wittwo likes a decent bit of lube (30k traxxas or Lubix) on the edge pieces (which will get it on the inner centers. The V2 Wittwo has a much more compact mechanism and it was easy to over lube. Just a little diff oil on one or two inner edges is fine and work in. Your 50k weight traxxas will be fine but just add a little at a time and work it in. Of course, I'd recommend you lube the core as well. There is a good wittwo V1 assembly video on youtube:

That is for a V1

Hi, everyone
I remember seeing a site with algorithms to use to replace the least mount of stickers necessary when changing the color scheme
Does anybody know the site?
