The old WR was beaten 3 times in the same competition because everyone at the Trentin Open 2011 was given the same 4 move scramble.

How many female cubers are sub 15? (officially and/or unofficially since I'm sub 14 but can't sub 16 in comp)

He linked to the 2x2 single records. top 3 people broke WR at the same comp so they had to have had the same scramble.

You can get female rankings at iwca.jp ; other than that it's basically a mobile-optimized version of the WCA site.
To answer your question directly, 47 have a sub-15 3x3 average.

Found a clock on ebay in a collection. Just want to know if it is worth 26 bucks or not

The clock is the Langao clock not the Original Rubik's brand. The Rubik's brand clock has yellow pins.

I know that. Just figured it might be worth getting other puzzles for the same price as a 20 year old rubik's brand. and lingao and cubetwist clocks are really hard to find

Edit: Just foound an MOA clock for $12 dollars. never heard of the brand before. Is it a good puzzle?

Not really I know of Icubemart, Wallbuys, Cube4you, Lightake, and 51morefun that sells the newer non-Rubik's brand clock.

no

no

I agree with you Ben. On Ebay its a hit or miss on getting the right product on ebay. You might not get the same product that is described or you might get an unusable broken version of the product.

Would supergluing the locked internal edges of a wittwo effect the cube badly in any way? Mine keeps having the internal pops.

Tighten your cube. Generally, you don't want to super glue anything unless a piece is broken.

Are the new Funs Puzzle cube (black and cloudy white ) legal in competition even though its 2 colored?

If it's the "illusion" cube then yes. The only reason multicolored stickerless cubes are illegal is because they provide extra information when sides are partially turned. since the puzzle you are talking about does not provide any extra info while solving. It is legal.

Also is there a place where I can buy Fitted stickers for my Dayan Megaminx if not then How do IZO Megaminx set look on a Dayan Megaminx?

Measured all 3 of my megaminxs(chinaminx, QJ, mf8). They were all the same size give or take a mm or two.. each edg is approx 33mm. between a slice it is approx 40mm with splits at ~14 and ~26. I have not purchased a dayan yet, but If its measurements match you should be fine with any standard minx set. Unfortunately, with the growing number of brands with minute size difference of various puzzles. It seems like standard sets are what we are stuck with. I look forward to stickering my mini 7x7. and still need new stickers for my latch cube.

Thanks for the info. The Dayan Megaminx is about the same size as the chinaminx but a bit bigger then the QJ.

When should you replace the hardware in your cube, ie the screws and such?
