my avg is 1 min.. i am going to buy a new 3*3*3 cube.. can you please tell me which brand can i buy?

 

[BluShehn]

I'm learning Old Pochmann for BLD and I had a question about breaking into a new cycle.

I use a lettering scheme, and D and E are on the same edge piece. If D was already within my first cycling of pieces, I can't break into a new cycle by switching my buffer with E, right?

EDIT: I posted this in the BLD one question thread as well, but this thread is more active

For the level you're at I would recommend a Shengshou Aurora. It is a great cube for beginners/intermediates, but still suitable for the pros. Also it is quite cheap.

Where is a good place to bulk buy cubes? Like 100+

The best source is always the manufacturer. 100+ is not much though, so I don't expect any luck there. You can try with sites like lightake.com. They can give you a significantly better price for big orders.

So far the best price I've found was from hknowstore.com at 192 dollars incl. shipping to europe.

The cubes are cheap, it's usually the shipping that kills it.

For 3x3, does WCA use 25 or 20 move scrambles?

no

For 3x3, the scrambler generates a random state of the cube and finds a quick "solution" to get the cube from solved to that state. It isn't random moves.

You have to break into a new cycle with a piece that hasn't already been swapped. So yes, you're right.

Where do OLL #s come from? I am finding that if I search for "OLL 49" I get different OLL's from various sources (youtube, the wiki, various cubers webpages, cheatsheets, etc.) People also use different "names." Is there an official #ing system?

 

[AmazingCuber]

FMC= Fewest Moves Counted.

Isn't it Fewest Moves Challenge?

The wiki's OLL page is what most people use.

I think so.

Did 25 3x3 solves to measure these splits: Cross+1, rest of F2L, LL

entire avg 25: 15.92

avg of Cross+1: 3.71
avg of rest of F2L: 6.51
avg of LL: 5.70

Which thing does it look like I need the most work on?

I'd probably say Last Layer. But your splits are pretty much where they should be.

I'd probably say Last Layer. But your splits are pretty much where they should be.

Which means he has to work on all of them.

 

[ianliu64]

Okai I think I need sum work:
Cross: 2.5 - 3 seconds
F2L: 7-8 seconds
2 look OLL: 3-4 seconds
PLL: 2 seconds

What do I need 2 improve on

 

[Poke2000]

I think you need to improve your cross and learn full OLL
