QJ is the cheapest I can find. $5.58 on FastTech.

If you're looking just to learn skewb, get it, but I won't be that good in case you want to get practicing.. I bought mine looking for the cheapest as well and it's not that fast, pops a lot, has tough springs for the bearings, it's awful.. Get a lanlan, it's the most widely used, I know it will replace my qj..

'Did you know?'

Can someone explain to me what the emoticon(I guess) :fp means? Random question I know, but I've been wondering...

Question for the delegates, wca people, board:

Is it mandatory for a competition to have the year it is being hosted in its official name?

Also, is there an specific thread to place questions to the wca people, delegates, board, etc.?

Go to the WCA official forums.

its different depending on area. Toronto comps would prolly have different cutoff times than comps in the UK for example.

Best Set of Algs

What is the best set of algorithms to learn for CFOP or ZZ in general?

 

[TheNextFeliks]

Go to either the Wiki or BOCA. There is no best set of algs. Different algs suit different people differently.

 

[cubingboss]

Well then where would good place to start be?

Oh wait do you mean like OLL/PLL? Algorithm sets? Definitely OLL/PLL.

 

[cubingboss]

Well i meant like for skips or just to make the next steps easier

What is the best set of algorithms to learn for CFOP or ZZ in general?

CFOP: OLL-PLL
ZZ: OCLL-PLL

Well i meant like for skips or just to make the next steps easier

COLL-EPLL is easier for ZZ OH because the second step is entirely 2-gen. You also have a higher chance of a second step skip (but less chance of a first step skip. However, if the corners are oriented already, you could just end with a PLL, so you get a 1lLL more than OCLL-PLL).

Which set of WV would be the best to learn, in terms of the chances of that case popping up and the ease of memo?

 

[EMI]

Which set of WV would be the best to learn, in terms of the chances of that case popping up and the ease of memo?

I find the 1-corner cases very easy to recognize and execute.

Edit: I believe the propability of each WV case is the same.

 

[kunparekh18]

Which is the best Square-1 EP parity alg? I already know all the CP parity algs.

 

[AmazingCuber]

I asked this before, but none answered:

Is there a way to connect a stack mat to a iOS device?

 

[TDM]

I find the 1-corner cases very easy to recognize and execute.

Edit: I believe the propability of each WV case is the same.

Yep. 27 WV cases, one for each CO.
I have learned the 0-1 oriented corner cases, and most of them aren't that difficult to learn/execute at all. But I haven't practised them, so my recog is still awful
