The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[Vulosity]

I average 29-30 seconds, My current goal is 20. Can you tell me a breakdown of the solve for a 20 second solve? Cross= __ seconds F2L=__ seconds etc. Thanks.

I average just under 20 seconds. So here's my breakdown:

Cross: 2-3 seconds
First F2L Pair: 1-2 seconds
Second: 1-2 seconds
3rd: 1-2 seconds
4th: 1-2 seconds
OLL: 1-2 seconds
PLL: 2-3 seconds
+ some look-ahead
--------------------------
16 at most + look-ahead.

Like sn3akypandaman said, work on f2l because it can always be faster and its a huge part of every solve.

Heres a Breakdown... Cross:2.89 F2L:18.50 OLL: (2 look) 4.00 PLL: (full) 1.99 (A perm heh) Thanks

I asked this in recent thread but it wasn't answered- I have a PPC mac, are there any downloadable timers available that will save sessions? Does CCT only work on intel macs?

Java SE 6 is available on 64-bit, Intel-based Macs only.

looks that way.

Another question, what is the most basic 'online' timer I can use?

Basically, my computer at work sucks and can't handle cubetimer.com.

What is a more basic one I could use at work to time my solves?

 

[GaroMaster1337]

im not sure how good ur computer is so heres a couple that you can try(fair warning: some of them really suck )

how does one get rid of a cuber's wrist fast?
my left wrist is starting to hurt (which is pretty weird because I only use my left wrist on the pll)

Wear a brace for an entire day, and it'll heal up fast.

Put ice on it and DONT USE IT for 5 hours (have a nap), wake up feeling way better.

Well on Saturday I ordered express shipping (3-5 days MAX) from Cube for you and on the website it says he hasn’t even shipped my cube yet! So my question is, did I waste 20 bucks on express shipping? (well I ordered a c4y cube so maybe he's just waiting until he gets the better hard ware?)

It's 3-5 days from when it ships; 3-5 days doesn't include whatever James needs to do (order stock, prepare your order, etc.).

Do Cubesmith's megaminx stickers fit onto Cube4You's MF8 megaminx?

I have two cubes, one is ultra smooth, cuts corners great, but it pops a lot and usually a whole layer, 29 second average but lots of DNFS
another one, pretty smooth, average corner cutting, pops slightly less (still too much) and usually one/two pieces, 35 average and slightly less DNFs

which one should I use at the benelux open?

tighten the first one slightly and use it, if it's storebought then just use it as it is.

what is SO - DIMM? wikipedia's talking too much it geek language for me.

 

[Escher]

a SO-DIMM is a stick of RAM used in laptops, or small media systems
its around half the length of the usual stick.

 

[cookingfat]

question - Is it me, or do the yellow stickers always leave behind more sticky residue?

Ok I just got my first 4x4x4 today, scrambled it and tried solving it using Dan Brown tutorial.
But then when I came to the part where you can solve the 4x4x4 like a 3x3x3 I thing something went wrong...

this happned during f2l what sould i do?

 

[MTGjumper]

Your centers are incorrect. Switch two opposite centers with Rw2 U2 D2 Lw2.
