The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

So do not want seperate steps huh? I found one, not sure it works though: (1,0) / (3,0) / (3,3) / (3,0) / (5,0) / (0,3) / (3,3) / (0,3) / (3,0)
From Jason Baum's site.

Slightly Off-Topic: Is a Green-up Yellow-front colour scheme comp legal?

Colors can face any direction on your cube. You can use untraditional colors as well.

I think these are all the regulations concerning color scheme:

3c) Competitors must use any colour scheme for cube puzzles, as long as the puzzles show one colour per face in solved state. For other puzzles competitors must use any variation that has the same moves, positions and solutions as the original puzzle.
3d) Puzzles must either have coloured stickers, coloured tiles, textures or painted colours.
3d1) Puzzles using textures must have different colours on each face to aid in scrambling and judging.
3e) The colours of puzzles must be solid, the same per colour, and clearly distinct from other colours.
3e1) The stickers/tiles/textures/paint may show an image (in one colour), as long as all stickers/tiles/textures/paint of a colour have the image and the same image.
3f) Stickers/tiles/textures/paint must not be thicker than 1.5 mm, or the generally available thickness for non cube puzzles.

Is there a way to set up a best RA of 100 on CCT?

I was looking at the statistics strings and Avg of 5 seems to be defined as "RA 1" and Avg of 12 is "RA 0". I think it requires new RA definition, but where and how is this done?

What is the fastest method to solve a clock?

On my 6x6 (modded) 1 of the 3 layer turns is slower than the others. It feels like it is catching on something. What is the problem?

you may well have super glue (assuming you glued pins in) in the core. other than that i dont know.

The one notable exception is Dan Cohen's single solve world record set at US Nationals 2009 using the k4 method.

Dan Cohen didnt get a WR single at US Nationals '09, is it a typo?

Sorry if this was asked, but what is James from cubeforyou's email?

What happens when and edge cap falls of in competition when you finish the solve/ timer stops?

# 5b5) If, after the solve, non functional parts of the puzzle are still defect (like a centre cap of a cube) or not fully rotated (like a 5x5x5 centre piece twisted in its spot), but the puzzle is otherwise unambiguously solved, the puzzle is considered solved. (discretion of the main judge)

 

[vcuber13]

DNF if its and edge or corner cap, no penalty if its a centre

I've watched Badmephisto and monkeydude1313's cross videos, but I still have no idea how to create a cross while matching up the edges. I always make the cross then align the edges. My cross+F2L = 40~50 seconds. Tips?

Can anyone direct me to a good M2 video/webpage

File -> Configuration -> 3 Scramble Customisations

Thar ya go. Double click on the entry under RA 0 or RA 1 and change it to whatever you'd like.

Fiddle around with the cross yourself and you'll get much more out of it. You can try just placing opposite edges for a while until you get the hang of that and then just placing adjacent cross edges until it clicks.

Alrighty, what's a reasonable time for the cross? It's talking me about 10 seconds right now.

What is a good one handed cube? or does any O.K. two handed cube work?

What are your total times?

A loose cube.

Could someone point me to a good video showing how to perform finger-tricks on the M-slice?

ring finger on BD edge for M' and index on BU edge for M
