Oh my gosh you are too funny to not be doing this on purpose.



Really, I don't think you understand the concept of more formal forums like this one. You aren't supposed to post more than 5 times a day as a general guideline when you start out, unless you have good reason not too. You don't repeat questions, you use proper grammar, and you rarely make threads unless you really put effort into it, and it either a) benefits the community b) fixes a problem of yours that would have been very difficult for you. Asking your opinion on which cube to buy, like, 15 times is not a valid answer.

Also, don't post in threads over a week old, or worse, months or even years old, unless there is very good reason to. Do you know how to tell how old threads and posts are?

I'm only saying this to warn you, because I would rather have another constructive speedcuber in the community than a banned one.

Calm. Down. Nao.

So he thought he was supposed to use HTML code instead of IMG code. Big deal. How about instead of all of that, although I agree, it's extremely true, we say, use the IMG code.
Or, if he only has the Direct Link code, paste it, put

at the end.

For BLD, I'm using Y perm for corners (shooting from UBL to RDF) and I'm trying to switch from Old Pochmann edges to M2. When their are an odd number of Y perms (so parity I guess...) what alg do you use to restore the swapped edges? I do corners first then edges.

Does Wal-Mart still sell Rubik Cubes? I checked www.walmart.com and the search of "rubik" gives no results.

I have a $10 gift card for Wal-Mart, and figured I should spend it on another Rubik brand cube, just to try and mod it, see how it turns out. But, I don't want to go to Wal-Mart until I know they still have them.

This product is no longer available.

That's not to say you won't find one there, though.

They do, out in the streets. Or if you still can't find them you can try this site.

I guess I will try and do a quick sweep of the toy section tomorrow. If it isn't there, I will just grab some drinks and candy or a random toy for my sister.

I'm just looking for one at a Wal-Mart, not anywhere else. Trying to use up my gift card, since I have no other use for it.

I just got a Mini Qj 4x4 and I've noticed one problem with it- it keeps getting this strange pop. This pop pops out a centre piece and an edge piece next to it. Why does it do this and how can I stop it?

 

[Zane_C]

When my Mini QJ was popping like that, I tightened it up and all was fixed.

 

[Mephisto]

Does anyone know a webshop where one can buy a pyramorphix-core? (core with centers that is) *unsure*

The order is:

1. Solve corners with Y perm
2. Do the 'bad' R perm (I use R U R' F' R U2 R' U2 R' F R U R U2 R')
3. Solve edges with M2
4. Parity fix: U F2 U' M2 U F2 U'
5. Do the bad R perm again

Steps 2, 4 and 5 are only required if there's parity

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to post that below his image attempt.


I was talking about how, it about an hour or 2, he made 25 posts, started 3 threads, necrobumped 3 threads from 2009, never used the shift button, triple posted on occasion, and was spamming his opinion about his 4x4 and 3x3 in about 20 of those posts. I'm trying to give him a friendly nudge to change because I know he's going to get flamed soon.

EDIT: Woah, now that I check, all signs of his existence are gone O_O

So if you have an odd number of y-perms then the FD and BU edges will always be swapped?

How does Square 1 parity happen? Also what are the chances of getting parity on Square 1?

Why is fridich called CFOP.

I know it stands for cross, f2l, oll and pll, but isn't cross part of the first 2 layers?

That alg definitely is not an R perm.
