dillon, that isnt a question.

But how the hell does twist metric work?

[uberCuber]

...dont twist metric scrambles work exactly the same way, the moves are just counted differently

i don't understand Permutation of Last Layer can anyone please explain it to me?i want to improve my time currently average around 48sec

Well, there's OLL and PLL. OLL gives you the a solid colour on the top face. PLL will move the cubies around to solve the rest of the cube.
the first step would be to 2 look OLL and 2 Look PLL, giving you 4 look last layer. 2 looks, means you do a total of 2 algorithms for each step (OLL and PLL)
Search youtube for 2 look oll and pll tutorials. For 2LOLL you orient the edges, then the corners, in to seperate algs. For 2LPLL, you permute (move to correct place) corners, then edges.

That should get you sub-30, at least.

yes i know 2oll but can't understand 2pll so working on it .
Can anyone post some good finger trick tutorial vid? there are too many to choose from youtube

Thanks for this, I'll use it to finish the 3x3x3 rubenking (4 color scheme). Is there another more effective way to turn the centers in a solved state?

No problem.
And I don't know, because I don't have a super/rubenking cube.
Maybe search youtube or something though.

5 corners, 5 edges. 5!*5!/2 permutations. 3^4*2^4 orientations.
\( \frac{5!^2*3^4*2^4}{2} \)
No symmetry reductions since the F2L slot removes the possibility of an AUF.
Punch that into WolframAlpha or something, I've gotta run to class.

i'm sorry I don't know what wolframalpha is

On qqtimer how do you get your scrambles back after you've done an average of 5

My YJ 5x5 feels like its going to explode in my hands every time i touch it. How can I tighten/make it less poppy and feel more sturdy?

I have a feeling I've asked this before, but I never got any answers. So, what's the most easiest to understand tutorial for restringing magics?

Just click the hyperlinks on the right side. eg current average of 5

(L R U2 L' R' U)^2 turns the U center by 180°.
[L, E M E'] turns the L center by 90° CW and the U center by 90° CCW.

Found it. Thanks.

How many competitions have had sub30 Clock podium?

I'd ideally like someone to do some clever programming thing to get the answer so I can trust it's correct
