I understand the Lx - r, but I still don't see M as being more clear the way it is.

Pardon? Maybe I misread your statement, but are you saying that M is clear already?

well, hmm...

It's clear to me what M/M' are, I just still don't understand the logic as to why it's like that. It's hard to tell whether something you're looking at straight on is going clockwise or counterclockwise, because you could look at it from either side. I just think of M clockwise as going upward and M' going downwards, or at least the pieces that are visible on the M slice going that way. Or, if you have to link the M slice to a side, L or R, R seems like the natural choice to me... I don't see why it makes more sense to do it the other way.

Oh, that's what you meant. I agree entirely; I would think that the slices would correspond to the cube rotations. Instead, they're the opposite. Does anyone actually know why they chose to do this?

Okay, now I understand what you thought I originally meant. So... anyone? Again, why is M' not M and vice versa?

How long does it take for Meffert to ship an order? And how long does it take to get to the US after being shipped?

 

[Unknown.soul]

Keep waiting, Meffert's shipping times are sporadic for some unknown reason.

message too short

 

[Vulosity]

Does Meffert send a shipping notice once your order ships?

the new c4y 4x4 is exactly like the ES 4x4. its the exact same concept and structure. at least the one i have is

The new C4Y 4x4 has almost the same structure as a Rubik's...

Why did Nakaji delete his coolest videos?

 

[Robert-Y]

I'm guessing it's because of the view count

I'm guessing it's because of the view count

I miss those videos His 10.56 solve has like 5 million views

What's a good way to memorize/practice OLL's and PLL's?

 

[*LukeMayn*]

memorize patterns/happening during the alg. just do it over and over...

I am not so good when I order stuff online. does anyone know what to do after receiving the receipt when you buy from cube4you? there is a part there in the email the they will send you that says CATEGORY: YOUR CHOICE

this would mean if it is under parts , 3x3x3 right? but if you have many categories in your order? how would you send the email with the payment?

how do you guys do U2, do you just move your index finger 2 times or do you also use your middle finger?
I really want to get faster

Middle finger! Greatest... fingertrick... ever!!

 

[Vulosity]

^
I use index, then middle for U2. It's a lot faster than using index twice.

 

[MaO]

ok that you both for your quick response, I shall practice my finger tricks now

The best way to increase TPS?

Tips? Fingertricks, etc?

Tips? Fingertricks, etc?

Learn the ZZ method. The EOLine phase reduces/removes the need for cube rotations during F2L, resulting in a much more easily executed solution used R U and L moves.

 

[rachmaninovian]

turn faster.
=D =P =)
