The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

Spread the cubies apart and you should be able to see an edge that has popped out. Usually you can just take a screwdriver or something and push the edge back down in there.

If I get a PLL parity on the 4x4x4, if I do the parity alg before doing the PLL, does it matter whether I do the opposite or adjacent parity algorithm, and does it matter which side I do it on?

You can force a certain PLL by holding the cube in different ways/doing opposite swap instead of adjacent etc. Be smart about it.

Okay while I'm re-learning my crappy N-Perm I decided to re-learn all my not-so-good algs.

All the algs I'm looking for are listed below. Any alg is the potential one I may learn.


E:x' R U' R' D R U R' D', R U R' D R U' R' D’
ZR' U' R2 U) (R U R' U' R U R U') (R U' R' U2)
Na:z U R' D R2 U' R (D' U) R' D R2 U' R D' R
Nb
F
Ra(currently use mirror of Rb)
V

E: Change the x' R at the beginning to l. Use the D fingertrick.
Z: [M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M' U2] OR [(l U' R' U) D R' (U' D) (R' U R) D2 F]
Na: [(L' U' R) U2 (L U R')]*2 OR [(L U L') y' (Good J-perm) y (L U' L')]
Nb: mirror of the first Na^ or I don't know what.
F: [R' U' F' (T-perm without the last F') U R]
Ra: Because I'm a left handed cuber (my U-perms are <LU>, I prefer antisune over sune, etc.), I prefer Ra over Rb. For Rb I just do the mirror of Ra, it's not that bad. I recomend you do the same for Ra.
V: [(R' U R' U') y x2 (R' U R' U') l2 F' (R' F R F)] Rush the (R' U R' U') parts. I can sub-2 this and I'm worse than you

 

[freshcuber]

I knew there was an F-Perm that was T with a few set up moves. Thanks for that one. I prefer my Z and that's the M U alg I use currently. I'll try to put more fingertricks into the other one to check it out. That V-perm is wrong. I'll experiment with the second Na perm as well. Thanks!

 

[Julian]

No problem. V perm should be fixed now.

Alright. questions.
I've been enjoying a bit of freeslice on 7x7 in the past couple days. Any advanced guides on how to sub 10? i'm stuck at like 13.......
Second question can't remember as of right now

I meant techniques that aren't totally apparent when solving 7x7. Thanks. I've practiced plenty and hit a barrier.

This video helped get faster at L2C:

I really don't know what else to say besides practice more, my first 7x7 solve ever was faster than 13 minutes

 

[rubiksczar]

I want to get faster at 3x3, my time of cross+f2l is between 9-15 seconds and oll+pll is between 5-10 seconds. what do I need to work on?

to break it down even more cross usually takes me 3-4 seconds and OLL takes me 2-5 seconds.

 

[Vinny]

So... where can I buy a 000000 crazy 3x3?

 

[cubersmith]

What does POM mean

So... where can I buy a 000000 crazy 3x3?

afaik, nowhere

How many moves is M2 in FMC?

 

[Rubiks560]

How many moves is M2 in FMC?

2 I think.

Since the sides on a megaminx are pretty small does having tiles improve your grip? Then you can like hold on to the tile instead of slipping on the sticker.

 

[uberCuber]

How many moves is M2 in FMC?

2. FMC is done in HTM, so M2 is (L2 R2)

 

[Julian]

2. FMC is done in HTM, so M2 is (L2 R2 x2)

FIFY

 

[uberCuber]

FIFY

He was asking about move count, and x2 isn't a move, so I didn't bother writing it.

 

[TiLiMayor]

How many moves is M2 in FMC?

2, just as U2 and U are 1.

edit: wtf almost ninjad a whole page.

 

[Vinny]

I was wondering if there were any 5x5 race threads? I searched, but I couldn't find one. I'm just asking in case there actually is one that I couldn't find.

 

[freshcuber]

There isn't one.

 

[RyanReese09]

I was thinking of making one actually. Yay or nay?
