what do they use to make the stackmat timer mat?
the one i ordered doesnt come with a mat so i was wondering if i could buy something with a similar feel to it in the shops

The material of my mat is just like that of a mouse pad, only somewhat thinner than most mouse pads.

I was reading on the Wiki about a Pyraminx Method called 'Fan's Pyraminx Method' it sounds super efficient and says there are only 20 algs, but I can't find any other information about it. Does anyone know where I could find out more about it?

I really like Waffo's one in this video r U2 r U2 r' U2 r U2 l' U2 r U2 r' U2 M r' U2 r'. Or if you don't care about the adjacent corner orientations it can be done with wide turns like this: r U2' r U2' r' U2 r U2' l' U2' r U2' r' U2 x' r' U2 r'

hope this is what you meant (jump to 1:12)

Not pure as usual. You can add (L R U2 L' R' U)^2 at the end of Wafflle's alg to make it pure.

when I'm doing PLL attack, must I do every of 4 possible Gs, 2 Js, etc, or just one of each and don't do mirrors, inverse,...?

 

[RyanReese09]

You have to do all 21 PLLs. There are 4 G perms. And two Js. So you must do them...

 

[Ordos_Koala]

technicaly it's just 13 cases :/ at least it's little more practice and challenge

Mirrors/Inverses make it 21 though.

I know... it's basicly on point of view, but acctually, this is kinda off-topic

read my earlier posts, question was about PLL attack, not "what is counted as PLL"

My 3x3's black side has a engraved logo on the center piece, which can be felt through the sticker. Is this cube legal for BLD?

It's only on one center piece. Many cubes have those engraved logos. And yes they are legal.
If you know where for example white side is then you still don't know if the side facing towards you is green, blue, orange or red (western color scheme)

i posted this question before, what is the difference between a regular cubetwist magic and the hardcover version? which is better?

If you do M2, then you can tell if you have a M2 already done.

Yeah that's the reasoning behind me wondering if it was legal.

okey i usally average 18s on a 3x3 but on this day i have average about 13-14s.
Unfortualy i think im going to average 18s again tomorrow.
Why does this happen? What does it mean?

 

[Ordos_Koala]

maybe you just got better and tommorow your averages will still be 13-14s otherwise don't go sleep and enjoy it

For me personally, I have up and down days. Some days, it's an extreme difference from my average, and sometimes its much worse than my average. As you start to learn more algs, those up and downs should even out.

The big difference maker for me is F2l recognition. Good recognition=good overall times, bad recognition=bad overall times

A PLL skip could mess with that logic though.

lol my PLL skip solves tend to be about the same time as non-PLL skip solves; its been awhile since my PB single was a non-full-step solve
I never can get a lucky last layer on a solve with a good F2L :3
