which cores are better C4U core or Rubiks (storebrought) core?
[please don't suggest other cores]

i'm gonna make a awesome hybird of: the winning core, type a screws & cube for you cubies...

Id say C4U cores easily.

My Rubik's core isnt that great, come to think of it neither is the whole cube.

Is it possible that 3x3 OH time is faster 2hand time??

Is it possible that 3x3 OH time is faster 2hand time??

Yes. Its very possible. Just don't practice 2H, and devote your cubing time to only OH.

Trust him. Learn all your algs 2 gen/good for OH. Everyone is so fast now, you're unlikely to get the 3x3 World Title. But if you non-stop practise something else eg. pyra, 2x2, 4x4, 5x5-7x7, OH, foot, not fmc, BLD, you could be World champ at one of those. Do this, only practise one event.

not fmc??

FMC doesn't require non-stop solving like other cubes to improve. You can solve other cubes, and still be awesome at FMC. But without practising 3x3 and OH, you won't pickup tricks along the way for FMC. Plus, Gus has FMC covered. Just focus on OH.

Nah, focus on whatever you want.

Got it! Thank you for the help.

How do you relax when doing BLD in public?

If I regularly(twice a week) posted cubing videos on youtube, around how many subs would I get per month?

 

[amostay2004]

Something random popped out: Should the Blindfold Cubing section actually be named Blindfolded Cubing? Since 'blindfold cubing' sorta gives me the impression of a blindfold solving a cube..

It is about QUALITY, not quantity, with youtube videos. You could have heaps of videos, but no subs.

How do you relax when doing BLD in public?

Practice it enough at home your confident about successes, and take a ridiculously long time to memorise. People are just impressed that you can do it BLD, not how long it takes you. Also you could say 'sometimes I don't get it successful', and if you don't, just go 'ah well, next time hey'. Those are things I have found helpful. Oh, and also a deep breath

I just got a 3x3 my Dad brought home from work, that had Orange stickers on every side. It has a Rubik's logo on one side, and Excelior logo on all others (just centre pieces). I took it apart, and it seems to have a type-a core (looks like one) and screw and springs. The pieces have thick plastic, and caps over the gaps. It's very tight, however, I'll break it in, then loosen it and lube it. Anyone else come across a similar cube? A promotional screw-spring cube?
Very interesting. And it has a weird Rubik's logo on it.

I have a couple of noob questions about reported times.

• Do you allow for inspection before starting the clock, e.g., 15 secs as in official competitions?
• In average times, do you cancel outliers? I.e., AO5 -> middle 3, AO12 ->middle 10.
• How do you decide whether a solve is lucky or not?

1-Im not 100% sure on this. But i would say so.

2-Yes you do cancel these. Best,worst times taken out.

3-Lucky solves can involve a skip of a methods step or something along those lines eg. PLL skip

Can someone link me to the QJ 4x4 on cubeforyou?

I heard they removed their QJ products... =(

Anyone else think we should have a non cubing related accomplishment thread?

 

[dunpeal2064]

my question is: are there any video reviews of the KO 6x6 and 7x7? i saw a few on ebay and was curious to see one in action

 

[vrumanuk]

Is this a QJ 4x4?
