The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[MrIndianTeen]

oops I misread it and showed how to swap opposite edges!

 

[clincr]

I'm attempting to become colour neutral (no idea how hard it will be at my speed) and I was wondering whether it's best to work it through one colour at a time (yellow, green, blue, etc.) or throw myself in the deep end (lots of completely colour neutral solves). Any advice for a colour neutral transition?

i would start with becoming color neutral on the opposite side you are used to, (if you plan to do it one color at a time)

I recommend doing whatever cross looks best and don't time your solves before you feel confident!

When you're doing a OH solve, are you allowed to inspect with two hands, or is it only with one hand?

You are allowed both hands.

Can somebody who uses this Nb perm
R' U R U' R' F' U' F R U R' F R' F' R U' R
explain your fingertrick, or at least separate the moves into 'motions' for me? Thanks.

Also, how much, and how, should I apply with Maru lube. Specifically for DaYan 4x4. Should I lube the core as well (not gonna use lubix)?

I did a different cross color Ao100 each night for about two weeks and then took a month off of 3x3 speed and I came back CN. I'll link the thread I made asking for help.

Don't use that N-perm it's trash. Learn one of the ones with a z rotation. They're a lot faster.

Nb perms

R' U R U' R' F' U' F R U R' F R' F' R U' R average of 5:
2.96, 3.29, 3.20, 2.77, 2.87= 3.01 seconds average

z (D' R U' R2' D R' U) (D' R U' R2' D R' U) R average of 5:
3.20, 2.58, 3.09, 2.96, 3.25= 3.08

First one was faster by 0.07 sec as you can see...

 

[freshcuber]

How long have you drilled the two? I'm pretty sure Vallence uses the ones with z rotations and he sub-1'd it

 

[EricReese]

I doubt you have really practiced those PLLs if they aren't even sub 3, the z rotation one is sexy, learn to fingertrick it, its the same problem with E perm, most people think its a terrible PLL (which I admit, I hate recognizing it fast) but the execution is fast

 

[Hershey]

Yeah, I don't really practice my PLLs, never mind then.

The fastest oficial solve with a pop ever?

 

[Erzz]

The fastest full step roux solve? Either on video or official.

Found an unofficial 6.73. Thom has an official 10.34. Not sure if those are the fastest, but those are the fastest I've found so far.

Cool, thanks. Friend was asking how fast it was.
