You can put it back together and continue, or stop the solve and DNF.

If you DNF it, that counts as you worst time. If you have two DNFs, you have a DNF average.

Can you check AO100 in PrismaPuzzle Timer? or I have to use qqtimer?

 

[G2013]

Yes, you can. Go to "History" then there you have all the information

Just a quick question, is there any difference between the Moyu Aolong and the Moyu Aolong V2?

I want to get one as I've heard they're really good, but which one do you guys suggest (if there is in fact any/much difference)?

Just to confim, the mini is 54.5mm right? -not something like 50mm or 42mm.

Most people say to use weight 5 lube for the core and weight 1 for the pieces, I was wondering what weight should I put on the contact point between the centers and the core after I have screwed all the centers on? (the part where you have to lift the center pieces)

You can only check Mo100, but it's close enough. If you want an Ao100, then you will have to import the times into qqTimer.

Apparently the v2 corner twists less, and I have a v1 and it corner twists a lot. I would definitely recommend the v2. And yes, the mini is 54.5mm.

I haven't had any corner twists on my v2 so far, I have heard its a little bit slower than the v1 (which I assume means more turning resistance. im not sure how cubes can be slower or faster since the speed depends on how much force you put behind the turn, my times are pretty much always 18.xx unless I use rubiks brand).

Yes the mini is 54.5 Im not sure if its the v1 or v2 im pretty sure its still the v1

Thanks for the reply boys

Whether the cube is "faster" or "slower" depends on how predisposed the cube is to moving. If I put the same amount of force into a turning a Shengshou Aurora and a Moyu Aolong, the Aolong will turn farther. This holds true during solving also. In that sense, the Aolong is the faster cube.

I'm a little bit worried cause I'm looking on my tracking order for my Moyu Skewb that came from Lightake and it says that on September 16 2014 it's in the ISC NEW YORK NY(USPS) sort facility. I looked it up on Google and people are saying that it's customs. But my last Package from Lightake that was sent last month didn't go through it. So why this time?

afaik they randomly catch hold of one package and check

 

[CriticalCubing]

Weird. Every package of mine gets checked!

 

[Please Dont Ask]

Well i guess that you package gets selected all the time!!!JK
are you sure ... coz many of my packages are not checked( or thats what i feel)

This is the first time I've had the tracking number said that when it's coming from China. Oh BTW the tracking number has updated and now it's on the way to my house from my local post office.

I just disassembled, lubed, and reassembled my Aosu. It was a pain in the ass, but I did it because I thought it wasn't that great out of the box. Now, it's still not that good. When I do any wide turn and stop at the proper alignment, I can feel the internals click. That's not a huge problem, but I feel like sometimes it locks up because of that. Also, the corner cutting sucks ass, compared to the stuff that I see in Chris's review. Outer layer corner cutting is barely line to line. Inner layer is 2/3 of a cubie. Yeah, it's bad. What's going on?

Also, are my expectations just too high for a good 4x4? Maybe I'm just expecting too much

Bump, this doesn't seem to have an answer. Mine has the same problem, and the layer that locks is usually sluggish. My corner cutting seems to be fine though.

 

[MennoniteCuber1]

I want to ask, how many possible positions are there for the inner layers on a 3x3x4? 50? 100? 300? I don't know how to do the calculations.

 

[goodatthis]

What are the approximate breakdowns for an 8:00 7x7 solve, assuming 3x3 is ~35? (I average 8 minutes, and 35 is usually about my 3x3 stage) And what are the breakdowns of a 6:30 7x7 solve?

 

[Lazy Einstein]

Are UNMODDED SS 5x5 super locky or am I just bad?

 

[goodatthis]

Yeah, they're just super locky. Eventually it'll get broken in and your turning style will also adjust. mine sucked when I first got it, I averaged 30 on 3x3 and I found it hard to get sub 1 at times...

I just got used to it, and loosened the tensions.

Edit: don't mess up the order

What are the possible chances for a F2L skip???
