The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[V-te]

Why do I suck so hard at 5x5 no matter how much I try? E freeslice with no real algs memorized for last few centers. How much will a decent V5 actually help a 3:30 avg on an ES?

about 1-2 minutes depending on recognition and current quality of your current cube. I dropped frm 7:5x.xx to 5:19.xx after I got my V5. I used to have an eastsheen.

What is the rule for 1,-2,4,-5,7,- 8?

Adding multiples of three with alternating sign...
ie, -3, +6, -9, +12, -15
Hope that helps.

If I ordered a Mefferts Megaminx on 9/8, and it still hasn't come, when should I expect it?

 

[miniGOINGS]

When is someone going to answer my question? lol

 

[anythingtwisty]

During the third week after you ordered.

P.S. Nice sig!

For Nb, yes these I like very much
For Na, I use z (U R' D R2 U' R D')(U R' D R2 U' R D')

It's super fun and fairly finger tricky. Try it out! The "D' U" in the middle do at the same time.

Ha that's a really cool alg.

Edit: Cool, but awkward.

hah, it's a bit awkward. try doing the alg maybe 10 times. and time yourself. like an Na time attack. It's fun, and it's good practice. I can get decent times with what used to be my least fav pll. Now I just need to learn and practice a good E perm.

I found that on the wiki, but got rid of the z rotation instead translate them all like that, and it's a really easy to remember and simple alg. (R' U L' U2 R U' L)(R' U L' U2 R U' L)

Yes, but your alg is very slow.

I know, but read the message I was quoting.

Ok, my mefferts megaminx tracking number said it was delivered friday, and it wasn't. it has only been 3 weeks since I ordered, should I contact mefferts now or in a week?

 

[Tim Major]

Good V perm please. My one takes me 9 seconds. It is really finger tricky. I used cube explorer to get the shortest one, but it is really finger tricky. Please give me a good one.

Just give me your opinion. Once I try one I get stuck on it, so tell me a good one to get stuck on. (please don't on purpose give me a crap one)
