From my experience, occasionally, people sell cubes at competitions.

I dont think so.

[R' U R' d'] [R' F'] [R2 U' R' U] [R' F R F]

The one I use. Once you get the pattern down, its easy. (It has one small letter, is that okay?)

I want to be color neutral, but I still want to get faster. Should I practice color neutrality or not?

How do you get rid of that sticky residue when you're re-stickering a cube?

I take a piece of vinyl electrical tape and press it firmly on the gunk and then pull the tape off with the gunk.

Not a cube shop per se, but there will always be people willing to sell to you.

Goo gone. Plus, it makes your cube smell nice!

I was wondering if having different colored plastic isn't allowed in competitions? I have a white meffert's 4x4 but the centers broke and i replaced it with black meffert's pieces. I did see a rule against it in the WCA regulations.

As long as the puzzle has a clearly solved state anything within reason is fine. I think transparant cubes are a bit iffy though.

I went to the MIT comp with it and they confronted me about. And Bob Burton's reasoning for not allowing it was that if you saw the black pieces you knew it was the green center but you know if it is the green center by the green stickers

@Logan.

To make an animated avatar, you take a snippet of a video file, and convert it into .gif.

You can also find .gifs and shrink them to 80kbs, which is the forum limit.
