The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[JLarsen]

I have a question, but I don't wanna make a whole thread about it.

I recently got my Type F II and I've noticed that my lookahead has gotten worse. I try to look for the next piece and by the time I finish F2L, I'm at 23 seconds (when my F2L should usually be finished by 18 seconds). Then on my cube4you, I have way better look ahead, yet my LL is complete crap, even though I execute everything correctly. In both cubes, my Lookahead has gotten bad, and my times are suffering because of this,

Why is this happening?
How can I fix it?

Have you replaced the stickers on the F II? The red and orange can be difficult to distinguish.

I would conclude that it's not your look ahead that's different, if you are using the same exact sticker color. It's probably the different turning styles of the cubes.

Yes. I have Black, Flo Yellow, Flo Pink, Flo Orange, Flo Green, Bright Blue.

Maybe.... Hopefully I get used to it. The cube is great, I'm starting to get sub 20s on it, but it's just that sometimes, I take too long to know where the pieces are, even when turning slow and looking ahead.

@ cubes. Thanks =)

Every week, or every 500 solves, every 25,000 turns.

Colours of the american flag going clock wise, Red White & Blue. Red opposite orange, White opposite yellow, Blue opposite green.

I need to put my PayPal email address in an email to DP to buy something, but I don't have a PayPal account and I'm under 18 years old, so I can't get one. Is there another way to order from DP without a PayPal account?

I doubt it, however, your post is post 1337. Congrats.

Yay! But I still have no way to buy a mini QJ with free shipping. And I can't find them on C4Y anymore for some reason. Now I can only find regular QJs on DX.

What does RA stand for? Running Average, or Real Average (mean).

What does RA stand for? Running Average, or Real Average (mean).

Rolling Average, or Running average. It means the best average of 12 in a larger session.

What's the best way to get superglue off the plastic of a Rubik's Cube? (Don't ask...)

I've tried using an exacto knife to try and scrape it off, but it's not working out. I remember reading somewhere that nail polish is good at taking superglue off skin, but A) I don't have nail polish (neither does my mom :fp) and B) I don't think it would work with plastic.

Do I have any other options?

Acetone is a chemical found in nail polish remover. It's quite useful for removing superglue stains (I read it in a book I have about removing stains). Besides nail polish remover, I think acetone can also be found in CRC, but I'm probably wrong. If you find some nail polish remover, check that it doesn't say something along the lines of "Acetone-free".

I am trying to memorize all of the countries of the world. I'm using the Animaniacs method and substituting the differences/changes that have happened over the years. So far I have the song down (which I assume is the hard part lol).

Does anyone else have all of the countries of the world memorized?
