The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

Ok, for the 4x4, what is a pretty standard split?
Example: 20% centers, 30% edges, 40% 3x3, 10% parity
What is a standard time split?

Any place besides cubeforyou that sells mini c?

I am just starting to learn PLLs and am using Badmephisto's site.
I am wondering why are there 2 A Perms?
With the same A perm [A(a)] I can solve both cases of switching corners. It seems to be just a matter of how I orient the cube when I solve it.

It's late and maybe there's something I am not realizing --which is probably the case. I just thought I would post this in the question thread for some enlightenment when I wake up.

One goes clockwise, while the other goes anti- clockwise.

If you perform the A(a) perm on a solved cube, you get the A(b) perm case. But if you orient the cube different it appears to be the A(a) perm case. BUT, that is disregarding the edges! If you do this, you end up with the H perm. So if you have only the A(b) to do to solve the cube, but orient differently and do an A(a) perm, you will not solve cube.

So if my edges are all aligned I want to do whichever A Perm that will rotate the 3 corners where I wont have to realign edges afterward.

Is the a legitimate 3x3?

 

[iSpinz]

Why wouldn't it be?

 

[aronpm]

@wrcube4: It is a Maru cube, but did you check the dimensions?

 

[iSpinz]

Your regular Maru mini 3x3

Oops. Didn't check that:fp. Thanks!

Correct. As long as the permutation is performed at the correct position.

Do any non-Java timers include a metronome feature?

Anyone with a myspace want to help me spam this noob?

He sent a message saying "No one cares about cubes, so stop posting videos of them" I replied by telling him to just not watch them. Simple as that, but I'm wondering if my little forum buddies can spam him telling him how awesome Rubik's cubes are, and sending him Rubik's videos.... anyone wanna help?

Are there any other ACTIVE speedcubing communities? (englshplz) besides Roux central?

Roux Central isn't that active, but TwistyPuzzles is I think.

 

[aronpm]

Is TwistyPuzzles really speedcubing? I've browsed it a bit and it seemed more like puzzle theory, puzzle collectors and puzzle building.

Mhh, it is definately more collecting oriented. I also really don't like the layout of the forum, speedsolving.com is way better.

It's a mini Maru 3x3. I was wondering why it was cheaper than a Maru 2x2, but that's why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQBSjSsYrkQ&feature=related
Here's a video. It's smaller than a diansheng mini.

[please don't suggest other cores]

i'm gonna make a awesome hybird of: the winning core, type a screws & cube for you cubies...
