The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[janelle]

Is it normal that the DIY (the black cube from dealextreme) gets more loose as time goes on? I set my cube so that it doesn't pop, but eventually it feels more loose and now it's pops alot. I can take a whole set of three out at once and one side turns really fast. This isn't the first time. I tighten the screws up abit about a week ago now it's loose again. Does this happen to others?

I just got an Eastsheen 2x2 and i lubed it up ( its my first ever) and now it seems like it spins waaay to much, with one flick, it spins 1 1/2 turns. How can i adjust it to be a bit tighter?

 

[Daniel Wu]

Just use it until the lube wears off a little bit.

It will change the icon of all your batch files, but here:

go into my computer
click view,options then the file types tab,
select the ms-dos batch file,
click edit
and you will see a change icon button where you can then select the icon you want.

It worked, now my Bat file looks like an internet icon... opens to an orphan link, on older systems freezes computer, on mine, I can stop after about 160 repeat opens

10d) All pieces of a puzzle must be fully attached to the puzzle, and in their required positions. Exceptions: see Article 5 Puzzle defects.

5b5) If, after the solve, non functional parts of the puzzle are still defect (like a centre cap of a cube) or not fully rotated (like a 5x5x5 centre piece twisted in its spot), but the puzzle is otherwise unambiguously solved, the puzzle is considered solved. (discretion of the main judge)

A cube with a fallen-off centre cap is considered solved, but I don't know what happens if more than one centre piece falls out... the regulations say it's okay (if I understand them correctly), but I think I read somewhere that there's a limit of centre-caps-that-have-fallen-off

The cube must be unambiguously solved. If enough center caps are missing(4?) it is impossible to tell whether the cube is solved or in a position with only centers swapped.
