What is hexadecimal and how would you use it to memo CO during bld?

It's a numeral system of base 16. I wouldn't use it for CO since those have 3 different orientations, but I would use it for EO since there's only 2. 0 would equal correct orientation and 1 wrong orientation. A 3x3 has 12 edges so you would memorize 100111110001 for example for edges, which equals 9F1 in hexadecimal, so memorizing 9F1 would be enough to orient all edges. It's great for BLD but only if you're used to it.

Then is there an easy way to memo CO durind bld and multibld?

Those stickers are of terrible quality.

Also can I have 5 5x5 cubesmith logos along the one long centre, where it usually says Square- 1? I can see why multiple logos aren't allowed on cubes, but not sq-1s.

 

[Ryanrex116]

On square- 1, if I finish and still have to do 1,1 is it a DNF?

Think so.

I disagree. The maximum it can be off by is 45 degrees. (1,0) is only 30 degrees off. (0,1) is also 30 degrees off.

What cube is this?

There is a cube at popbuying.com labeled "SE" what is it? I've been told that it is a type f or f-II.

If that is the case, I recommend that you look around at old threads before you start making a lot of new ones, because there is some very valuable information in them.

Don't bump them of course, unless you have a very good reason to do so

So I just received a Meffert's Megaminx today and right now (even after lube) it's really tight. I am a bit stumped because I thought they were supposed to turn nice now that Stephan improved the screws and springs.

Am I supposed to loosen the screws or did I by some chance get an older version? Or is there anything else I can do to make my megaminx loose? I'm quite puzzled (no pun intended) :-/

Question:
Is there an algorithm to swap the UFl and UBr wings on a 4x4/5x5?

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

Put the pairs in front of you. Do
L' F U' L F'. The miss-paired edges should be across each other.
For the 4x4- Dd, R F' U R' F Dd'
5x5: rotate it so that the pairs are on the U face and the miss paired wing piece is on the RIGHT.
Do
Ll' U2 Ll' U2 F2 Ll' F2 Rr U2 Rr U2 Ll2 FOR THE 5

Sure it is. Lots of people don't know how a forum works in general, and have trouble finding their way around. Besides, the forum search function sucks.
