The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[cincyaviation]

How come C4U sucks so bad? Also, which way to I fit the screws in? I heard it was the big part sticker towards the core, but when I do it, the cubes sucks and is very loud (springy).

only one way to put the screws in, but put the springs in with the bunched part away from the core

@cincyaviation: Thanks. I should definately lube it with some Jig-a-loo. I hope it gets better (not mine).

Not a question, but I'm not quite sure where else I should put it:

Give me a scramble, I'll write down my solution, you write yours down, and let's compare. Preferably people who are averaging in the 14-16 range, thanks.

If you're wondering: I'm just curious (and bored)

EDIT: I'm not talking about FMC, just a regular solution, as if in a speedsolve.

I average that.

But a lot of them are in the last layer.

Nice.

Solution:
Cross: x2 y R2 F L D2 (4/40)
F2L 1: U2 y' L' U L (7/40)
F2L 2: R U R2 U2 R U F' U F (16/40) Note: This was an F2L alg I found a while ago, I try to use R U R' U F' U F but the first one is the one I usually do. It was obviously for the better o_O.
F2L 3: U R' U R (20/40)
F2L 4: U L U' L' U L U L' (28/40)
OLL: U2 r U r' R U R' U' r U' r' (39/40)
PLL: U2 (40/40)

40 Total Moves
11.56 Seconds
40/11.56 = ~3.46 TPS
I normally go around 4.8-5 TPS.
So, assuming I had been going exactly normal speed...
40/4.8 = 8.33 Seconds
40/5 = 8.00 Seconds
:/

Now I see how Faz does it d:

My C4U "Lettermail" is in Mississauga (since 27 hours ago). How long is it usually there for, and how long until it goes 1 provence west?

I'm actually wondering how to cut springs from pens. I can't seem to cut them.

Its worth a try
You can always just switch the springs
See which one you like and thats that

Wire-cutters. Scissors or knives will give you a bad cut.

What method is this?

it looked to me like LBL and 4 look COLL with lefty sune+ ELL o.O

Genius! I must try this at once. I was like running around my house trying to find sharp stuff, how did I forget about this?

I only know from experience. I used to modify nerf guns, you need to know how to cut springs. Gosh that seems kind of childish compared to cubing.

My friend (ROUX!) might be going to Iowa Open instead of buying a $300 airsoft gun. It's a might though, because he may have hockey.

My LL can be set looser, cuts corners more, locks up less, pops less, and is insanely faster. Now all I need is a good method...

Try pliers. They work great.

My question: Why did I read the first post and wonder 'What's UPSB stand for?', only to scroll down and see that the very first reply is me asking that exact question?

History just repeats itself?

LL is just CP, CO, EP, EO.

CP: R' U' R B U' B R' U R
CO: L' U' L U' L' U2 L U2 repetitions and rotations
EP: M' U M U2 M' U M
EO: [R' E' R2 E2 R', U2]
