I Did.

I say 'did' because I haven't learned any new algs for my main method yet.

Ok. I was thinking more along the lines of;

-Learn algs for a method
-Use method (and algs)
-Not get case for a long time
-Forget alg
-Get case and not be able to remember alg

Me.

Me. Square-1 EPs, I stopped practicing for about a month and I couldn't remember a couple of them like H-opp

I plan on finally getting a 3x3x(4,5, and 7) and I want to get the special colored ones. Should I get all of the same color, or all three different colors? And What colors? I don't really want blue because I have a blue type F, and I don't believe I will be solving for speed necessarily.

 

[DaijoCube]

Different colors. Especially for 3x3x5 since the prices (on PopBuying) vary A LOT with color (5$ or so)

 

[4Chan]

Do people ever forget an algorithm for their method, because they don't get that case for a long time?

I've had amnesia for OLL periodically.

I have a quite new V-Cube 7 white. The original lube in it sucks. I love jigaloo. I solve my V7 around 8 times now.

1-Should I give the cube time before relubing?
2-Should I put vaseline and/or dust in it for a day or two?
3-Should I clean the old lube off the cube before putting Jig-A-Loo in it?
4-Does it really make a difference on the V7 if I take it apart for lubing? (I do it with new 3x3x3 or when it's been a while since I've lubed it, but the V7 will be a pain to reassemble).

5-If I have to disassemble it, can I make little and simple mods to make it better?
6-Making a adjustable core is worth it? (Don't forget that my PB as of now is 19 minutes, so I'm no way near a beast at this).

7- Am I the only that after I finish solving the V7, all normal cubes feel curved ''the opposite way'' (concave in french) '''''''antipillowed'''''?

It's concave in english also

1-Yes. Break it in for a week or two.
2-Never put vasaline. Put back in your bathroom and use it on your lips.
3-Give it some time and the lube will wear off. Or Mod it to wear it off faster.
4-Not really. But if you're using Jigaloo, just take a portion off the cube (one edgey piece or something) and spray a few squirts. Do that to a few other sides of the cube.
5-You better know what you're doing.
6-Not yet. Looking at your questions, you haven't broken in your V 7 yet. So not yet.
7-Maybe. After solving my V6 and starting a solve on 3x3, I have to readapt to the buldgy pieces.

Looking for a good skewb that isn't too expensive. I purchased one from ebay, but I am less than enthusiastic about the quality.

Also, what is a decent time for skewb? I just learned how to solve it today... my times are hovering between :45 and 1:30. I suppose I learned the "beginner's" method, but I haven't been able to find anything about an advanced method.

 

[(X)]

Cola, which case was it (I want to find out probability), and how long do you think the gap of time was between getting it?

I forgot OLL1 because I learned OLL32, and they have a similar start, also I think 1 is pretty rare, Annnnd I practiced 32 a lot.

 

[TMOY]

Well if you are given the scramble couldn't you in theory get a 25 move solve every time?

You should read the regulations too. The solution must not be related in any way to the scramble. Which means that you can't just write the scramble backwards and submit it, you must find your own soution, and be able to explain it in case of doubt.

Quick question about popbuying partial shipments, I'm hoping someone who has already been through the whole partial shipment thing will be able to help me:

"Do Partial Shipment 22357*1 will be shipped next time "

Does this mean that they'll ship it the next time I place an order, or that they will ship again at some point in the future, and that shipment will have this puzzle in?

Gettin' me a pyraminx! =)

Next time when they have the puzzle in.


My questions because it didn't get answered before.
What tension is a Haiyan's cube good at? Tight, loose or what? And does it react well to lube (CRC)?

Been through this.

It'll be ship when they have it in stock, no need to buy new stuff. Happened to me with a A3 (That broke the day I received it, damn weak edges).

How does FMC work in a competition?

Do you have to bring another cube, get it to the same scramble (like MTS), and write a solution down on paper?

I suggest reading the regulations for a more detailed answer. But basically you bring a cube and you are given the scramble. You put your cube in the scramble and try to figure out a short solution. You can solve and scramble as many times as you want.

Ok thanks, I would also think that scramble reverse = DNF

Hey guys, im looking for a downloadable zip or rar file which contains the display pics of all 493 pokémon, the pics like mine, does anyone have a link as i cant find them anywhere

Good news, everyone! That's exactly what I was hoping. Thank you both.
