Do we really need sarcasm tags implemented that badly?

Were any of those statements sarcastic?

Well, mine was, and on a cubing forum I'd expect people to notice.

Well in a thread like this, random sarcasm isn't really expected.

How exactly does the gas assisted c4y cube work?

 

[miniGOINGS]

Do you mean "how is it made" or "how does the cube move"?

Do you mean "how is it made" or "how does the cube move"?

Or "How is it assised by gas"?

yes, assisted by gas.

Where can I find a short, fingertricky, 2-gen G-perm set? It would also be good if it was easy to remember.

AFAIK G-perms cant be 2-gen. Have a look at the wiki algs some of them aren't too bad.

It's impossible to do a 3-cycle of corners with just 2 faces.

Yes we do if that was meant to be sarcasm.

yes, assisted by gas.

AFAIK(I'm not an expert) they are made with a Gas-injected molding system, which enables the cube to be hollow without caps. Doesn't really make sense to me though, as instead there are circular cap-type pieces on the cubies. One of the benefits is it can float!

What is the easiest way to learn F2L i tried watching some videos but i can find a good one and i get bored is their any good methods to learning. If you know a good video please link. thanks

Badmephisto's video is amazing and Erik A.'s is quite good as well. Once you understand the concept it is practice practice practice from there.

Here's the link:

Using a metronome would probably help.

I'm assuming you use 2-pair.

When I did 2-pair I saw the pairs as 2 different pairs. The one that you paired up with just a Dw/Dw'/Rw/-Rw' was the base pair. The pair you made when you finished it was the complementary pair.

I looked for the base pair while doing the previous pairs, then while I was putting the base pairs in place I looked for the complementary pairs, etc.


Oh, & also, practice. I did an AO12 every day for about 2 weeks & went from 2:00 to 1:20.

thanks for the help guys

No problem.

What are the odds of an OLL skip?

 

[jiggy]

The probability of an OLL skip is 1/216 (assuming you're not doing anything tricky). Google is your friend.

I've put cubesmith stickers on my 3x3x3 but some of them have some air bubbles underneath, is there anyway to remove them or prevent them from occuring next time?

Is it necessary to mod an A-II? I think that's what this is. http://popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.24560

 

[inuyasha51089]

ok when it comes to lube i usually use jiggalo but ive been hearing more and more about people using shock oil is this stuff better then silicone spray and does it have any adverse effects on the cube? i know 2 questions but i really am curious

On my cubes the "removing attempts" aren't very good. Next time try to put them on so that you put on the first end of the sticker and then push it toward the other end.. on my cubes it work but it's kind of hard to explain.

Use the cube a lot and the air bubbles disappear.

I really don't think so. I love my AII. It was horrible at first but all I did was lube it and do a couple hundred solves or so with it and then it became amazing (for my style of cubing anyway).
