goof off

can someone direct me to a good 5x5 tutorial? (preferably non-video but if video is all there is i guess that will do)
it takes me forever to solve the last 2 centers

is normal to average 10 minutes the first day solving a megaminx????? i tought it would be like 4 mins but the first time i timed (lol) was 18 mins, the 2nd was 10 mins and then i average 10 mins, is that normal?? or i'm extremely bad at megaminx??

 

[cuber952]

i averaged 10 minutes the first couple of days i got mine. After about a week i was averaging like 5 minutes. So i would say its normal.

 

[uberCuber]

i average about 10 minutes on megaminx with a self-made method lolz i was too lazy to look up anything on the internet

What 4x4's are people sub 1 min. using?

 

[Chapuunka]

All of them.

 

[dabmasta]

Whats God tier top tier and low tier and crap tier (times) for the 4x4.

And also the 2x2.

(For example for the 3x3 sub 13 I would consider God Tier and sub 30 top tier etc.)

not sure i would personally consider sub 30 top tier...i have a hard time believing that I am actually somewhat close to top tier lol

Meh, you can decide for yourself, thats just how I would see it.

My question ~10 pages ago never got answered so I'll try to rephrase it.

Hello!

4x4x4 last edge pairing algorithm needed.
Here's my cube.
The dedges in FL and FR are the final two edges.

What I would usually do in this case is flip one of the dedge's orientation with (R U' F y x') then use (u' R U R' F R' F' R u) to finish.

Is there another algorithm that isn't too long that will finish this edge pairing without (R U' F y x') at the

Maybe this will make more sense.

If your 4x4x4 scramble is u' R U R' F R' F' R u R U' B' R2
Ignoring that fact that the cube is almost solved, what moves would you use to finish this edge pair?

No, alpha V's are DIYs and DIYS don come assembled
This is http://popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.3x3x3_Type_A_Magic_Cube_DIY_Kit_5th_Gen_Black-25261


Why haven't companies like YJ LL and QJ made clocks?

And are there any platypuses on popbuying?

You mean it's totally different from this: http://www.popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.3x3x3_Type_A_Magic_Cube_Black_(New)-29939 ?

I mailed PopBuying, and they said they would try to look for Clocks and stock up as soon as possible.

Nope, I don't think there is a faster way then what you're doing for the last 2 dedges.

However if there're other unsolved edges you can do u (pairing 1 edge), replace the paired edge with a random unsolved edge, u2 (pairing another edge), and replace that edge with:

1. another random unsolved edge, then do u' to fix centres (this pairs up 2 edges in total
2. an edge that would be paired up with the 1st random unsolved edge after fixing the centres with u' (this pairs up 3 edges in total)

Yeah, that's what I'm doing now, pairing up multiple edges at once, but it takes me ages to find them!

Thanks

Does CRC works as well, if not better than shock oil for an F-II?

 

[Chapuunka]

this: http://www.popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.3x3x3_Type_A_Magic_Cube_Black_(New)-29939 ?

That's a micro A (I think that's what they're called). It's a mini version of the AV. PestVic has a review on it.
