The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

BLD question:
I use Pochmann method.
I don't know what to do in this case.

Spoiler

my buffer piece is UR. in this case, it is yellow/blue.
I always use Orange as front, Yellow as top.
all the edges are in their correct place, except these two:
FR and FD.
I know I can easily switch them the by doing a X and then a J perm. but this way, the corners that switch, are not the corners that are near my buffer piece.
so, what are the ways to handle this situation.
what if these two edges were flipped too?
(I don't want to break into a new cycle)

it's called parity. Make a U turn and then do an R perm. Undo the setup by U'. Solve the corners. U, R perm, U'.

yesss! thank you!
but wait! why do/r u sure I have to do that U,R perm, U' at the end?

Drop megaminx, it really isn't much fun unless you are quite good at it.

I'd drop pyraminx. I don't have any experience with clock. But pyraminx is incredibly simple and gets very boring very fast. Megaminx is my favorite puzzle.

Which would be better to get first: Pyraminx or SQ1? i.e. which is better in the long run.

Square 1

I would drop Pyraminx. Megaminx is a fun challange.

@CubeMaster5000, get Square-1

What should be done to a QJ pyraminx after getting it?

I ask because the other pyraminx I have is that white holographic stickered one. It's supposed to be really bad, but I kind of like it. This QJ is supposed to be a really good pyraminx, but if feels like worse to me.
This could also be because I do my U and U' on a pyraminx just like I do on a 3x3.

Square 1

+1

Also, for anyone who uses LBL for pyraminx, how do you insert your edges? The 3 move or 4 move execution?

I use LBL for pyra and use the 3 move one. I avg 12-13 and sub 10 is easily possible.


LOL why did Ben get banned?

For bumping a horribly old thread of Matyas, and stating a question that could have been answered so easily with the search function.

Besides, hasn't he been annoying enough recently?

Yup thats why im happy . The latest Cubecast ep just makes it all the more funnier. (I think it was the latest one might not be)
