I ordered some stuff at Popbuying, and after keying the credit card, they led me back to the homepage, and they did not send me an email. With no indication whatsoever, how can I find out whether they've processed the order or not?

I've tried, but it did not help very much. Maybe I did not do it properly or I expected too much. No harm trying.

When should I switch from Redux to Yau?

You have to use K4 for 7 days before you can switch to Yau.

But after the 7 days youll realize how amazing K4 is and stick with it.

I personally hate Yau. I cant get the hang of getting the last 4 centers while keeping the partial cross intact. I like reduction and K4 (once i learn the algs)

You do know that you do the centres the same in K4 and Yau, right?
and Yau is like K4/redution hybrid

Yau is like K4/reduction hybrid

I'd say that's pushing it.

well ya but in a way it is

Is this the Ghost Hand/Sheng Shou 2x2x2?

 

[Chapuunka]

It says it is.

How fast should my centers be on a 4x4 if I wanna sub 2?

How fast should my centers be on a 4x4 if I wanna sub 2?

Fast enough that Centers + Edges + 3x3x3 is less than 120 seconds. :rolleyes:





Oh, realistically? well, if you go for around maybe 50 second edges, then the centres + 3x3x3 should add up to less than 70 seconds. What is your 3x3x3 stage generally?

Usually sub-30

I have like 30+ 3x3 stage normally, and I average 1:30
Learn Yau
When I do Redux, I have like 16 centres? With Yaudux I have like 35 centres, 20 edges, 35 3x3 stage :s (that's taking parity into account.)

Edit: Hope that answered your question Sub 30 centres is easily good enough for sub 2. Sub 2 is easy lol.

Which 4x4 is better? Maru or Mini QJ?

More like sub 40 centres. Yau would be great but the keyhole style last 4 centres is a little awkward I think.

Keyhole style? Lolwut? Centres are easy like this, it just takes a little longer.
Anyway, you could do centres exactly the same as Redux, if you setup the unsolved cross edge to be where you're turning. I think my centres are about the same, or only slightly slower than Redux centres. The thing that slows me from 16 to 35 (it's prolly more like 18 to 32 now that I think about it) is building the first 3 cross edges.
My final suggestion? Learn Yau IMO makes 4x4 more fun, less frustrating, and also, as a result of it being more fun, I improve faster because I practise more.

Keyhole style. Aligning the unsolved space to give you more freedom to turn. The move ergonomics for aligning that unsolved cross piece are not that great IMO.

Redux seems to make 4x4x4 more straightforward for me. 6 centres 3 edges 6 edges last 2/3 3x3x3 GOGOGO done.

How is <R, 2R, 3R, U> not good?
