The WCA regulations said a magic must be flat on the surface to be considered solved. What is the penalty if the magic is partially on the timer? I couldn't fully understand the regulations.

+2

Not always. See above.

M2. If it doesn't make sense learn Pochmann then M2. Although both are technically Pochmann for edges.

Is there a video for modding a chinaminx?
To make it lock less?
I bought it wrongly.

No need to mod it, just lube it and break it in. Chinaminxes are often bad out of the box but get better with time.

Inject massive amount of Vasline and leave it for a week. Clean it out later (in a week) also, get the caps off by sticking a pin in between the plastic and the cap and loosen or tighten it

Does anyone know where the best place to buy a speedstack timer in Australia.

Does anyone know where the best place to buy a speedstack timer in Australia.

Dejá vu.

www.speedstacks.com.au

OR

If you don't mind a few less features, then just grab a QJ timer off Popbuying or Lightake (or virtually any other site)

Is this cube any good?: http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.3x3x3_Type_A_Magic_Cube_Black_(New)-29939

If you mean a physical shop, then it would be hard to find, and I'd really need to know specifically where.

Otherwise, this:

Oh and, what is a "qj"?

I personally wouldn't buy it, because I noticed it's size:

Dimensions (L*W*H): 52.0*52.0*52.0mm

It's a mini (Alpha Mini), so I would only buy it if you want to use a mini for OH.

Oh and, what is a "qj"?

QJ is just a brand, so 'a QJ' probably just refers to one of their products.

Oh, sorry, it means one handed. Sometimes, if your hands aren't that big, it is easier to use a smaller cube for it.

QFE. Anyone know about this? I have an MF8. It's pretty good, though i think it should cut corners.

What would you consider an avg of 1:30 for the sq 1? How much would a decent avg be? I use the 2 alg Oll and 1 alg pll thing. Any other methods? I can't remember them sq1 algs damnit!

mf8 is the bomb!

Easy way to memorize sq-1 algs: shape. Just memorize some of the shapes you go through, then just figure out how to get from shape to shape.
