The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

Okay, thanks. The reason I asked was because doing finger tricks similar to the 3x3 scratched up the stickers pretty badly, so I was wondering if anyone else had to compensate for similar issues.

Does the Edison 2x2 have springs and is it any good?

 

[cuberkid10]

Edison 2x2's have a Rubiks mech, thus, no screw-spring mech. My guess is that they turn pretty bad, as does the Rubiks.

How good are the algs on badmephisto's page? I was wanting to learn full PLL from one single place so I can update them as he does. Is there another page you would recommend?

I'd recommend going through all the algs for one case here and choosing your favourite.

Badmephisto's PLL algs are good, although I do not recommend learning F, V, or N's. Sarah's website has good algs for these cases: www.sa967st.webs.com

Speedsolving wiki has all of them.

I knew someone would say that, I don't think I am yet smart enough to know which algorithm I learn is the fastest or easiest to do, I just want someone to tell me which direction I should go in and figure that stuff out as I progress.

EDIT: How is this one?

Just do whichever one is most comfortable for you to do. If you learn a bad one, you can always change later.

Will Cubesmith tiles fit the Maru 4x4?

Ok, ever since I started cubing, I have always done Sune as R' U2 R U R' U R, and Antisune as R' U' R U' R' U2 R, and I always thought that was normal. Then lately I have been seing many mentions of Sune as R U R' U R U2 R', and antisune as R U2 R' U' R U' R'. For me personally these algs seem to be slower than the ones I have always used...

my question is, which set is the 'normal' one that almost everyone uses? I'm not gonna change either way, I just want to know.

 

[Daniel Wu]

I always have done. R U R' U R U2 R' and L' U' L U' L' U2 L / R' U' R U' R' U2 R.

The sune you use is not the normal one, but the antisune you use is the one most people use. The other antisune you mention is just the inverse of sune.
(Try doing the second U of the normal sune with your ring finger)

How do I make custom stickers? I have many spare whites that I wanna make custom . Please don't link me to that youtube video where the guy doesn't make any sense.

I just can't figure how to do that quickly. Thanks for the answer though

It takes time to get used to, but it's hard to sub-1 sune without it. Basically you just have to do R U R' and then leave your ring finger on BRU (BUR?) and move your whole hand to the left to do the turn.
