The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

Anyone know a good V perm? I am currently updating my PLL's and trying to get faster ones and this is the last one I feel to be very slow. I use...
L' U R U' L U L' U R' U' L U2 R U2 R'
any answer would be appreciated.

Is there a site (other than cubezone) that has algs for all the square-1 EPs?

I've heard mf8 does. Ask Neil.

That V perm I find to be quite bad. The d' is too awkward, and is slow to execute.

Do a U' then a y

Sorry, my wording was bad.

so does anyone have another V-perm? that is the one algorithm i get in over 4 sec.

Look on the wiki.

pkfeng version. Learn the notation. I also have a few more sites/files including the EPs that the currenr WR holder uses, pm me if you want them.

What order do the screws and springs and washers and such go in with a DIY?

 

[iSpinz]

What order do the screws and springs and washers and such go in with a DIY?

Screw, Big washer, Spring, Small washer, center, core

going this way >>>

Have the flat sides of the washers touching the spring.

Have the flat sides of the washers touching the spring.

in other words non sharp ends of washer touching plastic.

Is this the real deal or a knock off. http://www.popbuying.com/detail.pb/sku.4x4x4_Maru_Magic_Cube_Black-29885

Also why dont people ever use popbuying when products get removed from lightake? are they that attatched to paypal?

Real.

Do assembled coloured GuHongs from LightTake (sp.?) come pre lubed?

If I were to make a Barrel Square-1 that was completely cylindrical, would it be legal in competition? I seem to think that it wouldn't, but I can't find anything in the regulations against it. It doesn't allow any extra moves, and it doesn't make any piece ambiguous.

I went to a bookstore the other day and I looked at the Rubik' cubes. It's the hexagonal packaging type; I noticed that the stickers were made of something like vinyl - PET maybe? Can anybody confirm this?

I think a reason this would be illegal would be because of rule 3h, specifically the part that mentions "more pieces are visible". If you had a barrel square-1, there would be angles from which a different set of colors would be visible than would be true with a normal square-1. Specifically, if you looked at it directly from the front, you would see some side colors that you wouldn't otherwise see on a normal square-1. I would think it would be illegal, personally.

Just wondering, who has a really good official single (like sub-13) but really sucky average? As in, the difference between single and average (in the same round ofc) is really great.

12.56 --> 18.58
11.56 --> 16.03

I use the one from Erik's PLL video. I love it. Not sure why people dislike V-perms.
