Jigaloo and CRC work good.

Is there a way to fix loose pegs on a Majic Clock?

1 or 2 of em keep falling to the opposite side during solves.

I have the same problem, any tips ?

Has anyone met any square-1 solvers that does slash with their left hand? I met one on mf8 and my mind was totally blown.

I've already met myself, yes. What's the big deal with slash on the left hand ? It's perfectly natural for a left-handed person like me...

I'm left-handed, but I still do it with my right, as I use my right for most of my cubing.

This.

Does anyone have good ideas for me to stop myself from using Fridrich? I'm just lazy so I pick it because it's fastest, but I'm trying to phase it out.

I think he means like how many moves does it require to solve the state furthest from solved with 2gen scrambles and solves. It's like how it's seven for cubeshape on square-1.

I'm trying to learn the Heise method (just as a mental challange), it's really interesting however I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with my own commuters. Are there any tutorials on commuters other than Ryan Heise's one?


EDIT: Actually, it became easier to find information when I realised they are called 'commutators' and not 'commuters' But still, any links would be greatly appreciated.

Btw imho the "leaving three corners" step is the hardest one (to do effeciently).

Is it possible to do the pattern in the logo of this speedsolving forum (cross with 4 S) on 3x3? If yes, how?

 

[bluedasher]

yes, the algorithm is

(L, R, D', U')*3 B2, F2

 

[Beppe81]

yes, the algorithm is

(L, R, D', U')*3 B2, F2

Thanks!

1. I've always been wondering what the letters in the name of a perm stand for? (e.g. A-Perm, Y-Perm, what do the A and the Y represent?)
2. Why can you take off the caps of the edges and corners on a F-II cube? (...other than weed-smuggling purposes) Is it so that you can load them with stuff like button cells or coins to make the cube heavier in case you don't like light-weight cubes?

 

[irontwig]

"Each permutation is associated with a letter that loosely corresponds to the permutation pattern to allow easy identification of the algorithms. OK, it does require some creativity sometimes, but never the less, I think it is still useful. Think of stellar constellations and their names as a good example. This classification has been proposed by Mirek Goljan back in the early 80's and we find it quite useful when discussing the cube. "

as for number 2: diamond smuggling maybe?

I found a cube at some chinese webshop called the 'type a magic' and it sells for 4 dollars including shipping. Is there another name for this cube? I can't find any reviews or w/e about it on YouTube.

Anyone got any experience with buying from these guys btw?

 

[cyoubx]

Popbuying used to be a really popular store before Lightake and some others came. I've never ordered from them, but it is safe from what I hear.

This isn't what I meant. I need an algorithm that swaps DF and DR as well as UF and UR.

Edit: Thanks cincyaviation!
