The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[~Phoenix Death~]

it's for 2 bucks here: http://kiospuzzle.com/product-detail/22/750/cube-box-transparant

and my question is: where to buy cubeseat (daniel's profile pic)

If you're joking, google it.
If you're serious, Daniel took the cubesmith logo, took the top part, and rotated it to make it look like from an anvil, to a toilet seat.

What is the maximum amount of time that CCT can "time"? I hope I make sense.

press the space bar and wait a day.

a website thatr shows how to calculate the permutations (not pll combinations) on a 3x3 other than wikipedia. its for a project.

 

[cyoubx]

Here I'm pretty sure they forget about rotating centers (it's just combinations).

 

[vcuber13]

its not right though it says 5.19^20

Where can you buy a center piece for a mini QJ 4x4?

 

[bluedasher]

Is it possible to adjust the tension on a mini QJ 4x4? If so, how cause I don't see multiple screws?

thanks, i dont know how i forgot about jaaps site

How to read an algo like this: Ri Ui (x U2) Ri L Ui B2 (Just something I came up with, I dont get the ( and the ))

Is there any place where I an buy a center cap for a GuHong? My yellow center cap fell out of a train when I was "training".

R' U' x U2 R' L U' B2

Something like (x U2) means to perform the cube rotation x, and the turn U2 that follows it, in one fluid motion and not as two separate executions.

How about cutting corners? I have no idea what it means! I've been speedcubing for 3 years and i still have no idea what it means.

 

[XXGeneration]

The ability to cut corners is the ability of a cube to still make turns when its faces are not perfectly aligned.

Thank you. I actually thought it was an algorithm...

Fail.

"Noob" question: I use the reduction method on the 7x7 (centers, 3-long edges, 5-long edges, 3x3) and I have all of the 3-long edges except one, which has a flipped center. Algorithm plawks?

The one screw tightens the whole ball, it'll tighten all the sides, don't worry.

(Rr)2 B2 U2 (Ll) U2 (Rr)’ U2 (Rr) U2 F2 (Rr) F2 (Ll)’ B2 (Rr)2

it can be applied to 4x4x4 too if you know that algorithm for flipping the dedge

 

[Narraeson]

(Rr)2 B2 U2 (Ll) U2 (Rr)’ U2 (Rr) U2 F2 (Rr) F2 (Ll)’ B2 (Rr)2

I know the 4x4 last 2 edges alg, but this is a weird one. I have them all, it's just the center of one is switched. And, how to you flip 2 corresponding outer edges?
(Not really used to 7x7 notation ;-; )

Edit: Ohhh, I recognize that alg. That's the OLL parity.. not really anything to do with edges.

technically the center isn't switched. the otuer 2 wings are.
When you do the Rr2 B2 U2 Ll..the peices you include in there will be flipped. so if you only want the outer 2 peices to be flipped then just grab them

if you need inners to be flipped on the 7x7x7 just do the R2 (though on the very inner most layer that needs to have the peices flipped)

if you need then i can make a quick video explaining it . though it's very basic. just do that algorithm to inner layers/outer layers and see what happens. toy with it
