Does the always being able to solve the cross in 8 moves or less thing include the ADF (assuming cross on D)? I failed at answering my non-cuber friend today. xD

In FTM - no
In STM - yes

He probably hasn't shipped it yet. 1 day shipping means it will take 1 day to get to your house after he ships it, not that it will get to your house 1 day after you order it.

Ah I didn't know that. My bad i hope he ships soon, i die a little inside when i check my mail and its not there

I'm looking for some fun facts about the cube for a possible TV interview this weekend.

Therefore i wonder i someone knows the answer to this:
If I turn one side one the cube every second and 24 hours a day, how long will it take me to find all possible positions on the cube?

I think i herd the answer to this sometime but cant remember it and i'm to lazy to calculate it

Does anyone know how to unscramble a master magic?

Where can I get a v-cube cheaper than at v-cubes website.
amazon has cheaper shipping (drops the price by like six dollars)
Not looking for a knock off, but a place that sells v-cubes cheaper than what verdes sells them for. (6x6-7x7

Wrong, the cross (correctly aligned) takes a total of at most 8 face turns to solve from any starting configuration of the cross edges. See: http://www.cubezone.be/crossstudy.html.

According to my calculations, for all of the 102 cases that take 8 face turns to solve, a relative cross can be completed in 7 face turns, except for 16 of those cases. These cases all have all the D-layer edges misoriented in the U layer (D sticker not facing up). Two cases are { UF, UL, UB, UR } positions contain (in that order) { FD, BD, LD, RD } or { FD, BD, RD, LD }. The other cases are rotations and/or mirrors of these 2. To solve these 16 cases in 8 face turns requires them to solved directly without an ADF at the end.

Possibly here.
It has free shipping, but the prices are slightly higher.

is CLL faster than ortega?

 

[Zane_C]

I'm far from skilled at 2x2, but yes it is generally much faster.

a couple q's
1) I just learned roux about 2 weeks ago, and I'm averaging about 58-65 seconds. I still slow down when paring my edge/corner pieces for creation of my blocks. I just have a difficult time visualizing where the piece needs to be in order for me to pair it correctly. Are there any excersizes that will help me to start recognizing the patterns a little easier or will it just come in time the more I solve?

2) Could someone post a link to a page that shows megaminx notation and maybe a simple tutorial? I'm getting one for Christmas and have only been able to find video tutorials so far and would really like a text based one.

Thanks a lot

depends on the scramble, but yes

 

[cuberkid10]

If you actually comit and practice, it's much faster.

 

[Cyrus C.]

Some people can do ortega quicker than CLL, but using CLL will probably show quicker improvement for most. Most people, as they advance in 2x2x2, go on this route: LBL>Ortega>CLL>EG.

Do you recommend putting silicone spray inside a diy core?
