How do I lube a Lan Lan 2x2 with silicone spray? Just misalign and spray in? Just one side? One spray or two? On a side with a screw or without? Thanks

With one eye? Really?

you don't need both eyes to perceive. all that having both eyes does is to keep an image centered in your line of vision. with one eye, the image will be seen as slightly to one side, assuming that you were looking through both eyes to begin with

We should get Feliks to close one eye and do an average. My bet: he gets sub-10.

is sub 15 possible on unlubed cubes?

Lets ask felix
depends on how hard the turning is for unlubed, but yes very possible

Take it apart, spray all the pieces including the core, wait for it to dry, then assemble.

left index finger

left index finger

this, i prefer to do a very slight x rotation during it so it's almost a U'

I used to do left index, but now i've figured out the pushing up with right index is really fast with no regrip.

bottom of what tringle?

the triangle part of the bottom of the corner. and my bad, i meant to say top.

is sub 15 possible on unlubed cubes?

some cubes are beasts without lube, so it depends on the lube.
Like the guhong and lingyun would be likly for an unlubed sub15

well the guhong is crap without lube, and i havent used a lingyun but i assume that it would be true for it aswell.

How do you properly lube the Dayan 4x4 with Lubix

I took mine all the way apart, and lubed the white core as normal. (it's similar to a 3x3 / LanLan core once you take the black sphere apart). I lubed the pieces on the core that hold the black sphere in place, and then lubed lightly on the underside, and top side of the ball where the pieces rub. Spins great. Unfortunately edges still pop a bit on mine because of the design. Looking forward to the new X 4by.

Or if you are lazy, you can take the pieces off, and pull up on the center piece and put a small dab about half the size of a bb on each spot of the core where the screw is visible. (between the center piece and the core)

Then a small dab on the surfaces once it's back together.

where can i get magic DIY kits?
preferably american store, for shipping reasons.

If i were to start making custom magics for people with custom inserts and such.
1) Does anyone think there is a market for it? I plan on selling them for like $10-$15 depending on the price of the tiles.
2) Is it illegal or does it infringe on a patent?

9spuzzles doesnt work and that is the only one i found

Is ZB method just like

Cross, F2L, then on last F2L slot I do ZBF2L to make an all edges oriented case, then use ZBLL to solve the OLL and pLL in one step (all edges have to be oriented i think?)

If you do that exact method, (ZBF2L and ZBLL) how many cases would I have to learn, and how many algs? I am looking on the wiki but like i get contradictory numbers

Thanks

 

[RyanReese09]

Yes do your first question
zbll is 492 cases, zbf2l is 306 cases, though many are mirrors so you don't have to learn as much

 

[TheMachanga]

What does CLL stand for?

 

[Toad]

Corners (of the) last layer.

It refers to the group of sub-methods used to solve 4 corners in a layer without affecting the other layer's corners. It's often used to mean "CLL" on a 2x2 cube on which the affects on "edges" are irrelevant.

 

[EricReese]

When u mean mirrors..u mean i just inverse the alg that I know for the case?

 

[RyanReese09]

No, you mirror it on the left hand side, inversing the alg means doing it backwards
don't do the zb method though
