Ryan, that alg was written in commutator notation. Fully written out it is U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U.

::EDIT:: Dangit, why must you two both be on the forums?

 

[Mike Hughey]

That's the alg SK gave me back in the day.

That's a pretty good source. It seems like a nice way to handle it.

Eric, that alg was written in commutator notation. Fully written out it is U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U.

There isn't anyone named Eric even posting in here...?

Edit-But thank you for clarifying.

 

[musicninja17]

How do you guys handle edges coming up on your sticker sets? Do you tack them down with something, or just clip the corners off (seen that done)
reminds me of Chester Lian's main AV (haiyan i think) that all the stickers are just messed....i forgot to ask him if that's just natural wearing or what....

i'm probably just going to order some half brights off cubesmith.... idk

Thank you for answering a question of mine that I never asked

For BLD, I'm doing letter pairs. Right now I'm just making up words/images as I memo. Haven't been any problems remembering memo so far, should I spend time making a letter pair word/image list?

In the long term, yes. It allows better memo. Here is mine I have been working on. Search for a thread in hte BLD s ection I made, collection of letter pair lists.

Here is my updated list. Some of them you won't understand since I used people I know IRL.

It's 66% done. 380/575. Chris Hardwick has one online on his site

Letter pair lists allow for easier multi also.

Off topic-I won't stop anyone from suggesting some letter pairs I don't have .

 

[freshcuber]

I have done that and I've got more than 80% of mine done but not all of it memoed so I usually just make it up as I go along. Write down your edge pairs and the image you used so that you'll eventually have a dully memoed list making it a lot easier.

 

[Matt]

Now that GuHongs are available again on http://www.lubixcube.com, are the modifications done to the Lubix Elite worth the extra price? I have an Ultimate and am thinking of upgrading to an Elite

 

[Godmil]

Oh that's really interesting, I thought the number of letter pairs would be too great for casual learning, but seeing a list like that makes me think it may not be 'too' hard. (first thing that came into my head (from Rowe's latest video is 'contact juggler' for CJ )
Could be fun making a list

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

I was wondering if anyone has modded their V-7's and how successful it was

Memyselfandpi did and didn't notice any incredible difference.

Can I use this cube, with this sticker (the one on the bottom), to compete in 5bld? I fear I can't but I want to be sure.
And if I can't, see that extra sticker there? It's a slightly different shade of blue, just slightly. If I would cut that, so it would fit, would that be okay to use?

Looks like you can, IF you cut it down. I would just replace them with either tiles or CS set.

AH PERFECT. Thanks for the CJ on my list now . It actually is quite fun compiling a list, until you get stuck and you have ~ 100 left. Or more. Then it gets annoying (in which case, I post a note on facebook and I get many ideas from there )

Magic question:

The strings seems to like come out of the grooves on the first turn, and it feels like its going to just come apart in my hands. is there a way to fix this or just be more careful?

New strings or new magic.

Also, a string could be strung wrong. so try restringing it

Has anyone outside of the US gotten any USPS shipments lately? I ordered some Lubix on the 1st, got an email/Paypal update that it shipped on the 4th, and it hasn't arrived yet. I'm starting to wonder if I should be worried...

Wait.

Why does my Guhong suck so much? I keep hearing all these great things about it? I lubed it and it is still not smooth at all and pops a lot.

Lube the core with lubix

Overhype? High expectations = depressing results
