What type of wire do I need to get to connect my stackmat to my computer?

2.5mm to 3.5mm connector. here
EDIT: Ninja'd, but you need the right stackmat.

What's your avg? If you are sub2, just practice. Other wise work on your turning skills.
I can do the OLL sub5, on my dayan. I learned 2 different algs, and had to figure out how to FT it before I could do it tho.

. I own a dayan, maru, ES and a shengshou. and rank them 4.ES 3.M 2.SS 1.D
I love the shengshous size and how all of the inner layers turn so smooth, but the cc isn't that great. Does the cc improve with a lot of breaking in?

I'm sub-4

Actually I did a speed test of only the First 2 layers of the 3x3x3 stage. I found that I can solve that part ALMOST as fast as I can on a real 3x3x3. However my last layer is much slower than on a real 3x3x3. Anything that involves turning more than 1 layer really slows me down.

Why?
Is there some rule that you have to get the V Cube 5 if you can afford it?
Why can't he choose for himself?

its a recommendation, I'm telling him my opinion on which 5x5 i think is the best

 

[uberCuber]

for the 2nd solution,the reply was to Julian,

Julian's solution was 9 moves, not 8, so you still got it wrong anyway.

 

[ilikecubing]

whatever it was,it was 8+

Edit : nvm yeah i got it wrong

What type of wire do I need to get to connect my stackmat to my computer?

An audio cable. Either one with 3.5 to 2.5 OR one with 3.5 on both ends with a 25. additional adapter to connect.

Yeah, my last layer takes 10+seconds. but since your just starting, try both horizontal and vertical edge pairing and see which is easier for you.
First thing you should do is try and get your centers under 30 seconds, then work on beginner edge paring until you get decent at it. That should get you sub 3. Then learn an advanced edge technique. This is what I did to get sub1.5

Oh yeah that. Thanks.
One thing I forgot to say is that you can by the FULL cable at DealExtreme.

I've got a whole lot of algs but they are all optimal. Is there a program that you can input algs and the program gives you non-optimal solutions?

Hm. I thought it would be on there. On Waffos podcast they mention KCLL as a substep of Roux. its not on the wiki. Anyone have any ideas of what/where it is?

Try this thread I think it's where Thom first proposed the idea.

1.) (y') D R' L2 F' L' D 6 moves

2.) L F' U' R' F D' R2 7 moves

3.) (y) U' F' L' U2 D' R' F 7 moves

How about

1) (y) D' F D2 R L' 5 moves
You could also replace the last 2 moves with an M layer turn and get the cross in 4 moves, but it would end up on B.

I live in the UK. My 2 X-cubes have just arrived from the States.
They cost £50.16 and I have to pay £15.79 to collect them from the PO, that's 30%.
Did anyone else know about this ridiculous charge and why don't US stores tell you this when you order?

I'm looking for a web page with F2L algs using empty slots. I already worked out some basic ones but for example, I'd like to know an empty slot shortcut for the case when the pair is in place but the edge is flipped.

 

[RyanReese09]

No real shortcut for that. Just do this

R U' R' y' U R' U2 R U2 R' U R

 

[peterbone]

I knew I'd seen a good shortcut for it somewhere and I managed to find it again. (D (R U R') d'(L' U L) D'). From http://www.badmephisto.com/f2l.php . This site only has a couple of empty slot examples though. Has no-one gathered these together in one place?
