Is there any difference between white and black v-cubes?, expect the color of course.
Im thinking about buying a set of three from official site.

Not really, but keep in mind that the white cubes comes with a black side, not a white side. (Stickers)

Could you restring a magic so it has a different pattern to solve it and of so would it still be legal? By pattern I don't mean the pattern of rings I mean the motions you do to solve it.

What algorithm do you use for orienting the corners in the bowtie OLL?

I'm using R' F' L' F R F' L F now and it works, but I'm not a huge fan of it or any of the others on the wiki so hopefully you guys will have some better ones.

Do you mean algorithm and not method? Do a y' then do : F' (r U R' U') (r' F R F) Basically its F' then sexy move then sledgehammer. But the beginning R moves are lowercase.

 

[freshcuber]

I solve from a different angle so I'd do U' F r U R' U' r' F R

Edit: ninja'd

I love y2 F R' F' r U R U' r'

Is it preferred to say Cross on Right or Cross on Back? The cross is on back but it's basically the opposite of cross on left.

3c) Competitors must use any colour scheme for cube puzzles, as long as the puzzles show one colour per face in solved state. For other puzzles competitors must use any variation that has the same moves, positions and solutions as the original puzzle

Is this is?

That is exactly what I was looking for thanks even if I incorrectly spelled "commutators"

Note that if you don't execute it with all the rs and such it's: F' L F R' F' L' F R. Inverse that to get R' F' L F R F' L' F which is very similar to his algorithm.

By the way, I like y' l' U R D' R' U' R D

I just got my order of cubes in which I got my long wanted sq-1 and juggled around with it for a while but still haven't learned to actually solve it further than the cubeshape. Wat learn now?

 

[Cubenovice]

Learn to solve it???
The real challence would be to fully figure it out on your own!

 

[TiLiMayor]

I was hoping an answer like "well there are x common sq-1 methods: a, b, c" but you know, I will go and try to solve it on my own, already fixed everything except for an opp parity on top.

You can try any of these. Your choice.

Very explicative, but I will stick with Stefan's video about LL I don't feel like learning new algs right now, but finding them out this way, seems more puzzle feel to me.

When doing the pi 6 mod, does just sanding the bigger inner pieces make enough difference to not have to sand the smaller ones?

Since the large interal pieces effect the third layer, I imagine that so. I would do the full mod for full potential speedsolving capabilities.

Is there a topic/list of the fastest PLLs/OLLs?

No. It's all down to personal preference. Browse the Wiki.

I'm using R' F' L' F R F' L F now and it works, but I'm not a huge fan of it or any of the others on the wiki so hopefully you guys will have some better ones.

I use y' F' r U R' U' r' F R . It's my personal preference.

Is it allowed to withdraw from a competition event even once you have applied for it?

I have. I just left for a piano lesson -_-. I think I could have refunded my money, but idk.

What I can think of is
-Color distortion
-different stickers (white and black)
-Different logo color if you care so much
-Possible different colors of the internal pieces?
-White is sold in more places like amazon.

If I have a Guhong that is really good, is it worth it to get Maru screws+springs and an Alpha-1 core?

if its already really good, why are you concerned?

Go onto the LubixCubes youtube channel and do all the mods you can. After that if you lubed with lubix you won't need to do anything else to it.
