The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

I don't think you can unless you post it somewhere on the internet.

I just got an idea. Would attaching it to the post be okay, assuming it is a small enough file? Then I could click on the attachment, copy the url, then post the video like a normal video. Would that work?

Do you have a Facebook? You can upload it to Facebook and embed it here.

Nope.(click on link to find out why)

So would my idea work?

You'd probably be better off just making a YouTube account; it takes about 30 seconds and will be useful even after you post the video.

 

[danthecuber]

ok, I will take that into consideration, and if I do, I will be posting my videos in the webm format, rather than flash

still looking for an answer to my question, though

What's a good lube for a V-7?

I used CRC Silicon Spray (I disassembled the whole thing, lubed it, and reassembled; I wanted every piece to get an equal coat of lube). Along with regular breaking in, my cube's performance has improved greatly. My PB has dropped 3 minutes since I lubed it and I don't know how much to thank practice for that. The lube helped substantially... I broke my PB by like 1 minute the first solve.

Where can I get CRC? I don't really want to order from the internet just because it's always a hassle for me. I only have Lubix which is bad for big cubes because it's nearly impossible to work in. I have my 7x7 in pieces and I'm just doing some sanding and cleaning up after the crappy molding process. I plan on washing the old lube of off all the pieces either way so I'll definitely need a new lube.

What's the best method for 2x2x2? I've heard CFOP but wanted to confirm before learning anything

lolno

Although CFOP can be fast on 2x2 Ortega is a much better beginners method.

There's a good tutorial. CLL is a more advanced method, as is EG. Check them out in the wiki.

So for the long term, CLL will be the best way to go to speedsolve it, correct?

I hate 2x2. I'm no expert. EG is a ton of algs and CLL is part of EG iirc. EG is ~100 algs. Maybe more. For some reason 120ish comes to mind but it seems high. read the wiki articles about them and wait for someone who actually does 2x2 for a more informed answer. As far as I can recommend though it should be something like

intuitive CFOP----->Ortega----->CLL----->EG

However a lot of people stop at CLL

Lubix is easy to work in on big cubes. Add more, go from different places on different sides and different layers. Bam. lubed.

Yea I really wasn't looking to blow through my Lubix on my 7x7 though since I'll end up having to clean it out when i add the adjustable core.

is jigaloo good for guhongs?

I've heard bad things about Jig-a-Loo, especially with GuHongs. I recommend Lubix if you can get it. Apparently 50K wt Shock Oil also works. I still recommend Lubix.

I tried it on mine a month ago and now there's a permanent residue that it left on all the pieces
That's why I ordered lubix, should arrive soon

Try to scrape it off with an X-Acto Knife or some high grit sandpaper. I have some worn down 600 grit and it's so beat it only buffs the piece now and doesn't actually sand any away. It's really helpful.
