So your times have increased by 17 seconds without you doing anything different than normal?

sorry I should have made it clear I was responding to timeless.

Oh Ok

for 4x4 pll parity what should i use wgen instead of an opposite swap it is and adjacent swap? right now i just use set up moves to make it an opposite swap

 

[RyanReese09]

Just do R U R' U, PLL parity, undo. So basically what you're doing.

I only do that if it's a pure case though. I won't do that instead of the regular PLL parity since it has increased move count.

I have a rubik's revenge and i want to lube that thing so it can turn. What lube to use and how to apply it? Silicone spray or vaseline?
(there is no choice of buying another 4x4 in the moment)

Or you can do the fast way. pop out 2 edges and spray some silicone in there and put the edges back, then work it in.

Does anyone have a tip on fixing parity when doing classic pochman and M2 if you forgot to do it after the corners but you know where the edges are?

edit, I already found it. move the broken edges to UB and UL, without destroying the rest of the M layer, U'F2 U M2 U' F2 U and undo setup moves.

(4x4)

Setup:
R2 u' (R U R' F R' F' R) u R2 u2 (R U R' F R' F' R) u2

Anybody got a faster/more intelligent solution than dealing with them separately?

If anybody has any other Nakajima edge method hax, it'd be cool to share

what brand cube is this and is it good? (new on lightake) http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.5CM_2x2x2_XY_Magic_Cube_White-37002

 

[Keban]

I want to buy the MF8 ball core square 1, along with the YJ crazy foot cube.
I want to get them from the same site, so the best choice right now is lightake. They have the Foot cube, but I don't know which square 1 is the ball core one, or if they even have it. Help?

Cube Depot has both. I don't know if it's a ball core one or not; I ordered one and I'll let you know... if I can remember haha

 

[unirox13]

I'm in need of a quick N, E, V, or Y perm. Preferably one that begins with an x, as I use Roux and at this step it's helpful if I can gain a view of the bottom of the cube and permute my corners at the same time. feel free to post what you use even if it doesn't begin with an x, I'm open to all offers.

Anybody? I've tried almost all of the ones on th wiki including rewriting them a few different ways and I've yet to find one that suits me.

 

[danthecuber]

Where can i find US Nats cutoff times?
