You couldn't have assembled it without a core. The core is what you screw the center pieces into, which holds the entire cube together. You must be confusing the core for something else. If you could take a picture or two, it would help to identify your problem (if, in fact, you have any problem at all).

okay so i guess i left a piece out it was the COLORED guhond so the iduvual pieces were made of 2 or 3 colored pieces of plastic that snapped toghter. i made all the peices and then noticed i didnt have a core. sorry about the confusion

What is the equivalent of 30 seconds and 20 seconds in 2H 3x3 to OH 3x3?

its about double, as you get faster the OH time slowly catches up (of course it never reaches the 2H time). but it also depends on the person.

for example, i avg 22-24 for 2H and 43-45 for OH

Ok, it obviously isn't normal for a core to be missing. You should contact whoever you bought it from so see about getting one sent to you.

Why do most cubers recommend buying light/bright blue stickers along when purchasing the half bright cubesmith sticker set?

I'm not very familiar with the +2 and DNF for magic, and WCA regs don't explain it very well, can somebody please tell me?

If the 2 last panels are more than 45 degrees off the table, it is a +2. If they're folded all the way back onto the rest of the Magic, it is a +2. If they're folded underneath the rest of the magic, it is a DNF. If it's more than one flip away from being solved, it is a DNF.

Not sure about the underneath exception, since its still a flip away from the solved state. If it has more than 1 incomplete flip, DNF (something like _/\)

Bump to a question 2posts above.

I am sure. Dave Campbell (Canadian delegate) told me at the my last competition. The reasoning is that, if the two panels are folded on top of the rest of the Magic, they're incorrect. But, if they're folded underneath, then, technically, they are the only correct panels, and the other six are incorrect.

I didn't know that most cubers recommended that particular sticker set. Maybe cause they're easy to distinguish?

The thing I would like to know is why replace the blue that comes in the set?

For 5x5 and 4x4 I brought the half bright white set. I find it very difficult to distinguish the difference between the normal blue and black when I quickly looking around for a dedge piece. I highly recommend getting the bright blue

 

[Rpotts]

I have the half bright set, I like it, some probably just want the blue lighter/brighter. Is that too hard to understand?

And thats what he answered? As with just about everything hardware related in cubing, it's personal preference. If you like the darker blue, get that, if you like light, order that. There's no science behind it.

Anyone knows a 4x4 algorithm that swaps 2 adjacent center pieces, without disturbing other centers?

Rw2 B2 Rw2 Lw2 B2 Lw2


Not sure about this but it may work.

What is a good/normal corresponding F2L time for a very high 17 average at 3x3? (with full fridrich)

not possible, what are you doing?
