2. counting means it's an average without taking the best and worst times out of the average.

My Mf8 megaminx is really locky after lubing and losening the tensions, although the speed is ok if i tighten the megaminx hardly turns.
How can i get rid of this problem

Yea, this happened to me too. What you should do is take out each screw, and stretch the spring until its the proper size (covering the top of the screw, but not the notches). It helps a lot.
Also, you might want to look for some mods. Kickflip has a good tutorial for the Mf8 type I and type II.

If I spray paint on a transparent cube, eg guhong, would It be comp legal?

 

[EricReese]

Good question, I think not, if you spray the inner parts of the cube as well. If its just the outer layers then maybe fine, you might want to ask a delegate or read the regulations on that.

nvm.

I think this is the most applicable regulation

3j) Puzzles must be clean and must not have any markings, elevated pieces, damages, or other differences that distinguish one piece from a similar piece.

so as long as the pieces are identical in color and texture you should be ok.

Hey guys! I just took apart my ultimate guhong that I got from donovan to clean the lubix out. I had it for a long time and was thinking on relubing it. But when I took a screw out it shocked me! There was a lot of plastic gunk all over the screws and the washers and the springs. Is there anything I did wrong? should I clean it out?

I've lost the little nozzle/tip (not cap) to the Lubix. Is there any way for me to be able to use it without having massive amounts come out? (If I barely press the plunger, a giant blob comes out, way too much to use in my GuHong)

 

[Dacuba]

Average: ~17.5

Last Slot + Last Layer average of 75: ~7.5

What do you think about that relation?

You could stick something into it to get the lubix out. A paper clip would probably work for getting small amounts out.

Yes, clean it out and relube it. The plastic "cube dust" just built up over time.

 

[Rpotts]

yea lubix in the core seems to build up with the cube dust and slow you down, it's good to clean it regularly, just a damp paper towel, maybe some pipe cleaners, then relube lightly (add more if preferred afterwards.)

(For Fridrich) My cross is ~5 seconds, and 2look OLL is ~4 seconds. Should I learn OLL or improve my cross first?

 

[Rpotts]

improve cross

Its pretty good, you should work on LL recognition and excecution. If theres an alg that you dont like, the wiki has several algs for each OLL and PLL.
