They are very reliable to the UK, used them a number of times. I have never gone for standard delivery though, always UPS express. Record for that was ordered Friday evening, got delivered to my work on the Monday!!

Wow, that's brilliant!
The UPS option costs a staggering $22.30 though.

iirc, C4U is slow, and good shipping is mad expensive (sometimes more than the cube)
There are better shops

Yeah, I just found that out
Also, icubemart don't have the core in stock, speedcubeshop don't have either and cubedepot don't have the core in stock either.

Just did some research on GuHong edges + LunHui torpedoes and many videos suggest either modding the piece of the torpedo itself.
However, these pictures here suggest that neither have been modded:

Any help on how to achieve this?

I got no idea how he has managed to do that.. I don't know of any tutorials, but you can see how the "final product" should look on WitEden's website http://www.witeden.com/goods.php?id=319 the last picture

Yeah, there you can see that they've actually modded the piece.

What is an easy way of memorizing corners in BLD?

What is an easy way of memorizing corners in BLD?

Assign a letter to each sticker (A-X), then memorize the letters in order of the targets and make an audio loop, using letter pairs, and repeat that audio loop in your head over and over until you're done with corners. This assumes that you memo corners last and execute them first.

For example, if the targets were TMJKROWP, I would say "Tom Joke Row Wip" repeatedly in my head to remember it.

To get sub-20 using ZZ, what should be the EOLine/F2l/LL splits?

 

[Hershey]

What does it mean to "roll" solves? People say that but I have no idea what they are talking about.

If you do an average of 12, then do a 13th solve, your average of 12 is now solves 2-13. The first solve was rolled.

q?

whats the difference between these timers? I thought there was only 1 type of cable output timer, but these look different.

official speedstacks competition timer (clicky)

ebay strange looking timer (clicky)

As you can see the second timer (lightake?) has a different looking cable jack, no recess where the port is, almost looks home-modded... thoughts?

According to a post on the Lightake thread, SpeedStacks has confirmed those on LighTake are knockoffs.

eoline probably 4 seconds
f2l 10 seconds
ll 6 seconds

sounds about right, but just my opinion
