I don't think so, unless on its way down a face gets turned more than 45°

Any reviews on the sheng shou 5x5 yet?

Hmmm... At Marietta Open 2010, if the cube hit the timer, it wad a +2. Where is Andrew getting these rules? I looked in the regulations, and found nothing on the subject.

 

[TiLiMayor]

Maybe he got confused about magic rules, because if it rests on the timer there is a +2, or he said so just to take care of the timers.

Any review on the sheng shou 5x5?

Really?!

Does that mean ill be around 16 seconds if i learn FullPLL?
I use 4LookLL and average 21ish

I know this is a really old post but
WTF!!
thats insane
4ll and you still avg 21

how fast is your f2l!!

I heard the blue a1 is rare. Is it true?

Heyas,

I like the following algorithm for an "OLL parity fix" on the 4x4.
Rw' U'2 Rw U2 Rw' F2 Rw2 U'2 Rw U2 Rw' U'2 y' x' R2 Uw'2 R'2
It's dead easy to memo and fast to execute.

However, if you do this on a 5x5, it messes up 3 edges

Could someone please give me the "version" of this algorithm for a 5x5? (which would be used to help construct the final 2 tredges)? I'm guessing that some of those U/Fs need to be wide, or some of those Rs need to move 3 slices.

Thanks.

Actually only 2 M-slice moves are needed.
Underlined sections are different
Rw' U2 Rw U2 Rw' F2 Rw2 M' U'2 Rw U2 Rw' U2 y' x' R2 Uw2 R2 x y M

I'm trying to take the center pieces off of my guhong, but one of the screws won't come out of the core. It's like I can unscrew it most of the way, but after that, when I try to unscrew it any more, the screw doesn't come out any more and it won't come out of the core. Any suggestions?

Anyone? My fingers are starting to hurt from using the really crappy cube that I have as my backup, and I really want to get this guhong working again.

As for difficulty, how would you sort the following cubes:
2x2x3, 2x3x3, 2x2x4, 3x3x4, 3x3x5

bump

thats a cuboid rather

2x2x3, 2x2x4, 2x3x3, 3x3x4, 3x3x5

It's not a +2.

I've got a really quick question (thankfully, I didn't make a whole thread about it). What is the online cube thing where it gives you a scramble, and then it gives you an optimal cross solution? I used it once before, but forgot to bookmark it, and I just can't remember the name of it. I'm pretty sure it had solutions for other things, like EO line, 2x2 blocks, and that sort of stuff. I really wanna use it again, since my cross sucks, but like I said, I can't remember the name of it.

Is the BH method the fastest BLD method for corners?

Yep, looks like it. Thanks a lot, just bookmarked it so I don't forget again.

Commutators are the fastest execution method for corners, yes.

 

[uberCuber]

Is the BH method the fastest BLD method for corners?

Is the Fridrich/CFOP method the fastest speedsolving method for 3x3?

 

[Xishem]

Commutators are the fastest execution method for corners, yes.

Debatable.

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

Debatable.

Then continue to debate. I want to see what your case is.

::EDIT:: Actually, lets move it to the random BLD cubing discussion. I still want to see what makes you think it's not the fastest, though.
