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

You legend! When I look at the state of the cube after the original alg, it's almost obvious. Thanks dude!

Debatable.

How so?

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?

Ok, so I realized that the opposite center won't unscrew either. I don't know if that changes anything, just thought I'd throw that out there as well.

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

That really makes me wonder what Felix could get with roux if he practiced it like CFOP.

Yes, it is.

All Feliks does, when he does Roux, is F2L - 2 cross pieces. He does do Roux sometimes.

I need to buy replacement stickers on cubesmith.com for my 2x2s.
When I went on there I saw 3 different types of 2x2 stickers("2x2x2 Eastsheen ", "2x2x2 Rubik's ", "2x2x2 Harry Potter ".)
So, which is the one to get for lanlan 2x2 and v-cube 2x2(cubic)?

 

[RyanReese09]

How should the 6x6x6 centers be done? Columns? Blocks?

2x2 Rubiks are the Rubiks sized.

2x2 Eastsheen works on Eastsheen, Lanlan, Ghosthand, Shengshou, Diansheng, QJ, YJ, V-Cube, Maru Etc.

I'm learning CLL and having problems with fast Sune recognition (the S and -S cases). I've learnt U,T,H,Pi and found recognition much easier. Can someone describe the though process in recognising them quickly. Currently I rotate the cube or U layer to orient the U face (I can't recognise from all angles yet). I then look at the U case and look for opposite colours (r-o or b-g). From their position I narrow it down to 2 algs and then look at another pair on the side and U face and see if they're the same colour or not. The problem is that recognising a pair of opposite colours on the U-face seems a lot slower for me than recognising same colours. Anyone got any tips?

Where can I find a 2x2x3 and a 2x2x4?
So far I've bought most of my cubes at lightake but they do not have those in stock.

Personally, I think it should be done intuitively, and by experimentation to find a fast way for you to solve it.

You can get a 2x2x4 at Cube4You.

I do it with columns approximately 98.3% of the time.

is there a good algorithm to solve a case where the FL edge is in the RF position and the corner is in the top layer with white on top (white is the cross color). The back two slots are solved and the front two are not solved. I usually would put the corner above its slot (UFL) then do RUR' y RU2R'URU'R' but thats slow. (doing RUR' y RU2R'URU'R' puts the cube in the mirror.)

Bump:

Are there any reviews on the shengshou 5x5 yet?

Are you talking about this case?


Setup : L' U L U2 F R' F' R U'

I might use (U) (R' F R F') U2 L' U' L (9)

I normally do (U R U' R')2 (U2 + y') (R U' R') (12)

Can I get a link to the 15 puzzle simulator? I cant find it.
