Where can I make 3D 3x3 pictures? So I can show what cases look like.

When is the mf8+Dayan 6x6 going to be released?

I just had 2 PLL Skips in a row. Is that insane? The odds of this are 1/484 right?

The probability of getting 2 PLL skips in 2 solves is 1/5184. But the probability of getting 2 PLL skips in a row somewhere in your session depends on how many cubes you did.

May someone direct me to a video that shows the algs for getting the square-1's layers square.

How do those of you with a buttload of cubes transport them to competitions? I can't think of a somewhat organized way to do so...

Bags work well.

there are no algs, that is an intuitive step

where can i get a Dayan GuHong 3x3 without crazy shipping prices?

Puzzle Addictions, Lightake?

 

[sa11297]

what is the usually considered the fastest method for square 1? and what is the method called where you make it a square then orient the corners than the edges than permute the corner then the edges then solve parity?

anyone know?

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Vanderberg (spelling?) for both questions

Where can I get a ZhanChi?

lightake pre order







Is it good if I change SS 4x4 springs.
if good what type of springs it can be?

lol yes there are if you want them (list starts about halfway down the page)

I've had 3 PLL skips in a row. What are the chances of that?
For the second and third PLL skip, they had the same OLL, although I'm not sure about AUF for any of them. Could you calculate the chances for 3 PLL skips in a row, or the chances for 3 PLL skips in a row getting the same OLL twice in a row?

PLL skip chance: 1/21
same OLL on 2 solves: 1/(57^2)
total probability: 1/30,088,989
you sir, are incredibly lucky

Read the second half of his post saying "the probability ... depends on how many cubes you did"
The probability of sitting down with the cube, doing just 3 solves, and having those 3 solves be PLL skips is A LOT less than the probability of doing an average of 100 and having 3 in a row be PLL skips, which in turn is A LOT less than the probability of getting 3 PLL skips in a row at some point during the thousands and thousands of solves you've done in your lifetime.

Hahaha no.

Can you solve a square-1 sub 20 with the screw method?
