Squirt a few sprays of silicone in the top hole. (Where all the top layer connects)

Would the same apply for Maru?

There's a Maru square-1...never knew that

No, haha, I meant Maru lube.

 

[cubernya]

Yeah I was going to ask you where you saw it

No.

Other than just spray some loob in.

If you want, you can orientate all the U layer edges relatively easily, with one cross edge flipped.. If there is just one U edge orientated, put it on L and do M' U2 M U' M' U M. If there is just one misorientated, put it on L and do M' U' M U M' U M U2 M' U' M.

Thanks. Is it easy to orient the U layer edges when the cross edge is somewhere on the last layer too?

1) Is this D39?
2) If it is, is it worth buying (compared to diff. oil)

 

[Godmil]

That is D39. Its a little different to diff oil, jury is still out which is better but you 'could' preffer it so it may be worth having a go.

Noobish question that I'm sure is answered somewhere obvious...how do you take the torpedoes out of the Zhan Chi?

 

[cuberkid10]

Split the edge in half

What's the standard size for a regular Rubik's magic? And what's the best brand, cube-twist, Lingao, ghost hand or rubik?

I don't know what the dimensions are for a magic, but it is an 8-tiled puzzle. As for brands, I believe (but I'm not sure) that most magics perform pretty much in the same way once broken in.

Too much work to do 12 times...thanks though! ;D

Typical answer =P.Do you know which one is the most durable, then?.

How can you improve TPS?

I don't. I don't know much about Magics...

How can you improve TPS?

Practice. Practice doing triggers like R U R' U' and R' F R F'.

Rubik's is really thick and bulky, and overall isn't very good. The other are all good, but I think LingAo is definitely the best. The strings are a little stretchy, so its smoother and less locky. plus it looks the coolest with the black background

Each tile is the same size as a mf8 Legend, a little bigger than a LanLan 2x2. CubeTwist is a good (and popular) brand. Many like the Lingao, too. From my experience, there isn't that much difference between magics when they are broken in.
