The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[Phlippieskezer]

The Lan Lan 2x2 is okay, though the V2 is better, and the Shengshou 4x4 and 5x5 are extremely good (haven't tried the 4x4, but from what I hear it's good).

I personally prefer the YJ 2nd gen 5x5 over the Shengshou, but plenty disagree. I say go for it (the Shengshou, that is).

What is a good E perm algorithm for one handed?

Why does my Dayan Guhong suck more than my friends Alpha 2 cube..
I can barely corner cut with it, slow turning. When it was out of the box it was so loose and fast.. now its garbage..

WHY?????????????

Most likely because the lubix dried off, or the inside is just full of dust and hair and stuff.
Take it apart, make sure all the edges are tightly shut, and the corners, since with Dayan cubes pieces are made from 2/3parts.
And relube it.

Is there any way these N Perms can be done without a regrip?
N (a): L U' R U2 L' U R' L U' R U2 L' U R' U

N (b): R' U L' U2 R U' L R' U L' U2 R U' L U'

I've done that before twice using lubix o-o It works really good for 1 day then it gets really bad. I probably put too much in or something. Can I wash it??

I think you can, but it'll probably harm the stickers.
If you do decide to wash it, let it fully dry before you put it back together.
(Don't blame meh if washing puts harm on it tho )

To be honest and blunt: He's probably taking better care of it than you are with your cube. Basically, clean it out, and relube it once it's dry. Also, tension it just right.

what all this black dust stuff? my screws are silver and my cube is white

used jig a loo btw

Kinda, If you do a z rotation (so your U face becomes R) then these algs work nicely with R,U,D turns. You have to regrip the R face a couple of times but the coincide with your left hand doing other turns at the time (like U' and D).

Is it hard to resting a Master Magic.
I've never do it, even with a Magic.
And do you must have patience?
And can you do it also with the old string?

After awhile the lube creates dust and residue. It's mostly notable on white cubes, but it's normal for every cube. The best thing to do is to just clean and relube your cube once in awhile.

Yes. It does take patience. Pcwiz a has a tutorial on how to do it.

Thanks but I mean Master Magic.
I had for the first time a Master Magic from iCubeMart and I would solve it and I used this tutorial.
http://www.youtube.com/user/MrRubikZz?feature=mhee#p/f/0/btTKBBAzHI0
But i cant make the turn at 0:34, I did it and I can solve it but when I would do it back there is know a string (or how you call it) out of the cube.
But still I can solve it.
Can you use it than also on compititions.

Why is it that on a megaminx only 1/2 of edge orientations and 1/3 of corner orientations are possible?

 

[unirox13]

I noticed today that my C4Y 3x3x5 is actually a really good cube. The corner cutting is only slightly worse than my Lunhui (main). Are the C4Y 3x3's of similar high quality to the 3x3x5?

You can use it in competition if just one string is out (assuming it was double strung to start with).
Master magics are strung the same way as magics, but I think you start with D instead of C.

in roux method, for the F4 case, I got an alg:
U²
B’[RUR’]
B (RU’)
BR’

and I couldn't figure out a way to go into the 2nd B turn without regripping, can anyone help me with this?

I find this is a really fast alg until that 2nd B turn

 

[uberCuber]

Why is it that on a megaminx only 1/2 of edge orientations and 1/3 of corner orientations are possible?

For the same reason that's true on a 3x3. You can't flip a single edge, and you can't twist a single corner.

Is there an efficient way to tell if a rubik's cube state is 2-gen?
