My hands always get sweaty when I'm solving my 7x7. Do you know why because it can really effect my solves sometimes.

maybe because you get too stressed when solving a big cube... slow down and just look ahead maybe there's too many pieces to keep track of

How come i can't download CCT timer?

You have to extract it first

ummm for the 4x4, is there any way to avoid parity?? if so, can someone explain or something not just saying yes.....

It's very difficult to do in a speedsolve, but it involves counting the number of double layer/slice turns (or so I've heard)

I don't see how it would affect your solves

What do you mean extract it?

It makes my hands so slippery sometimes that the cube falls out of my hands.

Hmm...I would say just relax and have fun

What do you mean extract it? I'm not good with computer stuff.

 

[cubernya]

When you open it with winzip, at the top should be a button that says extract. If it's not "highlighted" click the CCT file and then click extract

 

[EricReese]

Use cage method. No more parity

You shouldn't assume he uses windows <_<

 

[cubernya]

He never specified, so naturally I did assumr he uses windows

In relation to my last post here, it needs total reassembly now and I have found out it's either an eastsheen or something identical to it

Well, first off, I dont mean to be a pain, but http://tinyurl.com/3ljne6t
Second, the general idea is to assemble them essentially layer by layer. Start with the bottom 4 centers, then add edges, then corners. then put the centers on each of the 4 next faces then add edges. Add centers to the last face, then corners, and then edges.

Does the "bubble" in the A-V core interfere with anchors?

 

[Pandadudex96]

Does the "bubble" in the A-V core interfere with anchors?

most likely because on the normal dayan core, the torpedoes only have a certain space on their course and doesn't have much room for anything else

im starting to practice 4x4 again, and am wondering what are some good methods maybe a step up from the beginners method.

Does anyone have the scramble for Michał Halczuk's 7x7 3:13.19 WR? (Over the course of a few weeks/ months of course ) I would love to attempt make a reconstruction, but I think having the scramble would help, since the video of it, is low quality-ish.

Thanks in advanced.

I presume by 'beginners method' you mean reduction, if so, this isn't a beginners method and feliks zemdegs uses it. There isn't any need to switch, but if you want to, you should try Yau method.

I'm just wondering if my PLLs are slow. Should I find new algorithms for ones that are sup-3 (or almost)? I think I want new F, E, and Ns. Suggestions?

That^'s an average of 12 PLL drill whatever I just did. Here's an average I did right now, too..

Are my PLLs slow?

What algs are you using for the V and N's?

 

[SkaterFly]

V - R' U R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R F
Nb - {(R' U L') U2 (R U' L)} {(R' U L') U2 (R U' L)} U'
Na - {(L U' R) U2 (L' U R')} {(L U' R) U2 (L' U R')} U

For the Ns, should I do a Z at first? Would that help?

 

[JyH]

V - R' U R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R F
Nb - {(R' U L') U2 (R U' L)} {(R' U L') U2 (R U' L)} U'
Na - {(L U' R) U2 (L' U R')} {(L U' R) U2 (L' U R')} U

For the Ns, should I do a Z at first? Would that help?

I would choose <RUD> over <RUL> (algorithms) any day.
