The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

Hi everyone,
I recently received SS 4x4 VIII. Lubed it, tensioned a bit.
It's the best 4x4, it's perfect, bla bla bla...
BUT when executing PLL parity(r2 move), it locks-up about 50% of all times.
So I have to do PLL parity carefully, so it takes up to 2-4 secs.
Is there any method or maybe mod to reduce these lock-ups?

Solve it, lots. Best advice I can give. After about 45ish solves I started getting a better feel for it and getting better control of my turns to prevent lock ups. A combo of me learning to control it, and it getting broken in has helped a ton in reducing the lock-ups.

If you find in unbearable there's always the Mini Dayan+Mf8 (that will hopefully be out in white soon *fingers crossed*) that is supposed to be really good as well.

is it a pb if i get the scramble off someone else and it is a real scramble. or does it have to be from my own timer.

 

[5BLD]

It is, if it's a real scramble.

 

[chrissyD]

and you don't know the solution

Well, if he posted it because it was easy, or special, or whatever, then I wouldn't count it.

 

[Godmil]

I'd count it if it was posted in like a competition thread, not if it was posted as an Easy scramble or as part of someone elses accomplishments.

Is this alg any good? I was fiddling around with my cube and found it, then added it to the wiki.

r U r' U2 r U r' U2 r U' r'

(edge insert alg)

Seems pretty fast, but I would rather do (U) R U' R' F R' F' R

Wide niklas pwns all edge insertion algs.

Not really a question, but I just realized that Dan Cohen has the 4x4 WR average...

On Cube Explorer 5.00, can I enter a pattern on the cube and tell the program to solve the cube in exactly 25 moves? If so, how?

He just got it last week.

I don't know why you posted it here though .

Where else would he post it? (even though his wasn't really a question) I suppose he could have done it on the Random Cubing Discussion Thread

Really? Wow, I didn't see that coming. Well done Dan.

I would buy from you guys if you had paypal... I like your store a lot though; big range, great prices, just no paypal

What's the best 3x3 you can use for OH?

Some people say Lingyun v1 is ownage.

Size doesnt matter

Why after lubing the diansheng cube with diff oil (similar to lubix) it feels not as smooth, its very accurate but its slightly harder to turn, and locks up a bit more. On my zhanchi the lube works great. (the dianshengs are for my students [LOL], teaching some children to cube), planning to buy like 4

 

[unirox13]

Chances are you used too much. Disassemble it and wipe the excess lube off with a clean cloth, reassemble and then do a few solves on it to help distribute the lube.
