The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[tozies24]

Why is this, I did an average of 20. I found that like 1/3 of my solves (7) I got V perms, this is rly weird, it it the way I solve it or just luck? my f2l is intuitive.

It is just dumb luck. Some times you do 50 solves and some pll's come up every couple solves while some never come up. Then other practice sessions its the other way around. For me I sometimes will have G perms every single dang solve for like 5 straight which actually isn't that unlucky but still. It is just luck. Just like a pll skip if you count that as the 22nd case.

why dont more people use cll/ell with edge control?

It's called VH, and it sucks.

 

[Speedmaster]

Here's a example:
Oll 1 s
pll 1s
and now with cll
edge control 1s
coll 1s
ell 1s
it's not true, but i wouldn't make edge control, because it's better to learn every pll sub 1 instead of using edge control, i would only slot the pair the way, that i don't get a point case

did you ss 5 come with prelubed? mine had this oily feel on the stickers when i got it

Yes, I just cleaned up a bit the internal pieces and sprayed silicone lube on them, feels nice to me like this..

As I've seen, the wall cube and the burr cube only differ in the orientation of the centers in top, but, does it also involves rotation of the centers in D?

What is the best 6x6 out there. Theirs the yj Vcube and the latest Shengshou. Or should I get a vcube and mod it. I want the most less pricey one.

Wat.

Get a vcube and mod it.

Or if you're cheap and can live with a worse cube, get SS.

What are Feliks' at home records for 2x2 through 7x7?

I'd guess at about..:

2x2: 0
3x3: 4.5
4x4: 24
5x5: 48
6x6: 1:45
7x7: 3:20

Last time I heard from Feliks he said his at home 6x6 PB was 1:58. Yes, the 1:56 WR was set at this time. xD

One you can't see through

One you can't see through

So what does that mean exactly? a t-shirt that is pitch black that you wrap around your head?

Depends what kind of material, you could layer it by folding it in 2 then wrap it, and ive never been to a competition but i would think they have an official try out your blindfold before beginning a solve

Is there a page here on Speedsolving that introduces someone to FMC?

One of lubix's mods with there Wittwo is to attach one of the corners to the core. What exactly is this supposed to do? Like what is the advantage of that?

That's not a mod. All Wittwo's are like that. It's an anti-misalignment mech that's also in the Dayan 4x4's.

What was the name of the guy who made those stupid "WR" videos where he would just hit the cube and have it solved? And one video he had a Pyraminx on a glass table, and hit it with his fist right on the tip, and yelled in pain.

you should do an bundle that is just guhong and zhanchi, I will buy it

The question is, will other people buy it as well. If there isn't a large amount of people that would buy the bundle, stores won't make t e option.
