Does the QJ Timer (Newest edition [http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.QJ_Competition_Speed_Timer_White__New_Edition_-36999]) fit onto a speedstack mat just like a speedstack timer does?

No.

Okay - I'm a very new speedcuber. Average around 60 seconds. I solve F2L by a beginner's method - Insert 3 corners, insert the edges using the un-inserted corner as a working corner, then insert the last corner with an algorithm. I used to take about 40 seconds for cross + f2l by this method.

I'm planning to switch this F2L method to the fridrich edge/corner pair insertion or ZZ method. My question - which? I know the basics of solving by both these methods now but can't decide which is faster. I need some help.. what do you all say?

just got the ayi 4x4x5. the misalignment is really making it difficult to enjoy, wondering if anyone had a similar experience/knew what to do about it. thanks

edit - while posting i was trying to use it and layer popped. this is what it looked like inside. maybe i just got stuck with a bad one?

would a be able to use my colored dayan guhong center peices with normal stickerd guhong peces in a comp?

Yes.

 

[Raiz]

Yes.

what about the center caps?

 

[Jaycee]

Since the reason colored cubes are banned is because you can see the color of a certain corner without having to see that face, colored center caps will be fine.

what does AUF mean? can you explain it please?

 

[BadMeetsEvil]

Well both seem fine - I'm learning both anyway as of now.

 

[Riley]

what does AUF mean? can you explain it please?

It stands for adjust U face. The most clear example is probably/usually after PLL, as in turning the U face x amount to get to a solved position.

Adjust Up Face

any good tutorials for AUF? I wanna learn it as I think it'd take off some time with my PLLs

It just means you do a U/U'/U2 move to recognise PLL, then do the alg. Instead of rotating.

at the end of the PLL how do you know where the cube rotates to finish it off?
