Where can I learn an efficient method for the Pyraminx that reduces the puzzle to only 3 edges to solve on the last layer? BY efficient I mean ~7 moves to the last step.

What is the best way to become color neutral? I am having quite some trouble switching from white-cross only, and I figure it is best to switch now, rather than years from now. Thanks in advance.

Start off by solving yellow cross. Opposite colors are the easiest to transition to. Once you get comfortable with that pick another color and once you're comfortable with that work it's opposite (green/blue OR red/orange) It's frustratingly mind boggling at first but if you force yourself to do lots of CN solves you should eventually get comfortable with it. Learn the color scheme and think about pieces in terms of 'opposites' and 'adjacents' and their relation to others rather than white corners pieces and their corresponding edges during F2L.

Nobody noticed that we hit 20,000 posts?
My Lunhui is getting is a lot of weird lock-ups. Is taking the torpedos out worth it?

Just a quick question, why almost everywhere people write ShengShou (4+2)x(4+2) instead of 6x6? It's some kind of cubing related joke?
I've heard that the lunghui pops a lot without the torpedoes, but you can always try.

Is there any physical storefronts for cubes in Beijing? If so where?

It works for me. Try again? Need someone to play against.... it's boring playing by yourself when there's no one to race against.

I consistently get very bad times (1:15+), And I don't know why. I practice a pretty good bit, work on learning new Algs other new things. I have a Ghost hand that turns pretty well. I am in the process of getting a Guhong, so I don't think the cube is or will be the problem.
Method:
I know intuitive F2l, watched badmephisto's videos on the subject.
2 look OLL
2 look PLL
I'm working on learning 3LL, but it will probably be a little while, i'm not that fast at learning algorithmic. Breakdown of my times:
10 seconds for cross (color neutral)
35 seconds for F2l
10 seconds for OLL
24 seconds for PLL
Any suggestions on what could be causing my times, what to learn next, how to practice, ect?

Practice, practice, practice. If your times are like this you can't be practicing that much.

I got a problem with my dayan+mf8 (mini) Sorry for my english!
When i unpacked it, middle layers were very tight. so i loosen a bit screws in 2x2 ball core. now it's great, but the external outer layers makes a very "dry sound", i feel a friction right there. I lube the 2x2 ball core and this black shallows.
