Where can I buy a 2nd gen stackmat timer (or some sort of timer that can connect to a computer)? From what I understand, they're only making the 3rd gen now, and even if I bought the "pro" one with the data ports, I don't know if it would be compatible with any timers.

I think it's a f2 but I won't know unless you could show me a piece.

I'm pretty sure it is, because the box is the same.

When you do the quotes, how do you make the "originally posted by ____ "there?

Maybe it takes me around 20-25 seconds.

Start doing 15 sec inspection (or less) so it will be easier if you go to a competition to not go over the inspection time and get a +2 or something. I limited myself to 3-5 sec inspection so that I get used to the pressure and won't ever start late.

So I pretty much exclusively practice 4x4x4, and 2 weeks ago I was trying to get from 1:25 to sub-1:20. I just did an average of 12 and I was about 1:40. I haven't changed my method or anything, it just kinda "feels" like I'm getting less good cases with edge pairing, but it's far too large a sample size on each end for that to be the case.

Has this happened to anyone else, or know a way to get around it?

How many well known cubers use different methods 3x3 2H Speed and OH?

I want to know how many are like me.

I will be using Petrus as my OH method. I use CFOP for 2H.

 

[Phlippieskezer]

I know of a few, though none well-known.

Most of them are CFOP for 2H and ZZ for OH, though.

 

[Rpotts]

Any good rotationless algs for this case?

I saw F' U2 F2 (R' F' R) on the wiki page but don't see what finger tricks to use to do it quickly.

I also like M' U R U2 R' U' R U r'

I used to also use different methods, Petrus OH Roux 2H. Then I discovered that I was faster at Roux OH.

What's the simplest BLD 2x2x2 method? I've seen a few, and I get completely lost. I already know how to solve a 2x2, 3x3, and a 4x4. I know F2L, 2 look OLL, and almost all the PLL cases. Knowing this, what would be the simplest method for me? Thanks.

got the pic of the pieces f1 or f2

Learn Old Pochman. You only need to use the Y perm without R at the start and R' at the end.

That's the best tutorial I've seen for it on Youtube.

Is it possible to do L2 and R2 turns without regrips?

Is the shenshou 4x4 III known to misalign, like the maru?

Mine never does, it has a anti-misalignment mechanism.
