Does anyone know of any chinese cubing forums?

I thought he meant skipping the reduction, not the 3x3 stage.

:fp I cannot read.

In what order should I memorize Fridrich algorithms?

I am very excited to start learning Fridrich but it looks so daunting. I wanted to know from experienced speedcubers on how to efficiently memorize the algorithms.

Do them slowly before you go do bed it will help you to glue them into your long term memory. As far as where to start Pick up 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL and do a search for some F2L help.

以下几种魔方哪个是中国人发明的？(Square 1、Rubik's cube、Crazy 4x4、Megaminx、Skewb Cube)

I've tried just about every answer under the sun. I even tried 没有 (which basically means none.... yes, I did try the English word "none" too.) It keeps saying 验证问答回答错误，无法提交，请返回修改。(Which, for those of you who don't read Chinese, basically means my answer is wrong, and that they'd like me to fix it.)

Need answer ASAP. Still looking for a place in Beijing to stay.

Pretty sure the answer is a Crazy 4x4...

Yeah, tried that like a million times.... phailed.

EDIT: Maybe when I get to China, I can find someone to answer it for me? I'll have a place to stay for, like, the first week or so, but after that, I'm on my own for about a month.

EDIT2: Never mind, problem fixed. Refreshed the page and got a new question that actually worked! Thanks for the help anyway!

I average about 17-18 seconds with ZZ (EO+Line, F2L, OCLL, PLL), but almost half of my solve is EO+Line. How should I practice it? It takes me about 10-13 moves.

I'm assuming you use ZZ? You could try making the line while doing EO, although you might already do that. Try to memorize most, if not all, of EO during inspection, and work on executing it faster.

Is it version 2 or simple lingyun?

I think it's a v2, cause I can see the torpedoes in the picture.

Does anyone know how to turn three layers at once on jflysim+qqtimer on the 6x6x6?

Why did this thread get moved to how-to's, guides, etc.?

I'd like to know this too. I'm certain it got moved to the hardware section as well a while back.

It's asking you which one of those puzzles was invented by a chinese person. Is it really none? I guess you could try 一个都不是 if you didn't already solve that problem. It's so annoying for me with my bad reading skills, might just sign up so I can practice my chinese.

The wiki links this as the corners first method for pyraminx. However the description of said method on the wiki and what he's doing don't seem to match up.

Is this in fact the corners first method? Is corners first a good pyraminx method? if this method is something other than the corners first method, a) what is it? b) is it a good method? What method do you recommend for pyraminx?

Not sure what the method is called, but it's definitely not the "Corner First" method on the wiki. In fact I have no idea why the wiki calls it Corner First, it's actually just Keyhole, which is what I would recommend learning. I got down to about 5/6 with just this and nothing else.

Best keyhole tutorial I've seen is Erik's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_CvrT5NFWY

Use the simple 5 alg LL method for solving pyraminx. You can get good times with it because I have gotten sub 6 averages with it.

I would also suggest you experiment with intuitive Polish V.

All the algs for the two methods can be found here at http://www.mzrg.com/rubik/solving/pyraminx/index.html.

For 3-2-2-2-3 edge pairing on the 4x4, I get this case, in which, when I do the Uw, I'm able to make the first 2 edges by inserting pieces, etc. But then on the third edge, I find that its corresponding piece is on the E layer, and it is with a piece that is about to slice back to make one of the 3 pairs. What do you do in this situation? Sorry if that's hard to understand.

Bump, I really still don't understand this. Thanks.
