This might seem like a dumb question but, if you lived in America and then went to a comp in Europe and got what would be the OcR there, would it count or do you have to set it in your own country?

Yes, it would count.

What's the website used to mirror algs?

Check this and you no longer need the "algorithm translator"

Thank you.

This is my recent average of 12. I usually take a lot time in solving f2l (approximately 30 seconds). I know f2l intuitive and 2look oll and 2look pll. I'm trying to learn to learn f2l algorithms but I just don't know how to learn all 42 cases. I want to get sub 30. How should I approach and improve. Any suggestions?

Kinda, what you'd be aiming for would be the NAR though, as OcR is for those in and around Australia.

does florian's ss 5x5 mod work on a v-cube 5?
thanks!

What happened to that thread about the C4 test cubes, I pressume it was deleted, but does anyone know the details?

I am going to my first competition in 2 months, do we have to bring our own stack mat?

Short answer: No

Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

No, you don't. All that stuff is provided by the delegate. And who's stopping you messing with your stackmat, so it's slower and therefore gives faster times?

Short answer: No

Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooooooooo

I really laughed at that.

does anyone know why alpha cubes dont have smooth pieces but instead they have blocky pieces? they turn smoother with smoother pieces. and why dont dayan cubes have the edge pieces smooth like with the 48 point edge mod?

I recently bought a LanLan 2x2x2, and it occasionally gets the springs caught in the core, causing it to be immovable. Does anyone else have this problem, and/or know how to resolve it?

It works, but I might make it a lot looser, and the V5 is not adjustable, so I don't recommend it.

Never had that problem before but you could try flipping the spring and putting some lube where the spring would touch the core. Are you sure it's the springs and not an internal pop?



My question: What's a good way of carrying a cube on you other than pocket and cube holster if you only wear a t shirt and shorts (and some stuff under that obviously)?

There isn't really a better way. If you wear cargo shorts it is nice to keep them in your low pockets that are closest to your knees.

You could just carry it in your hand.

Is there a fastest edge pairing for Yau or can I solve last 8 egdes in any way I want to without any difference?

I am using 32223 and it is very good and easy to learn.

Just tried it out and it is really better than my 363 style before. After thinking about it I believe I won't get those time wasting nasty cases on edge pairing.
Thank you

what makes mass produced puzzles cheaper? the plastic either way costs the same amount.

 

[tasguitar7]

I got a V3 but not the DIY, it appears to have center caps but I can't seem to remove them, is it not adjustable?
