Why do I get the feeling that, if someone not so well-known had made this thread, it would've been OAQT'ed...

That thread should help you decide. Remember to look through the WHOLE thread.

Are the cubic 7x7s competition legal?

Are the cubic 7x7s competition legal?

Of course it is. The pillowed cube allowed is 7x7 but that is because there was no cubic alternatives.

I am now averaging around 25 seconds, and am wondering what I should do after improving my lookahead during f2l, speeding up my OLLs and PLLS, and learning all the PLLs and OLLs (I'm using 4 look last layer currently). I'm thinking of learning some of the easy cases for forcing OLL skips, and also learning other advanced f2l tricks like multislotting and X-Cross. What are the names of other advanced f2l tricks?

Bump (this is after 4 days)

On a QJ Pyraminx, would it be possible to file away in the center 'hole' on the face where the 3 edges and 3 centers meet, so it reverse corner cuts a little in a simular fashion to a Dayan? Just wondering...

And does anyone know of a program like VisualCube, but is easier to use?

Bump (5 days).

How often do people usually need to tighten their cubes? I have a ZhanChi, and I feel like I constantly need to tighten it... Like every week, and I don't use it that much.


edit:

I loosen mine a little each month or so- to help me improve my turn accuracy.

Why do you feel the need to constantly tighten it?

It's really hard to control. I know I haven't been cubing for that long, but if find it easier to control right aften I tighten it. Feels like I could take it apart. I've been using an F-II from december to january, and I've had my DaYan since then. Before that, I cubed with a Rubik's brand for about two months, so I first got used to something really tight. But still, I've been using this one for 2 months and I still can't get used to it being so loose!

I just got a Pyraminx and I'm wondering what method I should solve it with. I know nothing about pyraminx, so what are the most commonly used methods? I would like to get sub 5.

Wait, do you mean $10<(over 10 dollars) or $10>(under 10 dollars)?

[rubiksarlen]

Can any of you still access cubehaiyan.com? I would like to purchase some cubes from there but it says the website is forbidden from my country (??).
