The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

Can anyone verify that is Shengshou 5x5 is the legit one that everyone has been talking about and is of good quality:

http://www.amazon.com/ShengShou-5x5...=1341378556&sr=8-4&keywords=5x5x5+rubiks+cube

And would a cube like this come lubed?

Looks like it to me. Speedcubing store is a legit seller and all the puzzles I've ordered from them (7 puzzles total) all came pre lubed but its just some ok factory lube.

Nb perm finger tricks

Does anyone have a good video or explanation for the finger-tricks/grips for this Nb Perm?

(z) U' R D' R2' U R' (U' D) R D' R2 U R' D R (z')

I can do the mirror Na without (major) re-grips, but am having a mess of a time figuring this one out.

Thanks.

Would you think it would be ok to get? Do you think it would be the same quality as if it came from a cubing store?

Yeah definitely! It should be the same quality.

what times can I expect leaning ortega method for the 2x2?

Around sub 5 sec.

 

[Ninja Storm]

Around sub 5 sec.

Look at his sig. There's no way he could get sub-5 with barely being sub-30(no offense).

It'd be more realistic for you to start averaging around 12, but with good practice you could be sub-10 or sub-8 relatively quickly.

He's talking about 2x2 not 3x3.

Same as the 4x4 and void cube without a fliped edge

I dont know ...

Ninja Storm is well aware of that. If you average above 30 seconds on 3x3, you shouldn't expect to average sub-5 at 2x2.

thats not all ways true

That's not true at all, you can't flip one single edge. Its 2 adjacent edges for Square-1 parity.

 

[Cheese11]

It when the UF edge and the UR edges are swapped.

 

[KingTim96]

can you give an example?

Thank you both.

thats not all ways true

Seriously? Please show me one person who's around sub-30 on 3x3 and sub-5 on 2x2.
