The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

Confused, but I was wondering about the pronounciation of people. Do most say Zee or Zed when they say the letter z.

Stickerless Dayan Question

I find it hard for me to tell apart white and yellow during a speed solve, so all my cubes have the yellow replaced with black.

Would there be any way to easily change the yellow to black on the stickerless Zhanchi/GuHong? Some sort of dye or paint without affecting the pieces?

Also, I really like the look of the stickerless cubes, and could I some how tint the plastic on my normal Zhanchi so the blue side has a slight hue of blue along with the bright blue stickers?

On Cube Depot you can get the Dayan stickerless cubes that have a black side.

Zed.

Would 1.15.00 be a good about average for 7 months of cubing?

Meh. After 7 months you should be around 35 - 45 seconds. How much did you practice? That's a big factor. Also, which method do you use?

That I think only Erno Rubik himself can answer it.

I heard somewhere it was somewhat corners firsty but iduno

How did Mr.Rubik actually solve the cube?

Supposedly:

Step 1: Four corners
Step 2: Insert three edges
Step 3: Solve LL corners
Step 4: Insert three edges in the LL corners
Step 5: Simultaneously solve the missing two edges for those two layers
Step 6: Permute M
Step 7: Orient M

Step 7: Orient M

That's actually a pretty simple method. That seems probable. I don't think I could Orient M while preserving everything else without help though.
Most of the rest can be done intuitively (CLL is easy with R' D' R D repetition/commutator type stuff)

In the US people say Zee, but everywhere else people say Zed. I think everyone understands that they are the same though, even if they are used to the opposite.

How do you do your m slices i mean you use ur middle or ring finger to do a mi from the back but how do you do a m slice.
it would be great if u answer and awesome if u post a short video/clip cause the way i do it , it is very awkward and slow

I hate seeing these types of posts. There is NO timeline for how quickly someone should improve. This will be different for everyone...

This is more or less how it goes.

What edge pairing method is typically used for big cubes and where can I learn it?

 

[Ickenicke]

Freeslice and AvG are the most popular ones.

Today I went to Brendan's youtube page and there are only 3 videos! What happened?
I have
downloaded
updated-pll video and my plls part one and my plls part2
So Breandan if you want those 3 videos I can up load them to mediafire! Or to my youtube channel with your permission. The videos were very helpful for me and I think also for meany other cubers!

Hi Guys,
My plan was to get sub 10 by the end of my first year of cubing (I think I on the 2nd of sep 2011) .
I had a long break (2-3 months) .
Do you think I can still make it? I have nearly all sommer to practice (I live in Germany) and I might practice up to 3 hours a day.
Thanks!

EDIT: After tomorrow school is as good as over...
