The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[uniacto]

I like to bring all my cubes (2x2, 3x3, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, mirror cube) around with me to school in my backpack. I usually just stuff them in a separate pocket. However, the stickers are starting to peel slightly due to other stuff in my backpack. I'd like to stop it before it gets worse.
What would be good (cheap) ways to store my cubes? Bags, etc?

try these, but I usually keep them in the boxes they came in.

I got my shengshou pyraminx. The inner layers are fine but the tips are not great. Some of the tips click too much and some of them don't click at all. It is also stiff. What should I do to make the tips click even and make it smoother.

Lube the core.

Treasure cube lubing question

Hello all, I was wondering how should I lube a treasure cube by Oskar with shock oil. I watched Crazybadcuber's review of it, and should I lube it the same way, even though I'm using shock oil? Thanks

 

[bgdgyfer]

Ya, I think you should lube it the same way, if you want it to be better. Memyselfandpi did it the same way too and, his turned out good.

My cross + F2L take between 28 - 33 seconds and I'm wondering if I should continue trying to learn how to pre-plan the cross? Would it help my times significantly?

Another thing, I tried solving the cross with my eyes closed and I did but when tried doing it with my eyes open, I'm used to looking for the edges instead of using what I planned while inspecting, if anyone can understand what I mean by that.

For example, let's say I've successfully solved the cross with my eyes closed. I solve the cube and then use the same scramble and try doing it with my eyes open. When I do it though, I don't try looking ahead, instead, I'm still tracking the edges as if I didn't plan it out at all.

Do this...

When I do it though, I don't try looking ahead, instead, I'm still tracking the edges as if I didn't plan it out at all.

...and stop doing this.

 

[Sphearow]

I'm asking if you have tips to help me stop doing it, it's a really bad habit for me...

Turn slower, and just look for pieces, ignore the current ones you're solving. Important thing is to not stop turning, turn however slow you need to track pieces, but don't pause.

2x2 - WitTwo (V2?)
3x3 - Zhanchi (55mm if you have small hands)

And if you're from India, try the SCMU store (I think it's SCMU).

The center caps on my 42mm ZhanChi really pops out every time and when I do cornercuts it just pops out easily, tried puting paper but, it still pops (although it doesn't pop too much now). Any tips? I don't want to superglue it because I might remove the cap in the future.

Maybe, I saw that when I try to corner cut or something. The screw pushes the cap out. I'll try tightening it. How didn't I think of that O_O Thanks

what is the use of silicone sealant.......will it make my cube move faster......?
or silicone sealant is not for lubricating the cube...?

A sealant is similar to glue. That would definitely not work for lubricant.

Sealants seal things together. So... If you want your cube to be novelty only, go for it. If you want to be able to actually use your cube, don't use it.

Just don't use it.
