The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

[Kyooberist]

I have tried to put pictures on one of my posts, but when I click upload pictures, it say "404 [Bubble=false]. Or something similar. There are red exclamation marks next to the selected pictures. Has anybody else had this problem?

Traxxas Nozzle?

So my bottle of traxxas lube has a nozzle for easy insertion, but I think that if I cut a hole, the hole would be too big. how do I make a hole in the nozzle so i can use it like a lubix syringe, in a way? please dont tell me to get myself another syringe no matter how cheap it is.

Use a pin?

 

[Muesli]

Use a scalpel to take top off. Simples.

Failing that, use a sharp knife.

 

[danielwithabat]

I would, but I heard that using a pin will cause a hole that is too small and id have to squeeze extra hard to get the lube out.

 

[bluecloe45]

Then use the pin, stick the pin back in and move it around making the hole bigger. Double Entendre

 

[danielwithabat]

LOOOL. Thankss. I see what you did tharrr. ;D

what i did was use scissors.
i didn't know just how deep the plastic went, so i kept cutting off the top until the hole was revealed. it's weird to use scissors, but i didn't have anything else.

I have two questions which may be a tad stupid, but anyway...
When talking about PLL algs, should I avoid algs that require whole cube turns like y'z'? With this I mean that during F2L regripping takes time, so I thought it may be the same case with PLL and possibly OLL, too.
How long does it take to be faster with full PLL compared to 2-look PLL? When you learn the algs and use them, then you will be slower in the beginning and this probably goes for learning F2L and OLL. With F2L I reached my previous times fairly quickly (for me), in 2 weeks. I wonder if PLL has a big influence on the times.

I give +2 internets to anyone who could answer my questions!

You've answered your own question. When is F2L regripping bad? When it is less efficient than to do something else. So only rotate in algs if the benefit given by the rotation outweighs all other alternatives.

It takes very little time, but solely depends on how determined you are to practise.

Thank you very much I'll take that.

As a general rule, avoid rotations. However, some cases (like G perms), the best algs have rotations, so there are exceptions.

It all depends on the speed you execute your algs. If you can execute an alg faster than you could do in 2 look, you will get faster. And you get slightly faster averages for every alg you learn if that is the case. I don't know full PLL (15/21, no N or G perms), but I am still reasonably fast.

What are internets?

My shengshou 6x6 was terrible out the box, so i lubed it and now it's far far worse. It's ridiculously loose so that even on the tightest possible tension when it barely turns at all a slight misalignment causes it to explode. Is there anything i can do to improve it?

And no I'm not getting a v-cube

Try the floriance mod and change the springs.

What method/s is Odder using here for these walkthrough solves? ( I know nothing about pyraminx ... )

uhh, I'm not so sure Florian's mod works that well on SS6. Plus, his cube is already exploding, so doing Florian's mod would make it more prone to popping.

As for an answer to the original question, sorry, no ideas here. My SS6 was fine out of the box and it only pops if I go crazy on it.

How often do you have to put the corners back together on the WitTwo V1? On mine after some solve the corners split apart as it get slammed on the sable when I stop the timer.

Never. Super glue. Just be careful

Which OLL algorithms to use?

When i learned my PLL algorithms, i quickly noticed that people used different algorithms, so i assumed that feliks's was the best.
I am going to learn OLL now and i am not sure which algorithms i should use.
I need your help!

Don't do do this. Don't rely on other people to choose the best algorithms for you. Go to places like the Wiki, try different algs and see which one suits you best.

Quick question. (Just to note, i have checked the forums, i have done everything i can, so i am just going to ask)

51morefun, i know a while back people had problems with the shipping and such for various reasons, i also know that peoples opinions had changed on the store and that it was now a quite respected store. My question is, what do people believe the shipping time is on a medium sized order. I have ordered about 15 puzzles for Christmas (Ordered on 28th October). I was expecting then about a week ago. I have mailed the owner/who ever handles that stuff twice now but still have no reply. Is anyone else having problems now/recently? What is your opinion? Will i ever receive my order?
