hey...
can anyone tell me that how to make center dot pattern on 3x3 and 4x4 for my cube collection..?

You mean these?

M E2 M' E2
M E M' E'

​

Im guessing the most of the sub-10 solvers on the WCA page for 3x3

I am almost done memorizing, and I'm officially 11.95 average...

Yup thanks...!..

Anyone got a Y-perm from this angle?


I'm using (z) U' R' U2 R' D R2 U' R U R2 U' D' R U' R U (z') but is there anything better?

Preferably <L, U, R, F> gen as I suck at B and D moves

Is there anything interesting which i can do with my 3x3 ... ( i ve already tried patterns and country flags intuitively)..anything else can i do..?

U' standard y-perm U

U' standard y-perm U

Sorry I meant it to be U2 away not U

<R,U,F>
R' U2 R' F' R2 U' R' F' U' F R U R' F U2 R
R U2 R' U' R' F2 R U2 R U2 R' F2 U R U2 R'
R' U2 R U' R' F2 R U2 R U2 R' F2 R' U' R2 U' R'
F R U' R U' R2 U R U R' F U R2 U' R2 F2

<R,U,L>
L U L' U R' U2 L U2 R U2 L' U R' U R

Remember that any <RUL> from the 'normal' angle will be <LUR> from y2
Also, any Yperm inverse will also be a Yperm.

U2 standard y-perm U2

 

[uberCuber]

Mirror the whole standard y-perm and do <U,L,B>

<R,U,F>
R' U2 R' F' R2 U' R' F' U' F R U R' F U2 R
R U2 R' U' R' F2 R U2 R U2 R' F2 U R U2 R'
R' U2 R U' R' F2 R U2 R U2 R' F2 R' U' R2 U' R'
F R U' R U' R2 U R U R' F U R2 U' R2 F2

<R,U,L>
L U L' U R' U2 L U2 R U2 L' U R' U R

Remember that any <RUL> from the 'normal' angle will be <LUR> from y2

Thanks Brest for the awesomely helpful post.
Trying them all now to see which one I like best

Tips on tensioning megaminx?

Tips on tensioning megaminx?

Patience. I start the tensioning process with the puzzle disassembled. Tighten all 12 centers as far as they'll go. Then, unscrew each side about 4 or so full turns of the screws. Reassemble the puzzle and then proceed to tension like a 3x3. Just be very careful to do the same thing to each side.

Use a screwdriver.



It really depends on what brand of minx. For example, mine's an MF8 and it needs to be on the tighter side, whereas I've heard Dayans need to be looser.

Does anyone know where to get to fp pyraminx method algs?

 

[Isaac Paurus]

this gets asked alot i bet, but i need some help and i couldn't find what i wanted. i curently average ~35-36 seconds on the 3x3. i know full PLL, and 2 look OLL with a couple more thrown in there. i want to be sub 30, so i was wondering how long it should take me to do the:
Cross
F2L
OLL
PLL
thanks alot guys

I am in the same spot but closer to 33. I would appreciate this also.

 

[Ninja Storm]

I am in the same spot but closer to 33. I would appreciate this also.

Cross - 5
F2L - 15
OLL - 5
PLL - 3

That'll put you at 28.

I'd say

Cross - 5seconds (try your best to figure it out during inspection time and execute as quick as possible)
F2L - 10~15s (you'll have to practice till it gets into your muscle memory)
OLL - 5s
PLL - 5s
