I just got a mini QJ 4x4, and I was trying to take it apart, and one of the centers broke.

The "hook" part of the center broke off from the main visible part. Am I doomed to either buying another cube or scrapping someone's center mini QJ center piece, or is there any way to fix it?
 
the method you are most comfortable using and use best is the fastest method
that being said other "methods" use reduction, aka Yau, OBLBL. If you want a method that doesn't really use reduction K4 doesn't i don't think
 
Amazon sells a Lujex Type C wittwo 2x2, it looks real, and has the correct price, but the "Lujex" part disturbs me. It is also sold by someone who is an authorized seller of Shenzhen Kuletong Technology Company Limited. The same seller also sells Shengshou, Dayan and other brands. Is it trustworthy? Do you think i should buy it?

Buy from other stores, such as the Cubicle. They have cheaper prices, free shipping, and are 100% reliable.
 
what are some good or common finger tricks for MU in Roux?
btw, i am a lefty, therefore my first block is on the right, 2nd block on the left, and my M slice hand is my right hand.

Currently i am doing this:
M' = middle finger (right hand)
M = middle finger from DB to BU
M2 = ring finger + middle finger double flick
U' = left hand
U = left hand reverse flick, FLU to LBU
U2 = U' U' (2 flicks)

my biggest concern is U2, since i could be doing a double flick, but i dont like taking my middle finger off the cube cause everything gets unstable, and U turns (reverse flicks) get more difficult.

Well i use my left hand for the M slice and sometimes I do... Pssst... Rr' for M when my hands not in the right place. I've taken to doing both U and U' with both hands though and U2 with my right.
 
Has anyone else found that shengshou cores on big cubes are terrible. I try to lube my big cubes, and there is an issue with the screw or core such that the screw won't come out, and the head of the screw begins to strip as my screwdriver grinds against the metal.
I would like to lube the cubes to get rid of squeaking and make them better, but I cannot without ruining the screw.
 
How do you rotate three centers on a master pyraminx?

I did reduction then solved as a jing's pyraminx, but this state seems impossible on a jing's pyraminx (everything solved besides centers. One center solved, the other three need to rotate around to be solved.)
 
The Calvin's square-1 has the two logos. Is this competition legal?

Yes; 3l says this: "Cube puzzles must have at most one logo. For Rubik's Cube or bigger cube puzzles the logo must be placed on one of the centre pieces." Since the square-1 isn't technically a cube (IMO), it's legal. Even so, if they're on the long middle pieces, then I doubt a delegate would care.
