M' is (arguably) easier to do than M. You flick it with from the BD sticker towards yourself

For M, I just use my ring finger and middle finger to flick from the back of the cube. How do I flick the M'?

-cube

What you're describing is M', you've got your notation mixed up

There's a few ways to do M, you can push upwards on the DB sticker, you can do r' R or R r', or you can push BU with your index finger.

Sometimes i press down on FD with my little finger, Especially if I have to do M' U M for example, then my fingers are in correct position for that.

Speed Stacks timer Pro version (gen 3, I think?) goes to the third decimal place. When using just two decimal places, is the standard to round up/down depending on the last digit or simply leave off the last digit?

Simply chop off the last digit so as to get consistency with the results obtained for 2 decimal places

I'm new to the 4x4x4 and I can't find much info on this scenario...

I have the first 3 layers solved. The top layer (yellow) only has the middle 4 solved. ALL of the edges and corners are not yellow. Where the heck do I go from here? I put each edge on the correct side it should be on, but they're all flipped. I know the alg to flip a single edge but I'd prefer not to do that 4 times Any help would be greatly appreciated!

edit: the alg I memorized for flipping 1 edge pair is this - r2 B2 U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 F2 r F2 l' B2 r2.

Does anyone know if the fasttech.com 3x3x5 and 2x2x1 actually work? Crazybadcuber said a few weeks ago that a lot of 3x3x5's are actually frauds and fakes. That the top 2 and bottom 2 layers are glued together.

Does anyone know of a US vendor selling translucent (semi-clear/tinted) 3x3x3 stickers? I want a set for a novelty clear cube.

There are a few old threads on this, but the links are dead. And my normal sticker vendors don't have translucent.

Thanks.

I just can't get cube shape or step 5.
