The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

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.

Nope there are nowere to buy them

Do Cubesmith's megaminx stickers fit nicely onto a Dayan megaminx? Their site says "Stickers are guaranteed to fit Tomy Megaminx, Meffert's standard and holey Megaminx, and PVC Megaminx puzzles." I was wondering if anyone had tried to put them on before and what the result was. Thanks.

You don't really need a tutorial for look ahead. However, I believe both crazybadcuber and cyoubx have videos about it.

i have been trying to connect my gen3 stackmat timer with prisma puzzle timer, but prisma puzzletimer wont recognise it. i was able to record the signal with audacity though (some weird brp-brp-brp-brp), so the timer is nto the problem. any ideas?

Any timer that isn't the gen 2 timer doesn't work with prisma, the code for stackmat is too specific. This should be fixed eventually, but for now, nothing can be done.

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

I almost always do the first case of those, it's not fast nor efficient to first set it up like that and then go from there, but it's an easy way to do it.

+2

 

[Isaac Paurus]

+2

Thanks. What would be considered a DNF?

 

[JasonK]

Thanks. What would be considered a DNF?

Same deal as cubes - more than one move off is DNF.

They fit nicely on mine.

To switch to E-slice edge pairing or not? I've been kinda stuck for a while now, using M-slice, and E slice seems to be very promising, or it could just be my lookahead developed doing M-slice. Will it impair my edge pairing by mixing the two?

I personally use E slice, but stick with what you want. I wanted to switch to M slice. Just stick with M.

I have a white cube with black corners. Is this competition legal?

I can't see why it wouldn't be. If you can differentiate between two pieces it is illegal, such as two black corners and six white, but since all your corners are the same you should be good.
