Yes with MS word you can add any thing in a Doc like text and Pics

I know. Where can I get the pictures though?

pull on the centerpiece until it's stretched all the way out. then tighten/loosen the screw until there is about enough space between the corepiece and the core to fit a penny's width in. do that to all of the screws. then, put it back together and, VOILA! haha. you may need to fine tune the tensions a little bit after that. it works great for me

It is pretty tight. And it doesnt cut. Four screws are stripped. Didn't work.

Theres a thing called the internet.

Either your screwdriver or your screwing has problems...
If the screws are stripped, it's gonna be pretty hard to tension but Isaac's method actually does work.

Ok. They were already stripped. Not sure how long they have been. When you say penny-width, do you mean when it is pulled out or when it is normal. It is hard to adjust the stripped screw. Coolster01, can you help me?

It cuts pretty good after that?

yup. mine can cut 45-50 degrees.

I just loosen it up a lot on each face, then I try to cut, it usually pops so then I tighten the right, back and top faces a bit. Then I would do that and fine tune it until I get the desired result and keep going around and doing it to all the faces until it is fine-tuned to the max. This may not work for you because I just tighten wherever I feel needs to be tightened and eventually it will be fine. I fine tune by feel and for whatever reason it works out amazingly.

Popping pieces back in

I pop a lot... and more than half of the time I put the pieces back in in an unsolvable way. I'm just wondering if there are any tricks to putting them back in the right way.

If you're up to the last layer it's easy(ish) but I can't think of anything universally applicable.

 

[Genesis]

Other than remembering .where every single piece is, no.
Or you can also learn to turn more .accurately

 

[CyanSandwich]

Eh. Figured as much. I should probably learn to turn more accurately. I figured that would come with time, but I've solved it over 10,000 times.

does anyone have the mf8/china cube club mat? Just curious...i might buy one

My Zhanchi screws are stripped. What can I do to fix it?

 

[applemobile]

What do you mean by stripped? The screws themselves will never strip, as the core will go first. If you mean the head is rounded, then try a screwdriver with less of a pointy end, or even a flat head. If you can't get them out at all, then buy new screws, dissemble the cube, pull the center pieces bak as far a possible and try and grip the edge d the screw with the blade on a pair of sidecutter. Then twist the core to wind them out.

I just noticed today that one of the torpedoes in my zhanchi was cracked at the base, which caused it to be bent at a certain angle. Has anybody else had this problem and is there any way to fix it?

 

[Lchu613]

buy a new torpedo set:

Has anyone put out the idea to do something like

1x2x3 on D
RUuE EO/2x2x3
Finish F2L
>Edges Oriented LL method<
?
I didn't want to make a thread on it, I couldn't find anything like it on this site. If anyone's done work on this before, would a link be possible?

Bump. Anyone?

RUuE is nasty and it practically becomes like a Roux-CFOP ghastly combination. You could try it though and see if its got a low movecount.

 

[Smiles]

If you simplify it a little bit, it's like building a 1x2x3 three times (including where it's just 2 edge pieces and 3 centers) next to each other.
Roux is buildling 1x2x3 blocks twice (without E turns), then CMLL + EO is faster than LL, while LSE minus EO is just as fast as finishing F2L.

It's not that accurate, but I see it being inferior to Roux.

Forum Search function???

Guys, every time I try to use the Search function it goes to 'loading' and after a while logs me out. Anything going with SS Search??
