Worldwide free shipping tho.

What store in the U.S.A will have the fastest shipping to Florida? If I pay for the cheapest shipping?
I ordered a cube from cali, speedcubeshop.com and it got here in 6 days.

True.

The Cubicle has free shipping if you order over 10 dollars worth in their store, and if you're in the US. I think they're based in New York area, and the shipping is quite fast.

Don't worry about what other people link, people will ***** no matter what. So what UWR are you going for?

UWR for cubing during labour. Last year when I was having my 3rd I already did it once, but the video wasn't too good... it ended right before the last move for some reason. Also, I did not have a timer on me and I was slower back then although it was roughly a 20.xx solve which wasn't bad at the time. Since I'm expecting in September again this year (twins, no less) I want to make a proper video that gets the whole thing. I bought a timer recently and now I'm starting to get used to it.

I don't think anyone will moan that you used a stickerless cube.

When cfopping i do EO control to COLL and EPLL or simply do CLL=>ELL. Its kinda fast.

can CLL ELL be considered cfopping? haha

Congratulations!

can CLL ELL be considered cfopping? haha

Not quite. Kir did it as a seperate solve with CLL and ELL in his 'sub20 with 20 different methods' video. And anyway, CFOP. Orient and Permute.

How many different faces/slices are turned in the alg. R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 is 2-gen because you only use R and U moves. R2 U' S' U2 S U' R2 is 3-gen because you use R, U and S.

(inb4 argument about what 2-gen means)

Ok, I have just picked up a 5 X 5 and 6 X 6 and 7 X 7. I allready know how to solve the 4 X 4. And on the 5 X 5 to 7 X 7 I know how to build centers.

Is there a beginners method for edge pairing for the last edges from 5 X 5 and up? From the 4 X 4 I know the two algs Dw R F' U R' F Dw' and the L2 Dw2 R F' U R' F Dw2'. Is there a way to use these into the most difficult cases on the big ones? And if no, is there a website with sheet sheets like Andy Klise? Andy's go only up to 5 X 5.

Just slice, flip and slice all the way, and you need the parity alg as you do on 4x4, but it flips the two wings on the 5x5, with the middle edge intact. As you advance you might want to try bigcubes.com.

excuse my noobiness and potential offence but what is "during labour?"

When a man and a woman love each other very much, they go to the store and buy spaghetti. The man stuffs the spaghetti into the womans mouth and it makes a baby grow inside her. When the baby starts to get bored it tires to fight its way out, through the womans stomach, this period of the baby fighting is known as 'labour.' So basically she s saying she will be solving a cube in teh fastest time whilst a/the babies are trying to kickbox their way out of her.

Has anyone tried the florian mod on the v cube 5?

Poor kid.

Has anyone tried the florian mod on the v cube 5?

Not that I know of, but it doesn't really improve the quality as much as the SS, since the outer layers of the V5 is pretty good already.

Has anyone ever had any trouble with cubes going through security at an airport?

Never tried, but I guess either the screws/springs/washers or the possible torpedoes would be the problem, if there's any
