Where can I get a LanLan skewb that has decent international shipping? And where's the best place to get a pyramorphinx (not master).

When is it appropriate to practice on a cube that is not meant for speedsolving? (Like Rubik's brand?)

Whenever you feel like it. It's even appropriate to use a Rubik's brand in competition. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable/whatever you enjoy; not what your peers tell you to.

In my experience, using cubes with less cutting improves turning accuracy (if only a little bit). I also use a GhostHand I for BLD because it helps me feel the turns more solidly (like if I have done an R or an R2 because my Dayans are too smooth to tell )

not sure, but don't get a meffert's one (assuming there are actually others). I have one and it uses the rubik's 2x2 mechanism and it sucks.

Can someone tell me why skewb is not an official event?

Yeah, I've seen some good reviews for them. Where can I get one at a good price?

I've noticed that under peoples usernames, it says that they are a member. For some, it says premuim member. Then there are people such as Garron who are moderators. What is the difference between a member and a remium member, and how would you become a premium member?

A premium member is someone that has ordered more than 20$ of cubes from Speedsolving.com shop I think. Moderators are people who keep the forum clean, they remove swearing, merge posts, ban users, etc.

Premium members also make donations to keep the forums running.

To become a premium member, you either donate $10 to SS (here) or order $20 or more from the SS puzzle shop. Premium members get no ads on the forum, extra PM space, and the option to change their username.

My brother got one off lightake, but they don't seem to be selling them anymore.

I recently got a 4x4 (SS v4) and I don't have any idea how tight or loose to set it. Are there any general guidelines for the tension on a 4x4? For example, on a 3x3, a common guideline for the tension is to pull the center piece outwards and screw in until the distance between the center piece and core is about one penny's thickness. Also, some people screw in their center pieces all the way and unscrew a certain amount of degrees to get to their favored tensions.

tighten it all the weigh then unscrew each side the same amount untirr you like it .

when you're learning to cube maybe
that is all

 

[Isaac Paurus]

does the SS 5x5 have the same mechanism idea as the 4x4 with the little internal pieces, or is it more like a vcube?

I'm pretty sure they have white ones left. When did your brother get his, and is it black or white?

I recieved a 50mm Zhanchi, and the box had a blue round sticker on it. It feels a lot smoother than my other 50mm, and it's a whole lot faster. Also the core is more of a cloudy white than snow white. What does the blue sticker mean? And why are the cores different?

He got a white one... like 2 years ago.

Where did you get it from?
