I'm looking to buy atleast 100 3x3 cubes as cheap as possible. zcube.cn would be price with 1.04€ each, but the shipping for 100 cubes is over 100€ doubling the end sum. Are there any shops that sell cheap 3x3s (or 4x4-5x5s, looking for cheapest price "per pixel" so price/9 or 16 or 25 depending on the cube) with free shipping? I want to make cube art.

HKNowstore has this cool thing for prices if you order a certain amount of one type of cube they will lower the price for you + free shipping.

Do you think I could rival Cubesmith if I started my own canadian cube sticker company?

ok, i think I could achieve a cheaper price than them from the place i get them from, would anyone be willing to buy from a new store?

Color neutrality isnt that much worth it. It will save you only a 1 or 2 moves on average when solving the cross and it will make the F2L harder as you arent used to it. Most of the really fast color neutral solvers have been color neutral from te very beginning afaik. The time it takes for you to go color neutral is time that would be much more efficiently spent by practising F2L.

CN does alot more than just save a move on your cross it can allow you to look ahead much easier on your first f2l pair because of the easier cross this can give you a nice head start on the solve. I understand that some people say it's a lot of work to switch but it really isn't unless you are already fast.

Pyraminx equivalents of sub-20, sub-15, sub-10? What would 11 avg be?

I'd say sub10 on pyra is like sub 20 on 3x3..

How do people memorize corners for 3BLD? And edges? Like what words or whatever do people use and how do they use them?

My orientation is red front, blue on left and yellow on top. For example the red blue white piece belongs on the bottom left of the red face. This is 'C', and i use letter pairs to make words and form a story for corners. For edges i call out the edge letters audiably until i remember.

For 3x3s: 0.292 USD (0.22 EUR) per pixel
For bigger cubes: 0.254 USD (0.19 EUR) per pixel
If you can remove the keychains: 0.104 USD (0.08 EUR) per pixel
Shipping is free.

Thanks for the links; The regular 3x3 could be cheaper and the 5x5 is white. Also the keychain cube is too small. I did actually send a ticket to fasttech asking for a cheap deal, we'll see

The free shipping would take a long time, but the cubes would be ultra cheap.

HKNowstore has this cool thing for prices if you order a certain amount of one type of cube they will lower the price for you + free shipping.

Thanks for the tip, however regardless of this the cheapest price per pixel is over 45 cents there because the prices are so high to start with.

Can someone give me a some links to places that sell the black and green stackmat? (other than 51morefun) I cant find any and the only place was 51morefun but it is sold out

Case 1, is there a parity algorithm that would work for Yau5? That one messes up the cross if the pair that needs to be fixed is in the middle layer.
Also I just managed to hit 2:50 with the 5x5, what is it equivalent to with a 4x4 or 3x3?

move it to top layer, execute, undo setup

How would you become a delagte for the WCA? I myself am not interested in it but I'm just asking

Is there a way of intuitively orienting LL corners during the LS?

You can use the petrus EO step, or experiment with VHLS.

This past weekend I was at the Indiana 2013 comp. I competed in Mega and they had me remove the logo from my Dayan but never made me remove the Dayan logo on my 3x3 why is that?

I'm assuming that's what you do, right?
