What does OP mean? My guess is original post, but I'm not 100% sure.

Yes.

It's my main OH cube (and has been for a few months). I switched caps with a 57mm fangshi to have an all black fangshi but the screw keeps eating into the center cap (center pieces on both cubes are different so I can't switch them). I really liked it better as an illusion.

3a4 was voted out after a new board vote, there will be no such regulation against this puzzle.

Yes.

Could also be Original Poster, Original Plastic

Do you think people would appreciate an android app for the CLL 2x2 method? Or maybe just a 2x2 app that has like Ortega, Full CLL, and some other popular method? Do you guys think people would appreciate that?

Anyone got the best method for Dyeing puzzles with RIT dye. I'm Planing on Dyeing a stickerless Guhong and the Stickerless Diansheng 5x5 black. I could follow this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KymTVz12yvQ if there is not a better way.

this is a really stupid question, but is it possible to tell moyu weisu soft springs apart from stock? i might have mixed one stock with the rest of my soft springs...

They're squishier if you squeeze them.

Feliks Zemdegs time when he use Fridrich?

Cross time or X- Cross time?
F2L time?
Full OLL time?
Full PLL time?

 

[Tao Yu]

Cross time or X- Cross time?
F2L time?
Full OLL time?
Full PLL time?

If you look at the reconstructions of his 6.89 avg12 video:

Mean (12/12)

[B]Step	Time	STM	stps	ETM	etps[/B]
[COLOR="red"]Total	6.94	56.00	8.07	60.33	8.70	[/COLOR]	[B][SIZE="4"]%[/SIZE]
							Step		Time	STM	ETM[/B]
Cross+1	1.47	9.67	6.59	10.50	7.16		Cross+1/F2L	34.1%	30.6%	29.9%
F2L	4.29	31.58	7.36	35.17	8.19		F2L/Total	61.9%	56.4%	58.3%
LL	2.64	24.42	9.24	25.17	9.52		LL/Total	38.1%	43.6%	41.7%

So:
x-cross: 1.47
F2L: 4.29
LL: 2.64 (Don't have a figure for OLL and PLL separately)

Of course this is just one average of 12 and it is slightly faster than average for him, but it should give you a general idea. You could try looking at other reconstructed averages of course or even just count frames from his videos yourself.

where can i find the algs for pyraminx WO centers(solves last layer centers in one alg) and for the FP method(like ortega on 2x2 you make a face and then solve the remaining 2 edges(it has about 30 algs))?

I remember that last year someone memorised a 3x3, then put away the cube unsolved (even packed it), so he will be solve it blindfolded a year later - about now. The purpose of this experiment is that someone can recall a BLD even after a year. Who was that? Is it time to solve the cube? Has he already solved it?
