The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

I got a rubiks brand cube for chrsitmas, learned it, got faster, purchased a MoYu Weilong Version 2. I see quite a few ppl saying that Dayan Zhanchi is even better? is that true? would i notice any difference/improvment if i got myself a zhanchi ?

Neither cube is better: it's what you prefer. A WeiLong may be too fast and uncontrollable for you if you've only started cubing recently; a ZhanChi would be more controllable... but a GuHong v2 or a ShengShou Aurora would both be good choices too. I'd suggest the ShengShou Aurora because it's very cheap.

I consider all cubes extremely cheap. So thats not the most important thing for me. But ye i have an Aurora too, and i actually like the weilong better.

Also when learning 4LLL, after yuo've oriented the cross (egdes) and you about to orient corners, and you have all this sune , antisune kinda things. which cases do you guys feel one runs in to most often? So that i can start learning the most usefull ones first

The most common ones are anything except H and the corners already being oriented (skip). I'd learn them in any order you like, doing the ones you find most difficult first. H is easy to learn: it can be done by doing sune or antisune twice.

I have a 55mm zhanchi, a 57mm zhanchi and 2 57mm weilong v1. I find my 55mm zhanchi is the most controllable of all, very smooth. My two weilongs are quite slow compared to what everybody says about them ( cores are lubricated with 50k traxxas ). My 57mm zhanchi being the fastest of my cubes. The feel is completely different though and I'm still not certain which I prefer, I keep switching back and forth between my weilong and my zhanchi. I just even ordered a white zhanchi since I prefer white cubes. I think the best thing to do if you have the budget, is to try out different cubes until you find the one that works the best for you. Also if you're just starting with cubing you could keep on going with the weilong for a little while, see how it goes and then when you have a better idea of what you'd like you can try to target cubes depending on their reviews and how they supposedly feel.

If one tip fell off of a pyra at the end of the solve, would that be a +2 because it is the worst possible position?

DNF.

For 2x2 cubesmith stickers, what size should I get for the moyu lingpo, Dayan Zanchi, and Fangshi ?

Edit: and what about 4x4 Moyu cubes?

Wittwo cut fits lingpo perfectly, and they work fine for the Dayan. I couldn't tell you for the fangshi. I have them on mine. For the 4x4s they don't have a special cut, so just the normal ones for fine.

hi,i am sub 13 and i want sub 10 in this year,so what should i do?

Hmm...
Practice
Learn all PLLs from many angles
Watch Cyoubx's videos
Practice
One more thing... PRACTICE!!!

1. 6TPS minimum is pretty essential for normal sub 10. lol solves are an exception to this.
2. Get that lookahead down. You don't want to pause too much.
3. Drill your LL recognition.
4. Try some LL subsets. OLS, COLL, OLLCP can all help you.

thank you!BUt i have another question:can i practice FT with guhongv2(without T-part)?

thank you!BUt i have another question:can i practice FT with guhongv2(without T-part)?

Why can't you? Just use whichever cube you want

 

[hoangtrung1999]

thank you.

where can i find a list of move optimal ll algs

edit: i have found this optimal pll page:http://cube.garron.us/algs/optimalPLL/ but is still need to find the move optimal oll's

What is the easiest way to perform B and B' moves? I'm learning full OLL and have gotten to the algs which use B and B'

Which cases are they? If you can't fingertrick them, perhaps learning other algs would be better than learning those.

I've been learning them from Badmephisto's site

and the algs which use B and B' are
cases 50 52 53 and 55
on his website I don't know what case number those are on the speedsolving wiki

What I use:
50: S R U R' U' R' F R f'
52: I don't actually know this one...
53: y2 r' U r2 U' r2' U' r2 U r' (same alg)
55: I don't know this one either, but I like y2 r2 D r' U' r D' r2 U r U r'. y2 F U R U2 R' U' R U2 R' U' F' is another one that looks good.

How many EPLL's are there on Megaminx?
