OcR is just Oceanic Record (which actually happens to include slightly more than Australia )

Ahh thank you. Close enough XD

That being said with faz here, AuR is almost always equal to OcR haha

Can someone use cube explorer and find the scramble for the first solve? I misscrambled and I can't figure out the actual scramble. I can't figure out how to use cube explorer.

EDIT: make that all the scrambles.... apparently they're all wrong?

Has anyone ever used the 15 second inspection time to memorise a 3x3x3 and solve it BLD during a regular 3x3x3 round?

Probably Haiyan Zhuang (look at those regular 3x3 times)

I've FINALLY got to lubing my WeiLong's core, and... I've found the cause of the spring noise on the yellow side: there isn't a washer. Is there a way to fix the noise without it, and if not where could I get one cheaply (I live in the UK)? I know TheCubicle.us has this, but it also gives me way more than I need (I'll have 6 screws, 6 springs and 5 washers that I can't use) and I have to pay for shipping to UK.

Anyone knows name of this song?

Newbie question on notation

Sorry, i hate to ask this but... I am looking over some algs (4LLL) and i see some moves in brackets. example...F (R U R' U') F' f (R U R' U') f'. What are the brackets for?
Cory :confused:

Cory :confused:

They don't change the moves at all. The brackets are just to group moves to make the alg easier to remember. For instance, in the alg you posted, the parts in brackets are sexy moves (R U R' U').

Also, sometimes you will see something like (R U R' U')2 - that means to execute the stuff in brackets 2 times.

Cory :confused:

They're "triggers". These are common moves which appear in lots of different algs. R U R' U' is the "sexy" alg, and U' R' U R is its inverse. R' F R F' is "sledgehammer" and F' R F R' is "hedgeslammer" (its inverse). Sometimes slight variations on triggers also appear in brackets, such as (R U' R' U'), but often the change (in this case the first U') is highlighted.

Also, this should be in the one-answer question thread, just FYI.

Would last layer edge control be a good thing to learn?
I've learned all but 2 of the OLLs
and I was looking into this
I don't want to learn algs so I looked at a video about intuitive edge control
I tried a few solves and I'm a bit torn
I mean having all edges it nice but some 2 edge OLL cases are really easy
Like the one with double R U R' U' moves
What does everyone else think about edge control?

I was wondering about the same. I use 4 LLL and i was wonder ing wheter learning intuitive egde control and sticking with the 7 easy algs, would be a better solution than learning 57 OLLS.

How do you find the size of your cube?

How do you find the size of your cube?

It is usually described when you purchase the cube. However, you could use some good calipers in order to find out.

What methods do Marcin Zalewski, Marcin Kowalczyk, Marcell and Noah BLD?

 

[Tao Yu]

What methods do Marcin Zalewski, Marcin Kowalczyk, Marcell and Noah BLD?

They all use "3 style". (btw, freestyle, 3 style, commutators and BH all mean roughly the same thing)

See noah's 3 style tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYvxVT3vruE

I think most of them memorise using letter pair sentences, but I know that maskow uses numbers (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQeeKShWjgY) .

What are these single-colour tiled 2x2 cube actually for, because tbh I don't get it: http://www.fangshicube.com/funs-cube-2x2-50mm-shishuang-black-with-yellow-tiles.html

 

[DAoliHVAR]

which cube stores have a method of paiment that in no way goes through pay pal
i repeat
in no way
my country doesn't have access to it
