The Top 99 Things All Cubers Should Know

"Being able to solve Rubik's cube very fast is a near useless skill, that takes a lot of time to acquire, and does not typically impress the opposite sex. If you think you have better things to do, I can only agree. You probably have." -Lars Petrus

Actually a really cool quote.

That this is not true:

But somewhere out there, for each 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible combinations, there is a way to finish the cube in only 29 moves, since there is 29 squares on a cube.

That this is not true:

It is as true as a move means taking off a sticker and replacing it somewhere else...

What a sexy move is.

Lubing the core can reduce spring noise but won't reduce total friction significantly.

Stickerless cubes are not 'better' than the same cube in black or white, despite what you might've heard from popular youtubers.

These are good ideas, but who is going to compile them? Should I do it? Or should we get waffo to do it?

Ideas:

Moyu isn't god
Feliks isn't god
Maru Lube is god.

An Aolong V2/Weilong/Whatever cubes are considered 'pro' as a first cube won't 'ruin your turning style'.

Idea for a drinking game: Every time Berd posts "Gj!" we all take a shot :^)

If there isn't a cubing drinking game, there should be one!

Solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded is easier than it looks, but only because it looks impossible.

Hahahaa I'm so done.

Never compare yourself to your best times. You will always feel like you are struggling.

Solve for fun not for records

 

[guysensei1]

Go for competitions. Just go. Now. If you can.

What about people who can't see?

THAT'S THE BIG ONE!

Watch reviews before buying a cube; there's a reason the QJ Super Square-1 is still being bought.
Don't assume the most popular event/method/cube is the best one for you.
I know it has been said already, but GO TO A COMPETITION NO MATTER WHAT YOU AVERAGE!! You will meet some of your future best friends at them, and they greatly increase your cubing lifespan!
