"how do you do that?"

what the HECK am I supposed to tell them to keep the conversation going?

"practice practice practice"

After doing F2L on the 3x3 stage of 4x4/6x6/8x8 you notice that 2 of the centers need to be switched ether 90 or 180 degrees.

My brother smashed my ShengShou 4 x 4 into pieces on purpose, and he continuously threatens to smash all my other cubes.... Now I hide them and say I sold them all.

EDIT: If you want to know whats the worst part, its hiding the fact that I'm a Speedcuber in my own house. :C

I keep a lot of my cubes in a locking box. You should do the same.

Why would he smash your cube?

Solving with cross on blue, and trying to learn f2l from websites that assume you solve cross on white.

It's nothing I can't get past or anything, just ever so slightly aggravating.

Almost every Roux video explains or shows yellow/white on top, while I'm using red/orange on top, since I learned from Roux's original site... I feel your pain.

Most annoying part is getting started...Hello Algorithms!

This along with learning a new Algorithms for a cretin case for a different way of solving the cube example learning an Algorithm for the Z-perm on a fused cube that dose't use the M moves.

what sucks is no competitions in my country, there was only one competition which was 2 years ago (which is the only one I've ever been to)
completely messing up your solve and then realising it would've been a PLL skip
the moment when you know your solve is gonna be super fast and then you become nervous and completely fail or, even worse, you get a pop

Aren't foreign competitions an option ? There are comps in neighboring countries, and now that Croatia is part of the EU going there shouldn't be a problem.

About to get a good time but you mess up on OLL/PLL or you do the wrong ALG for PLL/OLL

No comps in Florida...

No comps in Florida...

If I remember that world champs of 2005 was in Florida I think it was in Orlando or Miami.

No comps in Florida...

You should host one then.

Either cubes constantly locking up (I'm looking at you, Rubik's Brand) or popping.
