Yet another question?

What exactly is extended cross and how do you make it? I have been hearing it a lot and was wondering if it's faster than the regular cross :confused:

Faster?
I'm not sure, It depends, of coarse harris chan > me at it, even if he has never tried it( xD ). Let me go a little more in depth about that: He could probablly get a faster X-Cross that I can get reg cross.

X Cross(extended cross) is cross + 1 inserted F2l par.

Oh okay but wait, is it still done on the bottom like the regular cross?

Haha.. is a cross not a regular cross if you don't do it on the bottom?

lol you can never be too sure. =] Also does any one know of a good cube I could buy because my cube is starting to get a little too loose and btw it's a store bought cube.


Oh yeah and one more thing ( even though this is a little off topic) I have testing the whole week for the New jersey ask test(VERY HUGE TEST) and was wondering if anyone has test taking tips they might want to share since it starts tomorrow. Wish me luck..

You can buy DIY (Do It Yourself) cubes from http://www.cube4you.com/They are very good quality cubes, and most people buy the Type A and Type D cubes. Type A DIYs are fast, can cut corners well, and are very smooth. Type D cubes are very fast, but noisy. On all DIYs, you can adjust the tension of the center piece, so you can make the cube tighter or looser.

Your NJ ASK starts tomorrow? Wow, me too! I have so much stuff going on this week! Well the only advice I've heard is get a good night sleep, and eat a good breakfast.

a. Funny thing is out of all my time cubing I've never heard about this website. Thanks!
