Edge piece

[[Image:Rubik edge drawing.jpg|thumb|A 3x3x3 edge piece]]

An '''edge piece''' of a [[puzzle]] is normally a piece that has two stickers (because it is part of two faces). On the [[3x3x3]] there are 12 edges, and for each pair of adjacent colors there is only one edge with those two colors. On larger cubes (such as the [[5x5x5]]), however, there are several edge pieces for each pair of colors, as you can see in the image of all edge pieces on the 5x5x5.

Image:Wings_%285x5%29.png|An illustration of the wings on a 5x5x5.
</gallery>

On larger cubes there are actually two types of edge pieces: ''midges'' and ''wings''.
* A '''midge''' (short for 'middle edge') lies exactly in the middle of the edge, and can be flipped in place.
* A '''wing''', however, is not symmetrical, and actually has only one orientation if you know where on the cube it is located. This means that if there are two (say) red-white wings on a cube, they cannot be interchanged without being flipped, and you cannot flip just one of them no matter what the rest of the cube looks like. There is a set of 'left' wings and a set of 'right' wings which are mirror images of each other and cannot be placed in each others' spaces. Because of this, although there are 24 wings of each shape, they are always separated into two [[Orbit|orbits]].

Trigger

2013-10-19T00:21:42Z

Brandon Sky:

A short sequence of face turns, which is generally fast and easy to execute. The [[Sexy Move]] is an example of a trigger. When repeated enough times on a solved cube, the cube will revert to its solved position.

Brandon Sky: /* Pyraminx */

This category contains information on the different mass-produced brands of the most commonly solved (non cube) puzzles.

=== [[Pyraminx]] ===

* '''[[Meffert's Pyraminx]]''' - Most cubers use the Meffert's brand Pyraminx, which can be purchased at [http://www.mefferts.com mefferts.com] online store. They have two models, the original Pyraminx and the Pyraminx II, which is an improved version of the original.
* '''QJ Pyraminx''' - A cheaper brand of Pyraminx. Like the mefferts pyraminx, it has a ball bearing clicking mechanism, so it is not well suited for speedcubing without modding.
* '''Chinese knock-offs''' - There are some Chinese knock-offs available at other sites such as [[Cube4You]] and [[DealExtreme]]

=== [[Megaminx]] ===

* '''[[Meffert's Megaminx]]''' - Sold at [http://sites.webec.com.hk/meffert/ Meffert's online shop]. These are generally considered to be the best Megaminx, but are fairly expensive and are often out of stock, making them less accessable than the Chinese brands.
* '''MF8 Megaminx'''
* '''QJ Megaminx'''
* '''Chinese Megaminxes''' - Chinese versions of the Megaminx (often referred to as "Chinaminxes") are sold at [[Cube4You]] and other [[Puzzle Shops|online sellers]] of Chinese cube puzzles.

::The [http://www.cube4you.com/102_New-Megaminx.html tiled Chinese Megaminx] has a mechanism that clicks faces into alignment, just like the QJ Pyraminx. Because of this, it is not very well suited for speedsolving without modifications.

::The [http://www.cube4you.com/307_Megaminx(PVC-sticker).html PVC Megaminx] is a clone of the Edison Megaminx. It is considerably smoother than the tiled Chinese Megaminx and is comparable to the Meffert's Megaminx after lubing and tuning.

::[http://www.cube4you.com/421_New-12-Color-Tile-Megaminx(Black).html New Tiled Megaminx]

=== [[Square-1]] ===
* '''MF8 Ball core Square-1(V2)'''
* '''MF8 Screw Spring core Square-1(V1)'''
* '''Cubetwist Square-1'''

=== [[Magic]]s ===

* '''[[Rubik's Magic]]s''' - Rubik's was the first company to produce Magics, and because of this most Magics on the market come from that company.
* '''Cubetwist Magics
* '''Lingao Magics
* '''DIY Magics''' - Some Chinese shops, such as Cube4You, sell DIY magic kits, which come with tiles and string and require the buyer to print out paper inserts and then assemble the puzzle themselves. These types of Magics have a very wide variety of tightnesses, and can end up either too tight to stay flat or so loose that wires often pop off.

=== [[Clock]]s ===
* '''Rubiks Clock'''
* '''Cubetwist Clock'''
* '''Lingao Clock'''

=== [[Rubik's Twist]] (Snake) ===
Rubik's original and crappy copies are avaiable.

=== [[Rubik's 360]] ===
Manufactured by [[Rubik's]] only.

Edge piece

2013-10-18T19:21:42Z

Brandon Sky:

[[Image:Rubik edge drawing.jpg|thumb|A 3x3x3 edge piece]]

An '''edge piece''' of a [[puzzle]] is normally a piece that has two stickers (because it is part of two faces). On the [[3x3x3]] there are 12 edges, and for each pair of adjacent colors there is only one edge with those two colors. On larger cubes (such as the [[5x5x5]]), however, there are several edge pieces for each pair of colors, as you can see in the image of all edge pieces on the 5x5x5.

<gallery>
Image:Edge_Pieces_%285x5%29.png|An illustration of all the edge pieces on a 5x5x5.
Image:Midges_%285x5%29.png|An illustration of the midges on a 5x5x5.
Image:Wings_%285x5%29.png|An illustration of the wings on a 5x5x5.
</gallery>

On larger cubes there are actually two types of edge pieces: ''midges'' and ''wings''.
* A '''midge''' (short for 'middle edge') lies exactly in the middle of the edge, and can be flipped in place.
* A '''wing''', however, is not symmetrical, and actually has only one orientation if you know where on the cube it is located. This means that if there are two (say) red-white wings on a cube, they cannot be interchanged without being flipped, and you cannot flip just one of them no matter what the rest of the cube looks like. There is a set of 'left' wings and a set of 'right' wings which are mirror images of each other and cannot be placed in each others' spaces. Because of this, they are always separated into two [[Orbit|orbits]].

OLL

2013-10-15T01:05:48Z

Brandon Sky: /* OLL 28 */ Oh great. The super slow Y2 move.

{{Method Infobox

'''OLL''' (short for [[Orientation]] of the [[Last Layer]]) is a last-layer step for 3x3 that orients all last-layer corners and edges in one step. It is the first last-layer step in many speedsolving methods, including the [[Fridrich Method]]. OLL is usually followed by [[PLL]].

== Terminology ==
'''Dot OLL''' refers to OLL cases with no edge oriented correctly, so named because the center sticker forms a lone dot of the last-layer color. These cases are typically longer and harder to execute than others and are sometimes avoided. For example, cubers who have not learned full OLL can use [[partial edge control]] to avoid these cases altogether. Even some cubers who know full OLL avoid these cases for [[one-handed solving]].

 {{OLL}}

=OLL Algorithms=
Parentheses in an algorithm signify the triggers of the algorithm. For example, [(R U R') (L' U L)] shows two triggers in the algorithm, even though it is the same as [R U R' L' U L].

The areas shaded in gray represent the oriented pieces on the top layer. You can tell if a piece is oriented by looking at the top color of the piece in relation to the top center of the cube. If the piece is oriented, the two colors will be the same.

The bars sticking off to the side of an unshaded piece represent where the [[sticker]] that needs to be on top is.

{{Algnote}}

==All edges flipped correctly==
This subgroup, '''OCLL''' (also '''OLL-C''') is used in methods which have oriented the [[LL]] edges earlier in the solve, such as [[ZZ]]. Solving the '''OCLL''' is also the second part of the [[2-look OLL]].

'''OLL''' (short for [[Orientation]] of the [[Last Layer]]) is a last-layer step for 3x3 that orients all last-layer corners and edges in one step. It is the first last-layer step in many speedsolving methods, including the [[Fridrich Method]]. OLL is usually followed by [[PLL]].

== Terminology ==
'''Dot OLL''' refers to OLL cases with no edge oriented correctly, so named because the center sticker forms a lone dot of the last-layer color. These cases are typically longer and harder to execute than others and are sometimes avoided. For example, cubers who have not learned full OLL can use [[partial edge control]] to avoid these cases altogether. Even some cubers who know full OLL avoid these cases for [[one-handed solving]].

=OLL Algorithms=
Parentheses in an algorithm signify the triggers of the algorithm. For example, [(R U R') (L' U L)] shows two triggers in the algorithm, even though it is the same as [R U R' L' U L].

The areas shaded in gray represent the oriented pieces on the top layer. You can tell if a piece is oriented by looking at the top color of the piece in relation to the top center of the cube. If the piece is oriented, the two colors will be the same.

The bars sticking off to the side of an unshaded piece represent where the [[sticker]] that needs to be on top is.

{{Algnote}}

==All edges flipped correctly==
This subgroup, '''OCLL''' (also '''OLL-C''') is used in methods which have oriented the [[LL]] edges earlier in the solve, such as [[ZZ]]. Solving the '''OCLL''' is also the second part of the [[2-look OLL]].

'''OLL''' (short for [[Orientation]] of the [[Last Layer]]) is a last-layer step for 3x3 that orients all last-layer corners and edges in one step. It is the first last-layer step in many speedsolving methods, including the [[Fridrich Method]]. OLL is usually followed by [[PLL]].

== Terminology ==
'''Dot OLL''' refers to OLL cases with no edge oriented correctly, so named because the center sticker forms a lone dot of the last-layer color. These cases are typically longer and harder to execute than others and are sometimes avoided. For example, cubers who have not learned full OLL can use [[partial edge control]] to avoid these cases altogether. Even some cubers who know full OLL avoid these cases for [[one-handed solving]].

=OLL Algorithms=
Parentheses in an algorithm signify the triggers of the algorithm. For example, [(R U R') (L' U L)] shows two triggers in the algorithm, even though it is the same as [R U R' L' U L].

The areas shaded in gray represent the oriented pieces on the top layer. You can tell if a piece is oriented by looking at the top color of the piece in relation to the top center of the cube. If the piece is oriented, the two colors will be the same.

The bars sticking off to the side of an unshaded piece represent where the [[sticker]] that needs to be on top is.

{{Algnote}}

==All edges flipped correctly==
This subgroup, '''OCLL''' (also '''OLL-C''') is used in methods which have oriented the [[LL]] edges earlier in the solve, such as [[ZZ]]. Solving the '''OCLL''' is also the second part of the [[2-look OLL]].

'''OLL''' (short for [[Orientation]] of the [[Last Layer]]) is a last-layer step for 3x3 that orients all last-layer corners and edges in one step. It is the first last-layer step in many speedsolving methods, including the [[Fridrich Method]]. OLL is usually followed by [[PLL]].

== Terminology ==
'''Dot OLL''' refers to OLL cases with no edge oriented correctly, so named because the center sticker forms a lone dot of the last-layer color. These cases are typically longer and harder to execute than others and are sometimes avoided. For example, cubers who have not learned full OLL can use [[partial edge control]] to avoid these cases altogether. Even some cubers who know full OLL avoid these cases for [[one-handed solving]].

=OLL Algorithms=
Parentheses in an algorithm signify the triggers of the algorithm. For example, [(R U R') (L' U L)] shows two triggers in the algorithm, even though it is the same as [R U R' L' U L].

The areas shaded in gray represent the oriented pieces on the top layer. You can tell if a piece is oriented by looking at the top color of the piece in relation to the top center of the cube. If the piece is oriented, the two colors will be the same.

The bars sticking off to the side of an unshaded piece represent where the [[sticker]] that needs to be on top is.

{{Algnote}}

==All edges flipped correctly==
This subgroup, '''OCLL''' (also '''OLL-C''') is used in methods which have oriented the [[LL]] edges earlier in the solve, such as [[ZZ]]. Solving the '''OCLL''' is also the second part of the [[2-look OLL]].

Lubrication

2013-10-04T16:11:37Z

Brandon Sky:

A '''lubricant''' (or '''lube''') is a material which can be put in a [[puzzle]] to make it easier to turn or smoother. This page contains descriptions of different lubricants and specific suggestions for how to use them. In general, to lube a cube, you should apply the lubricant either by removing one piece and spraying it in, or by disassembling the cube completely and coating the pieces in lubricant. After lube is applied, it is usually best to not time a solve immediately, but rather give the lube a few minutes to work in. It is also recommended that you do not apply lube to very stiff cubes, as this can sometimes make them even harder to turn; instead, try putting vaseline in the cube, then after a week or two, clean it out and then lubricate it.

The following two general terms are used to characterise the friction effects of a lubricant:
* '''Static Friction''' - force required to initiate a turn.
* '''Dynamic Friction''' - resistance felt during the turn.
The range of lubricants available affect each of these aspects in differing degrees. For example, silicone oils tend to reduce static friction, while increasing dynamic friction.

== Silicon-Based ==
Silicon-based lubricants are a highly popular and effective way to lubricate cubes.
Silicone sprays leave a smooth coat of lube over the cube's plastic to make it glide smoothly over other surfaces, thus making your cube turn smoother.

===Lubix Cube===
A high viscosity pure silicone oil fluid. Very Effective and has risen to one of the most popular lubricants on sale. The lubricant is a little expensive but only very little is needed and it is said to last a very long time.

The same silicone oil ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydimethylsiloxane dimethylsiloxane fluid]) could be found at most local hobby stores with a much cheaper price, though missing Lubix's syringe.

===Rubik's Lube===
This is the lube that comes in a syringe-like container when you order from Rubiks.com.

[https://www.rubiks.com/shop/product.php?pid=34 3x3]
[https://www.rubiks.com/shop/product.php?pid=35 4x4]
[https://www.rubiks.com/shop/product.php?pid=36 5x5]
[https://www.rubiks.com/shop/product.php?pid=37 PVC]

===Maru Lubricant===
A white, milk like liquid. Works very well and is very popular. Huge performance increase on the spot even with only 1 or 2 drops.The lubricant tends to dry out quickly during a weeks peroid. Very Cheap and lasts for over 3 months per bottle.
[http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.30344~C.12332011TXFCIVEFR! Maru Lube at Lightake]

===Cubesmith Lube===
Cubesmith sells low and high viscosity lube [http://www.cubesmith.com/Lubricant.htm here]. Each syringe contains 5 cc of lube. It does not melt plastic like Jig-A-Loo, CRC, and vaseline can. If you are gonna use it, avoiding getting the lube on the stickers, as it may compromise the adhesive. Each order also comes with 2 Cubesmith logo stickers.

===Jig-A-Loo===
Used by many cubers, this lubricant works very well. However, it can melt plastic temporarily, so it is recommended that you completely disassemble your cube to lubricate it, and that you let the pieces dry well before reassembly. Available in the US and Canada. @see [http://www.jigaloo.com/us/e_products_jigaloo.php jigaloo.com], Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5129 The TRUTH about Jig-A-Loo]

===CRC Silicone Spray===
CRC silicon spray has been used by many cubers. This is a very good lubricant to use. It will dry out soon, but works well. It is known to eat cubes too, so use with caution. Available at Wal Mart in the US and Canada. Available at some hardware stores in Australia.

===Tableau Dry Lube===
A silicone-based spray lubricant, popular in the UK. Cheap to buy and often gets good reviews. [http://www.ebay.co.uk eBay.co.uk] is usually the best place to buy it online. Like most spray lubricants, its propellant can cause temporary melting of plastic, so it is recommended that the cube is disassembled to allow the lube to dry before use.
@see [http://www.tableauproducts.com/ tableauproducts.com]

===Shock Oil===
Available worldwide, this comes in a range of viscosities and is 100% pure silicone oil. Mainly sold for radio controlled car shock absorbers. Available from [http://www.racingstate.com/shock-oil.html racingstate.com] in wt30 (UK only), or [http://www.towerhobbies.com towerhobbies.com] in a range of viscosities including [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX3303&P=7 wt10], [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX3304&P=M wt20] and [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX3305&P=M wt30] (shipping is expensive, but available worldwide).
* Speedsolving.com : [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17011 What type of Shock oil]

===Differential Oil===
Differential oils of very high viscosity have been used successfully by some cubers. 50,000wt oils such as [http://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Diff-Oil-50-000/dp/B0006O7MII/ref=sr_1_1 this one] are reported to produce very good results. The right quantity is a small drop per cube, and applying more may make a cube slower and sticky. These oils are available in toy shops as well as [http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=50%2C000wt+silicone+diff+oil&_sacat=See-All-Categories on eBay].
* [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?30890-High-Viscosity-Differential-Oil-Thread&highlight=differential New Speedsolving.com discussion]

===Maplin Silicone Grease with PTFE===
Works well on [[DIY]] cubes, and is easy to find in the UK. Comes in a spray can with extension tube for lazy lubing. @see [http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=30030&C=SO&U=strat15 maplin.co.uk]

===Armour All original protectant===
It is silicone based, and pretty good, but sometimes causes the cube to gunk up when overlubed. It is recommended that you wipe off excess lubricant after using. @see [http://www.armorall.com/products/view_product.php?product_id=8 armorall.com]

===Other silicone lubricants===
*Calvin Puzzles Lube - available from hknowstore.com and puzzleaddictions,com
*W5 Silicone Oil - available from LIDL stores across Europe
* [http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_214714_langId_-1_categoryId_165750 3 in 1 silicone spray] - Takes a while to dry. Available in UK hardware stores such as Halfords. It also leaves a very sticky feel to it, even after it has dried.
* Wynn's Silicone Lube - From 'A1', a UK motoring spares store.
* Rapide silicone spray - Available from UK stores.
* [http://www.griffon.nl/nl-nl/producten/928-smeermiddelen-vetten/product/945-siliconenvet Griffon] - Available in the Netherlands

* [http://www.spraywayinc.com/products.php?id=945 Sprayway]
* Gyrolon Universal Silikonspray - Available in the german dicounter ALDI
* OK/Q8 SILKON SPRAY, avaiable in Sweden, much like CRC but does not dry out as fast.

== Petroleum-Based ==
These include lubricants such as vaseline, WD-40, or Liquid Wrench. It is '''recommended that you do not use these, but if you really want to, use them with caution''', as petroleum and petroleum distillates speed the aging of plastic, and may dissolve the plastic resulting in destruction of the pieces and the internal mechanism. Excessive uses of these lubricants often lead to the center mechanism breaking apart completely. Some, however, have reported success using petroleum based lubricants to speed up [[breaking in]] of new cubes. It would be best if you have a tight cube (Rubik's brand) to lube it will a petroleum based jelly for about a month. Then take it all a part and [[cleaning]] it and use a silicone base lubricant.

===Vaseline===
Goopy and well known, this is not the best lube. Being a petroleum based lubricant it will speed the deterioration of the pieces as well as the internal mechanism. Some people recommend using vaseline for a while to wear down the inside of the cube (almost like breaking in the cube) before using other lubricants.

===WD-40===
Known for damaging cubes by wearing the pieces in and making them harder to turn, this does not actually act as a lubricant for the plastic at all. However, there have been some success stories of WD-40 being used on cubes and making them smoother.
It is recommended you '''do not use this'''. If you must, however, you should wash or wipe it off after about half an hour.

===Liquid Wrench and WD-40 Silicone===
Even though Liquid Wrench and WD-40 silicone says Silicone Spray on the can, it still contains petroleum distillates. The lubricants also have a very petroleum-like smell and will stay there. Liquid Wrench and WD-40 silicone sprays are not odorless. Do not use them. It contains less than 5% of silicone.

== Miscellaneous Other Lubricants ==

=== Cooking No-stick Spray ===
Yes, PAM. Not necessarily the cleanest or best thing to use, it works nonetheless. It will slowly eat the plastic but not nearly as fast as petroleum based products. It is recommended you clean out your cube frequently if you use this.

=== White Lithium Grease ===
There are some mixed results of this lubricant, but it does work fairly well. The cube will have a sticky feeling after using it, though it wears off after some [[breaking-in]].

=== Furniture Polish ===
Some furniture polishes such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Sheen Mr Sheen] and [http://www.uclean.com/catalog/productInfo/chemicals/polishes/johnson_shine_up_polish_32_oz_lemon.html Shine-Up Polish] contain silicone and can be a cheap and widely available lubricant. Reviews are mixed with some reporting a positive result, while others aren't convinced.

=== Graphite Powder ===
A dry, oil-free solution. Reduces the 'sticky' feeling, but causes cube to turn less smoothly.

A silicone-based spray lubricant, popular in the UK. Cheap to buy and often gets good reviews. [http://www.ebay.co.uk eBay.co.uk] is usually the best place to buy it online. Like most spray lubricants, its propellant can cause temporary melting of plastic, so it is recommended that the cube is disassembled to allow the lube to dry before use.
@see [http://www.tableauproducts.com/ tableauproducts.com]

===Shock Oil===
Available worldwide, this comes in a range of viscosities and is 100% pure silicone oil. Mainly sold for radio controlled car shock absorbers. Available from [http://www.racingstate.com/shock-oil.html racingstate.com] in wt30 (UK only), or [http://www.towerhobbies.com towerhobbies.com] in a range of viscosities including [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX3303&P=7 wt10], [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX3304&P=M wt20] and [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX3305&P=M wt30] (shipping is expensive, but available worldwide).
* Speedsolving.com : [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17011 What type of Shock oil]

===Differential Oil===
Differential oils of very high viscosity have been used successfully by some cubers. 50,000wt oils such as [http://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Diff-Oil-50-000/dp/B0006O7MII/ref=sr_1_1 this one] are reported to produce very good results. The right quantity is a small drop per cube, and applying more may make a cube slower and sticky. These oils are available in toy shops as well as [http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=50%2C000wt+silicone+diff+oil&_sacat=See-All-Categories on eBay].

===Maplin Silicone Grease with PTFE===
Works well on [[DIY]] cubes, and is easy to find in the UK. Comes in a spray can with extension tube for lazy lubing. @see [http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=30030&C=SO&U=strat15 maplin.co.uk]

===Armour All original protectant===
It is silicone based, and pretty good, but sometimes causes the cube to gunk up when overlubed. It is recommended that you wipe off excess lubricant after using. @see [http://www.armorall.com/products/view_product.php?product_id=8 armorall.com]

===Other silicone lubricants===

* Wynn's Silicone Lube - From 'A1', a UK motoring spares store.
* Rapide silicone spray - Available from UK stores.

* Gyrolon Universal Silikonspray - Available in the german dicounter ALDI
* OK/Q8 SILKON SPRAY, avaiable in Sweden, much like CRC but does not dry out as fast.

== Petroleum-Based ==
These include lubricants such as vaseline, WD-40, or Liquid Wrench. It is '''recommended that you do not use these, but if you really want to, use them with caution''', as petroleum and petroleum distillates speed the aging of plastic, and may dissolve the plastic resulting in destruction of the pieces and the internal mechanism. Excessive uses of these lubricants often lead to the center mechanism breaking apart completely. Some, however, have reported success using petroleum based lubricants to speed up [[breaking in]] of new cubes. It would be best if you have a tight cube (Rubik's brand) to lube it will a petroleum based jelly for about a month. Then take it all a part and [[cleaning]] it and use a silicone base lubricant.

===Vaseline===
Goopy and well known, this is not the best lube. Being a petroleum based lubricant it will speed the deterioration of the pieces as well as the internal mechanism. Some people recommend using vaseline for a while to wear down the inside of the cube (almost like breaking in the cube) before using other lubricants.

===WD-40===
Known for damaging cubes by wearing the pieces in and making them harder to turn, this does not actually act as a lubricant for the plastic at all. However, there have been some success stories of WD-40 being used on cubes and making them smoother.
It is recommended you '''do not use this'''. If you must, however, you should wash or wipe it off after about half an hour.

===Liquid Wrench and WD-40 Silicone===
Even though Liquid Wrench and WD-40 silicone says Silicone Spray on the can, it still contains petroleum distillates. The lubricants also have a very petroleum-like smell and will stay there. Liquid Wrench and WD-40 silicone sprays are not odorless. Do not use them. It contains less than 5% of silicone.

== Miscellaneous Other Lubricants ==

=== Cooking No-stick Spray ===
Yes, PAM. Not necessarily the cleanest or best thing to use, it works nonetheless. It will slowly eat the plastic but not nearly as fast as petroleum based products. It is recommended you clean out your cube frequently if you use this.

=== White Lithium Grease ===
There are some mixed results of this lubricant, but it does work fairly well. The cube will have a sticky feeling after using it, though it wears off after some [[breaking-in]].

=== Furniture Polish ===
Some furniture polishes such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Sheen Mr Sheen] and [http://www.uclean.com/catalog/productInfo/chemicals/polishes/johnson_shine_up_polish_32_oz_lemon.html Shine-Up Polish] contain silicone and can be a cheap and widely available lubricant. Reviews are mixed with some reporting a positive result, while others aren't convinced.

=== Graphite Powder ===
A dry, oil-free solution. Reduces the 'sticky' feeling, but causes cube to turn less smoothly.

Brandon Sky: /* Pyraminx */

This category contains information on the different mass-produced brands of the most commonly solved (non cube) puzzles.

=== [[Pyraminx]] ===

* '''[[Meffert's Pyraminx]]''' - Most cubers use the Meffert's brand Pyraminx, which can be purchased at [http://www.mefferts.com mefferts.com] online store. They have two models, the original Pyraminx and the Pyraminx II, which is an improved version of the original.
* '''QJ Pyraminx''' - it has a ball bearing clicking mechanism, so it is not well suited for speedcubing without modding.
* '''Chinese knock-offs''' - There are some Chinese knock-offs available at other sites such as [[Cube4You]] and [[DealExtreme]]

=== [[Megaminx]] ===

* '''[[Meffert's Megaminx]]''' - Sold at [http://sites.webec.com.hk/meffert/ Meffert's online shop]. These are generally considered to be the best Megaminx, but are fairly expensive and are often out of stock, making them less accessable than the Chinese brands.
* '''MF8 Megaminx'''
* '''QJ Megaminx'''
* '''Chinese Megaminxes''' - Chinese versions of the Megaminx (often referred to as "Chinaminxes") are sold at [[Cube4You]] and other [[Puzzle Shops|online sellers]] of Chinese cube puzzles.

::The [http://www.cube4you.com/102_New-Megaminx.html tiled Chinese Megaminx] has a mechanism that clicks faces into alignment, just like the QJ Pyraminx. Because of this, it is not very well suited for speedsolving without modifications.

::The [http://www.cube4you.com/307_Megaminx(PVC-sticker).html PVC Megaminx] is a clone of the Edison Megaminx. It is considerably smoother than the tiled Chinese Megaminx and is comparable to the Meffert's Megaminx after lubing and tuning.

::[http://www.cube4you.com/421_New-12-Color-Tile-Megaminx(Black).html New Tiled Megaminx]

=== [[Square-1]] ===
* '''MF8 Ball core Square-1(V2)'''
* '''MF8 Screw Spring core Square-1(V1)'''
* '''Cubetwist Square-1'''

=== [[Magic]]s ===

* '''[[Rubik's Magic]]s''' - Rubik's was the first company to produce Magics, and because of this most Magics on the market come from that company.
* '''Cubetwist Magics
* '''Lingao Magics
* '''DIY Magics''' - Some Chinese shops, such as Cube4You, sell DIY magic kits, which come with tiles and string and require the buyer to print out paper inserts and then assemble the puzzle themselves. These types of Magics have a very wide variety of tightnesses, and can end up either too tight to stay flat or so loose that wires often pop off.

=== [[Clock]]s ===
* '''Rubiks Clock'''
* '''Cubetwist Clock'''
* '''Lingao Clock'''

=== [[Rubik's Twist]] (Snake) ===
Rubik's original and crappy copies are avaiable.

=== [[Rubik's 360]] ===
Manufactured by [[Rubik's]] only.

Lubrication

2013-09-11T17:08:40Z

Brandon Sky: /* Silicon-Based */ cubesmith lube

A '''lubricant''' (or '''lube''') is a material which can be put in a [[puzzle]] to make it easier to turn or smoother. This page contains descriptions of different lubricants and specific suggestions for how to use them. In general, to lube a cube, you should apply the lubricant either by removing one piece and spraying it in, or by disassembling the cube completely and coating the pieces in lubricant. After lube is applied, it is usually best to not time a solve immediately, but rather give the lube a few minutes to work in. It is also recommended that you do not apply lube to very stiff cubes, as this can sometimes make them even harder to turn.

The following two general terms are used to characterise the friction effects of a lubricant:
* '''Static Friction''' - force required to initiate a turn.
* '''Dynamic Friction''' - resistance felt during the turn.
The range of lubricants available affect each of these aspects in differing degrees. For example, silicone oils tend to reduce static friction, while increasing dynamic friction.

== Silicon-Based ==
Silicon-based lubricants are a highly popular and effective way to lubricate cubes.
Silicone sprays leave a smooth coat of lube over the cube's plastic to make it glide smoothly over other surfaces, thus making your cube turn smoother.

===Lubix Cube===
A high viscosity pure silicone oil fluid. Very Effective and has risen to one of the most popular lubricants on sale. The lubricant is a little expensive but only very little is needed and it is said to last a very long time.

The same silicone oil ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydimethylsiloxane dimethylsiloxane fluid]) could be found at most local hobby stores with a much cheaper price, though missing Lubix's syringe.

===Rubik's Lube===
This is the lube that comes in a syringe-like container when you order from Rubiks.com. It can be found at

[http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.37986~C.12332011TXFCIVEFR! Rubiks Original Lube at lightake.com] .

===Maru Lubricant===
A white, milk like liquid. Works very well and is very popular. Huge performance increase on the spot even with only 1 or 2 drops.The lubricant tends to dry out quickly during a weeks peroid. Very Cheap and lasts for over 3 months per bottle.
[http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.30344~C.12332011TXFCIVEFR! Maru Lube at Lightake]

===Cubesmith Lube===
Cubesmith sells low and high viscosity lube [http://www.cubesmith.com/Lubricant.htm here]. Each syringe contains 5 cc of lube. It does not melt plastic like Jig-A-Loo, CRC, and vaseline can. If you are gonna use it, avoiding getting the lube on the stickers, as it may compromise the adhesive. Each order also comes with 2 Cubesmith logo stickers.

===Jig-A-Loo===
Used by many cubers, this lubricant works very well. However, it can melt plastic temporarily, so it is recommended that you completely disassemble your cube to lubricate it, and that you let the pieces dry well before reassembly. Available in the US and Canada. @see [http://www.jigaloo.com/us/e_products_jigaloo.php jigaloo.com], Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5129 The TRUTH about Jig-A-Loo]

===CRC Silicone Spray===
CRC silicon spray has been used by many cubers. This is a very good lubricant to use. It will dry out soon, but works well. It is known to eat cubes too, so use with caution. Available at Wal Mart in the US and Canada. Available at some hardware stores in Australia.

===Tableau Dry Lube===
A silicone-based spray lubricant, popular in the UK. Cheap to buy and often gets good reviews. [http://www.ebay.co.uk eBay.co.uk] is usually the best place to buy it online. Like most spray lubricants, its propellant can cause temporary melting of plastic, so it is recommended that the cube is disassembled to allow the lube to dry before use.
@see [http://www.tableauproducts.com/ tableauproducts.com]

===Shock Oil===
Available worldwide, this comes in a range of viscosities and is 100% pure silicone oil. Mainly sold for radio controlled car shock absorbers. Available from [http://www.racingstate.com/shock-oil.html racingstate.com] in wt30 (UK only), or [http://www.towerhobbies.com towerhobbies.com] in a range of viscosities including [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX3303&P=7 wt10], [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX3304&P=M wt20] and [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX3305&P=M wt30] (shipping is expensive, but available worldwide).
* Speedsolving.com : [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17011 What type of Shock oil]

===Differential Oil===
Differential oils of very high viscosity have been used successfully by some cubers. 50,000wt oils such as [http://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Diff-Oil-50-000/dp/B0006O7MII/ref=sr_1_1 this one] are reported to produce very good results. The right quantity is a small drop per cube, and applying more may make a cube slower and sticky. These oils are available in toy shops as well as [http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=50%2C000wt+silicone+diff+oil&_sacat=See-All-Categories on eBay].

Works well on [[DIY]] cubes, and is easy to find in the UK. Comes in a spray can with extension tube for lazy lubing. @see [http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=30030&C=SO&U=strat15 maplin.co.uk]

===Armour All original protectant===
It is silicone based, and pretty good, but sometimes causes the cube to gunk up when overlubed. It is recommended that you wipe off excess lubricant after using. @see [http://www.armorall.com/products/view_product.php?product_id=8 armorall.com]

== Petroleum-Based ==
These include lubricants such as vaseline, WD-40, or Liquid Wrench. It is '''recommended that you do not use these, but if you really want to, use them with caution''', as petroleum and petroleum distillates speed the aging of plastic, and may dissolve the plastic resulting in destruction of the pieces and the internal mechanism. Excessive uses of these lubricants often lead to the center mechanism breaking apart completely. Some, however, have reported success using petroleum based lubricants to speed up [[breaking in]] of new cubes. It would be best if you have a tight cube (Rubik's brand) to lube it will a petroleum based jelly for about a month. Then take it all a part and [[cleaning]] it and use a silicone base lubricant.

===Vaseline===
Goopy and well known, this is not the best lube. Being a petroleum based lubricant it will speed the deterioration of the pieces as well as the internal mechanism. Some people recommend using vaseline for a while to wear down the inside of the cube (almost like breaking in the cube) before using other lubricants.

===WD-40===
Known for damaging cubes by wearing the pieces in and making them harder to turn, this does not actually act as a lubricant for the plastic at all. However, there have been some success stories of WD-40 being used on cubes and making them smoother.
It is recommended you '''do not use this'''. If you must, however, you should wash or wipe it off after about half an hour.

===Liquid Wrench===
Even though Liquid Wrench says Silicone Spray on the can, it still contains petroleum distillates. The lubricant also has a very petroleum-like smell and will stay there. Liquid Wrench is not odorless. Do not use this. It contains less than 5% of silicone.

== Miscellaneous Other Lubricants ==

=== Cooking No-stick Spray ===
Yes, PAM. Not necessarily the cleanest or best thing to use, it works nonetheless. It will slowly eat the plastic but not nearly as fast as petroleum based products. It is recommended you clean out your cube frequently if you use this.

=== White Lithium Grease ===
There are some mixed results of this lubricant, but it does work fairly well. The cube will have a sticky feeling after using it, though it wears off after some [[breaking-in]].

=== Furniture Polish ===
Some furniture polishes such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Sheen Mr Sheen] and [http://www.uclean.com/catalog/productInfo/chemicals/polishes/johnson_shine_up_polish_32_oz_lemon.html Shine-Up Polish] contain silicone and can be a cheap and widely available lubricant. Reviews are mixed with some reporting a positive result, while others aren't convinced.

=== Graphite Powder ===
A dry, oil-free solution. Reduces the 'sticky' feeling, but causes cube to turn less smoothly.
