It is the first last-layer step in many speedsolving methods, including the [[Fridrich Method]]. OLL is usually followed by [[PLL]].<br /> <br /> == Terminology ==<br /> '''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]].<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[OLL (2x2x2)]]<br /> * [[2-Look OLL]]<br /> * [[PLL]]<br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> <br /> * [http://www.kungfoomanchu.com/#333oll Printable OLL PDF] (All OLL algs in one page and color coded)<br /> * [http://mordred.awardspace.us/OLLCheatSheet.pdf OLL Cheat Sheet] (Printable PDF of all OLL algorithms on 2 pages. Can be printed Double Sided)<br /> <br /> &lt;br&gt;{{OLL}}<br /> <br /> =OLL Algorithms:=<br /> 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].<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> The bars sticking off to the side of an unshaded piece represent where the [[sticker]] that needs to be on top is.<br /> <br /> {{Algnote}}<br /> <br /> ==All edges flipped correctly==<br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> {{OCLL}}<br /> <br /> ==No edges flipped correctly==<br /> {|border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;

<p>Theanonymouscuber: /* Differential Oil */</p> <hr /> <div>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.<br /> <br /> <br /> The following two general terms are used to characterise the friction effects of a lubricant:<br /> * '''Static Friction''' - force required to initiate a turn.<br /> * '''Dynamic Friction''' - resistance felt during the turn.<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> == Silicon-Based ==<br /> Silicon-based lubricants are a highly popular and effective way to lubricate cubes.<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> ===Lubix Cube===<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> ===Rubik's Lube===<br /> This is the lube that comes in a syringe-like container when you order from Rubiks.com. It can be found at <br /> <br /> [http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.37986~C.12332011TXFCIVEFR! Rubiks Original Lube at lightake.com] .<br /> <br /> ===Maru Lubricant===<br /> 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.<br /> [http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.30344~C.12332011TXFCIVEFR! Maru Lube at Lightake]<br /> <br /> ===Cubelube.com===<br /> This is the exact same lube as sold on Rubiks.com, only with different packaging and a different site. The price is also cheaper than Rubiks.com; this particular lube is found at [http://cubelube.com/ cubelube.com].<br /> <br /> ===Jig-A-Loo===<br /> 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] <br /> <br /> ===CRC Silicone Spray===<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> ===Tableau Dry Lube===<br /> 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.<br /> @see [http://www.tableauproducts.com/ tableauproducts.com]<br /> <br /> ===Shock Oil===<br /> 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?&amp;I=LX3303&amp;P=7 wt10], [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&amp;I=LX3304&amp;P=M wt20] and [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&amp;I=LX3305&amp;P=M wt30] (shipping is expensive, but available worldwide).<br /> * Speedsolving.com : [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17011 What type of Shock oil]<br /> <br /> ===Differential Oil===<br /> 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&amp;_trksid=m570&amp;_nkw=50%2C000wt+silicone+diff+oil&amp;_sacat=See-All-Categories on eBay].<br /> * [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?30890-High-Viscosity-Differential-Oil-Thread&amp;highlight=differential New Speedsolving.com discussion]<br /> <br /> ===Maplin Silicone Grease with PTFE===<br /> 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&amp;C=SO&amp;U=strat15 maplin.co.uk]<br /> <br /> ===Armour All original protectant===<br /> 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]<br /> <br /> ===Other silicone lubricants===<br /> * W5 Silicone Oil - available from LIDL stores across Europe<br /> * [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.<br /> * Wynn's Silicone Lube - From 'A1', a UK motoring spares store.<br /> * Rapide silicone spray - Available from UK stores.<br /> * [http://www.griffon.nl/NL/nl1/view.do?UID=785d650ff44f636290695a Griffon] - Available in the Netherlands<br /> * [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4695 Prestone]<br /> * [http://www.spraywayinc.com/products.php?id=945 Sprayway]<br /> * Gyrolon Universal Silikonspray - Available in the german dicounter ALDI<br /> * OK/Q8 SILKON SPRAY, avaiable in Sweden, much like CRC but does not dry out as fast.<br /> <br /> == Petroleum-Based ==<br /> 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. <br /> <br /> ===Vaseline===<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> ===WD-40===<br /> 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.<br /> It is recommended you '''do not use this'''. If you must, however, you should wash or wipe it off after about half an hour.<br /> <br /> ===Liquid Wrench===<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> == Miscellaneous Other Lubricants ==<br /> <br /> === Cooking No-stick Spray ===<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> === White Lithium Grease ===<br /> 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]].<br /> <br /> === Furniture Polish ===<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> === Graphite Powder ===<br /> A dry, oil-free solution. Reduces the 'sticky' feeling, but causes cube to turn less smoothly.<br /> <br /> <br /> == External Links ==<br /> * YouTube: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ppbBM11UYc How to lubricate a Rubik's cube] - standard method (by Jh543)<br /> * YouTube: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v0UiJsXb8A How to Lube Your Rubik's Cube] - standard method, inc 4x4x4 (by VanquishSDude)<br /> * YouTube: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tarWH5BCZVw How to Lube Your Cube] - disassembling the cube (by biggajigga721)<br /> * YouTube: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtOHpSyfjd8 Rubik's Cube Lubrication experiment] (by badmephisto)<br /> <br /> * Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5584 Which silicone lubricant to use, and where to get?]<br /> * Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15450 Jigaloo Vs Crc]<br /> * Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9801 What Lube and Where to get it from?] (UK Lube)<br /> * Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12822 UK Cubing Lubricant]<br /> * Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14477 Shock Oil]<br /> * Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9380 Lubricant Other than Silicone Spray]<br /> * Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23260 Shock Oil VS.

[[Joël van Noort]] copied it into his signature (F R U R' U' F' is a Y- perm, b-i-t-c-h-e-s) to remember about the incident. In April 2010, he made a [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?20516-Do-you-understand-what-my-signature-is-about thread] asking if anyone understood what his signature was about, and included a poll. Only about 40% of the voters claimed no, although only a hand full of people actually knew the true meaning of the signature. Many users who were relatively new to the speedcubing community claimed that they knew what it was about because if you performed F R U R' U' F', it swaps two opposite corners and two adjacent edges just like the Y permutation PLL if you disregard the orientation of the pieces. Of course, this was not what Joël was asking, that was only an explanation of why the algorithm is like a Y-perm, not an explanation of where it is from and who originally said it. In the #Rubik chat one day, someone logged, said &quot;F R U R' U' F&quot; is a Y-perm, bitches,&quot; and left.<br /> <br /> == Smerbia (2008) ==<br /> * Also see: [[Smerbia]]<br /> * Since 2008, Andrew Nelson has represented the country of Smerbia for the [[Negative Time Solving Contest]].

The very first reply in the thread by user daeyoungyoon pointed out the obvious fact that this method was essentially a simplified form of the Petrus method. Other forum members also noticed the similarity and took it upon themselves to make their thoughts known by quoting the most recent use of &quot;or you could just use petrus&quot; and posting the exact same thing.

It is applied almost exclusively to user ben1996123 ([http://worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2009WHIT01 Ben Whitmore]).<br /> <br /> ben1996123 posted several videos in late 2009 and early 2010 that were severely flamed for being blatantly rehearsed (e.g. [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?18905-8.16-second-3x3-solve-%28with-scramble-and-solution%29 8.16 second 3x3 solve (with scramble and solution)]). These videos showed extremely fast, some sub-9, single times with correspondingly ridiculously easy solutions, along with poor fingertricks and blatantly rehearsed reactions afterward. Understandably, the forums had its haxxor detector on max mode. ben1996123's defense, which started by providing Cube Explorer-generated scrambles and solutions, degenerated into rants protesting that his solves were genuine. Subsequent posts by ben1996123 were also flamed, until the community realized the futility of long flames. Instead, the term &quot;lolben&quot; was coined to flame with ease.<br /> <br /> The term is now used whenever users encounter an erroneous claim, a fake video, or even just a funny moment. As [[Jules Manalang|Waffo]] says, &quot;tl;dr - lolben because lolben is lol.&quot;<br /> <br /> == Breaking the Habit (September 2009) ==<br /> This started as a small inside joke from the Canadian Open 2009 competition in Toronto. On the second day of the competition during a lunch break, Justin Jaffray (user JustinJ) had a habit of looking down at the timer during PLL very good and very bad solves. Brendon Hemsley (user Reisen Bunny) suggested that he broke his bad habit by looking in the opposite direction at the end of his solves. That was where the fun began. Rather than looking down at the timer, some of the cubers who were sitting at the table would finish a solve then suddenly turn to whoever was sitting next to them and stare at their face. Justin, Brendon, and later Forte Shinko (user Forte) decided to do this during official solves. During each of these solves, when they were on the last turn, then would slam the cube (or whatever puzzle they were solvign) down and immediately quickly turn to the judge and give them a blank expression. Those who were watching their solves, or were the ones who were judging the solves that had no idea what was going on were probably thinking &quot;wtf...&quot;. One of each of their &quot;habit-free&quot; solves were filmed and were uploaded to Youtube ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Ebwr2xjBA video]). The best reaction was the Mike Mallon's (Brendon's judge's) reaction. When Brenden finished his 4x4 solve he slid close to him, gave him a stare with a serious expression on his face, then got up walked away. Habit-breaking is still practiced among a few cubers.<br /> <br /> == How to pronounce North American cubers' names (January 2010) ==<br /> A hilarious [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzM4iyJk8Ak video] made by Chester Lian, in which he parodies Erik Akkersdijk's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE51v-dsS5g &quot;How to pronounce Dutch cubers' names&quot;] and Sinpei Araki's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt4j9LitDHE &quot;How to pronounce Japanese cubers' names&quot;]. In the video, Chester speaks with a fake Asian accent and pretends to knows how to pronounce various cuber's names, mostly ones from Canada and the USA. He also made up nicknames and alternate spellings for some of the names. Some of the notable names include: Tyson ROF2L-Mao, Dan Koen, Mike Hug-Hey, Forte &quot;chingchingchongchong&quot; Piano, and Chuck &quot;Norris&quot; . Chester first came up with the idea for the video in late 2009, and the term &quot;gogovid&quot; was used to encourage him to get around to make the video.

(February 2010)==<br /> <br /> A drunk man uploaded a video on Youtube calling out Sa967St (Sarah Strong) after he saw a video of her official 10.21 3x3 solve. Throughout the video he drinks a 40oz bottle of malt liquor while trying to reason out why she should quit cubing and make a malt liquor video. He repeates the lines &quot;I'm calling you out&quot;, &quot;time to make a malt liquor video&quot;, &quot;run down to your nearest store and get yoruself a 40&quot;, and several others.

Upon reading the description, many people immediately picked up that it was just CLL. It was pretty obvious that Thom was just joking and many people joined in on the fun while others were not entertained by the thread even though it was just for fun. Joey Gouly said so himself &quot;This thread really was just for fun!

He times the solve with qqtimer and starts the timer with the magic in his hands and also stops the timer with the magic in his hands. Since he breaks several rules of timing a magic solve according to the WCA regulations, he was not taken seriously. Several users pointed out to him that what he did was not considered a &quot;solve&quot; since it was undoubfully a DNF, but he replied with &quot;but can anyone do it faster?&quot; David Woner, Feliks Zemdegs, Jules Manalang and several other wrote back saying &quot;I did it in [insert time under 0.50 seconds] but [insert something that clearly makes ths solve a DNF], can anyone do it faster?&quot; They also posted videos demonstrating fast magic 'solves', which included solving it into a clearly unsolved state, timing it with a keyboard, and editing the solve by cutting out most of the solve.

The thread has a poll with seven options of &quot;Speedcubin&quot;, all identical. This was clearly a troll thread (goatseforever has made many in the past), but several users decided to have fun with it and post about which Speedcubin was best. Many image macros with Speedcubin written on them were posted. An eighth poll option of &quot;Speedclubbin&quot; was added later by a moderator, which was an attempt to destroy the chain of speedcubin posts.

Upon browsing the selection, Sarah Strong was puzzled when she saw a bottle of Orangina and she asked &quot;What's Orangina?&quot;, pronouncing it incorrectly (oh-ran-gy-nah). The group proceeded to break into hysterical laughter. As the laughing receded, one of the cubers in the group told her that the name of the drink is actually pronounced oh-ran-GEE-nah and so was the start of the meme. That night, Chris Tran, Sarah Strong, Waffo, and several others spammed the US Nationals 2010 thread of this discovery as they posted pictures of Orangina ads from the same hotel room. On the third day of US Nationals 2010, Orangina was the joke among that small group, and Ethan Crislip bought several 1L bottles of the carbonated beverage just to try it. Waffo wanted to time it and his first attempt at the bottle was 5x.xx. Soon after Felix Lee and Chris Tran followed Waffo's attempt but were unable to break it. The chugging drew in a crowd as Waffo attempted another 1L of Orangina only a few hours after his first attempt, racing with Sarah Strong, Ryan Reese, and Stachu Korick. He broke his previous UWR with a 48.46 and threw up mere minutes later. Waffo still practices Orangina chugging to date.<br /> <br /> After US Nationals was over, Orangina was a wide spread story on the Speedsolving Forums as people changed they avatars to Orangina logos and bottles for quite a while. Many people have tried to take Waffo's throne at a competition but were unable to beat the 48.46 set at US Nationals 2010.<br /> <br /> Waffo holds the current UWR for chugging a 1L glass bottle of Orangina (starting with the cap off) at 30.02 seconds.<br /> <br /> * YouTube: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZNe8sgbdIo Waffle 48.46 Orangina UWR (former)]<br /> * Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?26006-Orangina-Fail.....

They were talking about Lady Gaga and Waffo was saying how he didn't have a good first impressioin of her music, but after he listened to a variety of her songs he liked her music more. Stachu agreed and meant to reply &quot;same thing happed to me with some other bands&quot;, but instead of &quot;bands&quot; he typed &quot;pants&quot;. Waffo found this typo hilarious and spammed some threads on the speedsolving forum with &quot;same thing happened to me with some other pants&quot;. [[Dan Cohen]] banned him for one day for spamming. Waffo recieved a message from him saying &quot;You have been banned for the following reason: Too many pants.&quot; <br /> Regardless of him being temporarily banned, this meme gets brought up on occasion. Some users mistook this phrase for something along the lines of &quot;same thing happened to me in someone else's pants&quot;, and posts like that also come up on occasion.<br /> <br /> == Zeroing (November 2010) ==<br /> Supposedly [[Feliks Zemdegs]]'s secret method, zeroing is a hoax started by the following post by Anthony Brooks on the Speedsolving Forums: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?25488-National-IQ-test-Channel-9-Feliks-Zemdegs-s-solve&amp;p=484856&amp;viewfull=1#post484856 post]: &quot;Feliks got the nickname Faz because of the method he uses actually.

In April 2010, he made a [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?20516-Do-you-understand-what-my-signature-is-about thread] asking if anyone understood what his signature was about, and included a poll. Only about 40% of the voters claimed no, although only a hand full of people actually knew the true meaning of the signature. Many users who were relatively new to the speedcubing community claimed that they knew what it was about because if you performed F R U R' U' F', it swaps two opposite corners and two adjacent edges just like the Y permutation PLL if you disregard the orientation of the pieces. Of course, this was not what Joël was asking, that was only an explanation of why the algorithm is like a Y-perm, not an explanation of where it is from and who originally said it.

Rather than merely pointing out the absurdity of suggesting an event for a competition he was not attending, other users (first none other than Dene) soon started parodying his phrase, forming an ever-extending quote tree. Here are the first few examples:<br /> * i can't go because i live in New Zealand but you should do 6 and 7. just a suggestion<br /> * i can't go because i live in California but you should do magic BLD. just a suggestion<br /> * i can't go because i live in New Jersey but you should do a 2x2 bdl [sic] round. just a suggestion<br /> * i can't go because i live in New York but you should do a tehtreball [sic] round. just a suggestion<br /> * i can't go because i live in great britain but you should do a [[ball-in-cup]] round. just a suggestion<br /> * i can't go because i live in Texas but you should do a mini chess tournament as a side event. just a suggestion<br /> * i can't go because i live in Canada but you should do a fihgt [sic] to the deth. just a suggestion<br /> These posts mirrored the capitalization and punctuation, and in some cases the misspelling of the event name, in the original message.

This quote tree won the award for the &quot;best quote tree&quot; in the 2009 Forum Awards.<br /> <br /> == lolben (2009) ==<br /> [[File:Lolben.jpg|thumb|250px|An example of a lolben moment]]<br /> <br /> &quot;lolben&quot; is a phrase used to flame or lightly ridicule users on the Speedsolving Forums. It is applied almost exclusively to user ben1996123 ([http://worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2009WHIT01 Ben Whitmore]).<br /> <br /> ben1996123 posted several videos in late 2009 and early 2010 that were severely flamed for being blatantly rehearsed (e.g. [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?18905-8.16-second-3x3-solve-%28with-scramble-and-solution%29 8.16 second 3x3 solve (with scramble and solution)]). These videos showed extremely fast, some sub-9, single times with correspondingly ridiculously easy solutions, along with poor fingertricks and blatantly rehearsed reactions afterward. Understandably, the forums had its haxxor detector on max mode. ben1996123's defense, which started by providing Cube Explorer-generated scrambles and solutions, degenerated into rants protesting that his solves were genuine. Subsequent posts by ben1996123 were also flamed, until the community realized the futility of long flames. Instead, the term &quot;lolben&quot; was coined to flame with ease.<br /> <br /> The term is now used whenever users encounter an erroneous claim, a fake video, or even just a funny moment. As [[Jules Manalang|Waffo]] says, &quot;tl;dr - lolben because lolben is lol.&quot;<br /> <br /> == Breaking the Habit (September 2009) ==<br /> This started as a small inside joke from the Canadian Open 2009 competition in Toronto. On the second day of the competition during a lunch break, Justin Jaffray (user JustinJ) had a habit of looking down at the timer during PLL very good and very bad solves. Brendon Hemsley (user Reisen Bunny) suggested that he broke his bad habit by looking in the opposite direction at the end of his solves. That was where the fun began. Rather than looking down at the timer, some of the cubers who were sitting at the table would finish a solve then suddenly turn to whoever was sitting next to them and stare at their face. Justin, Brendon, and later Forte Shinko (user Forte) decided to do this during official solves. During each of these solves, when they were on the last turn, then would slam the cube (or whatever puzzle they were solvign) down and immediately quickly turn to the judge and give them a blank expression. Those who were watching their solves, or were the ones who were judging the solves that had no idea what was going on were probably thinking &quot;wtf...&quot;. One of each of their &quot;habit-free&quot; solves were filmed and were uploaded to Youtube ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Ebwr2xjBA video]). The best reaction was the Mike Mallon's (Brendon's judge's) reaction. When Brenden finished his 4x4 solve he slid close to him, gave him a stare with a serious expression on his face, then got up walked away. Habit-breaking is still practiced among a few cubers.<br /> <br /> == How to pronounce North American cubers' names (January 2010) ==<br /> A hilarious [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzM4iyJk8Ak video] made by Chester Lian, in which he parodies Erik Akkersdijk's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE51v-dsS5g &quot;How to pronounce Dutch cubers' names&quot;] and Sinpei Araki's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt4j9LitDHE &quot;How to pronounce Japanese cubers' names&quot;]. In the video, Chester speaks with a fake Asian accent and pretends to knows how to pronounce various cuber's names, mostly ones from Canada and the USA. He also made up nicknames and alternate spellings for some of the names. Some of the notable names include: Tyson ROF2L-Mao, Dan Koen, Mike Hug-Hey, Forte &quot;chingchingchongchong&quot; Piano, and Chuck &quot;Norris&quot; . Chester first came up with the idea for the video in late 2009, and the term &quot;gogovid&quot; was used to encourage him to get around to make the video. He intends on making a sequel in the near future.<br /> <br /> == I'm calling you out! Time to make a malt liquor video! (February 2010)==<br /> <br /> A drunk man uploaded a video on Youtube calling out Sa967St (Sarah Strong) after he saw a video of her official 10.21 3x3 solve. Throughout the video he drinks a 40oz bottle of malt liquor while trying to reason out why she should quit cubing and make a malt liquor video. He repeates the lines &quot;I'm calling you out&quot;, &quot;time to make a malt liquor video&quot;, &quot;run down to your nearest store and get yoruself a 40&quot;, and several others. She made a [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?19072-Drunk-guy-calling-me-out thread] for the video on the speedsolving forum. The user removed the video off of Youtube after many members of the speedcubing community commented on his video.<br /> <br /> On Sarah's 19th birthday (19 is the legal drinking age in Ontario, Canada), user Reisen Bunny made a [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?26635-SELA-IS-LEGAL-DRINKING-AGE-NEEDS-TO-MAKE-MALT-LIQUOR-VIDEO thread] to remind her that she needs to run down to the nearest store and get herself a 40. The thread had a poll asking if she should make a malt liquor video, and over 40 people votes 'yes'.<br /> <br /> Sarah is yet to make a malt liquor video.<br /> <br /> == OrtegaZB (February 2010) ==<br /> Late February, Thom Barlow introduced his method for solving the 2x2 cube basing of the Ortega Method called [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?19420-OrtegaZB/ &quot;OrtegaZB&quot;]. Upon reading the description, many people immediately picked up that it was just CLL. It was pretty obvious that Thom was just joking and many people joined in on the fun while others were not entertained by the thread even though it was just for fun. Joey Gouly said so himself &quot;This thread really was just for fun! Me and thom were just cubing (in a pub), and came up with the idea!&quot; Perhaps another alcohol fueled Thom Barlow moment. <br /> <br /> ==But can anybody do faster?== (May 2010)<br /> User ottothedog started a thread titled [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?21304-Possibly-the-Fastest-Almost-Not-Really-Magic-Solve Possibly the fastest magic solve], which included a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG9uNF3jQcQ video of him &quot;solving&quot; a magic in 0.50 seconds]. He times the solve with qqtimer and starts the timer with the magic in his hands and also stops the timer with the magic in his hands. Since he breaks several rules of timing a magic solve according to the WCA regulations, he was not taken seriously. Several users pointed out to him that what he did was not considered a &quot;solve&quot; since it was undoubfully a DNF, but he replied with &quot;but can anyone do it faster?&quot; David Woner, Feliks Zemdegs, Jules Manalang and several other wrote back saying &quot;I did it in [insert time under 0.50 seconds] but [insert something that clearly makes ths solve a DNF], can anyone do it faster?&quot; They also posted videos demonstrating fast magic 'solves', which included solving it into a clearly unsolved state, timing it with a keyboard, and editing the solve by cutting out most of the solve. Dan Cohen changed the title of the thread to &quot;Possibly the fastest almost not really magic solve&quot;.<br /> <br /> == Speedcubin? (June 2010) ==<br /> Speedcubin.<br /> <br /> This meme comes from thread titled [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?22233-Speedcubin Speedcubin?] by user goatseforever. The thread has a poll with seven options of &quot;Speedcubin&quot;, all identical. This was clearly a troll thread (goatseforever has made many in the past), but several users decided to have fun with it and post about which Speedcubin was best. Many image macros with Speedcubin written on them were posted. An eighth poll option of &quot;Speedclubbin&quot; was added later by a moderator, which was an attempt to destroy the chain of speedcubin posts. The thread had over 250 replies but it was closed about a week after it was posted.

One of the things he did was demand more rounds of BLD, in order to have more attempts to try to break his (former) 3x3 BLD world record.

Upon browsing the selection, Sarah Strong was puzzled when she saw a bottle of Orangina and she asked &quot;What's Orangina?&quot;, pronouncing it incorrectly (oh-ran-gy-nah). The group proceeded to break into hysterical laughter. As the laughing receded, one of the cubers in the group told her that the name of the drink is actually pronounced oh-ran-GEE-nah and so was the start of the meme. That night, Chris Tran, Sarah Strong, Waffo, and several others spammed the US Nationals 2010 thread of this discovery as they posted pictures of Orangina ads from the same hotel room. On the third day of US Nationals 2010, Orangina was the joke among that small group, and Ethan Crislip bought several 1L bottles of the carbonated beverage just to try it. Waffo wanted to time it and his first attempt at the bottle was 5x.xx. Soon after Felix Lee and Chris Tran followed Waffo's attempt but were unable to break it. The chugging drew in a crowd as Waffo attempted another 1L of Orangina only a few hours after his first attempt, racing with Sarah Strong, Ryan Reese, and Stachu Korick. He broke his previous UWR with a 48.46 and threw up mere minutes later. Waffo still practices Orangina chugging to date.<br /> <br /> After US Nationals was over, Orangina was a wide spread story on the Speedsolving Forums as people changed they avatars to Orangina logos and bottles for quite a while. Many people have tried to take Waffo's throne at a competition but were unable to beat the 48.46 set at US Nationals 2010.<br /> <br /> Waffo holds the current UWR for chugging a 1L glass bottle of Orangina (starting with the cap off) at 30.02 seconds.<br /> <br /> * YouTube: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZNe8sgbdIo Waffle 48.46 Orangina UWR (former)]<br /> * Speedsolving.com: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?26006-Orangina-Fail.....

They were talking about Lady Gaga and Waffo was saying how he didn't have a good first impressioin of her music, but after he listened to a variety of her songs he liked her music more. Stachu agreed and meant to reply &quot;same thing happed to me with some other bands&quot;, but instead of &quot;bands&quot; he typed &quot;pants&quot;. Waffo found this typo hilarious and spammed some threads on the speedsolving forum with &quot;same thing happened to me with some other pants&quot;. [[Dan Cohen]] banned him for one day for spamming. Waffo recieved a message from him saying &quot;You have been banned for the following reason: Too many pants.&quot; <br /> Regardless of him being temporarily banned, this meme gets brought up on occasion. Some users mistook this phrase for something along the lines of &quot;same thing happened to me in someone else's pants&quot;, and posts like that also come up on occasion.<br /> <br /> == Zeroing (November 2010) ==<br /> Supposedly [[Feliks Zemdegs]]'s secret method, zeroing is a hoax started by the following post by Anthony Brooks on the Speedsolving Forums: [http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?25488-National-IQ-test-Channel-9-Feliks-Zemdegs-s-solve&amp;p=484856&amp;viewfull=1#post484856 post]: &quot;Feliks got the nickname Faz because of the method he uses actually.
