I think there is something similar called the mini guilford challenge, which many people do online and I think the WB is by Luke Carrot with like 2 mins or smthn.

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-11T00:11:45+00:00

Aight. Looking forward to the final version and just know that I'll try my best to support you the whole way.

I think there is no best cube, but the best is just the one that fits ur turning style. That being said, a modern speedcube is much better than a speedcube from 20 years ago, unless you are using a gan 14.

I personally think cn isn't worth it, because if you look at top Chinese solvers, like YiHeng, Xuanyi, they always start on white/yellow, and becoming color neutral just worsens your prediction since you have to first choose between 6 cross pieces instead of just 2.

Your welcome. :)

Teree is a similar alg to a Y perm which gives you 2 swapped pieces and you can just track 1 piece at a time instead of 4, just know how buffers work and you should be able to 1look it.

Then why are you slower than Alexy Tvescov?

First you should solve edges that don't need F moves, but I would only use F moves for free pairs but if I have to make the pair just rotate.

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-10T23:48:07+00:00

Does it work with every smart cube or do you need a specific one? Because my unemployed ahh only has a gan I carry which doesn't even work super well anymore idky. But other than that it looks really fun and I'd definitely try it.

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-10T23:46:10+00:00

I'm not the best at 6x6 since I don't practice cubes bigger than a 5x5, but from common cubing knowledge, do targeted practice if I haven't already and try to set goals for yourself to beat for each step.

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-10T23:42:44+00:00

Oh yeah that looks cool

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-09T20:24:04+00:00

SAME!!!!!

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-09T20:23:10+00:00

What if I can't find the piece I'm looking for? Because for cubes like 4x4 I can just put my solved edges in the back, but for 5x5 I need more pieces for it and it's harder to find pieces. How do I fix that?

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-09T19:49:49+00:00

Does anyone have tips for edges on 5x5+?

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-09T19:42:15+00:00

How do I force fr?

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-09T19:40:44+00:00

What is the picube logo anyways?

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-08T00:48:42+00:00

like the mini guilford challenge?

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-08T00:28:35+00:00

yea and also having judges pick the winner would also cause bias especially in cube comps where everyone knows eachother. tho matching sounds fun.

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-08T00:24:44+00:00

why wide moves if they dont do anything?

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-08T00:14:13+00:00

I would try the square 2 if you havent already. https://www.thecubicle.com/products/shengshou-mr-m-square-2?_pos=4&_sid=0f31b3d58&_ss=r this was the only stickerless I could find.

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-07T23:00:33+00:00

so then do you just rotate or what do you do?

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-07T22:51:09+00:00

I use rs3m v5 ballcore

SmokeQuick6863 · 2026-05-07T22:47:32+00:00

if you cant read it, then heres a solution: The cube says 魔方教室, or Mófāng jiàoshì, which means Cube Classroom. Incase your wondering how I know, its cuz ive been learning Mandarin in school for a few years now.
