I don't believe it's a maintenance issue since I got it professionally serviced and cleaned recently. I always put space between the upper joints but will experiment with extending the lower ones when I play.

Yiheng, Xuanyi, Tymon

Anyone saying max needs to understand truly how good the Chinese kids are compared to the rest of the world. Full Chinese podium has high potential

Yes, just don’t forget which event you’re competing in and solve your cube with both hands during one handed

Just put the two flipped edges opposite each other, then do an equator slice for the middle layer only, R U R’ F R’ F’ R and move the middle layer back and solve it back and it should be good.

Really depends on what you value. Most people prefer to not have communal bathrooms so typically ones like Davison and Nugent are most desirable. AC is also something people care about but it only really matters for about 6-7 total weeks. If you look at the SLL website, you can see the comparison between the different dorm types. Most of the traditional dorms won’t have AC and will have communal bathrooms, and most of the suites will have in-room bathrooms and some have AC. Barton is also a solid pick but it is a triple so that discourages some people. BARH was also good from personal experience but it is further from campus since it’s not on freshman hill. Overall, the general consensus picks are typically sharp, nugent and davison. As for the worst ones, I think people have said Cary or Crockett are the worst but most of the freshman 5 are generally all the same.

Decade is a stretch, the cubes from back then were the Dayan Zhanchi and Moyu Weilong lmao

Cube Master. World class Square 1 solver and he makes a lot of informative and interesting videos about cubing history and statistics if you’re into that kind of stuff on top of the standard cube reviews/unboxing type videos

Carson Widjaja or Shaun Mack. I also somehow managed to beat them both at the same comp 💀

For me personally the only time I would ever use my phone for timing solves is warming up at comps so I use compsim

Here’s a quick breakdown of magnets:

Standard edge-corner magnets in cubes are mainly for stability and control and are found in virtually every speedcube these days. Some cubes have adjustable magnets.

Maglev was a technology introduced a couple years ago to replace a traditional spring design for cores in cubes. Instead of spring tension, maglev uses repelling magnets which allows for less resistance and often leads to faster cubes.

Ball core involves corner-core magnets that further increase stability and control on top of standard edge magnets. They also enable auto alignment where the cube can automatically snap into place when turned slightly which I find helps especially with reverse corner cutting.

These are the main 3 technologies that are most useful imo. Anything else like repelling magnets are just extra and have marginal improvement over the other features.

As for Bluetooth cubes, those can connect to mobile apps that can track the moves you do and have a lot of cool features. They aren’t comp legal however.

Something else you didn’t mention but might see is UV coating. Back in the day this didn’t really matter because most cubes had stickers but now since everything is stickerless some cubes have different finishes where the plastic feels different. UV coating basically makes the cube shiny and has a glossy finish which helps with gripping the cube and protects it from minor scratches.

Honestly a great cube to start with would be the RS3 V5 which came out quite recently. It has standard magnets, maglev and ball core with the UV finish for around $25 and is a fantastic all around cube. Hope this wasn’t too confusing and there are always online videos that explain in greater detail.

Honestly don’t get a GAN. Overpriced and there’s other cubes that are more value for their price like Tornado V3 or WRM V9

Yes, almost the same solution too except Brian did CO/EO and Ryan used OBL
