there is a way where all you have to learn is 20 F2L algs what I do is put the corner piece in the U layer, with the D layer color in either the F or R faces....

A few tips on this: First, it may help you to use moves that involve just two faces, like R and U, avoiding moves that use more than 3 faces. This may make...
Any skewbers out there? I have a pb of 15sec, I had to stop speed skewbing though because i wore mine out. It was my only one. I have to find another one...
I cant even solve it. My "centers" are always wrong, but the corners I can do. Any tips? -Tyler Robbins <http://www.thepuzzlestore.com/> www.thepuzzlestore.com...
I just went to the hardware store today to buy some fine grit sandpaper and some silicone spray for my cube hoping I could make it a bit faster. I bought the...
Whats the first thing you 17-23īsec speedsolvers does in the F2L? Do you use pieces from the opposite side of the cross first or do you connect the ones that...
Nathan, I use low grade sandpaper for the big nodules sticking out, then go over the pieces with the finest grade I can find and that seems to work fine....
Mike, not quite sure what you are on about here. Please elaborate. Are you on about doing the cross, or are you on about choosing which edge-corner pairs to...
Ok sorry!!! Its the edge corner pairs I mean! When you have done the cross and starts with the pairs, what are the first kind of structure (relation between...
Mike, I guess people will tackle this problem in many different ways, and many of the ways would be equally valid. What I do is exactly what you describe...
Also make sure no excess "dust" got into the cube. It must be clean, from my experience, or it may mix with the silicone spray and gunk it up. ... From: D....
Does anyone know what kind of silicone based lube they sell at rubiks.com? I bought a cube kit from them and the lube was really nice. It's this oderless...

If your hands smell like the silicon spray, you probably used too much. I had no problem. You may want to open it up and clean it up a bit, reassemble it, and...
Meffets solution has nice algs to switch the centers. ($15!!! I remember getting mine at Kay Be Toys for $2 on clearance.. hehehehe times have changed)...

What cube do you plan to use for 5x5 speeding? -Tyler Robbins <http://www.thepuzzlestore.com/> www.thepuzzlestore.com Specializing in Custom Sequential...
The best lube to use on a cube is... BABY OIL (personally, I think it's better than silicon oil). Seriously, I love it. It makes the cube smells good too. C ...
I only have one 5x5x5 cube if thats what you mean. I was gonna try speed solving both 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 but my 4x4x4 is down. If ur asking for the make of the...
