Set a new personal best for a 3x3, 44 seconds. If I decide to practice more I could probably get it consistently around 45 seconds. :stuck_out_tongue:

22

my new personal is 23 :stuck_out_tongue:

OK I finally got around to watching the vid and Iā€™ve just been doing the top layer over and over again until its second nature. Once I get that Iā€™ll move my way down.

This stupid cube feels so stiff though.

so fast and smoothā€¦

25

what are the diy stickers? do you have to colour them youself or what?
I never really got in to cubing, my fastest time was like 5-ish minutes. But definitely something that would be fun to do. :slight_smile:

26

Lol noā€¦ Stickers are colored. Id get an assembled one so you cam dissassemble it so you know what the mechanism is

27

Also, sheng en stickers suck

Cubesmith.com

Good stickers there!

28

Want to get back into cubing. Should I get a regular Rubikā€™s cube brand at walmart today. Or get the FII and wait for it to ship hereā€¦ hmmmm
Also can you lube your cube with YYJ thin lube XD

^^^ EPIC RHYME

29

I tried thin lube, it is not the best.

30

Oh, ok. I might just get a regular Rubikā€™s cube just to play with it. Then if I get serious about speed cubing (is that what its called?) then Iā€™ll get the F2.

31

NONONONO no thin lubeā€¦ but, if you have an extra tube of flowable silicone, that will work!

it MUST be clear flowable sili, or your cubes goes junk :stuck_out_tongue:

32

Just got my generic Rubikā€™s cube today for walmartā€¦ and its so hard to turn.
Really!? Flowable siliconeā€¦ where do you put it lol

37

Sweet that helped a BUNCH! Gonna get a f2 soon. But until then I shall try this! Thanks ^.^

38

Got all the algorithms memorized up to the last layer, itā€™s actually pretty cool thing to do while youā€™re just sitting around! I could have already had everything if I was working towards it but I only pick up the cube when I think about it, haha.

Iā€™ve been doing the first two layers over and over and over again, Iā€™m going to start learning the final layer today.

39

so, when are ya planning to learn the first two layers in one step :smiley:
