I was wondering how many people cubed? Is that the correct term? I’m learning to solve a regular one since there’s a really cool gent teaching me if I show him to yoyo so I figured why not! So who here cubes? One handed? 4x4? Etc? ---

I can solve a 3x3 in about 55 seconds, 2x2 in 15, and a 5x5 in like 35 minutes lol. ---

I’m a speed cuber. My best average of 5 is 33.something, my best single is 26.something. I also do 4x4 and 2x2, but I want to go to bigger ones. I use Fridrich method rather than beginner’s. By the way, I think yoyoing and speed solving go together very well. ---

Great place to learn. Also visit his website, by the same name. To speed solve you will need a proper speed cube. I suggest a Dayan Guhong v2. Find them at [speedcubeshop.com](http://speedcubeshop.com) or Amazon. Finally, you will need lube. They all work, as long as you can find it on a cube shop website. ---

Hey cuber’s, Reading this made me bust out the Rubix 4x4 I got for christmas last year and try to solve it for the first time ever. I got it after a couple of hours. Since it is still new it is not broken in yet. Question: I have seen people lubing their cubes for better play and it seems that the CRC silicone stuff is recommended. I’m just looking around at what I have and was checking to see if anyone has tried Thin Lube on it. I am assuming that WD-40 would not be idea as it might leave it greasy. Ideas on yoyo Thin/Thick lube? ---
