QUOTE(fireace123 @ Nov 18 2008, 07:54 PM) erm... o...i understand now for instance, take white as R and green as U, the white sticker of the edges should be all facing R, the green sticker should be facing U, that's called "correct edges", anything apart from that, it's a bad ones. If the white edges aren't in R face, you can make some U and R moves to see whether it's correct or not, same applies to green ones. Hope it helps. |

i got both of them from this forum, not really remember what's the title, but should be cube collection something.
Or you can get it online from mefferts.com, I heard the shipping to Malaysia is free. Btw, the megaminx and pyraminx I bought isn't really nice in turning, if you are going for speed, buy mefferts' ones. |

Quackery in speedcubing?
How many of you agreed that before speedcubing a solved cube must be first scrambled before the audience of your choice - mostly for youtube viewers or other means - as part of the video evident to convince? A lots of showcase I saw on youtube neglect this important aspect of speedcubing. Most would just pick up seemingly randomised cube to begin with. The reason for doubt here being you can practice offhand to memorise, and improve moves efficiency the same scrambled cube used for the video recording without change. Not doubt with the same scrambled cube practiced relentlessly improvement over personal best in time can be recorded. For me, although I’m still new in speedcubing, the ideal methodology is to use some facility online to scramble a solved cube before speedcubing. Starting from the scrambling step, as provided by any facility, until the final solution should all be recorded in one continuous video. Here, the given scrambling algorithm and actual scrambling of a solved cube must be seen before one can start speedcubing. There should be not black out scenes, etc. the same cube must be visible all the time till the end. Just my thought. If you have any valid view to disqualify it, please share. |

True, most important is he cant cheat in the real competition.
so the real winners in rubiks championships are truly the fastest. no other ppl shall prove that they are fastest without going to the real competition. |

Never heard the high profile case of Milan Baticz vs. Matyas Kuti in the competitive cubing worlds before? The general consensus goes with Milan Baticz that Matyas Kuti is a cheater. Following was taken from Milan Baticz own words. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « …be very careful. They also said your words are your final stand. They either fly or permanently grounded. |
