Alright, thanks for the info........

By the way, is there any modified method of 2-look OLL and PLL for Megaminx???

I don't really understand why, but Rubik's brand cube at Toys R Us are the most expensive cubes, and yet their turnings are some of the worst turnings you can get......

Lol, and their reaction will be even bigger when I'm solving a 7x7x7......

Do you mean the Malaysia record or the world record???

Malaysia best record is Mohamad Azraei 11.28 seconds:

World record holder is Erik Akkersdijk from Netherlands, with the time 7.08 seconds:

So far I know certificate will be given for participants......

Not sure about the selling of merchandise though......
Maybe you can try to ask around the Malaysian Cube Forum:

Does anyone knows where can I get a stackmat timer??? The 1 used in official competition???

I found 1 selling at Malaysia Cube forum, just that I'm not sure whether it's reliable or not.....

Yar, so far I didn't see any store selling before......

Lol, and notice that only few of us posting in this thread........

Thanks for the link by the way....

By the way, the price for the timer is quite expensive.......

Don't think I will get 1 for now.......

Just wanna share with you all.....for those who have the stackmat timer......

I tried it out, it works.......

This thread is so dead......lol....

Not much cubers among the Lowyat forum members perhaps???

I don't think there's any store selling those puzzles yet, unless you're talking about chinaminx or china brand 7x7x7, lol......

So, probably you have to buy from websites....

And yeah, Rubik's brand cubes turns badly......finger tricks is impossible.....
From 2x2x2 to 5x5x5, none of it turns well......

Wanted to have it, but don't know where to get 1....

Where did you get yours???

You mean the stackmat timer???
I bought 1 during Malaysian Cube Open 2009, the timer itself already costs me RM88.....haven't include the stackmat.....

Not sure where you can get it, but you can try to ask around at this group:

Hmm, quite a good time, consider you're using the beginner's method......

You can try searching around the Internet for F2L algorithms.....even though you're not encouraged to memorize them, but it's a way to start.....

By the way, you might wanna learn 2-Look OLL and full PLL.....which can cut down your time quite a lot also.....

I'm looking for replacement stickers also, too bad it's for Square-1, which I don't think there's any shops around here would be selling it.......

Hmm, basically the thing which slowed you down is the delay when you stop and look for the F2L pair....
You can try to avoid that by looking at the next pair already while you're inserting 1......of course, this needs some practice.....

By the way, try to execute OLL and PLL faster also.......then you should be at least able to sub-40 in average soon......

Yar, try practicing a lot, then you might be able to start looking forward....

It's ok with cube rotation actually, normally when you've developed the 'looking forward' skill, you would be doing something like inserting a pair while rotating the cube to look for the next pair........that's what I'm doing......

Hmm, I'm bad in back insertion also, in fact, I don't think I'm using it though......

But with my current technique, I've already achieved sub-30 average before......

Hmm, this is what I found out also while solving, I tend to do the R U R' U' more smoothly compared to L' U' L U.......
In fact, I'm a left handle.....but I don't think that matters anyway.......

You would have to do cube rotations sometimes, if you find the angle of insertion the pair uncomfortable.....not sure whether that'll slow down much.....
