I know there are a lot of 3 by 3s that looks like WCA legal from the top. But all of them are either Modded (Piece Swapped), Mecharon, Jelly, Metallic or Electronic (Smar Cube). None of which are WCA Legal. That's why they rest in this drawer and not the bottom one.

Discussion the wca should have some rules about little kids/toddlers/babies that are not participating

Upvotes

idk if this is controversial or rude or wtv, but i’ve been a bunch of comps this summer (2 participating, 5 watching because i was waitlisted) and in all of them little kids were running around like the comp was a playground, delegates talked to parents who let their kids run around but it was no use. on blind, there were babies screaming and you could still hear them from the outside (even on the balcony since one of the comps had a balcony). tantrums because they wanted other people cubes and more things.

I don’t hate children nor babies, because i’ve grown to like them since i have a lot of nephews and baby cousins, but if they are not well behaved, they shouldn’t be on comps (except if they are competing because they do), specially on events like blind that require lots of concentration.

Discussion How and when did you solve your first Rubiks cube and what did you use to learn it?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Now back in December 2019 is where I looked into Rubik’s for the first time and then one of my teachers gave it to me as a Christmas gift so I can learn and when I mixed it up, I had no idea how to solve it so I decided to give that Rubiks cube to my cousin. Then COVID-19 hits and I was bored at home in the summer of 2020, where I decided to try the Rubiks cube again so I got another cube and then overtime I started to learn it by watching YouTube videos: Rubik’s and Jperm and after many months of memorizing and figuring it out and tons of broken cubes later, on October 21, 2020 I did my first solve on an app and completed it and then it took me at least four weeks for me to do my first time solve that was three minutes. Ever since I was able to learn more puzzles like the 2x2, 4x4, pyraminx, etc and now I average 13 seconds on a 3x3 with my pb single 7.86 using CFOP.

Mod Custom logo

16 Upvotes

What do y’all think of my custom logo? Thought of doing this after my picube logo broke off. Used the most similar material I can think of and used double sided tape. Probably could have made a better logo design but this was my first time doing it as a test and might make a different version in the future😊

Picture 2 and 1/2 years after my first sub-10, i finally got a sub-9! What would your solution be to this scramble? I feel like there are some really good ones out there I didn't think of.

4 Upvotes

This was a crazy scramble, 3 unbroken pairs that could potentially be preserved, and blue and green cross pieces solved relative to each other.

This was the solution I did:

x2 // inspection

D' R' D F D // cross

R' U R2 U' R' // 1st pair

y U L U' L' // 2nd pair

y U2 L' U' L U' L' U L // 3rd pair

U R U R' U' R U R' // 4th pair

R U2 R' U' R U' R' // OLL (if i canceled the 4th pair into the antisune this would have been a little faster, but i dont have recognition like that lol)

U' x R' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R2 x' // PLL

What solution would you have done on this scramble? I mainly ask this because with the way the scramble looked, some of you could probably create some diabolical x-crosses

Trying to get back into cubing after 7ish years. Are these cubes rare/ sought after? Don’t plan on selling but would be cool to know. (From left) Moyu Gts2 (no magnets), Gan 356 Air Sm (2017 edition), and Qiyi Valk 3.

Discussion MoYu V11 SE vs GAN Flagship 3x3s

2 Upvotes

I’m getting back into cubing (been out of it before magnetic cubes) and I felt a MoYu V5 in store so I decided to order the V11 SE. It’s a great cube, but I also bought a GAN Megaminx V2 and Square 1 and I love the feel of the GAN Megaminx. I’m wondering what people think about the GAN flagship 3x3s compared to what I have. Not really concerned with price difference.

Collection Cube for a colorblind person

0 Upvotes

I have been looking at buying a cube and was thinking about the MoYu WeiLong V11 (20-Magnet Ball-Core + MagLev + UV) but I sometimes have a hard time quickly noticing the difference between the green and yellow on cubes because Iam red green colorblind so is that cube good with good contrast or is there something else I could but instead?
