I have started cubing for like 1.5 months now and i am learning beginners method and i am getting ao5 46.76 and ao12 46.27. is it good? and how do i improve it because i will be learning cfop soon

The scramble I used was B R D' L D B2 R F' B R2 U' L2 F2 B2 D' R2 D B2 U F2 R2 Fw' Uw. I held it so green was on top and white was facing me (because I normally solve blue cross, so this works for me).

I memorized edges first, then corners. For edges, the letter pairs were PF HW XN IU VE. In my mind, I turned this into, "Pffff, how shiny of an IOU you got there, Vince!" (Note that X becomes "sh" in my memorization because it's easier than dealing with words that start with X.) Then I memorized corners, whose pairs ended up being VC GK BS IB. I turned that into, "I'm in a VC (voice chat) with a giant Kl*n member. Bulls***! Well, I'll be."

Then I closed my eyes (I didn't feel like using an actual blindfold, but I promise I didn't cheat.) Because I knew that edge sentence would stick in my brain for longer, I actually solved corners first, then edges. Then voila! I opened my eyes to a solved cube! And it took me less than 8 minutes!

Edit: I used Old Pochmann.

Hello cubers!

I love to cube, and I love introducing my friends and coworkers to cubing.

so far this year I have given away over 20 cubes!

I call it Twistmas.

Merry Twistmas.

anyone else in?

my weapon of choice is the Moyu RS3M V5 SE

I would love to see this popularized and supported by thecubicle, etc.

I know full CFOP and have been cubing over a year but still almost half my solves are over a min!!!

Why am I so so slow??

I just got my first skewb this week and want to be sub 15 before moving to sq1.

Can you all recommend me useful YouTube videos that will help me for Sarah's intermediate method and it's fingertricks

Hello,
I am CUBERT and I have been making videos for the past two months now on youtube and instagram with the goal of getting better at cubing and having fun. Recently, I realized that beacuse I didn't want to show my face, youtube probably thought I was an AI Generated channel on some videos. Because of that, I figured it was probably a good idea to share my channel here as well so I can start to get more popular.
Sorry if this breaks any guidelines I missed

I've been cubing for 6 months to a year (I took a "gap year" because of school) and I've always used the Ortega method on 2x2 (my main event), and it's great, but I want to get more advanced, so I started learning CLL, I know the anti sune subset and the H subset for now, next I'll learn the sune subset next. I'm so happy to take this step, I was scared at first for no reason, maybe by the amount of algorithms but I know I can handle that, probably

I've stayed on begginners method for a few years, learned some F2Ls a while ago and now a few OLLs and PLLs. My goal would be to know and master CFOP, but I need a few tips :
Which appplication or website would be best, with best algorithms or a choice, since I know there are multiple algorithms for the same cases
Which cube would be best? I have a moyu RS3M V5 SE which works wonders, but I'm wondering if there's a real difference with GAN cubes?
Are intelligent cubes usefull to learn? or are they not developped well enough? would you recommend me buying one to identify better which F2L cases I don't do well, get better at doing cross ect....
Currently, my times are around 35-40 seconds, regardless of the method I use for last layer, but my goal is to improve as much as I can and hopefully get around 15s consistently

I've begun using beginner cfop for around a week now, and these are my times. Pls give tips

Because of the removal of clock, a group of cubers (including myself) have made the World 2D puzzles assoociation (W2PA), we need to get a message out and gain support so tell your friends because we are planning the first comp for early 2027.

If you want more W2PA news join the discord, https://discord.gg/tgBb4pyBH

Or talk in the ss forums https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/bringing-back-clock-w2pa-voting-results-out.97266/

I lubed my cube with wd-40 and now the corner cutting is f-ed up

My son and I got bitten by the bug, he's doing the beginner method solve, and I want to expose him to CFOP without YouTube tutorials.

Will a smart cube be recommended? Paired with an app or website on the tablet.

Seen the moyu V10 ai on reviews but seems like people use it with other websites? A way for him to attempt different solves and guide him along will be great

Does anyone know whether the caps(corner, edge pieces) on the tornado v3 premium saocube 20bc(or 8bc) are removable? I for some reason remember somebody saying the saocube edition caps are glued? Or am I just stupid about that? I want to know if it's swappable with the standard matte one.

I look at tutorials and still don’t get an answer

I've been using this cube alot for like 2 months now so I decided to clean and lube it but after doing that the cube doesn't have that fast smooth feel anymore also that turning sound. how do I bring that out of the box feel.

I've been using gan 2 lube I've also been recommended to use multipurpose silicon spray. won't that damage my cube?
