4 new cubesss🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hey everyone,

I made the lifetime offer free today!
But please give me some feedback 🙂

Following up on my previous post about my speedcubing timer app - I've refactored the UI to make it more intuitive and user-friendly.
For those who missed the original post, the app features:

Real timer feel with two-button start (just like competition timers)
Simple one-touch mode for casual solving
Library of saved scrambles.
Detailed solve statistics

What's new:

Completely redesigned interface
Improved statistics visualization

I know you may expect the pro features to be included in the free version, so I decided to make the lifetime offer on ios for free today! For android please send me a DM and I will send you the promo code.

Please let know what you think about the new design.

i can't forget when i finally figured out how to solve my first 3x3 cube. i was tough on myself for not being able to figure it out, but i didn't let it get in the way of persisting. people would always attempt it and so few could figure it out. i don't know why it was so important to me, i guess because life isn't always easy and sometimes distractions can be a wonderful escape, lo and behold, the 3x3 cube was there to delight me almost as much as it frustrated me. i started making friends at school who also wanted to solve it. we'd share notes about how close we are getting, until one beautiful thursday afternoon, i solved it. to be honest, i got completely lucky, or maybe not, but i told my friends and we tried to backward engineer what happened until we figured out what patterns were, or now we call them algos. but it's hard to forget that feeling of succeeding with such a puzzle that's become a staple for all other puzzles. highly recommended and for those still figuring it out, don't give up, it's always darkest before the dawn.

for those who don't care and just like beating the game, i get it. you people aside, don't you want to figure it out on your own? someone is figuring it out, right?

you can get AI to compute it for you, but isn't the thrill of a puzzle figuring it out for yourself? it's not instant gratification but that's what makes the victory sweeter.

the problem is you can always make more and more advanced twisty puzzles, to the point where it'll take someone 10000 years to solve. perhaps it demonstrates the finiteness of the mind, however, people solve twist puzzles that take them 6 hours minimum. but what's the point?

to be fair, what's the point of solving it on your own anyway, lol it's just a stupid puzzle, but i guess what bothers me most, is that all kinds of tests reflect this approach. they don't truly test for intelligence, they test to filter those who anticipated the challenge, and got some wizard to "reveal the trick of 'pulling a rabbit out of their hat'" so to speak. is this part of human intelligence? having someone give you the answers, and then practice that?

what does that say about placement tests for high school, college, technical professions or crafts. do these twisties teach us how humans actually learn? by getting the answer from someone else?

I wanted to thank everyone that commented on my post a couple days ago in regards to the dart cube / 2 layer star. I got so much good info and this is such a helpful group ! Appreciate you guys !! Hes going to be so excited we not only secured the cube, sorry.. santa secured the cube.. but Mom will have some resources for him 🥹🤍 This came home from school today lol

So as planned, I went to the store to buy some new cubes and I was pretty much set on buying either the V10 or the RS3M V5. I went in and tried those, tried the V4, the Fanxin and the new Hudong ones. I was pleasantly surprised by the Hudong but for some reason, the Guhon Pro was yearning for my attention so I decided to give it a try before purchasing the Hudong. Boy am I glad I did, It feels substantially blockier than my WRM V9 and all in all, just won me over with its feel, to the point that in the last 2 days I’ve been using it for almost every chill solving session.

I got a MoYu AoChuang V6 the other day, and it came pretty loose in the box so I managed to get the center caps out and adjust the tensions. But now I can’t get the center caps back in. The cube is still loose enough where it’s fast and corner cuts decently and I like the way it feels, but I can’t seem to get the caps back in. I can’t find many videos on the cube other than people solving it. TheCubicle review shows JR just putting it back in, but I assume that’s on the settings it came with. Does anyone know how to get these back in?

Show me your statistics, I’m curious to see how bad i am compared to everyone in this sub! /s

Title

I learned to solve cubes sized 2-5 and then on an app I realized I could solve any larger cube.

Are all other puzzles the same?

If one can solve kilominx - gigaminx, can they solve zettaminx?

If one can solve pyraminx - 5 pyraminx, can they solve royal pyraminx?

If one can solve pyramorphix - gigamorphix, can they solve 8 mastermorphix?

Thanks for the education

What is the difference between these 2?:

&

yj tianyuan o2 cube v3 https://www.thecubicle.com/collections/yj/products/yj-tianyuan-o2-cube-v3?_pos=13&_fid=1cd869176&_ss=c

I feel like V3 has the same challenges of V2 plus solving the corners.

Please tell me if I’m wrong as I’m considering getting one or both.

Thank you to all of you who participated in the survey. For the majority of you who answered which PLL to change your rating to an 11 and which PLL to change to a 0, I have changed your ratings accordingly, with a few exceptions. For some responses, I noticed errors such as changing to a 0 for a PLL where the original score given to that PLL was not even the lowest score given. I tried to contact the users to resolve these issues. For those I couldn't contact, I left their original scores alone.

Anyways, here are the results:

21. Nb Perm (2.790)

22. E Perm (3.886)

23. Gc Perm (4.505)

24. Gb Perm (4.971)

25. Na Perm (5.038)

26. V Perm (5.114)

27. Ga Perm (5.533)

28. Gd Perm (5.590)

29. F Perm (6.276)

30. Ra Perm (6.352)

31. Rb Perm (6.581)

33. Z Perm (7.086)

34. Aa Perm (7.133)

35. Ja Perm (7.362)

It has been 3 years since the last feedback cycle of UF5 algset! Thanks to the 106 cubers who made sure the developments and ideas stayed on track.

A lot has been changed in the cubing world since then and cubing has evolved a lot. I would like everyone to give their thoughts about the viability of this algset from the perspective of the year 2025.

Thanks for your time and patience!

TL;DR: Moyu wins

To start, you can’t go wrong with either. I have around 2.5k times solves on my Gan and around 300 on my v10 so it’s not the most fair review but I think I can make the educated decision on why Moyu wins.

I won’t address the apps because cubeast is a thing. I won’t address desyncs, because they are negligible. I won’t address cost cause if you’re on the market for a smart cube you can get the Gan for ~$65 on Ali express which imo makes the price much more reasonable at the cost of short term gratification with shipping times.

Edit: Also my Gan is the standard FP without maglev, and the moyu is the spring + UV version.

Pros for Moyu: -little to no lockups (not necessarily better corner cutting at face value) -tactility that lets you know exactly where you are in your turn -slower but in a good way -due to piece construction the individual pieces have no flex -easier to adjust (less sensitive, more tactility)

Cons for Moyu -plastic feels cheaper -charging case has no battery built in, with no option of an upgraded case -No adjustable magnets -louder -lacks soft feeling of primary internals compared to Gan -some spring noise(very mild, haven’t decided if I’ll try to fix it yet. It’s so quiet it’s not bothersome, but noticable at times)

Pros for Gan -FAST -softer plush feel especially after break in -smoother turns, less bumpy -adjustable magnets -more rigid (less likely to deform under pressure potentially due to my preferred magnet strength) -M2 flicks are WAY more satisfying

Cons -WAY more lockups -comparable corner cutting but reverse corner cutting seems to cause lockups during solves -can be too fast -pieces flex due to construction -also noisy -Requires much more accurate turning -cannot be setup to be slow (more info in commentary)

Commentary: I love the Gan and adjusted my turning style as much as I could but could never avoid lockups entirely leading me to have a love hate relationship with the cube so I decided to try to moyu.

The Moyu OTB feels like it has much more space between pieces, thicker plastic, more flexible, easier to deform, slightly slower, bumpier turns, slightly weaker magnets. Honestly at first I was quite unsatisfied with the cube. It felt cheap because the plastic type and the feeling of “space” between the contact points of the internals. After adjusting it to my liking with elasticity (most center travel) on 1 and compression on 4 I was liking it more. I lubed the core with gravitas and FZ calm, the pieces with dignitas and calm. After enough solves to break in the lube I still wasn’t loving it. It had better corner cutting, less lockups, it felt like my U2 turns weren’t “running away” from my fingers compared to the Gan, but it still lacked so much smoothness and I couldn’t get over the plastic feel. It also felt like it was deforming in my hands whereas the Gan did not. All this changed when I decided to add a bit of weight 5 to the internal tracks. After adding the weight 5 (very little to only 2 edge pieces) and increasing the compression to 6 everything I hated got so much better. The cube stopped deforming, it smoothed out a lot, the magnets seemed to be slightly stronger, and the sensation of “space” between the contact points of the internals disappeared (arguably my biggest complaint). Definitely use weight 5 on the moyu internals.

All this on the moyu compared to the Gan which despite how it felt amazing but… Gan is lubed same as the Moyu without the weight 5. Compression on 4 travel on 1 (most travel possible). The Gan felt like the U2s were running away from me like I was doing the U2 with on finger and the other finger was just following my not actually pushing. The Gan locks up semi regularly despite my best effort to turn accurately. The Gan made me feel like I had to slow down in a way in order to not over turn and put extra focus into accurate turning. I constantly had to slow down to avoid lockups on the Gan. Gan has the fantastic soft feeling and smoothness that the moyu lacks. The Gan also has the adjustable magnets which is great but compared to the Moyu I find they are comparable enough that it’s not that big of a deal. The last thing about the Gan is that all the things that make it great suddenly disappear when you try to slow it down. It loses its flexibility, locks up more, the magnetic click that feels so satisfying dissipates and so on. It felt like it just HAD to be fast or else it would not be nearly as good. Gan feels like a mix of tv3 and rs3m v5 best characteristics. Moyu is in a world of its own as far as feel. I wouldn’t compare it to the v5 like some I’d actually compare it to my Moyu aosu v7 in 3x3 stage. It does definitely feel similar to the old Aolong v2. I would say don’t even consider Gan unless you’re A) an accurate turner and B) sub 10.

Final note: The Gan is incredible. The moyu is incredible. If I pick one reason to get the Moyu over the Gan it’s simply that Moyu doesn’t lockup really ever.

Why M2 is not possible on corners, that must use a Y perm instead of a U2, or L2, R2, B2, F2, D2 turn (they are the faces), and use setup to buffer and target on the same layer?

Hello guys. Ive recently got a moyu timer and it doesnt seem to be working as intended. Ive bought a aux cord for it but it seems that it cannot connect to cubedesk or cstimer. The aux works ive tried it in a different device only the timer is broken i feel. Can you guys help me troubleshoot this?
