Hmm, I see. OK - thanks!

I don't believe that's possible. Swapping the corners will also change some edges. If you ultimately end up with just 2 edges swapped, that is known as the parity case, and there is a way to fix it.

@narusite Only hope he didn't slide on the timer.@cubers

Yeah! I haven’t been practicing as much as a should, but I think what I’m doing is referred to as intuitive F2L. It’s kinda funny because my partner who using the slower method can beat my time sometimes. But I figured I have to go slow with F2L before I can go fast. Applying F2L is fast, but identifying what’s can be paired up is a little slow for me.

You'll get there pretty soon :)

Don't memorize the F2L cases. Instead, do tonnes of untimed solves and understand how the pieces move.

Good luck~

This is the "MoYu puppet" cube, isn't it?

C'est le cube "MoYu puppet", n'est-ce pas?

damn that is interesting, i usually just pop the pieces back when i realise there are any out of place. it almost always ends with a spun corner lol. i now see why.

I knew exactly where I was with the puzzle though, carefully snapped all the pieces back in their appropriate mid-puzzle positions, and managed to successfully solve it from there

Impressive, nicely done!

often times you will just get a spun corner

The odds of an incorrect corner rotation are 2/3.

The odds of a flipped edge are 1/2.

The odds of two edges swapped is 1/2.

Together, there is a 1/12 chance that a randomly assembled cube will be solvable.

This one started off as a pretty nice feeling speed cube, but I really didn't expect much for $4. Whatever, I've apparently done wore the thing out now LMFAO!

I'm not disappointed, hell I wasn't even good at cubing as a kid, I only picked it up again last year when I got a bug up my ass to do the dice dots mod.

Note: I've tried both left handed and right handed die patterns, the left handed pattern lends itself to a proper Rubik's Cube by far, patterns are much more intuitive.

they have good speedcubes for around $4-5 online if you know what to look for. the die pattern is neat, ive always enjoyed unique cubes/puzzles.

It's basically a worn out cheapo version of a wannabe speed cube I got from a flea market for $4 LOL!

The dot holes are my own custom mod though, when fully solved the dots are in a left handed 1-6 die (singular of dice) pattern. I have previous posts on this community following my experimental journey.

Apparently I've practiced certain puzzle sequences so many times that I can reassemble a busted cube mid-puzzle and just keep going...

if you put it back together randomly often times you will just get a spun corner, in which case you can just spin it back. what cube is that though?

Hi! I just joined. Slowly working on leaning FL2. I would love to be sub 45 seconds consistently. I would say my best solve occasionally dips below 60 seconds.

What have folks been up to this past week?

I had brought a cube with me and was just doing a few casual solves while chatting. He noticed it and came over.

That’s so funny! How did the topic even come about??

Welcome! Glad you are here.

My average time is down to about 2.5-3 minutes but I’ve only been learning for about a week.

That's good progress!

I attended a house party that turned out to be hosted by an amateur speedcuber! We chatted about puzzles for a bit; he's approximately 5 seconds faster than me, so I was able to get a few useful F2L tips.

Hello, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a newbie with a speed cube. My average time is down to about 2.5-3 minutes but I've only been learning for about a week.

I put some lube on my cube but I don't think it's the right combo for me, so I plan on cleaning it off and switching it up.
