the second one is like a really tiny \, the other is like a tiny |. I think I'm going to try a 2x2 because I uh, can fit it in my pocket and carry it around in my pocket and attempt to solve it at random times.

Damn i was wondering why my DS was messin up. The vid was raping my memory, of which this DS has little. Good thing the vid won`t actually play. XD And PD, what you said may be almost, not really, but worth saying, insulting. To me, anyway. But don't worry. I solved it with luck. XD. 2x2x2`s aren`t very hard. They`re just taken too lightly. The one i solved wasn`t actually rubiks, though. it was a knockoff, lol. BTW, i saw a rubiks brand 4x4x4 in walmart before... i think lol. Pretty sure it was in the "Board games and cards and other stuff" section. XD Also: Whats the diff between this: ' And this: ` They look the same on my DS... Sorry. What I meant to say was, most people can't solve it because they let mind-slips get the better of themselves. Now to the ` and ' ` Is a Prime Symbol. I'll edit this post later unless someone else will/psot it below. ' is an Apostrophe.

`(Prime) is slightly steeper and swerves to the left and ' (Apostrophe) is straight down.The symbol ` actually means inversed or the other way around.It is used in the algorithms of solving Rubik's cubes.For example, when cubers say R (right) it means turn the right layer in a clockwise direction and when they say R`(right prime) it means turn the right layer in a counter-clockwise direction.

PD....today something weird happened.....you know the parity error on the 4x4x4 in which only 2 opposite center pieces are switched??Today it happened on my friend's 3x3x3.
I dunno how but he was trying to put it back to normal (I kinda made 4 U's with it.) but it ended up like that and it couldn't be solved no matter what so we kinda took out the pieces and put it back together again.I didn't know if I should be surprised or um.....excited lol
Maybe I should consider this when I buy my 3x3x3 later xD

Has he disassembled it before? He probably mixed up two pieces. Actually, I once tried that, swapping two edege opposite pices and tried the parity error. No dice XD Solved the 4x4x4 Borrowed a 360. Got 3 balls in there. (Shut up)

lol I dunno but he said he swapped the center caps.But I still dunno how that can happen xD
Gonna get one DIY later.BTW is solving the 360 tiring???I mean you have to shake it around and all...

Yeah. But it's *** so I give up. I'm getting a Mefferts 4x4x4. Eastsheen is locking up like an ahole.

If you mean the cube's movements then yeah it is locking up most of the time but I kinda modified it a bit and it's kinda smoother now ^^ but still sometimes at critical times it acts up so yeah it fails in one sense.

How do YOU modify it? I can't Lubricate mine cause it's just gonn make it looser.

Um...well I kinda took apart the whole thing, sanded it and then I actually shaved a little off the edges of the um...frame of the 4x4x4.It kinda sucks sometimes cause it locks up during critical moments.
Oh, a tip for you on the Eastsheen 4x4x4.Be gentle with it!!!I know it seems ridiculous but it works.I experimented with it.It tends to lock up more often when more force is used but less often if you use less force when rotating it.Hope that helps ^^

Kay, got bored enough to get this pics and so it is evidence of me knowing how to solve a cube (if you didn't believe me words that is) and so here they are. 2x2x2 3x3x3 4x4x4 And well would post the 5x5x5 but it's a bad one (haven't memorize the parities xD) and so yeah bad record or something.
