A while ago, I went to some place and they there were free cubes xD apparently there are words on it, so by the time I align the colour, the words get messed up >_< and vice versa. any guides on solving these kind of cubes? You should be able to solve it with any "guide", because each piece in a rubiks cube is unique anyway, if you think about it. Also, I think I know where you got that cube, because I got the exact same one for free.

Not quite the same. The middle piece can be rotated in the wrong direction, and that's the annoying part.

Actually, FZ, it's quite the same. You just have to make sure every piece goes in the right place. Quite a pain, but it works (most of the time) and if it doesn't there's always the "disassemble the cube and reassemble it" tactic xD
But rly, the most annoying part are the edge pieces.....always get freaking screwed up when you reach teh top.

Go to the rubiks website. the have a giude for solving picture cubes. Idk what link ans stuff, but its on the site somewhere. I avoid picture cubes lol. the last layer edge orientation always gets screwed up. i dont think its the center, its just the way the edge pieces are placed. i believe there is an edge orientation that you can do over and over to move the edges around the last layer. Or you can do what archer said and just take it apart lol.

Got a Lan Lan 2x2, and a QJ Megaminx. QJ megaminx' suck. I dont recommend them lol. I also finally got a timer. Youtube, here i come. lol
Also, FZ, i figured out how to do picture cubes.When dong the last layer cross, one edge must be solved in either the line or the L. Then when doing the cross, all but two should be out of place. Then just do Dan Browns method of edges first, then corners. Its worked every time for me. I wish i could show you lol.

I actually managed to rotate the middle pieces after a long while.

Oh. Well luck has a lot to deal with it too. -.-
Anyway, i'm lubing my megaminx atm, hopefully making it workable. It sucks, and i dont think i can do anything for it lol.
W00T, it works great now. But some of the screws unscrew themselves.... any one know how to fix it without resetting the tension or buying new screws?

But some of the screws unscrew themselves.... any one know how to fix it without resetting the tension or buying new screws? Sup. Glad this thread is alive. So anyway. Use Lock-tite to super glue them down. At the right tension. However, my Megaminx is a MF8 brand, it it rocks. Update: I went to competition. I fail: www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/c.php?byPerson=By+Person&competitionId=DiscoveryScience2010Find Calvin Le 2:I got a Haiyan Haiyan cube, the same type used get the BLD (blindfolded solve) World Record (Like under 30 seconds) 3)I have a new 6x6! Modded to 4)New store opened up! Ran by an adult this time! www.magic-puzzle-cube.com/ Ordered from there, and let me say...LEGENDARY SHIPPIN, BUTTHOLES. 5)VERY close to reaching sub 30 (avgs are under 30 seconds) 6)Getting a YJ 4x4 (V Cube 4 clone) and YJ 5x5. And Haiyan Memory. (Type AV with modded corners)

Hey, you did better than i would have. I can consistantly get a sub fifty, but thats all. But PB is only 39 seconds. And idk what was up lol.
Very lucky 2x2 solve, at 4 seconds. I literally solved the top in one alg, and then just had to move the second layer around. Pretty beast lol.
My megaminx is tight again cuz i got tired of the whole thing exploding in my hands. But its still okay
I need a new last layer method, but i dont feel like memorizing 150 different algs. And my F2L is wrong. I like made my own F2L.... its slower, but requires less thinking. So my times aren't going to get any faster right now. Prolly never lol.

Listen man. PRACTICE is the key word. Find badmephisto on youtube. He's a legend on tutorials. As for a new last layer method, if you REALLY want to, you can switch to using OLL and PLL. Again, look up badmephisto on youtube. TRUST ME, everyone says his tuts are a legend. You won't be sorry. Do not worry about being slow. Believe me when i say this, you're progressing faster then me. And tell me when you get them Youtube vids up!

Lol I plan on doing some this very soon. Summer is like almost over for me, So i have to find my camcorder fast lol.
EDIT: Its a recorder..... a tape recorder. I can't transfer tapes to the computer. I may have to take videos on my mother's Camera lol.
Also, OLL and PLL is not a good idea for me. I have bad enough recognition as it is. I dont need 100 different algs to screw me up lol. Also, i need a new cube. My ghost hand is starting to get.... poppish. Pops every other solve, and if i tighten it up anymore, it locks like crazy, and is very slow. I think i heard Type D's were good?
