6x6, Megaminx, Pyraminx, Skewb, 2x2. Idk what the thing on the left is. edit: maybe a truncated tetrahedron

No, the most practice events I usually do is usually 3 x 3 but also at times would be 2 x 2 since the quick and simple and you can learn quickly and that’s probably the only events where I can do more than 1000 solve one. Honorable mentions are pyaminx, skewb and square 1. Because those events are also pretty fast for me too I average. 7-8 on pyaminx. 8 on skewb and 30 on square 1. And I also do those events a lot but not as much as 2 x 2 and 3 x 3.

Now, my least practice events for cubing is usually megaminx or the larger puzzles 6x6 and 7 x 7 mainly because those cubes take a while to scramble and I always mess up on them, but also because they take a while to solve.

I am trying to solve a 5x5 mastermorphix but I got parity than I did the 5x5 parity alg and it solved the edge but gave me this on the center.

Can anyone help???

Yayyy

It looks like a 1x2x3, but it doesn't have the top or bottom sides. I found this shit in my closet yesterday, and I found it very peculiar.

Started grinding virtual cube and Im averaging around 20-30s

My GAN 17 arrived today - a couple of days earlier than expected! 😁

After playing with it for a few hours, here are my preliminary thoughts/observations. The GAN 17’s default settings are 3 & 7 and comes pre-lubed from the factory. I found the UV coating to be very slippery at first tho that got a bit better after a few solves.

The feeling of a new GAN cube is always magical for me and this cube is no exception. The cube is very fast, somewhat louder than its predecessor and the hand feel is light and papery. You can tell it has a ballcore as it feels ‘denser’ and is definitely more stable than previous GANs. Some people have reported a ‘rattle’ coming from the centre caps but mine does not have that issue.

I found the default magnet strength to be perfect for me so I don’t think I’ll be tinkering with those settings. The auto-alignment is practically flawless; I couldn’t test corner cutting as it would not let me put the cube in a 45 degree angle to test it.

I did about 50 solves with it straight out of the box before tightening and lubricating the cube. My settings are now 3 & 10 and I used Gravitas on the tracks, Dignitas and Silk on the pieces and after break-in, I adjusted the speed (made it a tad faster) with a bit of FZ-Stealth. This resulted to be incredibly addictive for me. Turning is light and airy, pretty forgiving too - I haven’t add any catches a very few minor lock-ups - and the sound has been dampened.

Have I found a new main? Maybe but I’ll need to do more solves with it (I currently main the Ferrocore V2 which is well tuned to my turning style and very comfortable). For now, theGAN 17 is definitely my practice cube. I have a comp in 10 days and if it performs to my expectations, it may be the one I’ll use. More to follow.

Wanted to make a cool base in Pal World. I only have the exterior done, but I’m so happy with how it turned out. I want to decorate the interior to be 80’s themed. I don’t have a picture of it, but the flood inside is colored with a red X and orange cross to make it a proper checkered cube.

Started cubing in Feb, I use cfop w 2 looks OLL e PLL but I started studying for 1 look PLL this week and working on a faster F2L.

These are my stats. Probably I’m not gonna be a professional cuber 🤣 but still proud.

Doing YuXin, HuLong, DianSheng and MoreTry next time. This is a low effort drawing and took about 8 mins in total, sorry :c

I scrambled this cube and put number stickers on it so I can solve it either by colors or numbers. The number solution is obviously much harder. It's been a pretty neat challenge. Sometimes I just keep going back and forth without actually scrambling it. Solving it also scrambles it.

Hi r/Cubers. I've been building a speedcubing app called sub-x and it's been running on the web at subx.guru for a while, and the Android version is finished and sitting in Google's closed testing.

Here's my problem... Google requires new developer accounts to run a closed test with 12 testers for 14 continuous days before the app is allowed on Play Store. I have the app, I do not have 12 friends :(

What this app does

• Timer with running Ao5 / Ao12 / Ao100, +2 and DNF, and random-state scrambles. Works offline and syncs when you're back online.
• Smart cube support over Bluetooth: GAN, and the MoYu. Full solve reconstruction with cross / F2L / OLL / PLL splits, and a report on which stage is actually costing you the most time.
• Trainers, all offline and with no sign-in needed: a cross and x-cross trainer with optimal solutions on a 3D cube, F2L cases, all 57 OLL, all 21 PLL.
• Progress tracking: trend charts, a distribution histogram, and an estimate of how many solves it'll take you to hit a target time.

It's free to use!

TL;DR: Good after setup and break-in, but mine had awful QC and needed way too much work to become good.

I got mine for around ₱620 (~$11).

I've only ever seen so little reviews in China and Southeast Asia.

OOTB

First thing I noticed: three missing magnets. 💔🫩

- Missing corner-to-core magnet

- Missing edge repelling magnet

- Missing piece-to-piece edge magnet

I had to fix all three myself using a some spare magnets I had.

After that, the cube was sandy, blocky, and tight. The turning had a really weird friction-heavy feeling, almost like “squeaky-clean” skin after a shower. Instead of my finger gliding through turns, it felt like I had to push through the friction.

I hated it.

Adjustment

The V56 has a dual adjustment system with no screws. I personally prefer screws, and I found the system pretty confusing at first. After reading the instructions for ~10 minutes, I got everything to 1:1. Since the tool was purple, and the adjustment system was also purple, it was a huge pain in the 🍑

Adjustment did improve the auto-alignment and corner cutting, but it still wasn't as loose as I wanted.

Magnets

This was disappointing.

It's a 20M ball-core, but the magnetic feel is surprisingly weak. It does auto-align, but barely, and the piece-to-piece magnets are also weak.

I expected much more from a 20M ball-core.

Lubing/break-in

This is where the cube completely changed.

After lubing, the sandiness improved a lot. Then after more solves, the lube broke in and somehow fixed most of the weaknesses I initially hated.

It's now actually pretty good.

The corner cutting is excellent, the turning is much nicer, I'd say it's pretty similar to the RS3M V5 and Dayan Guhong Pro+

But here's the problem: I had to do all of that.

A ₱620 cube shouldn't require magnet surgery, confusing adjustments, lube, and a long break-in period before I actually enjoy using it.

Features

The V56 does have some cool stuff:

- 20M ball-core

- Dual adjustment

- Heart-shaped internal lubrication pattern

- Black pieces

- Adjustment tool

- Instruction/pamphlet material

The heart-shaped internals are genuinely unique and a nice touch.

Pros

- Extremely cheap for a 20M ball-core

- Excellent corner cutting

- Cool internal lubrication design

- Black pieces

- Can become genuinely good after setup/break-in

Cons

- My unit had three missing magnets

- Very friction-heavy OOTB

- Weak magnetic feel

- Weak piece-to-piece magnets

- Adjustment system isn't my favorite

- Feels somewhat outdated internally

- Needs a lot of setup to reach its potential

FINAL VERDICT

Is it okay? Yeah.

Can it become good? Definitely.

Would I buy it again knowing what I know now? Hell no.

My current ranking is:

I have around 13 cubes last i counted? id say its around 6-7th

The V56 has alot of features, but those features didn't save it from having a mediocre fundamental experience out of the box.

After break-in, I'd give it around 6.5 or 7/10.

Decent cube, but SAOCube, please do better next time. 😭
