Hey guys, are there any members who solves a Rubik's Cube?
I have been cubing from past couple of years and recently started speedsolving.
I think some previous members solved the Rubik's cube, but I cannot recall.
EDIT: Some info about different 3x3 cubes available
There are two types of cubes.
1. Standard
2. DIY (also assembled)
1. Standard ones are funskook, local Chinese ones.
these Chinese ones are surprisingly smoother at first due to a lube pre applied in the factory. Funskool doesn't have any lube, if you handle the cube properly then it will get a little smoother over a few weeks, otherwise it will get very tight and loose interest in cubing. Avoid ₹20 ones, they will break within a week(or few days). Its possible to mod the Funskool ones to make it much smoother, but newbies may destroy the cube if not properly done. Most speed cubers don't prefer these cubes as its difficult to achieve lower times with these.
2. DIY Cubes - you can take apart all parts and assemble it back. one can adjust the tension in these, almost all speedcubers prefer these.
There are many models available at different budgets and colors (transparent included). Most companies which make these compete against each other for the worlds fastest cube title (or at least the record).
I have two Dayan Guhong, Alpha V, Couple of Cube4You, and others. I had one Type F-II which I gave to ico.
if you are starting to learn cubing then I would recommend Type F-II, its fast/smooth and cheap too, if you are serious then Dayan Zhanchi or Guhong V2.
