Guess what came in mail today?!

Mar 9, 2010

YAY! I got them all. A set of 2×2, 3×3, 4×4 and 5×5 Rubik’s cube just arrived home today. This was my first order from ebay ever; I got it from Omega Studio Cube Shop.

I had bought a 3×3 Rubik’s cube earlier from a local shop, here is how to solve a 3×3 Rubik’s cube. That one was the original Erno Rubik cube from Rubiks.com.

These are called Eastsheen Rubik’s cubes, no idea why. The quality of the 2×2 cube is awesome, 4×4 and 5×5 are good. The 3×3 is not as good as the original one (the 3×3 cube in this set is not from the same manufacturer as that of the 2×2, 4×4 and 5×5 cubes). It took 8 days for the delivery.

Satisfied and happy, can’t wait to solve them. Snap! I need to learn them first 😉

Well, I stumbled upon another cube. What have you got to say about this cube? @Arun
They claim that it is for speed cubing purposes.

Dude!
Its cool to know that shipping is free of cost! 🙂 Should i go for this one? I’ve checked the feedback and found that it was 98.2% +ve. I could find a number of +ve replies.

  Looks like a good deal to me, only if its a genuine speed cubing cube. Else you can get two for that price. Man, free shipping is lucrative, am feeling compelled to buy one.
  
  I would say, go ahead and let me know 😉

Haha…How fast you can solve them?

around 4 months before when I was still crazy in these, my fastest for 3x3x3 is 16.67s and 2x2x2 is 3.51s.

I rarely practise 4x4x4 and 5x5x5. My 4x4x4 best was 1:27.xx..

Do you have other cubes? I have some other puzzle cubes like Pyraminx and Megaminx. I also have 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 🙂

    Which method you’re using?
    
    I’m using cross => F2L => 2-look OLL => PLL…
    
    If i memorize every OLL algorithms then I would be using full step advanced method…

There’s nothing like opening a box of new puzzles. I think that the 3×3 should be another brand, as Eastsheen doesn’t make 3×3 puzzles. Eastsheen 2×2, 4×4, and 5×5 were good cubes although there are so much more better puzzles right now. I recomend dayan zanchi 2×2, by far the best 2×2 speed cube. Shengshou Aurora 3×3 is an amazingly smooth cube and it quite cheaper then the others. Shengshou 4×4 which is decent but still better then other 4×4 and v-cube 5×5 where corner cutting makes such a good solve.

  You are right, the 3×3 was a different make. I did notice that 🙂

I’ve just noticed that the four cubes in the top picture appear to move in disturbing ways when you scroll the page up or down!
