Colours of the classic speed cube

The classic speed cube has six colours: white, yellow, orange, red, green and blue. White and yellow are always on opposite sides, orange is across from red and green on the opposite side of blue. This colour scheme is also called BOY (blue-orange-yellow).

If you hold the cube with the orange side facing you and the white side on top, then green will be on the right side and blue will be facing left in the standard sequence. However, there are also mirror colour schemes as well as colour combinations that are completely different. During tournaments, all colour combinations are allowed, as long as each colour is only present once on the cube.

Correct use of silicone oil – tuning your speed cube

Once you notice that your cube no longer turns smoothly, it is time to lubricate it with a little silicone oil. It is very important to use only silicone oil and not cooking oils or something similar because the wrong oil could adversely affect the plastic of your cube. In addition, cooking oils turn rancid and will start to smell.

It is also important not to use too much oil because it could leak out of the cube.

To add the silicone oil to the correct spot inside your cube, you could either carefully remove an edge or corner piece or turn the upper layer by one eighth. This will make it easier to get to the pivoting mechanism in the centre where you can now add a drop of silicone oil.
