Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)

1. Why do speedcubers prefer cubes from brands like MoYu, GAN, and QiYi over Rubik’s brand cubes?
   (a) They are easier to scramble
   (b) They have better corner-cutting and smooth rotation
   (c) They are more colorful
   (d) They are bigger in size
   

2. Which finger is commonly used to execute U moves in speedcubing?
   (a) Thumb
   (b) Index finger
   (c) Middle finger
   (d) Ring finger

3. What is the primary reason why beginners experience pauses between moves?
   (a) The cube is too fast
   (b) They do not know enough algorithms
   (c) They lack lookahead skills
   (d) They are solving the cube with one hand

4. What is the most efficient way to perform a D move in speedcubing?
   (a) Use the entire hand to rotate the bottom layer
   (b) Use the thumb to push the layer
   (c) Use the ring or pinky finger to push the layer
   (d) Rotate the entire cube first

5. Which of the following is NOT a commonly used advanced solving method?
   (a) CFOP
   (b) Roux
   (c) ZZ
   (d) Tetris Method

True or False 

1. True or False: Using a Rubik’s brand cube is the best option for speedcubing.

2. True or False: The best way to perform B moves in speedcubing is to rotate the cube so that B becomes U and then execute the move as a U move.

3. True or False: The CFOP method is primarily used for solving the Pyraminx.
   

4. True or False: Lookahead is the ability to anticipate the next move while executing the current one.

5. True or False: Advanced speedcubers prefer solving the cube layer by layer instead of block-building methods.
