    Default Accomplishment Thread

    A thread for accomplishments, hence the title, "Accomplishments Thread".

    Just post your accomplishments here. I decided to make an accomplishments thread because they have one in TwistyPuzzles and I think it would be nice to have one here too.

    I'll start: I've finally gotten around to starting learning CLS! Hooray for me! So far, I only know about 6, but I'm learning a few everyday.

    Whoohoo! First 2 cubes BLD done in 8:47.75 mins. Though on the second cube, only half of the edges were mispermuted. Is that lucky?

    first sub 30 solve after 1 1/2 month of cubing. nonlucky, no skipped steps, just fine block building at the start (meaning consistent but slow turning, no pauses & good lookahead).
    I'm looking forward to my first sub 40 average

    EDIT:
    just accomplished a sub 40 avg :]
    next goal: sub 40 avg of 100
    i love it, every day i cube i keep getting better times. 1 or 2 seconds everyday

    I hold the Dutch national record for Fewest Moves and Multiple Blind.
    I have won 2 official events: Magic at the Italian Open 2007 and 2x2x2 at the Lyon Open 2007.
    I am the number 4 on the list of "most countries". (The other 3 are all from the "Bene"-Lux and were there at Worlds2003. I started in 2006)
    And I am the fastest "beginner" that I know. (Still using keyhole + 4 look last layer)

    Believe me ,it's a very useful skill!
    I would like to believe you.....................but I don't

    But what if you were trapped in a room with your hands cuffed to the wall behind your back, and the handcuffs could be opened by a remote control signal that would be sent from a rubik's cube that's held by a chain to the floor in front of you as soon as it was solved?

    Oh, I guess that's not a very common scenario - never mind.

    My latest accomplishment was a 16.35 second avg of 12 with probably a sub-15 second avg in the middle of 5.

    I tried doing 3 cubes BLD with pure visual memory, and it was very hard, but was only off my like a 3 corner cycle on each. I will try that again soon. After, is 4x4 BLD.

    Are you an alcoholic or do you have a mental problem?

    That's a very common scenario in Finland.
