I've just got my first sub-20 time (not with a scramble taken from the easy scrambles thread)! It was a 19.80. PLL skip and one of the OLLs I can do in one look.
I've also worked out how ZZ EO works. Not a very big achievement, but F2L without rotation feels amazing.

Beat my lucky PB single (17.53) with a non-lucky solve (16.88)! Am I the only one with a non-lucky PB that's better than their lucky PB?

Hoping for a LL skip of some description some time soon, the way things are going I'd hope for a 15/low 16. :-D

So after yesterday getting my first ever sub-17 solve (16.88), today I had a 14.48 non-lucky solve. PB by 2.4 seconds!!

Easy T OLL followed by T perm no AUF! So easy it should almost count as lucky.

:) :) :)
