Interesting learning experience re-constructing my speedsolves. Pretty happy with EOLine and LL. Found lots of silly mistakes in F2L though, mainly due to poor lookahead. Conclusion: I should probably work on my lookahead

[Athefre]

Nice. Very fast inspection.

For a method that often has low movecount listed as one of it's advantages, a 59 average seems high. I would probably average about the same number of moves with ZZ. Maybe it doesn't work the same way in a speedsolve?

[uberCuber]

Wow. I applaud your work to reconstruct all of the solves, and I applaud your EOLine movecount, especially after such short inspection

He didn't really blockbuild for the F2L. That's why.

Hi Conrad, welcome back.

Good to see that you found some time to cube again!

Yup, the move count was something which surprised me to! Mistakes were definitely a contributing factor. In a few solves I noticed some free pairs were broken up, and in #9 I made a bit of a stupid mistake with the last pair. While slow-solving its easily possible to get much lower move-counts, but when solving at speed it seems as though I don't really have time to consider alternatives. Most of the time I'm just going for the first thing I see (normally a corner-bias approach, with preference for URF). I think if I was more aware of other pieces around the cube, the move-count would definitely be better.

Cheers, I was up until 4am doing the reconstructions, up at 8am for work today!

Really?

Hey, thanks. Yup, got Guildford open coming up, and then the world champs ... need to get practising!

[OMGitsSolved]

What do you average with 4x4? I was gonna learn ZZ but you can't do big cubes. At least unless your mega fast at finding bad edges.
What are the rules to bad edges? It's easier to read then to listen for me. (example: if it is this color on that side then it is bad)

EDIT: OH GAWD double post. I was spamming the post button. My bad.

[Godmil]

Pretty impressive. Thanks for the reconstructions, interesting seeing how you do some things.

[a small kitten]

Nice to see you solve again. When I have time today I'll try to post my own solutions to your scrambles.
