Thread: Average of 4 (14.80)

  1. #1

    Default Average of 4 (14.80)

    Ive dropped 1.5 seconds in the last 2 Months! I currently average around 15.5 seconds. Hopefully will be sub 10 by the end of the year!

    Nice average. For the most obvious part: try to work on Your look-ahead in F2L. Also try to work on Your algorithm speed and PLL recognition. For example: In the first solve, You did U2 y2 PLL. You could do U-Perm U2, saving a cube rotation (in this case a pretty slow one).
    Another tip would be not to start with cube in Your hands. It won't make Your times better, but I think it's not allowed. The fourth one is a +2 because of a almost 17 second inspection.
    PS.: Wasn't it an average of 5?

    Good job, But really if you improved only 1.5 seconds in 2 months which is normal at that rate, I can assure you won't be sub 10 at the end of this year. Sorry for my pessimistic Point Of View but that is what I think. Ofcourse you can have a different opinion
    Life is hard, make it more easy with cubing!

    I dropped about 5 seconds in the last 2 months (I know, this is wired lol)
    Tipps: Try being white/yellow neutral. It's not as hard as being fully CN and helps a lot. Shouldn't take longer than 1-3 days (worked for me straight away)
    Wanna have a race to a sub 10 Ao100? Could take a while, but it would be fun :P (I average nearly the same)
    3x3 PBs: [PB 8.81nl] [single lucky 9.43] [11.96+ -.-(nl)] [Ao5 11.943] [Ao12 sub 13?] [Mo3 sub 11.5?] [Ao50 most likely sub 14] [Ao100 sub 14?] 3 sub 10s :D

    averaging sub 10 from where you are now by the end of the year is a little unrealistic. Maybe 11-12 if you keep going!

    I honestly think you can sub-10 by the end of the year, I've managed to get sub-10 in one year, even though at one point i was improving little. Keep at it and don't give up- even if you don't succeed you'll be close!
    (a^b)^c = a^(b c) e^(2 i pi c floor(1/2-(Im(b log(a)))/(2 pi)))
    I've been cubing for only just over 2 years and I feel old already

    I think you could become sub-10 or atleast sub-11 by the end of the year with a lot of practice.It's because you have very fast times,but still a lot to improve on.I see you mostly do AUFs(Adjust Upper Face) before you do a PLL.But you shouldn't always do AUFs,you need to see if you have the cube in the right position to do the PLL,then if you do,then do the PLL and then do AUF.That would help you a lot.Also you should work just a little bit on you OLL and PLL recognition.Looking forward to seeing you become a very successful cuber and I hope you achieve your goals.
