Today is the 17th.... or did you do this 2 days ago?

I did my first succesfull solve with a finishing move. With that I mean that I solved as if the UR-piece, instead were going to BR, and FRU to UBR, and then I finally made a R-move. It wasn't faster or smoother or anything, but it was fun, and I'm glad it worked.

5x5 bld solve success, virtually though, not on a real cube, I still haven't gotten around to order a V5.

I did it on Hi-Games, and I just used cube rotation moves to examine, then I didn't look at the screen and just looked at the keys (so not blindfolded, but without looking at the cube). At least now I know that I can actually do this, it's really not too hard.

I'm just nowhere near as fast as a lot other people

That's cool - congratulations!

You didn't tell us though - how fast was it?

I dot remember the exact time, but I think it was 45-50 minutes. I know I can go faster on a real cube

Congrats on the successful solve! Virtual or real cube, it's still a solve!

You officially freak me out now. That's just insane, huge congrats. I can't imagine being that comfortable with the simulator.

I'd love to see a video of you doing this, it wouldn't have to be a big cube, 3x3 would still be cool to see.

New PB with 1:01.87...
The sub60 is soooooo close !
