You are awesome brest!

brest, I hope you realize how awesome you are

That is pretty ridiculous. Wow.

Thank you guys! :tu
I really hope all of these are helpful, insightful, and worthwhile.

(I count 136 solves, including one 4x4 one.)

I also got that count. =)
All of these are posted in other threads, but I wanted to see how many I had done recently, so I bundled them all up and posted them here.

Some numbers:
136 in ~45 days is ~3 per day.
In total ~350 at ~2.5 per day.
Also, I think the 4x4x4 count is 8 in total.
I haven't done 5x5x5 or bigger (yet). In fact, no other puzzles; only 3x3x3 & 4x4x4!
Suggestions are always welcome.

It's just insane how you reconstruct these so fast.
How long did Yu Sajima's 7.87 take you, and what was your approach to reconstructing it?

Cubenovice · Nov 21, 2011

Hi Brest,

care to this one?
You might want to skip the cube rotations though

iirc that one took over an hour... Finding the scramble was hard, the Japanese colour scheme didn't help, but mostly: it's really far away!

Thank you so much!
Double layer mayhem.
Too bad of the d U' stuff though.

I bet she will be laughing at that if she ever takes up cubing again.

Double layer turns indeed. I thinks that's how she was taught:

find the next corner or edge to solve
hold it in with your right hand
spin the other two layers until it lines up with were it goes
place it

Good stuff!

TPS should be measured in QTM; I've edited it in.

Nope

I taught her the std R U R' and L' U' L style corner insertion but she developed her own unique style

d turns to bring the next slot towards F for inserting the 2nd layer edges: another "Birgit special"
