Well, you only get one try in your computer puzzle competition, so I still beat you this time. :p
That's why I learned to use PyraminxSim. So I could beat you next time.

How fast are you one the real thing? And are you color neutral on Jfly's sim? I can only do D layer first. Have you gotten it to rotate, or do you use B moves like me? How long have you practiced before you did that average? I did around 15 solves before I did my 10.8 average.
The best real Pyraminx I have is a complete piece of **** and so I average about 12 seconds. I could average 8-9 (maybe less? I don't even remember how fast that is for a pyraminx) on a decent one with practice, but I haven't owned a decent one since my NAR. I am NOT color neutral on jfly's sim because that's completely impossible (why would you ask that?). You can't rotate and I use B moves for the first face but I try to avoid them for the last layer. I did a session of about 60 solves (but of course this was not my first sub-7 average, just the best average I got before I stopped playing with the sim).

Very nice 5x5 solves! Will you get the UWR again?... I've yet to sub-2:25, but I think I'm getting close.
You're kidding, right? I needed to do probably over a hundred solves to get a .7 second improvement, there's no way I could improve another 3.5 seconds.

I'm around 20 seconds in average, and just got a 16.45 PB SLOW Solving. :)

U B D2 U R' B2 F' L R' D B F2 U F D' L D' U' L' F' D' U2 L B R2

Easy and cross, do the Orange-Red-Blue and then Green cross pieces in that order. F2L pairs are already there and flying around. I really wanted to be speedsolving on it, the best scrambles come up when going slow. :rolleyes:

Muhhahhaaa :D First single sub-20, almost sub-30 average of 12

single: 17.39 YAY YAYY!!! :D
average of 12: 30.56

Also made CCT into estonian language today :) I had to delete all the others to get it working but still :D Why do I even need them? ;)

// And it wasn't very lucky ;) made my cross when accidentally pushed right too much and while reparing the damage I found an x-cross :D Two F2L-s veneeded just inserting and one needed an alg. OLL was 1-look and PLL was 3-corner-cycle :)

People on Gelatinbrain suck at 4x4x4 FMC. Just got a 79 move solve. Too easy. Would have gotten a 75 before that if it weren't for OLL parity. I should really learn about how to avoid the parities...

Previous record was 92 by Lucas Garron.

By the way, I'm no where near this efficient in a speed solve. That's probably more like 120-130 moves not counting parities.

How do you do that :(

1. Solve centers in less than 20 moves.
2. Solve edges in less than 30 moves.
3. Speed-solve 3x3; rescramble if there is parity.
4. If there isn't parity, undo moves and linear FMC (well, not exactly linear, but I didn't bother with insertions. Get the 3x3 stage sub-35 moves.

If I get a really nice scramble, something like 15+25+25 could be possible. I can always hope for that kind of luck...
Baian is also good at this. On some previous weekly contests, I know I've gotten around 80 moves and I think he got a 74 once with a very nice 3x3 stage but slightly worse centers than mine. Perhaps I should look towards pairing edges while finishing the centers.

Now, how do can you avoid OLL parity while solving centers? (How to recognize what is going on?) And what is the requirement for pairing edges an alternative way to change PLL parity?

I did 100 solves on the hi-games 5x5 today.

Best time: 1:00.06
Best average of 5: 1:05.94
Best average of 12: 1:07.67
Average of 100: 1:09.75

Sub-70!


fanwuq: I see. I think it's mean of you to say that everyone on gelatinbrain sucks at 4x4, though... the vast majority of people didn't do a fewest moves solve anyway (it records movecount automatically when you do a solve), and for those who did I doubt anyone put a huge amount of time into it. My 4x4 "fewest move" attempts on gelatinbrain rarely go over 5-10 minutes, and none of the world-class FMCers have done attempts on gelatinbrain anyway. For OLL parity avoidance, just add in an extra slice move before you finish the 3rd center.
