Thanks. Yeap, a little over a year. How is it now? The Zhanchi is very nice, found a tension that somehow let the pieces 'snap' back into place and very speedy :3 But still pops on A perms *frowns*

The GuHong is very nice now, thanks a lot :) Did the mods, and sort of cleaned the core and pieces. Compared to the GuHong you tried the other day, it's slightly slower, but the smoothness is definitely there, and it's controllable. I really really like the feel :D Popped 8 edges (4 U edges, 4 D edges) and blasted silicone in them, broke in for a while, then retensioned, then sprayed it like 2 more times (1 edge only). That's a lot of silicone :3. I too have found a nice tension for it. Did a few avg5s with my old main and it, and preferred it. (the times were slightly better as well). Yayy glad we both like our new cubes <3

Was averaging about 25 seconds on Thursday, but I got an official 22.85 average on Saturday at MIT Spring. I have no idea why I all of a sudden improved a ton, but I now average low 20s, so I won't complain.

I also got an 11.xy average on pyraminx with an 8.xy single –– I cannot replicate these times at home. I do not know why I all of a sudden got really good on the day of the competition, then went back to normal.

SUB 9!!!!
I don't think this deserves yet another thread of mine though. I've posted waay too many videos lately.


It was a 9.0x avg12 until this. I got this, then DNF [I aborted solve because i solved with the wrong blocks], 13, DNF [overinspection]. Mind you, the DNF didn't affect the average at all. Only the second made the whole average not valid :(

So much for a sub-9.1 avg12 on video :/

The zhanchi silk is amazing :)
Feels just like my good old zhanchi... only without the clackiness :D

I just realised this is the fastest Roux average on video. Maybe it IS worth a thread?

B2 U' L F2 D B L' U' R D F2 R' U' F2 D2 R' B' L2 U' D2 B2 D' R2 L2 U2
I can't find my solution, all I remember is a H perm, with U2 AUF.
Also 14.99 average of 100, not pb, but it was with stackmat. 12.31 avg 5, with a counting 10!, 14.14 avg 12. Not pb's but with stackmat.

Got my first Square 1 and solved it, now to memorize the parity algorithm D:

Did a timed solve w/o having memorized algorithms and got 5:57

And I just got my first sub 20 3x3 solve. It was an X-Cross with only a Z-Perm
