Racing to sub-20

Wasn't aware there were newer models. How are the new ones different from the older ones?

The material is ABS instead of POM. I don't think there are any other differences although I have heard that not all cores are the same (don't think that matters)
The POM felt soft and round, the ABS feels sharp. It shouldn't matter so much.....but it does.

So a stopwatch and a calculator are very similar things now?

Because I'm in a good mood, I will admit you're right, they are differents :p

Why did they have to mess with the old Guhongs

Why did YOU have to mess with your old Guhong ? :p You stupid ! ^^

But : I still have my Guhong, and I am really hesitating about what I sould do with it. I don't use it anymore, I use Lunhui because it's just looser and can turn faster (once you control it ^^). So I thought about modding it (like the godly guhong)... but in a way, it's my nice little guhong from Hong Kong, I'm kind of attached to it and I don't really want to risk messing it up, I'd be too sad if it turns out crappy ! So... I think I will try modding a guhong, but not that one XD
So my point is : I don't use it anyway, I could eventually lend it to you for an undetermined period of time :p That is if you promise you don't try boiling/frying/destroying by fire/putting it in a microwave and other stupid ideas. (Guhongs aren't cactus you know ! They don't resist those kind of treatments ! :p)
And it also gives me a good excuse to see you often when you get back to the Netherlands : I'll be visiting and checking on my guhong XD
Does that sound like an idea to you ?

And finally my "sucky" average done with really sucky light : 18.62, 18.48, (22.82), (18.14), 22.07, 19.00, 22.43, 19.24, 22.63, 19.74, 19.14, 21.77 = 20.31
Still beats Arnaud so I'm okay with it :p
 
Hahahaha ! 1 week and 5 days from now ! :D (I am soooo counting XD)
But yes, I'll bring it with me then ;-) You'll have a 2 1/2 month essay period before I decide to leave it to you or not :p

I thought the POM only came in white. anyway I had a white POM...didn't really like it so I gave it away.

Round 117
22.21
19.62, 22.78, (27.67), 27.38, 23.01, 22.57, 19.44, 20.40, 22.54, (18.36), 22.81, 21.56

Starting to get used to the GuHong. Still some really bad solves in there, but other than the terrible ones, it went really well. I'm finding that the GuHong really supports "normal", "standard" fingertricks well, but some of my odd ones (like some of the thumb moves) don't work well at all. So maybe this will help correct my style, because the bad things I do don't work on this cube.
 
Round 117

(17.98), 20.91, (28.78), 27.74, 23.24, 22.52, 25.47, 21.02, 27.21, 24.83, 19.52, 25.13 = 23.70

a bit mixed this time, i was in a room with those stupid energy saving lightbulbs so it wasn't as good as it could be. once ive learned full oll which should be sometime next week and when ive orderd a guhong which will also be next week, my times might actually get close to sub 20, a bit of f2l practice should be the final nail in the coffin
 
Round 117

26.97

Dayan Guhong
CFOP 2 look OLL, full PLL
white cross

1.(20.33)
2.(35.72) F2L fail
3. 30.16
4. 26.11
5. 27.55
6. 27.22
7. 22.98
8. 22.92
9. 22.83
10. 31.75 PLL fail
11. 27.98
12. 28.09

Started off with a bang, and once again best solve is followed by my worse solve. Seems to be my trademark. Not going to give up.
