Shock oil rant:

Okay... so I finally called around today and found a shop that sells shock oil. I've been wanting to get some for a while. Here are the improvements I've made in the first day of using it

4x4: (previous best -> current)
Single- 57.xx -> 54.48 (two 54's today)
Avg 5- 1:05.85 -> 57.75 (uhhh what??)
Avg 12- 1:11.9x -> 1:03.19 (yes that's an ~8 second leap in average)

5x5: My previous best average of 5 was 1:58.75. The first 5 solves I did with shock oil averaged 1:59.93.... pretty awesome for the first solves considering it was my second sub-2 avg of 5 ever. My previous average of 12 was 2:03.xx and now it's 1:59.76. I'm not sure what the best average of 5 was there, but I don't really care because I finally broke sub-2 of 12 and had a ~4 second improvement on my best average of 12.

7x7: Previous best single was 6:59... I've been having an extremely hard time beating it. I did only 5 solves today for the weekly comp, and the average was 7:01, with a 6:41 and a 6:22. So that's almost a 40 second improvement on a single that I didn't think I was going to break for a while, and an average that was only a couple seconds off from it. The average improvement was also around 40 seconds.

Conclusion: If you don't have shock oil... please ask yourself why. This stuff is so awesome.

I haven't been seriously cubing since I started high school in august 2008. I'm on a sumer vacation now so I have time to cube again and this personal best average just popped out of nowhere. There are quite a few awesome solves for me.

In the same session I got an amazing 2 move x-cross with really easy LL too bad I messed up my F2L with lock ups.

Whoa soccerking 555 posts. That's like between triple death (444) and the devil.

BLD edges only w/ memo 2:28.xx

Why dont you post all of your blindfold accomplishments in the blindfolded accomplishments thread?

Because it wasn't full BLD and I happen to be at Accomplishments at the time.

New PB of 18.61 single. Not too bad considering that my average about a month ago was around 38. New PB average of 26.71 now.

 

[jcuber]

5x5 single: 1:49.99

First sub-1:50 (duh), YAY!

 

[King Koopa]

I did underwater solves today and got a 14 on my first try. i didn't use a good cube though
this is the first time i have every tired this

 

[Faz]

V cube 6 solves at the meetup today:

First ever solve: 8:30
2nd: 7:35
3rd: 6:32
4th 6:24
5th: 5:58

I'll get much faster. This was with a v-cube 6 that had only been solved about 3 times, and with no mods.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

YES! Megaminx: 1:23.90

 

[soccerking813]

Just generated my own algs for pretty much the first time. JaCube isn't really that hard. And the algs are shorter than I expected. Gonna start learning them I think.

 

[SimonWestlund]

First sub 15 average! Crazy!

I thought my first sub 15 avg would be around 14.99 or something because I've gotten sub 15.10 averages at least 10 times and my record was 15.01.. now I beat it.. big time..

only two sup 15s and they were 17 second solves! I hate that I get those sometime, usually a lot more often then in this average.. Nice 11.41 non-lucky with F perm as well
