made two records today..
in snake both average and single.. single was 4.18 and don't remember the average.. sub-5 anyway and 3x3BLD had a 4:42.45 (H) Like 2 minutes better than my last PB! I wish I would had success on that 5:xx solve on a comp :) In two months I have a second try.. then this my official record will be broken for sure. by me or by someone else.. I don't know yet.

I obtained 1:20 on my 3x3 Void cube. The void cube cannot cut corners at all and does lock up a fair bit. This is my best time for the Void cube. And I got 28:30 for the 7x7 too.

I can now solve a Face Turning Octahedron. This puzzle took me a loooong time and a ton of work, and I received not an ounce of outside help. I consider this my biggest cubing accomplishment to date.
I don't know what that is, but congrats! :D

You can now find these on ebay, C4Y, dealextreme/dealperfect, and probably more places.

Be warned, it's the hardest easy puzzle ever (in my opinion at least ;))

4x4:

1:08.70, 1:18.36, (57.28), 1:19.82, (2:05.51)==>1:15.63

methods used: k4, reduction, sandwich, cage (pkf), LBL

Gave this a try too.

(49.66), 1:15.32, 1:07.89, 1:19.06, (1:38.58) => 1:14.09

reduction, K4, eido style roux-by-four, columns, sandwich.

sandwich was fail for me too :(

54.21, 54.86, 1:18.45, 1:06.78, DNF(2:14.35) => 1:06.70

reduction, K4, eido style roux-by-four, columns, fail (some cage crap).

I forgot how sandwich goes...

Solver: mini (who sttill happens to have a fractured finger)

Average: 19.49

Times:
21.20 (nothing new, just an OK solve)
22.95 (another OK)
17.17 (EO skip, but very good otherwise)
16.50 (partial 2nd block skip and really fast LSE)
19.50 (really good full step!)
24.06 (decent, not as bad as it could be)
23.41 (it was a little slow, but about my usual)
16.43 (EO and M-slice edges skip)
22.65 (another standard time)
18.46 (wow, my fastest non lucky yet!)
16.63 (what is up with all of these EO skips?)
15.59 (haha CMLL skip, tied my fastest solve ever)

Comment: Let's see:
-5 lucky solves, all of them sub-18
-1 non lucky sub-19
-7 sub-20 solves in total
-first sub-20 average of 12 (or 5 for that matter)
-rolling average of 17.17
-my first CMLL skip during a timed solve (I think)

EDIT: This took about an hour of warm up to get my left hand fully warmed up because I'm only using 3 fingers on my left hand instead of 5.

I used mainly SS and Guimond, with a few CLLs thrown in there. This was part of a 3.63 avg of 25. I will hopefully have more time to continue it into an avg100 tomorrow.
