(2:21.12), 1:52.44, (1:47.45), 1:56.67, 1:53.21 = 1:54.11
considering I don't get sub-2 singles all that often, this surprised me :o
also 2:02.22 ao12

35s for l4e seems like more of a fail than a 20s 3x3x3 stage... :p

Scramble: U R B R U' R' U' B

-y' x inspection.
-See 2 move layer.
-Able to look ahead and see after layer will be hedge with opposite center to corner colour on one side.
-Notice I can cancel 1 move of hedge.
-Realize r 'R r can solve hedge. (Notation if you don't understand)
-Inspection up
-Execute
-Trying to look ahead..
-Skip! Skewb solved!
-**** pants!
-Come SMASHING down on timer.
-Skewb PB: 1.17 !!

Too bad I am too much of a nub to have been able to tell that it was a definitely a skip. Would have been faster. Second try was expecting skip was 0.68.
I saw the opp center to edge colours but I figure I wouldn't get a skip. Too many DNFs from premature timer stops thinking I saw a skip for one face.


EDIT: Ao5 PB 5.29 Ao12 6.85
EDIT #2: Ao50 7.60

It's L6E, not L4E ;) Actually I think it was L7E, because I make a 4x4x5 first, not really an XX-cross. But I do solve the cross edge after finishing the 4x4x5.
But 35 seconds for edges does sound very slow now you say that... that means each set of 8-10 moves (insert tredge, slice, insert other tredge, slice back) takes five seconds, or a little less than 2 TPS.
(can't be as bad as my centres though... nothing can be as bad as my centres. except maybe my cross edges)

Ah, I see. I assumed standard yau5 :)
And dw about it, my centres and cross are slow too (I average around 2:05, and my cross and centres tend to take like 1:00-1:05...)

EDIT: had a productive cubing morning
1:40.47 5x5x5 single, 2:01.55 ao12
5.54 skewb ao5

Nah, I can't do Yau or Yau5 on 5x5. I literally can't do the centres without commutators. I use Hoya5. Except I don't like Hoya cross edges - lookahead is almost impossible. Unless I turn at about 1 TPS. I sometimes look around the entire cube twice before I see the third edge piece I'm looking for. I only use it because I'm trying to find a fast way of reaching a 4x4x5 being solved, and I only know of OBLBL, Hoya5 and Yau5 to do this. I average 2:30 with Hoya5 and 3:00 with OBLBL, so I use Hoya5.
