When you got your first sub 10 single, what was your average of 100 PB? I have a 14.78 AO100, and I still don't have a sub 10. I've come very close, and failed a lot of fast solves.

In February, I got a 9.50 when my ao100 PB was 17.85. F2l was pretty easy and I had a 7 move last layer.
It's still my only sub-11. Basically sheer luck and I probably got it way earlier (in terms of average) than most people.

I got my first sub-10 single when I was averaging about 14.9 on an average of 100. I'd say you may be due soon, but really try to go faster on solves and push yourself. You may get worse averages of 12, but your fastest singles may drop below 10 seconds. That's what I was trying at the time.

I just realised that this particular N perm for OH:
R U R' U R U2 R' U' R U2 L' U R' U' L U' R U' R'
is actually just sune + some ZBLL.

That ZBLL section is actually pretty nice for diagonal swap antisune COLL.

sure you can call it that,
but it's also this:

(R U R' U) // setup
R U2 R' U' R U2 L' U R' U' L // J perm
(U' R U' R') // undo setup

Indeed.

I'm interested to see what will happen to Sebastian Weyer's 5x5 times because of the Aochuang. His solving style seems to fit the Aosu perfectly, and the Moyu 5x5 is undoubtedly more similar to the Aosu than to the Shengshou 5x5.

This sounds good.

Taewon Hwang 10.67 official average with Roux

I guess the method is still spreading around Asia

What would some of you guys consider to be your biggest contribution to the cubing community?

For me, my CxLL Guide would probably be my biggest contribution. Its small, but I think it did help the community.

Kaijun Lin is faster.

I haven't contributed much. I do have some ideas about Yau versus Reduction on 5x5 that I'd like to write down, and that might be worth something once I do it.

I contributed...
This N perm: z U' R' (U D') R U' R2 D R' D' R2 (U D) R' U' R U
and this OLL: R2 S' R2 U' S2 U' R2 S' R2

I don't think I've contributed at all :/

Nothing, yet.

Seeing this inspired me to make a OLL Sheet.
Will do for PLL Later onwards

spamming "or you could just use petrus" at every opportunity
I haven't really contributed much, but maybe Hoya5? I am the only person who uses it (that really does show how good a contribution it is ), but I still think it's a decent method.

Ha! I just realized that you can make the cube-in-a-cube pattern by doing two 3-cycle commutators of 2x1x1 blocks! I don't know why I never thought to do that before. Previously I had always done the dot-pattern on centers, then done two edge 3-cycles and then twisted the two corners to build the inside cubes of the pattern. I'm sure others already knew of this. Neat

 

[Robert-Y]

Or you could even go step further and do a 3-cycle commutator of L shaped blocks using a double turn for the interchange(? not sure if this is the right word)?

does anyone have any memorizing tips!
