Do you think it is possible to get sub-45 avg on square-1 after 1 week of knowing how to solve the puzzle?

 

[ClovisKoo]

Thanks so much mafergut! back to the last question um... is it hard to talk to people?

Nope

Maybe if you work on it constantly and the was the only cube you solved that week.

Can Mike Hughey solve a skewb blindfolded?

is there a forum were you can post your times?

Ya this thread called Accomplishment Thread where many cubers have posted there pbs(best times)

You could post it in the accomplishment thread, and save the page to put in your sig. (I'm assuming that's why you're asking)



On a different note, what are some 5x5 yau5 splits for 2:20?

what's yau5?

 

[goodatthis]

what's yau5?

It's basically Yau adapted to 5x5, except after you solve the last 4 centers and cross, you solve the F2L edges using freeslice, then you solve two f2l slots, and solve the remaining 4 edges by using the front two slots.

How do I get faster at 3x3? I use an along and full fridrich but average 35 seconds. Why???

Welp, this may not be the best answer but maybe you could try getting better at stuff like the cross or F2L lookahead if you haven't done so already. You could also try recognizing OLL/PLL patterns a little bit faster, again, if you haven't already done so. Look up a few tutorials for the cross & F2L (Don't really have any specifics in mind..) For the OLL/PLL, you could try drilling or use a software trainer. ^^

Now for my question.

Would it be a good idea to take new things I've learned (lookahead, color neutrality, etc.) and while doing solves, slow down to implement what I've learned instead of going fast as usual? Then gradually go a bit faster with the solves?

Practice + more practice.

Does the alignment mechanism on my shengshou 6x6 need to be in a certain way?

I just did an A05 with yau5 (note that it's not my main method). I got a 2:10 avg and my splits were about 12 for F2C, 26 for 3 cross edges, 30 for centers and last cross edge, 48 for edges (including 2 f2l slots in back), 7 for other f2l slots, and 8 for LL. So from that, I'm sure you can guess approximate splits for a 2:20 average. Good luck....

Because it takes a lot of time and practice. Focus on F2L and cross.

You learned full OLL that early on?

Many people have done that. I am not surprised though!

What does standard deviation mean? σ = 0.34

It's a measure of how spread out the times in a sample are. The lower the number, the more consistent your times.

Slowing down is generally good. But always remember that the aim of slowing down is to get more proficient so that later on, you can go fast again. Don't get stuck always slow-turning when the aim is to turn fast while using your advanced techniques!
