Average of 100 O-H

Some how I still got ''spice after doing 100 solves ;)

But now I practised 5x5 a bit and my left hand is tired for two days now and the worst is my OH cube is dead... so now I turn in a cube and by time I will have a good cube I hope :unsure:

But yeah sometimes I haven't touched a cube and for a week and if I'll do a solve it will be mostly a fast solve for me :rolleyes:

Sorry to keep you guys waiting, but currently my OH cube is down, I am now playing constantly with one specific cube right now, it took me 5 months to get it that loose/smooth for my old cube... I hope this cube will be a lot smoother in a week after I cleaned it :unsure:

Thank you for the interest in my cube log haha :lol:
 
I am glad to see that I am not the only one behind schedule.

I had planned to solve 1000 cubes OH in one month (about 35 per day) but so far I have only done 150.
Well, I hope I will find motivation next week in Morocco (vacation) to practice a bit. Otherwise, I will have to practice for just one week before the Czech Open...

Anyway, we will see who wins. :P

Good luck with your new cube ! ;)
Gilles
 
LOL Gilles, the Czech Open will be fun, but I also wanna do good on the 4x4 and 5x5, but I have a little bit more chance to win the OH event... so I want to practise bigcubes and BLD but I also need to turn in my cube Grrr... <_<
 
Yeah, I am also going to do Pyraminx, BLD and Magic at the Czech Open 2007 maybe even Megaminx, because I like to do ''official'' solves, even if it is just an average solve, it feels great. :)

PS: I just focussed a lot on OH, till the Spanish Open then I focussed on the 3x3 speedsolve, because my OH cubing times where around 2 seconds slower then with two hands :blink: And now some dude named Erik said to me that I was crazy of just doing 2x2 3x3(OH) and I agreed. :rolleyes: :lol:
 
I noticed that (at the US Open 2007)

1) Americans are completely focussed on 3x3x3 and they took all prices for 3x3x3, 3x3x3_oh and 3x3x3_bf.
2) Europeans took almost all prices for other puzzles.

The Dutch are even worse than Europeans. Most of us like to participate (and be pretty good) on every puzzle someone throws at us.

Just name 1 official event that the Dutch are not good at (as in potential/former WR). All I can think of is .....blindfolded.

2x2x2: Erik
3x3x3: Jo?l
4x4x4: Michael
5x5x5: Ron
3x3x3_oh: Rama
Magic/Master Magic/Clock/Pyraminx: Alexander Ooms
Square-1: Michael
MegaMinx: Erik

And most of those events actually have several good Dutch competitors (Ron on 4x4x4 and 3x3x3, Erik on almost everything, Mark van Beest if he would go to a competition)

And then there is me. In most other countries I would be considered "rather fast", but in the Netherlands I don't think I even rank top 5 on anything.

You're forgetting the 4x4x4 - Americans swept the 4x4x4. I think that maybe the problem is just that the Americans are behind the curve a bit. They're just now starting to pay attention to the other puzzles, which you Europeans have been getting good at for years. But I think they're starting to catch up, and they started with the one that's closest to the 3x3x3 - the 4x4x4.
 
Good observation! I would have expected Matt Walter or Lars vandenBergh to win this though.

The non-US guys took 1 and 3 in the qualification and 4,5,6 in the finals. Also, Leyan(-10)/Dan(-10)/Chris(-2) all broke their personal bests

But Matt (+9)and Lars(+9) didn't

Very true. I noticed the same thing. If things had been just a little different, Matt and Lars might have won easily.

However, I think it's worth noting that Leyan, Chris, and Dan all broke their personal bests by significant amounts - even in the first round, which implies that they are actually working on it. That's the difference - it looks like the CalTech guys are actually paying attention to the 4x4x4 now, which is an apparent shift for them. Is the 5x5x5 next?
 
What's the connection between losing at blindfold and solving a 5x5x5? I don't see why solving a 5x5x5 would mess up your 3x3x3 blindfold skills, but maybe that's because I'm not very good at them, relatively speaking. For me, 5x5x5 helps my blindfold skills, if anything.

I also notice Macky vowed to give up the 5x5x5 a couple of years ago. It seems like there must be some connection.
 
Say you and I dedicate 1 hour a day to practice all the events you want to take part in at the next competition.
Here, say 3x3 BLD and 5x5 speedsolving.

If you spend 30 minutes on 3x3 BLD and 30 minutes on 5x5 and if I spend 60 minutes on 3x3 BLD and 0 minutes on 5x5, on the long run, I will be much faster on 3x3 BLD than you.

Don't you think ?
 
Okay, I guess you're right about that. And the 5x5x5 takes longer to practice than most of the others, so I guess that must be it. I was just wondering what was special about the 5x5x5 in particular, but I guess it's probably the amount of time required to practice it.

So I guess the chance of these guys getting good at 4x4x4 or 5x5x5 BLD is pretty low, huh? (But note that Macky, at least, has done 4x4x4 blind: http://www.speedcubing.com/records/recs_bf_444.html.) (And of course, that's a shameless opportunity to brag about my 4x4x4 blind, since I'm right below him!) :)
 
Cubes Solved: 100
Total Pops: 0
Average: 25.61

Fastest Time: 18.48
Slowest Time: 33.88
Standard Deviation: 03.06
It was a weird average. Probably because it took place around 2-3 am. I started off sub 25 average then suddenly after the first 12 the solves went way up in times then around 50 or more I got back up to speed finally peeking at a low around of 23.77 around solve 95.
Only 2 sub-20's loads of 20.xx tho.
