Race to sub-25, Round 75
3x3 Speed (CFOP, 3LLL)

Ao12: 26.20

30.34 31.57 28.21 21.58 28.57 24.14 (32.63) 25.22 (21.52) 22.32 26.02 24.34

Quite inconsistent: the next three solves after these were all over 30 secs. But hey, PB Ao5 (23.89), and almost PB Ao12!

Maybe it's a good time to start practising lookahead properly.

PS. Brian, congrats on 1000th post on the thread!

Round 75:

Race to sub 30
Method: CFOP with 2-look OLL and full PLL, and color neutral
Average of 12: 00:26.96

12: 00:24.28
11: 00:26.77
10: 00:26.31
9: 00:27.24
8: 00:27.48
7: 00:28.81
6: 00:27.62
5: 00:29.39
4: 00:24.10
3: 00:27.59
(2: 00:36.05)
(1: 00:23.52)

Good average, although that 36:05 was really bad :/.
I actually did the reverse scrambles for the first four solves because I messed up really badly: I just learned the M algs for the U perms a week ago (instead of the RU ones) and for some reason I did the RU ones during the first solves but I actually couldn't execute the RU alg properly (having not used it for more than a week...), so after messing up two U-perms in a row I just started all over again...

Round 75
Ao12 Race to Sub-30
CFOP with Intuitive F2L (No Algs) 2 Look OLL and 4/5 PLL
Average: 26.76

12: 27.17, 11: 28.86, 10: 35.03, 9: 22.42, 8: 20.45, 7: 23.67, 6: 32.43, 5: 23.35, 4: 21.73, 3: 25.52, 2: 30.51, 1: 29.94.

I was upset that I couldn't go straight for a sub 25, but I haven't ever gotten a sub 25 Average. I was very pleased with the 20.45 which is one of my better times ever. I need to learn G and R perms, because those were most of my higher 20 second and 30 second solves. Those damn bars! Anyone know an easy way to learn them?

Method: CFOP with 2-look OLL and full PLL, and color neutral

3: 00:28.24
2: 00:25.82
1: 00:27.10

Well it all started very well, until I screwed up a bunch of algorithms during last 4 solves... For 3 seconds I forgot how to do my dot OLL algorithm, and then I also messed up one of my OLL algorithms wich actuallly swap two F2L pairs :rolleyes: .
I got pretty lucky though, had two OLL skips =) .

Oh wow, that's awesome

Those damn bars! Anyone know an easy way to learn them?

Well if you're looking for good algs cyotheking made some nice videos on all of the PLL's, including the 4 G perms and 2 R perms ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRZHt_6umybxXK7SMTT4UvC9me0lpwStF ).
But yeah G perms and R perms are pretty tricky to tell apart, and I remember I also had trouble learning all 4 G perms algs.

I've seen the videos, and I know that R-perms have headlights and G-perms don't, but the algorithms are not clicking for my like all the rest. Tekeur, it's nice to find someone who is around my speed online. Usually someone is either faster, or MUCH faster. Do you use intuitive F2L?

Pretty remarkable actually... only four solves above 30 seconds. Unfortunately the counting 38 did the average in.

Round 76
Ao12 Race to Sub-30
CFOP with Intuitive F2L (No Algs) 2 Look OLL and 4/5 PLL
Average: 27.64

I should really learn G-Perms. I had a few hiccups, and I changed from my Aolong V1 to my Guanlong to my Yuxin 3x3. Is that okay?
