Accomplishment Thread

Finally got another 6x6 PB!

2:35.96 single, 2:43.35 Mean of 3 and a 2:50.45 Average of 5!

Although that was great, I think there is a larger accomplishment that needs to be recognized.

I exploded my entire 6x6. Every single piece was out of the puzzle. My Dad spent 3 hours and 30 minutes putting it back together. That's the real accomplishment.

Edit: Just noticed my 6x6 Mo3 is better then my previous PB.

almost learned full pll the only remaining ones are g(b) and g(d)

Do you Roux OH?

yes :3

 

[Coolster01]

Yuussssssss, first BLD sub-1:20

(1:15.099) R' F R L' D' R' D2 F2 D L2 D2 L2 F2 L2 F' U2 F L' Rw'

I also got a 1:09 fail by two twisted corners (I didn't see them in the memo) :/

Maybe I'll get into this. I also want to polish up my MBLD to make sure that I can go for 9 next week.

10.88 avg12 I need to finish learning full Pll, also 37.xx 4x4 mo3, and 1:25.73 5x5 meh single

How are you that fast without full pll?

also first sub-40 single, cool

Got some nice official accomplisments this weekend!
- First sub-13 3x3 average! (Unfortunately no sub-12 single or average, I had a rough time with nerves and tiredness...)
- First official 3x3 BLD success! Sup-5, but hey it's still a success!
-6th in canada for Clock average with a sub-14 average! (Mostly because hardly anyone in canada does clock XD)


It's a shame I can't say I got a low 30 fewest moves solve because I didn't write the solution down properly.... maybe next year

Well you don't know how many PLLs he hasn't learnt. If he has like 2 that he needs to learn it is not impossible.

That is crazy. Brief description of method?

Oh dayum the last time I tried I got 1:30ish
Have you timed solves with jumbling too?

I've stuck to non-jumbling so far since there's no scrambler for it and it's waaay more confusing, but some people in this thread (from a few years ago) experimented with it, I'm not sure how fast they got though. This is also where I got the general method and some algs.

That is crazy. Brief description of method?

It's not very complicated tbh, basically a LBL approach:
- build a face on D (just 4 centers)
- form triads of a D-layer corner + its 2 other corresponding centers
then for last layer:
- CO - very easy, algs are 2.5 moves on average (can be done pretty much intuitively anyway)
- CP - 9 algs, average ~9 moves but are pretty easy to remember (whole step can just be done with j-perm too, which is just (UF UB) UL (UF UB))
- LL centers - done using 3 algs + setup moves

I can go more into depth if anyone's interested - I think qqwref's got even faster times using basically the same method as well.

I only dont know G and N perms, and my f2l and cross is around 5-8 seconds, I also spam tps

I only learned V perm a few days ago. Also, learn the G perms, they aren't that bad

Nice, congrats See if you can cut two or so seconds off for UWR.

Thanks Hopefully I can find something to improve, those UWRs are pretty tough.

12.76 PB ao5

1. (10.47)
2. 14.71
3. 11.37
4. (15.76)
5. 12.19

Bj counting 14 but still PB anyway. Also the 10.47 is a non-lucky PB.

 

[Iggy]

4:54.86, 5:01.94, 4:58.56, 5:05.15, 4:55.56, (4:54.84), 5:08.94, (5:32.19), 5:03.03, 4:55.90, 5:04.43, 5:11.09 = 5:01.95 7x7 avg12

Not PB, but very consistent for me. The last solve would've been sub 5 if I didn't get a pop during PLL

 

[EMI]

Why don't you just film some solves? People will find it hard to believe these times if you don't at least upload a *decent* average. Like, 1.7 average of 12 should be easy for you.

 

[TheCoolMinxer]

6:27.19 6 sided megaminx ball single lol, if practised, it could be sub 3 easily. What is UWR btw?

 

[Rubiks560]

woah. Never even heard of you. Looks like my UWRs are finally done with. Nice average!
