Today I finally succeeded in what has been one of my most ambitious long term goals in about 10 years. I finally got a sub-13 average of 12 on 3x3 (done at home).

10.28, 13.04, 13.24, 12.71, 11.37, 14.34, (15.44), (9.98), 13.91, 12.61, 13.11, 13.14 = 12.78 average

It took me 17 years to do it, and at the time I set this goal I thought it was so ambitious for me that I currently don't have a higher goal to now strive for. I'm still kind of in shock to be honest. Yay!

Congratulations!!!!
If you don't have a new goal I can give some suggestions, like sub-minute Megaminx, sub-2.50 2x2, ...
Whatever you decide to aim for, I wish you the best.

I hope I can achieve something like that before I turn 55 and I'm too old to turn fast Maybe I should aim to just sub-15 to be on the safe side, though. Ten years seems like a lot but it's not, really, time goes by like... fast!

Congrats! You even got a sub-10 single in there too. Great average

29.43 4x4 single, with O-perm.

O-perm? whats that?

 

[Genius4Jesus]

O-perm? whats that?

Take your 4x4, do Z perm, then do PLL parity.

Essentially it is an edge cycle where four edges move around the top layer like an "O".

I solved 2x2 today for the first time in 3 weeks, and apparently I'm faster now!

3x3 8.055 ao12, soooo close to sub 8, but It's hard to be mad when there were no screw ups.

E: rolled half the average: 8.041 ao12, getting kind of ridiculous now,

also 8.171 AO25

E2: 8.474 AO100, it feels awesome to be improving again even if only slightly. Considering I was still wavering near 9 seconds.

Is there a special alg for that, or do you just do Z-perm then Pll parity alg?

I should learn a good way to do O-perms (I do know there are algs out there), but right now I do PLL parity + Z-perm.

100 OH solves in one sitting!

but I still suck. and got worse.

Me and my awful lookahead throw up our hands and cry

Me and my awful lookahead throw up our hands and cry

My 4x4 look ahead is okay... But 5x5? I did a couple of 5x5 solves today.... Not pretty.
