OH, the key is consistency: 10.025, 13.111, 10.318, 13.229, 10.260 = 11.229

 

[JethroNull]

Had some pretty good progress these last couple of days:

Single: 13.5 -> 12.8
Ao5: 15.9 -> 15.4
Ao12: 17.2 -> 16.7
Ao100: 19.3 -> 17.9

Especially happy with that ao100.

 

[mafergut]

So I am actually sub 15 after all

Congrats! But was it really necessary to put the whole 1000 scrambles in the post? Even though you use a spoiler my browser has to download it all
Just kidding, not really pissed off or anything, and I hope I'm not pissing you off by mentioning this. Maybe somebody wants to try those 1000 scrambles to see how they do with them

Maybe reconstructions for the best solves of the Ao1000 would be more interesting for everyone, though.

Thanks! I can't reconstruct any solves though

I was having a bad time yesterday evening so I decided to fixate on cubing for a while because I had a 2x2x2 with me

I've now learnt half of EG-2 in about 16 hours lol

 

[Xtremecubing]

10.50 PB 3x3 average of 100, also a 10.39 average of 50 which is also PB.

Gogo sub 10!

 

[Xtremecubing]

Gogo sub 10!

Hopefully I can get there within the next couple of months.

 

[crafto22]

That's definitely not always true, for example, my PB 3x3 single is 9.3, but I have almost 20 sub 10's already. So if I get something like a 9.4, I definitely wouldn't consider it great, because I already have several solves of around that time.

Maybe I just can't understand. My PB is 6.5, but I have a lot of sub-7s, and I'm still super happy with a 6.6 or a 6.7 because I know that I am close to my PB and I'm getting good times. Heck, I'm happy when I get a sub-9, and my PB ao5 is sub-9. Just because you get alot of one time, so long as that is the best you do and that is what you are capable of, that is what should make you happy. This is all my opinion, of course.

<double post woops> Happy doesn't (always) equal good, for instance a sub-10 single makes me happy, even though it isn't extremely good for me.

 

[mafergut]

PB Pyra single and Ao5.

After 1 week of having learned Keyhole and WO it looks like I'm starting to improve a bit.

The PB single (5.21) is a crazy scramble, very nice for WO. It took me like 2 seconds to get the two last tips right. It could have been a low 4 or better if I had not panicked

[Xtremecubing]

10.22 average of 50, and 10.45 average of 100, it feels like I've dropped like .4 of a second in the last five days.

 

[TheChaiCuber]

Finally got my Ao1000 sub-17 (16.99s) in 2505 solves using Cstimer. So happy! Crazy to think 2 months ago I was about 1.5 seconds slower on average. By the end of the semester I hope to be a legit 15-16s solver! Sub-15 will be within reach!!

COME ON GET SUB10 OFFICIAL
ahem
gj! I find I'm slower when I'm sick, but whatevs

 

[Torch]

That single O_O
and I hope you feel better soon

Funnily enough, that was my only sub-9 in the entire session, even though I usually get one or two 8's in that many solves.
And thank you for your concern, I think I'm through the worst of it. I'm more worried now for the people I was in contact with over the last couple days.

inb4 I get a ludicrous single at Peach State, it causes a controversy because I was the organizer, then suddenly massive Speedsolving thread war
