Did it! I got a bit cocky and thought I'd be fine doing this session while also trying to watch a cricket game in the background - came so close to failing!

I'm ill, I didn't expect to do well, at least the last solve was nice.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you get better soon!

 

[muchacho]

Thanks. Sure, next week I won't fail because of being ill, but anyway I'll probably fail to be sub-25 again

I'm doing some untimed slow solves meanwhile so I don't get depressed by bad times.

[Shaky Hands]

Just wondering if there's a record for longest to successfully graduate without skipping any weeks?

 

[un5poiled]

Thanks Brian for your work in running this - it's been a great help and much appreciated.

Just wondering if there's a record for longest to successfully graduate without skipping any weeks?

Your determination will prevail Shaky Hands! I think I'll take a break a bit before entering the race to Sub 25 - otherwise I know I'll get that record there.

Cheers un5poiled. I'm nothing if not stubborn! :tu

Good luck on the next tier!

Improved 1 second from last week but none of the solves felt really great, so a lot of room for improvement still until I get close to my normal white/yellow times. It wasn't on purpose, but on this week's average I did exactly 3 crosses on each colour The 12th solve had a 3-move cross on both white & yellow so it was sooo sad to have to do green... even though green cross was very nice as well (5 moves).

Why don't you go on to the sub 20 race?

 

[Joel2274]

Why don't you go on to the sub 20 race?

I already submitted a ao12 there. I just think the more comps there are, the better cuz I like racing

 

[mafergut]

I already submitted a ao12 there. I just think the more comps there are, the better cuz I like racing

Then do what I did. Invent a new race and compete with that. I moved from my standard white/yellow cross to red/blue/orange/green cross to try and become CN. Then you can, I don't know, use some handicap, like no inspection, or when you're faster try OH sub-30, or with a different method, like Roux or ZZ.

Ok. I sort of already started becoming color neutral, (I made a race thread) but about OH, most people that do it do it with their left hand even though they are right handed. I know nothing about OH solving, nor have I started, but I feel more comfortable with my right. Also, if I do start OH, are there any more algs to learn? and doesn't ZZ work better with OH?
