What's your PB 3x3 single?

[Oatch]

Nice. My PB was also a Niklas although it's a bit slower than yours... 11.44.

I always thought you were quite a lot faster than me, but looking at your signature it looks like I'm only about a second slower. My averages of 5/12/50 are 14.87/16.44/17.67.

That's pretty interesting, see, on the contrary I always thought you were faster than me - my improvement rate has been rather slow on 3x3. It's quite the coincidence to see that we average about the same!

I'd like to believe it's my last layer that is holding me back (atrocious fingertricks), so naturally my fastest solves are ones where my COLL solves the ZBLL case or I get a ZZLL that I'm very familiar with. Hopefully once I finish ZZ-b I'll alleviate this problem somewhat.

8.88, partially forced LL skip.

Comp PB is 16.88 or something like that, lol. (I've done only eleven timed 3×3×3 solves officially so far, versus tens of thousands of solves at home.)

Looks like a lot of people have FAST PB's (except for me )

8.9 and it is my only sub 9

 

[Mastermind2368]

7.00 and I have a 6.8 hand scramble that wasn't super lucky both with ZZ. Pretty good considering all I do is clock and OH

7.920 (PLL skip), also had a few sub 8.5 full steps.

18.69, 2 years ago, still my only sub-20, I think. 3-move x-cross, remaining pairs formed or nearly so into an OLL skip, if I recall correctly. My global average has gone from roughly 45 to about 29 since then.

Edit: I think I might be pretty competitive if we looked at ratio of 3x3 single to 4x4 single: I got a new 4x4 single today of 1:09.90, or 3.74. Average is even better: 1:34/29 = 3.24.

5.33

Scramble: R2 L D' R D U B' R2 F2 U F' D L2 B2 F2 D L U D F' U' R2 U D L2

z y U' r' R' D' //Cross 4/4

26 moves, 5.33 seconds, 4.8 TPS
First PB of 2018! Too easy a scramble, though!

Not sure why I commented here at all lol

Hey guys,

Just wondering what everyones PB single is for 3x3? I would love to hear everyones. Mine is 26.13!! I am sure other people are way faster then that. But I am trying hard to get faster.

Please post your best PB down below.

Thanks!

8.495 I got a PLL skip!

My pb is 34s, I feel embarrassed

My pb is 34s, I feel embarrassed

Thats not so bad. I am averaging around that time and I am trying to get sub-35. So me and you can be together

What are you averaging?

I mean, technically, if your definition of "FAST" is along the lines of "faster than me", then it's kind of impossible to have a "FAST" PB yourself…

(I used to think 30 seconds was fast, and then I thought 25 seconds was fast, and then I thought 20 seconds was fast, etc. It's a constantly moving target for some people, and if you have this mindset, you'll never be satisfied with your times. It's not necessarily a bad thing if you want to get faster, but don't be too obsessed with it.)
