Part of a long Mefferts 4x4x4 session:

59.09 avg12: 52.68, 56.24, 55.06, 1:02.91, 1:04.09, (52.04), 1:01.97, 57.30, 1:02.34, 1:02.47, (1:09.72), 55.88

Video of the 52s to be uploaded.

If that 52 had been one solve earlier, it would've made a sub-55 avg5.
Anyhow, I didn't think I could do sub-1, but now it feels doable. I am so going to try to destroy Robin's 55 at Berkeley.

not mine but still... wtf o.0
http://hi-games.net/cube-2x2x2/watch?u=187

don't we all hate people that get so lucky :/

yeah, im shocked that this 1 move solve didnt get removed for being too lucky.

Why? Solves don't get removed from hi-games for being lucky. Why should a 1-mover be an exception?

i was birding him.

...what?

i know him in real life, i always like to make fun of him when he gets lucky, gets a good solve, etc etc.

No, I mean, I've NEVER heard that term before. Also it isn't on urbandictionary.

I use purple instead of orange on the really big cubes now because orange and yellow looked too similar, I'll only switch back if I can find a shade of orange that doesn't get me confused with yellow or red.

Have you tried gray? I like it even more than purple, it's really different from all the other 5 colors.

lol, bird in chinese is "niao", which is really a singaporean teenage slang that is used to describe an act of irritating others...for example..."niao me lor!"
"lor" is another singlish ending to the sentence...so that translates into "you are irritating me!!!!" =D hope that helps...generally I think that certain terms of singaporean slang make no sense...

back to topic:
my first sub 1 4x4 solve in a week. 59.08 =D centre control ftw!

 

[gasmus]

[dChan]

Woot! First sub-20 average of 12 ever since I took a break from cubing. I probably shouldn't get too excited, though. I have to see if my times hold up.

I'm used to purple already, though, from every time I pick up one of my Eastsheen cubes to play with
