What did you get?

Satisfaction, of course This is simply another home PB, not PR.

What about your time? Nice solve by the way (;

Thanks. Modest... PBs at now are not much better than those. PRs: 3x3 - 18.86/22.17, 4x4 - 1:13.99/1:35.53, 5x5 - 2:33.11/NA.

Well done! I can't solve 5x5 and average 23-25 secs on 3x3

Finally officially sub-20.

5BLD was main goal, but no success there. Had 1 slow 4BLD success. Coulda been low 9:00 but I was remembering my previous 5BLD memo for edges. Surprised I got it sorted out correctly, but wasted a lot of time. Two slowish 3BLD successes in 1st round. 3rd solve would have been PB 1:36 and first avg, but just missed by 8 corners and 11 edges. Don't know what happened there. Final round was all slow and none close. I'll blame fatigue. Other PBs were pyra single, and 4x4 by default

Congrats!

J perm is definitely the best YouTuber to learn from though

They are good but sometimes Jperm talks about things he knows a little like 3style or FMC.

I just got a 15.31 3x3 single! 0.05 seconds slower than my best. Orange cross was R' D R, F sexy F' OLL, took about a second to realize the PLL skip, but looks like it was a misscramble, so no reconstruction. :-(.

I agree that he seems to make videos as soon as he learns something. That said, I like how he explains it very simply. Like... “I just really figured out this basic stuff, so let me help you understand this same basic stuff.” I like it. I’ve learned a few things from him, but then learned more and moved away from his “tutorial/lesson”. But I learned a LOT from him that helped me understand more difficult content.

Yes, he is a well talented teacher. I've learnt a lot about 3x3 with CFOP from his videos - tutorials, example solves or solves critiques.

Finally, it took almost a year but got my first sub 20 today, and without a skip!

 

[AbsoRuud]

A quick question...

How old do you think a puzzle needs to be to be considered 'vintage'?

80s.

 

[Sergey]

80s.

Something like this one:

 

[Sergey]

Friday, 13... 4x4, 13 solves - all with OLL parities in a row, and 10 of them with additional PLL parities.

Sounds like my typical 4x4 session

Congrats, that's a big milestone for sure!
