New 4x4 PB!! First sub 2 min (Haha, I rarely practice 4x4 XD)

 

[J41]

New 3x3 single PB: 16.95. Really happy.

Okay, now I *really* have to learn CFOP haha. I wonder how many people would still be using the beginner method a this point.

 

[Skewb_Cube]

Just started practicing 5x5 a couple of days ago and got a 2:40.76 ao12 and a 2:34.28 ao5 which is pretty nice.

3x3 pb:

 

[vidcapper]

Edging ever closer to the half hour mark on 9x9...

31m10s, a reduction of 38s on my old mark.

Also, *finally* broke 25m on 8x8 : 24m52, an 18s reduction.

 

[vidcapper]

I solve a whole range of puzzles, including the classic 3x3 cube, but since I cannot get my head around F2L (health issues affecting ability to commit to muscle memory), I mainly do bigger cubes where the 3x3 stage is relatively insignificant.

FYI my 3x3 PB is a measly 51s .

Maybe i'll just get the hang of this F2L yet!

Today, for the first time, I got an f2l solve below my beginners method (well, not pure beginners, as I use 4LLL) average, at 1m18.28s. Maybe not impressive by the standards of all the speedsolvers here, but for me, it was a major accomplishment!

I JUST GOT AN INSANE NEW 3x3 PB!!! 16.29 Almost 4 whole seconds less!!!

This was the scramble:

Just try the scramble to see how insane it is. Literally, it takes to moves to create an x-cross and insert a cross piece. It's insane for me... I did the x-cross, inserted the F2L pairs, then got a sune, and then a U Perm. It honestly was amazing.

First sub-10 with an N perm! (This makes the other N perm the only PLL case I haven't gotten a sub-10 single with yet, I think.)

2048 finally!!!

This is super not related to cubing, but: success in about 3:35, but it took me 20-ish attempts. I used to be able to get to 4096 semi-consistently, but I haven't played this in a while so I'm pretty rusty.

 

[AGMPenguin]

I just now, after around a year I think, got sub 30 (26.975).

 

[Cubing Forever]

Maybe i'll just get the hang of this F2L yet!

Today, for the first time, I got an f2l solve below my beginners method (well, not pure beginners, as I use 4LLL) average, at 1m18.28s. Maybe not impressive by the standards of all the speedsolvers here, but for me, it was a major accomplishment!

Impressive!!
At first, it might seem that F2L is hard but if you keep doing solves, you'll surely get the hang of it.

Reduced my F2L PB further to 1m11.92 today...

 

[vidcapper]

Absolutely annihilated my 12x12 PB with 1h16m10s, a gigantic 10m40s below my previous best!

PS, am getting a 13x13 soon, so watch this space...
