The funny thing about my PB single progression is that I have not yet gotten a single 10 sec solve. I was steadily lowering times (13, 12, 11) and then I just jumped down to 9 seconds.

Continuing the session I had started yesterday. Some decent progression but I'm having a bad day (as in cubing) and won't do more solves. Sub 17 is getting closer though!!

Since Christmas is closing in, should I get a new 3x3 or a new puzzle?

If you don't have one, you should get something like a 15 puzzle. They are so epic.

Hmm... If you aren't satisfied with your 3x3, maybe you should get another magnetic one. If you're currently doing fine with your 3x3 puzzle, you can get other WCA puzzles such as pyraminx, skewb, megaminx, or a 15 puzzle. They are really fun and amazing!
I'm also currently thinking bout what I should get for Christmas. So many choices!

Now it's been almost 2 months since I reached sub 20. My average is now 17.5. Wonder when I will reach 15.

Had a pretty nice 3x3 session today. My average dropped about 0.3 seconds! Sib 17 is real close now. My cross - F2L transition has improved a lot.

I got a solve very like that for my first sub-10 (same last layer and had some 3 movers in F2L)! Congrats.

I couldn’t help but try to reconstruct it so does this look at all familiar…
z2 y2 D’ F’ L’ M2 U2 M2 // Cross
U’ R’ U R // Pair #1
Only cross I could find that gives a (technically) 3 mover at the beginning of F2L. You can remove the y2 rotation and do the cross from a different angle to give the same thing, but then this pair is in the back and not as noticeable.

Today my class had a zoom meeting and the teacher was new so she decided to show what she liked doing the most, then ask us what we liked. So, like any cuber would do, I decided to show off my PB. The teacher was very amazed. She said I might even be able to show off at a school assembly. 
Fun days.

Nice Man! Haha. Your PB is sub 10. No wonder your teacher is amazed. That's still really funny!!Today my class had a zoom meeting and the teacher was new so she decided to show what she liked doing the most, then ask us what we liked.

I would have just done a blind solve for 3x3… random scramble.

But can you do it in under ten seconds? (5 to pretend to do memo and 4 to execute)

So, my rate of progression has slowed down a lot. My average is about 17.25 with 320ish solves. So now, I am tackling OLL. First, I will train some algs I know. I think that will help with my recognition, especially for the lightnings. (Currently I have a very inefficient approach of matching to a certain position then AUF to execute alg)

Heck no. The world record isn't even under ten seconds. There is no way anyone, at this rate, can do 5 second recognition and 4 second execution.

Finally, my first 10 second solve. Funny it took this long.
Scramble shown on top as always.
