Lol, today I lent my Gan 12 Maglev to my friend during school. He was cubing in Chinese class (we're not in the same class) and the cube got confiscated by the teacher. Afterwards the teacher told me she's going to return the cube to me next Monday. To make up for it my friend allowed me to take his MGC elite for the weekend. Guess I'll be grinding 2x2 if I finish my homework early.

Why is cube confiscation basically happening all around the forums right now lmao

imagine Chinese class

Happened to me in 5th grade but the teacher said that she would give it back at the end of the year lol. Cube was a qiyi thunderclap.
I never saw the cube again.

I have 1 hour of chinese class every day and I have to say it's torture...

True, I was glad we had a fire drill during Chinese today.

you're lucky, in my school if they have to disrupt lessons to do other stuff it's never during chinese

 

[Imsoosm]

I almost forgot to post, that piano competition I went to, I got second place, and I'm moving on to finals. Finals are around 10.1-10.4

 

[baseballjello67]

In my school my math teacher doesn't care about drills unless it's real

reading this thread makes me feel old

My school doesn't offer Chinese but I have 4 classes every day that are an hour and a half long each and it sucks. Also I'm taking nine classes in total, one of which is online.

College or high school?

 

[SpeedCubeLegend17]

College or high school?

High school, but my online class is a college class, and most of my classes are either dual credit or AP. (I'm not sure if those programs are only a thing in the US, but they are kinda like college classes but taught at the high school)

Okay, I'm going to ask my dad to buy me Tornado V3 and XMD Flare on October 1st (sorry supernova), because we have an 8 day long holiday. Maybe going to bribe him for 4x4 and supernova on New Year.

 

[Imsoosm]

I'm going to stop learning new algs because if I do my brain would be stuffed overload with French vocabulary and Rubik's cube notation

You're maturing.

 

[Imsoosm]

Today in French class we talked about foie gras. Luckily my teacher said he doesn't eat them, otherwise I would've ran up to the teacher and stab him with my pencil I would be very angry.

 

[Imsoosm]

My friend's Tornado V3 Standard arrived yesterday, and he brought it to school today. I have to say it's an amazing cube, much better than my current Gan 12. Corner cutting and slice turns are so good I can do RUS U perms 100 times without messing up. The cube feels really buttery and soft, and the sound it makes is really small. The only thing I don't like about it is that the magnets are kind of weak, you can do M2 without double flicking lol.

I'll ask my dad to buy the Pioneer version (magnetic core + maglev) and the Flare in early October, maybe after I finish the piano competition.

An amazing ao5 with three 8s with the Qiyi MS. (borrowed from my friend) If I still remember the solutions I'll do some reconstructions later

I can finally understand why DuckubingCuber347 likes this cube so much. The turning is very stable and the corner-cutting is actually very decent. It feels a bit heavier than the cubes I usually use, but I like it a lot. The clacking noises are also pretty satisfying. I average pretty much the same on the Qiyi MS than on the Gan 12 Maglev.

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

The noise is probably my favourite thing about the MS. Something about it is just super satisfying.

 

[Imsoosm]

Practiced a bit of 3x3 today because I still have 4 more days of break, but I'm going to stop now because I just got 5 consecutive V perms.

Aside from that, here is a poggers ao12: the second sub-10 ao12 I ever got.
