September is moving so fast, I didnt realise half of the month is gone

anyway, I'm satisfied with my 4x4 progress for now so I've decided to grind Megaminx till the month ends. Which is basically watching example solves and implementing what I've learnt in solves.

Also, i didnt realise the Yuhu v2 is a "budget" magnetic

Spoiler: Some solves I did today, with a sub-1

In what world is a $12USD magnetic 3x3 dodecahedron not budget? Budget means cheap, not bad. I'm surprised people still think that way.

I do believe the value of a dollar is quite a bit higher, so it might not be cheap for him. At least I think that's what he was referring to

so it might not be cheap for him

Yeah it wasn't cheap for me, I'm in a 3rd world country.

PB fail lol. I was "done" with S2L at 46 secs, only to rotate and see that I inserted a corner wrong, so I had to correct the corner. The LL was really easy so if I hadn't messed S2L, would have definitely been sub-53.89.
