Clock and Other Things (Clock is Back)

Just dropped my TengYun on asphalt and it’s completely fine. #DaYanamite

You can have this one since you do clock.

Clock haters don’t get it. We’re over here solving time itself.

So very true. It is a dumb event, but it doesn't deserve all the hate.

I agree with part of that.

Have not been able to beat my clock pb in so long. I keep getting 5.6-5.8 averages, but I cannot break 5.5 for some reason.

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

Gonna adjust goals for this next comp a little bit. It’s been almost a month since I set the previous ones. First number is minimum goal—second number is really good goal.

Driving over six hours for this comp, so I hope things go well!!

2x2: Sub-4.75; Sub-4

3x3: Sub-20; Sub-19

Pyraminx: Sub-4.75; Sub-4

Skewb: Sub-6.5; Sub-5.75

Clock: Sub-6.2; Sub-5.8-5.9 (With a Sub-5 single??)

FINALLY got a new clock PB average!

Ao5: 5.43

1. 5.01
2. (9.22)
3. 5.34
4. (4.74)
5. 5.95

I’m so happy rn. It’s been way too long since my last PB.

@DuckubingCuber347 If you‘re gonna sad face every post that mentions clock, then I don’t get why you’re on my mostly clock progression thread.

He likes to do that with any event he doesn't like.

*sad memories*

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

Another clock PB average! Would have been really really good if I hadn’t totally messed up the last solve. Had almost a full cross on that last one but choked.

Ao5: 5.34

1. 5.23
2. (4.71)
3. 4.73
4. (6.13)
5. 6.06

@DuckubingCuber347 Nobody is forcing you to do clock. This is kinda immature. I work hard for my PB’s.

It's my personal choice to react with an emoji for absolutely no reason other than mention of solving clock. If you are getting offended by it you can put me on your block list. I don't remember ever saying I was doing or being forced to do clock.

Also, by definition I am immature as my brain is not fully developed. My reactions are not meant to offend, and I apologize if you feel that way. If you still are bummed by the emoji, I again encourage you to block me. I only do this because I like messing with myself (something I would rather not explain). I don't see why it is a problem if someone feels differently about things than you.

I don't like clock, it's an interesting puzzle, but not something I would ever pursue. I feel the same way about skewb. I don't sad face skewb posts though. Like I said, don't take offense, I'm just having fun. If it did hurt you I hope this post clears it up and you can move on with your life and not have any unfortunate thoughts that may have been caused by my actions.

Quack!

I do appreciate you clearing things up in words. I was only annoyed in all honestly, not offended by a reaction. Sometimes things just aren’t necessary. I don’t mind that you dislike clock at all, and that doesn’t phase me one bit. I’m not going to make this a big deal by any means, and we can just move on if that’s alright by you. I’m simply here to track my PB’s and goals.

Comp in one week. Honestly super nervous, since I haven’t competed since May. I’ve been grinding clock a lot, but also trying to make sure my other events get attention as well. Any tips for comp nerves?

 

[DynaXT]

Any tips for comp nerves?

Not really. For me the nerves just kinda left after my first two comps (with a few exceptions where I had one solve left to get a decent result). I guess just think of it like you're home solving under normal conditions.

Don't do 2x2.

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

Don't do 2x2.

Oh 2x2 is historically a disaster event for me. First comp EVER my old DaYan exploded twice. Ended with an average over a minute. At my last one I got a DNF and a counting 14 or something. I also warmed up with a clock which was an absolutely terrible decision. 2x2 is at this comp, so I just want to do alright and not completely fail, haha.

 

[NigelTheCuber]

Don't do 2x2.

well at least that means that no one will beat my 2.42 avg
