I don't know how close any of those places are to South Wales...

There's a comp in Cheltenham in August 2023, very close to South Wales and there's 5x5. Go destroy Dada.

Are you saying you can't improve 10 seconds in 9 months.

It wasn't to scramble lol, I went to the market and got back, then I did the 500th solve, hence the time jump.

Been a long time since I updated here.

I pretty much spent the rest of November practicing 5x5, got my ao100 to around 1:15, went on a break for 2 weeks-ish and I'm bored enough to pick up a cube again.
This is a pretty decent 5x5 ao5 I did this evening, featuring PB single.

I'm just gonna focus on learning L2E algs since I really don't have the vibe to solve cubes at all.

 

[Timona]

Haven't updated this thread in a while since nothing interesting happened, but I finally got that sub-1:15 ao100, right at the end of the year.

I am sorry. I have been lying to you all. I don't average 1:15 on 5x5, I still average around 1:30. Hope you can forgive me.

Nah, I'm just kidding. I'm in the UK rn and it's so cold, my fingers can't do anything. The 1:14 was just a decent solve. I'm gonna have to wait till Spring till I can cube again
