gsingh's Road to Sub 6

[Running for cube]

I am already sub7!

In what, 2x2?

 

[baseballjello67]

Uh no he meant 7!

that's 5,040

I live in the same state as Max Park...

Worry more about PRing and less about placing. Placing is not important. As you get better, you NATURALLY get podiums.
My cross country coach has a saying: Let the season do the work.

 

[Arcanist]

an ! after an number is a factorial or that number multiplied by itself -1 then -2, then -3... over and over so 7! is 7*6*5*4*3*2*1. They can be useful in probability for trying to find how many ways you can combine things.

In what, 2x2?

Mains and Goals for BASC 44 2023:

3x3: Sub 9 Average, PR Single
Cube: Angstrom Gan 12 M Maglev

4x4: Sub 38 Average, PR Single
Mystic Yj Mgc

3x3 OH: PR Average, PR Single
Cube: Gan 11 M Pro

Skewb: PR Average, PR Single
Cube: Meilong Skewb

The venue is a sports convention, and it's extremely loud and disturbing. It's messing up everyone's solves. I cube dropped on every OH solve because the commentator for the boxing tournament (IN THE SAME ROOM) would yell repeatedly.
On track to lose my PR streak (unless I do well in skewb)

 

[gsingh]

Yesssssss 8.87 3x3 average and 37 4x4 average

 

[gsingh]

Comp started off weird, then it got a bit quieter and I was able to get some nice results.
I failed a sub 8 3x3 average in R2 but we don't talk about that (the 9.79 was a plus 2 and the 12.18, I did the wrong pll and plus 2'ed).

9.79 was 9.74 lol

Congrats! Sub-8 at westerns dw

There's a risk it was 9.79 indeed and scoretaker mistook judge's handwritting, in which case gsingh should contact the delegate to have his time corrected. But might just as well be a mistype here

Mistype, time was indeed a 9.74.

 

[arbivara]

Mistype, time was indeed a 9.74.

Much better then. I just thought of this hypothesis cause it had a high likelihood (4 and 9 are quite easy to get mixed up). Anyway, congrats on your PRs!

This reminds me of my official skewb PR single being 8.56 although i clearly recall getting 6.56. I simply don't care enough about skewb to ask them to fix it lol

Thought I'd update you guys on what I've been doing recently cubing-wise.

2x2: 5 solves per week goal

3x3: I've been doing lots of solves, and I've been trying to maximize my inspection abilities, and also trying to get T-ZBLL's faster than 2 look.

4x4: Lots of solves, a bit of OPA practice, and a lot of slow turning solves too, to practice my look ahead and efficiency

5x5: Just a ton of solves

6x6: Some solves here and there, but not really practicing rn

7x7: Nothing

3x3 OH: A bit of solves every week just so I don't get too much slower

Other: Trying to compete a lot, kinda working out, but I have had to miss a few comps this year and there are some more comps coming up that I can't go to. Grinding 3/4/5 because I want to make finals at western champs.

I didn't even know this competition existed until like 5 minutes before registration opened, and I was still one of the first people to sign up.

Good luck!

My 5x5 average world ranking is now my worst world ranking from the events that I practice (3-7), when it used to be the best.

He told me he’s going to show up to BASC comps more often.
