SpeakCuba’s progression thread thing

Got a PB Ao100 for 2x2, finally breaking the sub-4 barrier. Current PB Ao100 is 3.99, old one was 4.09.

New PB Ao100 for 2x2, which is now 3.90.

For 3x3 I got PB Ao5, Ao12 and Ao100. Ao5 = 12.67, Ao12 = 13.18, and Ao100 = 14.72. I was pleasantly surprised; got a lot of 12 second solves in a row, and even though I've never tried before, I managed to x-cross in one of the solves.

PB Ao100 for SQ-1! It's now 33.49.

Yo congrats! I've been struggling to learn, so I find it impressive when anyone can solve it, let alone in sub 1 minute!
Also, what's your pb 4x4 times? Maybe we can race to sub 1 minute ao100! I'm not that great at many other events

You seem much faster than me, I average 1:19.xx on 4x4

 

[SpedCube]

Nah lol I average about 1:25-1:30 so pretty even!

Ohh alrighty then. Although it might take me a long while to get a sub-1 Ao100.

10.89 single! Scramble: D2 B2 L2 U' F2 D R2 U' B2 L2 R2 U' F R D' B2 R' F R2 D U

Easy cross and 1 pair already made. (white cross).

New SQ-1 PB Single! 13.15. If anyone wants the scramble, just reply to this post.

New 2x2 PB Ao5, finally!

1. (4.61) R' F' R' F2 R' U F2 R2 U2
2. 2.59 U2 R2 U' R F2 R' F U' R2
3. 2.47 U' R2 U2 R' F' U2 F2 U' F'
4. (2.10) U2 F' U F' U2 F U2 R U
5. 2.85 R U' F R2 U' F' R' U F'

Also got a new PB Ao100 of 3.65. I didn't think I would get it down from 3.90 anytime soon.

I've done it, after a few days of nearly getting it, I got it, a sub-14 Ao100! It is currently at 13.98. (Does this mean that I'm technically a 13 second solver now?)

 

[SpeakCuba]

This is sad. Had a chance for my first sub-1 single...(4x4) got OLL parity, and then I *thought* that I got a PLL skip, only to find out that I had also gotten PLL parity, which I didn't do... so a 59.07 DNF single.

I'd say so! You average sub 14, dont you?

 

[SpeakCuba]

My Ao5s are usually sub-14, if that is what you meant...

WOO! I did it, a sub-1 single! Just barely, but I got a 59.97 PB 4x4 single. If anyone wants to try out the scramble, I'll put it in a spoiler down below. White and yellow faces are both nearly completed. I started on yellow so I could preserve the white bars.

Spoiler: Scramble:

R2 B U2 L U B R2 U F' L2 U B2 U B2 U' F2 D' F2 U2 R2 Uw2 R' L' Rw2 F R' Uw2 B L Rw2 B' R2 F2 Uw' R2 F2 Uw' L Rw' U B Uw Rw' D2 L F

New 3x3 PB!! Very happy with the solution I did, although kind of simple. Here's the scramble; I got 9.36 on it.

Scramble: R' B' U' R2 B R2 U L' U2 R B2 L2 B2 D2 R D2 L' U2 R2

(If you want to solve on white, scramble with yellow top, green front)

I would encourage you guys to try out the scramble! I got a lucky PLL skip. (I use 2-look OLL, so if you use full OLL you might not get the skip).

Overall very happy with it, smooth turning and great lookahead made it one of my most enjoyable solves up to date.

Got a 19.30 SQ-1 single. My 3rd or 4th ever sub-20 single.

Just got an 18.60 single... Not happy at all. Easily could have been PB but I panicked. At least I got a PB Ao5 (25.10).

This is interesting. Got a (new) new PB Ao5, which is 22.49. PB Mo3, which is 20.76, and a PB Ao100 of 31.89.

I don’t really practice Pyraminx, but I did a Cstimer scramble for fun and somehow got PB single. (5.62).
