Sorry, I am already racing with NebraskanSpeedsolver to sub-2 5x5, and my schedule with school is really busy. So, I can't, but maybe in the summer, when I have more time. Again, sorry.

oh lol I forgot about that
I average about 2:05 rn, getting some good sub-2 singles
How's 6x6 coming along?

I am also getting really good sub-1 5x5 averages. I was wondering, what do you consider sub-1 5x5: sub-1 average of 100, average of 200, or what?

6x6 is going ok. I haven't done some solves in a second, but I am really enjoying it. The WRM 6x6 is really good!

did you mean sub-2?
I would say a sub-2 ao50 or ao100 IMO
and I agree, the WRM 6X6 is THE BEST 6x6 on the market

Oh,.... yes. Sorry! Lol!
Ok, then we'll do sub-2 average of 100

On the way to the zoo with some friends, just casually getting a 37 4x4 single.

Not laughing at the time, but the method?
Why use LBL?
Still impressive though

A while back, I watched Jperm do 4x4 lbl sub-1 in one of his videos. so, since then, I've been doing lbl on and off for a while. just for fun. If I get a sub-1:12 average soon, I might do something crazy with lbl. but we'll see.

fun fact, when i first learned 4x4, I thought that layer by layer was how you were supposed to solve it. Coincidentally, and counterproductively, Jperm made a vid on how to solve it layer by layer, and I thought I was just watching a 4x4 how to solve tutorial

I chocked SO HARD on a 7, which would have been pb. I am so sad!
