When you thought you posted but realize half an hour later that you didn't...
Nice sub 5 average, I used to practice 2x2. Trust me... I don't like it much since the experience just ends so quickly.

This week, I went camping, and during the trip I got lot's of sub-1's on 4x4 and even a would be pb of 47 seconds, although that was a hand scram lol. I am improving a lot with my first 3 edges, and I hope to be sub 1 by mid january.

3x3 update: only the gperms left, am averaging low 16's bouncing into the fifteens, but still get 18's becuz I don't know the gperms. will learn some today hopefully.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

NO WAY! I destroyed my pb. In the Weekly Competition. I got a 49.14! WOOHOO. I never thought I'd get a sub 50!

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

during 2-4 relay, I solved 2-3 in 17 seconds. that 4x4 solve was horrible tho lol

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

I opened up all of my presents and got my stickers for my 3d printed 3x3, my mgc 5x5, meilong kilominx, yuhu mega. These puzzles are all my first of each so I don't know if I know how to solve them lol. this is so fun. Merry Christams all and Joy to the world! will post 3d printed cube updates on my other thread in a bit.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

going to do my first ever 5x5 solve. just a hand scram. No setup just ootb. 7:04:08.

I will admit, the MGC 5x5 ootb isn't great. Just do a bunch of random turns for a solid 5 minutes, and maybe add a drop of DNM in each layer. That should break it in within a day

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

going to do my first megaminx solve also. I might need a turtorial, but we'll see. Aaaaarrggghhhh I need a turtorial lol I made it to pll but I don't know any of the algs

Use sunes for edges and do the corners with beginners method

yeah, I figured that out, but it's pll I'm struggling with

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

I'll send some algs later. I'm not home rn

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

just learned yau 5 and cut the 7 in half. 3:34.32 woo hoo. new fav event? will it make me better at 4x4?

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

I'll send some algs later. I'm not home rn

I know how to use the internet lol.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

am averagin around 3:50 on 5x5 rn. taught myself how to solve the kilominx. the only algs you need to know are y and j.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

have learned how to solve mega. averaging 6 to 8 minutes.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

new 5x5 pb. 3:10.89. learned yau 5 and it is making sense.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

New 5x5 in weekly comp. 2:57.69. long term goal of sub 2

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Megaminx is hard, but fun. I am using all of my knowledge of f2l pairing and slotting and I am getting used to it. the only thing is it's hard to find the right pieces. I also don't like the scrambling notation. they should just use the same type as kilominx. In terms of how I like my puzzle, it is great. the yuhu came perfectly tentioned ootb. flawless 36 deg cornercutting and decent on the reverses. Shoutout to Mr. Garf for helping me pick it out.

I created a poll to see which event I should practice, and threw in a bonus one that I might also do.
