better to use nail clippers and clip them off close to the skin surface...
helps with healing and also to avoid any more tearing

I bite my nails so much that I just bite off the hangnail sometimes, it works quite well.

(Don't bite your nails. It's a bad habit that I'm working on breaking.)

Btw since you know PLL you automatically know at least 21/472 ZBLL.

Actually 21/493 technically most people don’t count pll so it is commonly referred as 472 but with pll it is 493.

Spoiler: Don’t post this

what the??? I don't want to say I'm sub 16 cuz this could be such a fluke, but I'm like so fast rn lol. I'm getting so many 14's and 15's. I get like 2 17's for every 15 solves! I'll just wait for my global to say sub 16 before I go crazy about it.

Okay, I feel like I've been procrastinating a lot lately within cubing. It took me two years to become sub-1 4x4, 4 years to become sub 20 on 3x3, and everything else isn't that good. I just didn't practice that much. I just solved and learned a little here and there. Sub-10 3x3 is something I want to aim for. It seems somewhat straight forward: sub-8 f2l, full pll (done), full oll. my f2l is not at all terrible, most of the time, I can sometimes make my first pair during cross, and I limit myself to 2-3 rotations, but sometimes I mess up terribly in lookahead. So, I really have to study up on that and break some mental barriers. I also need to practice more on yellow cross cuz I always notice good yellow solutions but am not confident enough to do them. first, I'm going to learn full oll (starting today) and once I'm done, I'll see how far that's taken me (hopefully 2-3 seconds faster) and then go from there. along the way, I will also be stressing lookahead so maybe that'll shave another second off. I just want to be really good at one solid event.

Good luck!

page one is done! (nothing impressive. just 2 look cases)
also, could someone help me out with 08-20 (last alg on the fourth page) I can't get it to work.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

I just got a full step 11.62 trying to get my global under 17 and I'll get serious. although my idea of getting sub 10 is quite ridiculous.

Edit: oh wait, that got me to 16.96 global. woohoo.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Is it just me or does this alg not work? I tried both variations.

It worked fine for me, make sure you are doing "M" as a push towards you, as I also got M and M' mixed up.(M' is moving the "U" center to back, and M is towards the front.)
