[cubenerd74]

So I got good news and bad news.

The good news is that I got a 13.93 squan Ao12 the other day! Luck definitely played a big factor, got 3 parities out of 12.

The bad news is, it broke...

 

[cubenerd74]

Yesterday, I did some 5x5 solves(my so-called "main event") for the first time in like, a month, and I guess I average sub 1:30 now...?
It might've been because I've been doing a lot of untimed 6x6 solves lately. Screw sub-13 3x3, this is way more fun.

 

[cubenerd74]

I got the Tornado V3, and I think better hardware was what I needed for a breakthrough on 3x3. Last night, I got a sub 12 Ao50!! Also an almost sub 10 Ao5(please don't accuse me of cheating).

On 5x5, I'm inconsistently averaging about 1:25.

Omg god guys this guy is a cheater. Lololol ! #exposed!

THIS IS A JOKE, DON’T DESTROY ME!

 

[cubenerd74]

I've been doing a lot of 5x5 lately, and I got a really painful PB fail. It would've been PB single by 0.09s but +2'd it. Oh well, at least I improved my big averages by a lot. I'm also doing some 3x3 and clock.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to practice a lot for the next 2 weeks because of an upcoming exam.

 

[cubenerd74]

First 6x6 sub 3!
Also, exam is in 4 days, wish me luck!

 

[cubenerd74]

WHAT I JUST GOT A SUB 1:20 Ao5(5x5)
Also the 1:13 is PB3 single

 

[cubenerd74]

I did a few OH solves yesterday and randomly broke a bunch of PBs. OH grind coming soon...?

Also, I got a 1:11.11 5x5 PB single. No, I'm not making this up.

First comp in a while, really excited for it!

 

[cubenerd74]

I broke all my 5x5 PBs at the same time lol. Also got my first sub 8 clock Ao12.

 

[cubenerd74]

Broke mu 5x5 PB again lol. After the screenshot I also got a 1:08.

 

[cubenerd74]

Forgot to post but today is my comp day, these are my 5x5 results.

 

[cubenerd74]

I'm currently finding 2x2 to be very fun, and I decided to learn CLL. I started today, working on H cases.

 

[cubenerd74]

Finished learning H, I think 3-4 algs per day is good.

 

[cubenerd74]

I learned 4 more CLLs, plus 2 PLLs that I forgot to include, so 10 in total.

Also, I have a big exam in 10 days so I haven't done that many solves lately.

One thing I highly recommend doing is to use a CLL trainer. Do thousands of solves. This helped me massively, and I think it can help you as well.

I'm using the jperm.net CLL trainer, I'll probably do more solves during summer break.

 

[cubenerd74]

I relubed my 2x2, and my 2x2 times dropped significantly.
(This is all with ortega btw)

I learned 2 more CLLs, but I technically know 18 cases since S and AS are symmetrical.

 

[cubenerd74]

I'm practicing 6x6 a lot now, I currently average 3 minutes. My goal is to get top 100 in Korea at the Korean championship next month.
