[16:07] <micro501> 4x4 Scramble #3630: u' F u D R r2 f L2 b' u2 D2 f2 F d' l' D R' U R2 F' r B u2 R u U F' l2 R' U' r2 B u r R' D b' B2 l' u2

One whole center is solved in the scramble.

Ouch... That's half of the cube...

I guess I can't compete, but I'll race people who've had a success to sub-15

 

[Faz]

Omg guys, stop doing all these races!!!

 

[TheBB]

Why? They're fun!

I had another try today. 36:43.55. I'm off by 6 centers (25%), 8 edges (33%), and 4 corners (50%).

Much better. Interestingly, the misplaced edges are paired up, as if I were doing a sighted solve ... ?! I guess I did something strange with the corners (which I did last), which also screwed up the edges.

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

...which means you did the edges correct

 

[TheBB]

Yeah, that's right.

 

[Faz]

Attempting one solve tonight.

 

[TheBB]

Did another one yesterday... only 6 wrong edges.

Looks like everyone is getting closer! Keep up the good work and don't give up.

 

[Faz]

My solve was off by 12 centers grr.

At least you're getting closer. Centers are the hardest part, and centers are the only thing that makes me scared to try a 5x5 blindfolded.

You'll beat me because I don't have a 5x5

I'm in

 

[Chuberchuckee]

Huzzah; we have just received a DX Meffert's clone 4x4 in the mail. Count me in.

 

[TheBB]

Well, that's my fourth attempt. Sub-30 this time (26:31), and only three edges wrong. I shot to G when I was supposed to shoot to F.

It doesn't take more...
