1:26.65 on 'minx. And sub-100 mean of 3. 1:40.03, 1:49.71, 1:26.65 = 1:38.80. =]

EDIT: Got a 1:38.03 after this, which lowered it to 1:38.13.

 

[Anthony]

4.11 2x2 average of 12.

Sub 4 soon.

4.11 2x2 average of 12.

Sub 4 soon.

I'm gonna learn CLL, but it's looks like a tougher challenge than 3x3x3 OLL because of recognition!

I look into blah's thread went I start learning.

Congrats too, can't wait for sub-4.
What was the best average of 5 in those 12?

1:27.73, 1:17.60, 1:17.39(P), 1:24.75, 1:37.40(P), 1:28.64, 1:48.08(O), 1:24.17(O), 1:21.70, 1:28.92(O), 1:29.09(P), 1:23.80(OP) ==> 1:26.66

4x4, reduction?

random 1 pairing owns. 1:17.60 was N perm X.X and 1:48.08 was U perm.

 

[4Chan]

I know 2 subsets of ZBLL now, T and H.

H is a bit rusty though.

The recognition's not any harder. It's just different

Sub-2 for 5x5. Finally. xD

1:47.29, 2:04.64, 1:58.85, 2:03.58, 1:56.39 = 1:59.61

 

[Ryanrex116]

YAY!!!

Official: 3x3 sub-20, 5x5 sub-3.

Also, I'm getting closer the constant sub-3 on master magic. The following video is the best 5 out of 50-100 solves.

 

[Shortey]

YES!!

13.56 on 3x3. PLL Skipped. =D

YES!!
2 Sub 20 Averages in 2 days. =)

 

[MTGjumper]

Holy... Are you applying for Oxbridge?

EDIT: 4x4x4 single: 37.49 with PLL parity

Pah, no. I can't go to one of them anyway due to me not taking a language at GCSE. Even if I could, I wouldn't want to. It won't stop my school from pushing me to apply for the one I can apply for though

Out of interest, how did anyone else do in their A(S) exams?

Nice marks, Simon, I guess SQ-1 didn't distract you from revision too much
The one you could apply for is Cambridge I'm guessing?

My girlfriend did amazingly, straight A's and 100% overall in Theatre Studies.
I on the other hand didn't, they don't really deserve being put in the accomplishment thread
But hey, I got 100% in 2 out of 3 General Studies A2 modules.

I'm sorry the first is a 17 move 2x2 scramble: I left the cube scrambled last night, then turned on CCT and timed it, without realising that CCT was on 2x2 mode (and I was messing around with the length of the scrambles to see how much it affected it).
It should be made clear that this is non rolling, and the first 12 solves of the day
9.17 was a PLL skip, 9.25 was non lucky (EOLL and T perm)

EDIT2: And I got post no. 5555

 

[LNZ]

I got 8:40 on the 5x5 cube, which is 1:00 faster than before. I think I can actually get down to about 5:00 on this cube in the long term.

 

[Anthony]

4.11 2x2 average of 12.

Sub 4 soon.

Congrats too, can't wait for sub-4.
What was the best average of 5 in those 12?

The average was sub 4 until the last few solves. I got a 10 and a 5.93. :/
I think the best average of 5 was 3.5 or so.

 

[tfkscores]

Finally got my first sub 25 average of 100. And I thikn i forgot to post this but also finally got sub 20 and memorized all plls.

 

[guitardude7241]

I can now officially say I'm a sub-20 solver. I've gotten quite a few sub-20 RA12s, and got a 18.81 today.

Well done. But most of us use a different definition of "official."

Maybe someday when there's a competition around close, I'll go. Then *pause*, and only *pause* then, I'll truly be an official sub-20-man.

 

[Tortin]

Yes! Finally! Sub-13 RA...of 5, sadly.

11.88, 11.81, 15.19, 14.57, 12.25 = 12.90. Two fail solves in the middle, sadly.

4:11:53 PM lgarron: 12.47 avg12: 12.92, 11.32, 13.89, 10.00, 12.97, (13.90), 12.36, 13.43, 12.83, (9.13), 11.84, 13.11

Really, I thought I was incapable of sub-13.
Maybe I should buy some Pam for all my cubes.
