I finally got a sub 50-second average! I looked back and my fastest average when I started a little over a month ago was: 1.11.64 so I am pretty happy about this. Although, I have a long ways to go...I'm hoping to some day hit an average in the high 30's, I hope I can reach that goal but it will take a lot of work.

Congrats

You will be surprised at how quickly you get there.
Trust meh... 35 second avgs aren't too far away.

Thanks! Again, I give all the credit to the forum and a few members who have been giving me advice. I never thought sub 1 minute would even be possible. I am working on my cross efficiency and F2L once I improve to consistent mid 40's averages I will start learning full PLL. My turns are still not very good so I am also working on improving that as well. I know it sounds corny but thanks everyone! This site is pretty amazing with all the knowledge it contains and the vast number of talented cubers/problem solvers.

I haven't cubed (as in 3x3) for about a month now. Did a session using new FII which still needs breaking in, and got 12.95 from 150 solves (last 50 were about about 12.6 probably). I was also practising opposite colour neutrality.

Then:

D U F2 R D' F' R2 U2 L2 D2 U' L' B2 F2 U' B F' L R2 B2 R D2 U L2 U2

y F U' R2 D' R D
R U' R' L U' L'
R' U2 R U2 y L' U' L
y' L' U' L U y' L U L'
U' R U' R'

Yeah, no AUF LL skip, when I'm out of practice, on a new cube and with cross on yellow. Still, got 6.95. Considering my F2L is about 8-9 seconds normally, that's OK really.
