Just quite pleased I got it on camera, nothing that amazing really!

Cubesmith fluoro stickers?

EDIT: Black pieces, white core? By the way, awesome Stackmat.

 

[Alex DiTuro]

Nice work! What's your normal breakdown? My edge step is garbage. Not even intermediate by bigcubes.com standards = P

Yes, my black core was too loose, so I swapped everything over and it turns pretty well now. Yes... bright set from cubesmith.

And you are quite right, my Stackmat IS awesome. It has both me and Joey Gouly to thank for where it is in life now.

Nice work! What's your normal breakdown? My edge step is garbage. Not even intermediate by bigcubes.com standards = P

ish, I guess? Don't know really!

Nicely done! I remember the days when I was capable of this. Seems a long time ago

How do you get so fast at edges?

My breakdown is like

40
1:20 - 1:30
30

My PB is 2:03

Btw, awesome solve

 

[Olivér Perge]

Awesome, Charlie! Sub-2 on tape!

Ben is right, your breakdown is very unusual. Centers ok, edges very good, 3x3x3 very bad. Improve the 3x3x3 part and you are going to average sub-2 soon!

See you in 15 days!!!

What the HELL is that t-shirt?

God I don't know now! You've sparked off some kind of insanity about how good my edges are, when they are actually terrible. Joey likes to mock me for it. I think it's more like my centres are... 30-35... edges 45-60 and 3x3 30-45.

I have had quite a lot of solves sub 1:45 so that makes sense... But I totally agree my 3x3 is terrible! It's mainly because I double layer turns, as you will have noticed from my ridiculous turning style.

And thanks! Keep practising, you'll have sub 2 in no time.

What the HELL is that t-shirt?

A t-shirt you are unfamiliar with. Shocker. Now do you understand why I go crazy when you wear things I haven't seen before?!

 

[Muesli]

Wow. I suck so badly at 5x5.

Yeah, that looks about like what the splits were in this video. Are you doing standard AVG edges? It looks like it. I think my proportions are somewhat similar to yours - just add 10 seconds to each step for me.

Nice solve! I've been ignoring 5x5x5 for a while now, but just this week I started to get hooked on it again. Your video is additional inspiration - maybe I can be sub-2 someday too!

Can you show me the WHOLE contents of your wardrobe next time I'm round?
We need to avoid incidents like this again.

Thanks Mike you are too kind. Yeah I am doing basic AVG (I am just shocked anyone would call my edges fast, Joey is constantly mocking me for being dreadful and doing unnecessary moves) instead of what I used to do which was random pairing that I was not all that fast at. If I can be sub 2, you really can, I am not that fast at big cubes, I just seem to be better at 5x5 than any of the others!

Joey, psst, other people don't think my edges are bad, are you going to get off my back now?

And yes, we may do that if you like. Except had you read my blog you would know there were lots of things I haven't unpacked yet, and in that cupboard, mentioned in the blog, is where I discovered this old fave. I've shrunk a bit, I needed to dig out the oldies.

 

[joey]

I did read your blog!


ps your edges still suck

Yes, but in future please email the competition email address for such things.

 

[Crazycubemom]

seems to me Charlie is getting wilder and wilder with all puzzles or is it a good bye gift to AVG?

Nice solve Charlie.
