10.64 was Niclas + PLL skip, 10.86 was very easy x-cross.

What the hell?!

EDIT: 9.78 non lucky and 8.92 pll skip today. What the hell?! nr.2

If that had been 13.37 it would've been the greatest thing ever. That is if you're not lying about the shoe thing...
 
worst PB ever...

PB Single: 15.81 (PLL Skip)
PB Avg. of 5: 22.52- (15.81), 22.77, (DNF(28.76)), 22.02, 22.79 (Which sucks)

15.81, 22.77, DNF(28.76), 22.02, 22.79, 25.49, 25.23, 34.76, 17.61, 28.29, 23.52, 26.25

Comments: 17.61 was full step, 34.76 was ... (not sure what happened) and others were...
 
Wait, was your general average 19 seconds 3 days ago, or did you just fail at Bristol?
If so.. Did you just go all out on clock for 3 days? Wow, Clock must be really easy. :p

Why does nobody ever listen to what I say?

I would test this theory if we had Clock at OK. :/

Listen to David. He is right. 19.32 was a good result for me at Bristol. Then i did about 100 solves a day, and my progression was: 15.34, 12.85, 10.73, 9.99, no solves, 9.65
 
sub-Robert average

Darn you :(

Any tips, advice? (Yeah I know I've done a sub-10 average before but I think I could definitely improve a bit more somehow...)

Well you 100% definitely have the potential to since you seem to consistently average sub 11, whereas I average all over the place :P

From what I saw of your solving, I know your lookahead is good enough, you just need to turn faster :P
So like, you should work on getting really fast PLLs and OLLs, and do PLL time attacks and things, and maybe work on fingertricks. Maybe you should learn off Breandan's vids? There was another guy with a sub 11 avg on youtube recently who had amazing fingertricks, I just can't remember his name...
Imo you should learn CLL recognition, and use it with OLL to help with PLL recognition (but yours is insane anyway so it might not make a difference).
 
My 5 yo daughter now can solve a cube that has been "scrambled" to the checkerboard pattern.

But still not interested in actually solving a cube or making even a single face of a real scrambled cube.
 
4x4 new single PB!

46.97, no parity.

Just curious, what method do you sub-ones use for the 4x4? I guess not centers first - edge pairing- 3x3 solve?

Fail... :fp

Ben: Just shut up.

@dada222:
I do use the method you wrote, but at edge pairing I pair 2 edges simultaneously. All advanced solver do more than 1 edge at am time, however there are different systems. E.g. Syuhey pairing or 2-pairing (what I use). :)

You already broke the facepalm policy once in this thread. Apparently you haven't learned. You're not being helpful and you're not being funny and nobody is amused by you making fun of people who simply DON'T KNOW, without even answering their question! The reason why he asked was because he didn't know and wanted to find out, not because he wanted some idiot to make fun of him.

Thanks for the answer.
 
49.52, 49.48, 50.27, (52.98), 49.68, 49.97, 46.49, 46.92, 48.96, (45.03), 50.05, 49.84 = 49.12

This contained too many parities. I had a s**tload of sub-25 reductions and on half of the solves I got to LL at 35 seconds. The 46s and the 45 all had double parity. So many chances at a sub-40 single (it's been a while), and in the end not even a sub-45. :mad:
