Ha, I would be able to get my license this coming Thursday if my mom would let me...


3:26 megaminx solve, I'm getting better!

I made a thread that got sticky-ed! Not sure how recent this happened, but recently enough for me to look unknowingly through the first 2 pages of threads in the "Speedcubing" subforum before realizing that it was at the top the whole time

Pyraminx sub-10!
Not by much, but it happened.

I know it's not that good. But it made me excited.

 

[Speedy McFastfast]

I actually took an average of 12 today! 20.34... But a whole pile of solves were sub 18!

Then when I wasn't keeping track of my solves (I was using my stackmat) I got a pile of 19 second solves... So, I basically got a sub 20 average, but I'm just not sure what

 

[Dene]

Woowoo!!!!! New PB of 12.58 seconds! Crazy solve, off this algorithm:
D F' U2 L2 D' L2 D' B F2 D R2 D2 R U R U' D R' U B' R2 D2 F2 D' B'

3 move cross (on B face from scramble), easy first pair, second and third pairs prepared themselves nicely, easy fourth pair, easy OLL, J perm, 44 moves total. Yay! Imagine if I was to get 5 of those in a competition?

 

[Hadley4000]

1:51.05 on the 4x4x4. Got it on video, too!

Yay.

 

[Dene]

This is irrelevant but I'm gonna put it here anyway. I managed to survive the holidays, and finally got back to University today!!! Oh my salvation at that place of paradise!

 

[slncuber21]

Lucas what cube what that one? a 4x4 or what? BLD??

got a new avg. on 4x4- 5:59.xx, still not that great but i have only solved it when i feel like it ( i need to get my edge pairing way faster too)

 

[Cerberus]

Average: 23.03 seconds
Individual Times: 22.18, 22.62, 25.25, 23.78, 23.66, 22.19, 22.71, (25.31), (20.41), 20.43, 22.77, 24.67

I managed to put the stickers on my black DIY wrong... This means that I can't get the amazing times I should be getting, seeing as my opposites are next to each other...

Anyone got free stickers? Lol, my prepaid visa card doesn't work with paypal for some stupid reason

 

[Dene]

And who's prepared to implement that into a competition? .

On a more serious note, I got my second ever sub-20 average, of 19.99 . Not my best average, but I'm really happy that I got this!! Now to make it a regular occurence.

 

[Claesson]

I learned the 4x4x4 parityfix yesterday, and today i took it with me to work, i did 1:57, first sub 2 (with pllparity)! I think i will do better if i just learn to pair a bit faster!

 

[masterofthebass]

Average: 1:39.30
Individual Solving Times: (1:27.97), 1:36.84, 1:30.80, 1:38.91, 1:43.63, (1:46.38), 1:42.27, 1:42.59, 1:40.59, 1:42.34, 1:39.75, 1:35.31

new K4 average. Pretty consistent, and decent times for like 5 days of solving.

 

[Speedy McFastfast]

MoB, I'm saddened... I've been using K4 for months, and I still haven't gotten a sub 2 average

I got two 17s in a row last night with a DIY with the stickers put on wrong (weird color scheme, blue opp orange). I wish I had my normal colors, or else I would be awesomely fast with this cube.

 

[Cerberus]

just learned the remaining PLLs, finally got them all. Now I need to train recognition, execution will improve over the time and when I am bored I make the new PLLs to remember and train them....

 

[Mike Hughey]

Cerberus: You hadn't yet learned all the PLLs, only know 14 OLLs, you do straight CFOP, and you average 23 seconds??? I know all the PLLs and OLLs and I still average 32 seconds. Obviously what they say about the F2L being most important is true!

 

[Cerberus]

At that Average I worked with 14 PLLs (no N no G and no V), learnt them the last 5 days. ^^
and yeah I do CFOP with 2-Look-OLL got those
7 Corner only
+2 out of my Y perm
+2 für Edge Orientation
(+1 mirror case at P)
+2 for only edges

 

[KConny]

I was sub20 before I knew all OLL's, so was two of my friends aswell.

 

[Mike Hughey]

I was sub20 before I knew all OLL's, so was two of my friends aswell.

Yeah, I guess that's common, but not knowing all the PLLs and being sub-25 on average seems at least somewhat unusual based on what I've seen around here.

Edit: And yes, I know Arnaud is an exception - he's around 25 average and uses 4LLL and keyhole. But I meant other than Arnaud.

 

[Speedy McFastfast]

I finally got the stickers on my black DIY fixed! Now I can do awesomely fast solves once I get warmed up! Yay!
