worst time: 8.27

current avg5: 6.89 (σ = 0.76)
best avg5: 6.49 (σ = 0.29)

Did my first 4x4x4 solve today: had to look up three algo's...
2x2 centers by intuition; relative positioning error but managed to fix it.

Looked up simple 3 -dedge cycle algo (1)
Trying to set up so I could solve two dedges at once.

Using 3x3x3 4LLL to finish it off. Already spotted an upcoming parity error because I could not make a cross. Decided to act like it was not there and keep solving.

Resulting parity at end of solve:
- To swap two opposite dedges
- Of which one dedge was flipped as well

Looked up alg (2) for opposite edge swap: swapped OK
Then looked up dedge flip: the algo found (3) fixed the dedge flip but also swapped it with the opposite dedge. DOH!
Perform opposite dedge swap again...
Solved Cube!

(1) l' U L' U' l
(2) r2 U2 r2 U2 u2 r2 u2 found in forum
(3) l2 B2 l U2 l U2 (x') U2 l U2 l' U2 l U2 l2 U2 (flips UF dedge) Dan Harris
didn't see that it was for use at OLL stage...

I guess I will stick to a minimal algo set up because still in the process of learning full PLL on the 3x3x3 and don not want to confuse myself too much.

Next: recording my first 4x4x4 time...
 
3x3:

Did a 1 hour marathon with my friend (who I'm teaching Roux to). I had 112 solves and he had 74. Now my F-II needs new stickers, so I bought a half-bright set from Cubesmith. :cool:
 
4x4:
1:25.53, 1:31.05, 1:27.70, 1:47.13, 1:31.92 = 1:30.22 (σ = 1.82)

wow! I haven't practised this edge pairing for a long time and my miniQJ isn't so good yet. Still almost a PB average. And all solves had OLL parity..
 
:o!
I thought that FII isn't a very good cube when I took it out of the box.. now I think it's pretty good :)
Full step: 9.70
scramble: L B' U' R' L2 B2 F' L D U F R D2 L' B2 R2 U' B2 D U' B2 U F2 B2 L'

(I didn't see the easy x-cross in the inspection because a basketball game is about to start and I wanted to do an ao5 quickly before it)
cross: z2 y' u L R' y R u' R u' (7)
1st F2L: y2 U2 R' U' R (4)
2nd F2L: U y' R' U' R U' R' U R (8)
3rd F2L: y' U2 R U2 R' U R U R' (8)
4th F2L: y U' R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' (12)
OLL: U' R U R' U R U2 R' (8)
PLL: R U2 R' U' R U2 L' U R' U' L (11)

(possible cancellation in the end also :D)
total HTM: 58 :D lol.. so many moves but the solve flowed so nicely and very fast algs.
TPS: 5.979 :o I've never got so high TPS and so low time :D

Crazy.

Still PB avg on stackmat and PB single (no parity) :D
 
4x4 would be so much more fun if I had one that didn't suck so hard. Nevertheless, PB Average of 12: 1:10.56. One triple parity because you do OP once and PP twice. Idiot.

PBL time attack
9.12, 8.76, (8.40), (9.29), 8.74
8.87
Click to expand...

What algs and in what order?
Click to expand...

The T alg, Y perm (3x3 alg), double bar, single bar, R2 F2 R2
Click to expand...

Not really all the PBLs... What about single bar on bottom or T and Y on bottom...?
Click to expand...

No, he's right. You just do all 5 types of algorithm to do a PBL time attack.

If you include T and Y on bottom, or single bar on bottom, you may as well also include T from other angles on U and D, single bar on DL, DR and UL and UR, double bar on F etc etc :P
