Nice job man! By the way, Cerberus, Englisch ist "English" auf Englisch

I found out today that my old white cube makes an awesome OH cube because of how loose I got it right now All I need to do is keep the center caps on. My "Tape under the center caps" trick doesn't work too well

3x3x3 OH single: 44.55 .... Normal cross-pairs, VHF2L + ZBLL.

 

[SkateTracker]

Sub-4 on a 5x5!!!!

I got my new Eastsheen yesterday and my times went from a 5:11 PB and 5:30 average on my Rubik's brand to a 4:15 average and a 3:42 PB on my new Eastsheen.

The cube makes a bigger difference than some may think, especially for people with smaller hands like myself.

EDIT: Another new PB, 3:25!

Solved my first ever 4x4x4 in a little over an hour completely without using the internet or any help.

19.59 OH, PLL-skip.

 

[Lucas Garron]

9.51 3x3x3 speedsolve:

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

Cross:U' x' M' U2'y RU'
F2L 1: z2y RU'R'd'R'UR
F2L 2: U'LU'L'U2LU'L'
F2L 3: y' RUR'URU'R'
ELS: UR'U'R
CLS: y RU'R'U2RU'R'
PLL skip: U
(39 moves)

Got 7.08 on my first re-execution.
And now I don't have lucky and non-lucky PB's of 10.00 and 11.00 anymore...

And {13.20, 14.07, 17.06, 15.22, 14.83, 17.13, (9.51), 16.01, 17.85, 16.57, (18.62), 12.65} > 15.46 avg, but I'm not sure the 13.20 was a 3x3x3 solve, so I'm not counting it.

Also, BLD: {1:50.73, 1:41.44, DNF, 1:43.23, (1:13.01), 1:58.30, 2:27.44, 2:05.35, DNF, 1:58.80, DNF, 1:32.00}

 

[Dene]

Well my 5x5x5 times are improving like crazy. I got sub-6 yesterday, even though my aim was to get that today. So my new aim is now to pull a "Lofty" and get my 5x5x5 times faster than my 4x4x4 times .

 

[Lucas Garron]

{14.41, 14.10, 16.71, 14.09, 15.79, 17.52, 13.19, (19.14), 14.56, 17.01, (13.13), 13.35}
> 15.07 average
(And yes, this is with MGLS. Of course. )

This is a good weekend.

 

[Speedy McFastfast]

Congrats, Lucas, I never imagined MLGS could get so fast

 

[masterofthebass]

Why not, it replaces OLL with 2gen algs...

 

[Dene]

Woo!!! Keep it up Mr. Garron! My MGLS learning is going great too! (note: this is not true, I have only learnt one algorithm so far ).

 

[MiloD]

wow, i had read a few things but not really understood anything before, but i was just futzing around on my 3x3 and figured out how to do edge commutators! for some reason it just clicked, it was quite amazing actually. a very pleasant surprise

 

[malcolm]

Sub 50 OH average! 49.11! need to work on LL, F2L is 30-25 mostly, ll takes aaages

 

[Hadley4000]

24.55 on the 3x3x3!

 

[Dene]

Sub 50 OH average! 49.11! need to work on LL, F2L is 30-25 mostly, ll takes aaages

I'm in a similar boat, except sub40. My F2L is steadily improving, usually about 20-25 seconds now. All of my PLL's are sub8, but some OLL's just take ages...

 

[malcolm]

Yeah I easily sub 40 whenever i get an all edges oriented OLL, and a alright PLL, but i just hate the r/g/n perms and all the OLLS i dont know..

 

[Speedy McFastfast]

Failed my driver's license test today....

What's this got to do with puzzles? I have managed not to throw any into the wall.

 

[Cerberus]

Got PLL Time-Attack sub-70 (67.06) and avg of 12 at 1:11.83
next Goal sub-60, afterwards learn some OLLs and get sub-20 avg
all that till mid of april (German Opens)
