Done following the instructions in the tutorial to the letter, including long-winded procedure for building cross, solving 3x U-layer edges before final two etc..


Using an optimised version of the [wiki]sexy method[/wiki] I get:

Best Average of 5: 41.16
Best Time: 34.99
Worst Time: 54.56
Standard Deviation: 4.1 (9.9%)

5. 35.42 D R2 U L2 D' R2 D' F2 R2 F2 R U B2 L B D2 U L D' F2
Optimised version includes:
* Full planning of cross, solving as efficiently as poss
* Use of inverse sexy move U R U' R'
* Allowing insertion of any D-layer corners to for pseuso-block based F2L
* Intuitive U-layer edge placement to avoid bad cases

Sub-40 anyone? :)

1:28.81 4x4 solve with Yau. I've only been practising 4x4, 3bld and 2x2 recently, and I'm finally starting to get back to my old speed with Yau. I'm getting more and more sub 1:50s (yeah I know, slow, I used to be 1:45 with redux) I learnt Yau 5~ days ago and I'm sooo inconsistent. My centres + cross range from 32-55 seconds. On the 1:28.81 I had 39s centres + cross 57s redux + cross. It could've been sub 1:25 and even lower if I knew adj PLL parity (I had a skip right to parity, but had to do setup parity undo setup, which is slow.

Still, I'm happy :D

Err, that's how you do adjacent parity. :rolleyes:
Btw, you can just setup by doing sexy move, that ain't too slow. At least: 2.96 for me.

Er... what... sexy move setup... WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT? :p
I was using R2 D B2 [r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 u2] B2 D' R2 and was taking like, 8 seconds.
How is your PLL parity so fast O_O
Do you use "r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 u2"?
 
I'm improving again :)

4 sub 10s, all non-lucky. When my new cubes come, I plan on getting at least sub-12 consistently. I'm sick of complaining that I'm not getting faster, so I'm actually doing a bit of dedicated practice whilst I have the time. 500 solves in two days sounds like practice if you ask me.
 
I feel that I'm sub-11 :D :D :D :D

Frankly, I'd just like more sub-10 singles. I get loads of 10.xx solves, but not many sub-10s :(

Anyway, carried on my session:

Cubes Solved: 200/200
Average: 12.55
Standard Deviation: 1.21
Best Time: 9.15
Worst Time: 16.04

I'll probs do another 100 later on :p Best average of 100 was 12.46.
 
9.34, 8.89, 8.34, 9.11, (7.44), 9.36, 9.86, 8.48, 8.50, 8.03, (10.19), 9.63 = 8.95 :D jflysim
What's the UWR?
edit: 9.94 avg of 100 :D

I think you've probably got the UWR, unless Phillip Espinoza has got a better average. My best average of 12 is almost under 9 seconds. I've sorta "retired" from computer cubing now :p. But I'll still probably enter the monthly competitions just for fun :)
