31.88! ...Followed by a 49.90! hahah, how frustrating! 31.88 is I think in my top 5 all time, actually #2 now that I look it up. I had an inspired F2L solve, followed by a lucky 1-look-OLL and a 1-look-PLL (I am currently a 4LLL, trying to massage my F2L until I get sub-40 and plan then to use full PLL). Second to last I had the cube pop on me, so, I scrambled twice -- not for much luck with the 47.

Up a second from the last challenge (which I only did yesterday), sooo, I can't be too unhappy. I've been sub-45 on my avg 12s for the last 18 days, so, going down, slowly but surely.

This thread pushes me :) Thanks for it!

Didn't warm up and you can probably see it. But overall a decent average.

Hideously inconsistent but unfortunately rather typical. I am very poor at the cross and my F2L is hampered by a lack of look ahead plus mistakes. I also tend to have many non-cubing thoughts whilst solving - that can't be helping either! :fp

You only had 3 sup-40s. That's not too bad. If Cross and F2L are your weaknesses then you know what to practice :tu

Well it corrected my poor performance from last week. Some of the lube seems to be worked out from my new Guhong so I'm finding it more stable, though I can still have catastrophes when I try to rush through the pll. Gatta try to get Sub 35 next week.

Comments: Alright, i'm not THAT good but for my first round it seems to be ALRIGHT
I keep getting muddled times sometimes nearing 1:00 and sometimes 45s so yeah.. solve 11 I could have had a better time had I not pressed SHIFT and M instead of Z and M. I stuffed up F2L on solve 2 and had a PLL skip on one of them. I got a new PB and yeah... this average seems to be another normal one.

Just a question for Brian. Can I enter with different methods. Such as this week enter with Roux, Petrus and ZZ. I have already graduated from here with CFOP.

I'm curious to know how many people would be interested in tracking their progress with multiple methods here?

If you want to do this, then specify one primary method that "counts" toward graduation and do those solves first, then post your averages for all methods in the same post. I can figure out a way to display them all at the end of the round. You will need to stick with your chosen primary method until you graduate before changing to another primary method. Does anyone have serious concerns about this?

Just join in and make sure you say that you're using Roux It doesn't matter if you've graduated or not it's just hard for Brian to keep track of someone trying to get sub-30 with Fridrich, Petrus, Roux, OH, ZZ and all that. I'm sure putting the graph and table results together is hard enough without having to enter five different results for one person.

I'm having a lot of trouble but I'm trying to be positive about this since I'm focused on learning algorithms. I learned Ga and Gb this week so now I know all the Gs! I only have Ra, Rb, and Na left to learn and then I'll know all the PLLs.

So since I haven't graduated from this thread yet (kind of bypassed it), can Roux be labeled as my primary method for going through it for the first time?

OK.

Brian I'm guessing since you're learning full PLL that you know intuitive F2L and 2-look OLL. Learning more things at your speed aren't really necessary. Work just on cross and F2L and make sure that your recognition isn't totally awful. Have you checked out this thread?

http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...drich-Method&highlight=faster+fridrich+method

Give it a read. It's a pretty good guide for what you should work on and when.
