Average: 39.35

37.00, 42.66, 40.55, 41.43, (34.13), (44.72), 35.10, 40.69, 40.06, 39.75, 37.48, 38.75

I didn't improve on my average that much, only by about .1 of a second. But I was a lot more consistent this week, and I got got no solves over 45 seconds, just haha.
Btw, if anyone's interested, I was listening to Foo Fighters during this week's solves, an awesome song to listen to while cubing is 'All My Life', a bad one is 'Everlong' because I keep on doing air-drums during solves hahahah

avg 31.97

Lookahead came together for me really well this week, and I even managed an X-cross or two.
I've also changed 3 of my PLLs recently which weren't working for me and the newer algs are working quite nicely now.

Close, but no cigar! I'm coming to the conclusion that I'm a bit of a clutz: I drop the cube more that I should and I have no fingertricks to speak of.

Round 94 - 3x3 on 5x5

Terribly ugly. On the third solve, I forgot the OLL halfway through. The other bad times were bad almost entirely due to lockups.

If your times are due to lock-ups, get a new cube? What are you using right now?

Round 94 - CFOP CN (w/ 2 look OLL)

26.77, 28.02, 30.75, (43.38 lol), 30.30, 26.51, (26.43), 31.54, 34.24, 30.88, 31.31, 28.94

Average = 29.93 (phew)

Not a bad average for me, but I'm still spending a lot more time looking for pieces than I'd like to. Been working on lookahead, but have to concentrate really hard when solving cross on Blue/Green. Maybe it's time to get some cubesmith stickers for recognition. And the 43...I have no idea what happened there. Not a pop or anything, things just didn't go right.

[Mike Hughey]

If your times are due to lock-ups, get a new cube? What are you using right now?

An old V-cube (one of the first batch, as soon as they came out). It's a little too loose now, I think, so the core wiggles too much. I have another one, but I've not bothered to resticker or break it in yet.

The funny thing about old V-cubes (5x5x5, 6x6x6, and 7x7x7 - it applies to all of them) is that some days are much better than others. When it's a good day, it's still a really nice cube. I'm not sure, but I think it's probably due to temperature differences.
