Solved a cube one-handed while balancing with 1 foot on a slack line.... the first day I ever tried slacklining.

Also, hit a hole in one in frisbee golf today.

First time I solved the 7x7x7 in under 20 minutes (19:39.68).

Used an SS. Didn't need to correct parity. My 3x3x3 algorithm still sucks, I'm upgrading it to " F2L + beginner", LOL. But I think I can say goodbye to the 30 minute boundary.

My first times were around 45 to 55 minutes. I was planning on stopping when I got to 10 minutes but now that seems too easy; I'll try to get under 7 minutes. There are massive places where I can improve.

Wow. That was awesome. Better than sex.

[Edit: 6/5/2012] First 3x3x3 under 1:00.00. I'm concentrating on improving F2L + beginners crap and finally am doing much better than my previous algorithm (place all edges, orient all edges, place all corners, orient all corners, basically using FRF'R'). My 7x7x7 best is now down to 15:10.41 but that was back on May 26, that would now be an average time, I think.

Finally, sub-2! 1:59.52 5x5 single. Should've been faster, 30s of that was 3x3 stage. Also, 2:19.81, 2:11.09, (2:34.97), 2:14.59, (2:10.53) = 2:15.16 PB average of 5.

Haha. Shouldn't it be 'threw' a hole in one?

Nice. I'm fairly new to the 7x7 as well, but I think it's my favorite cube. You can improve fast with practice. In the weekly competition I've dropped my average from over 25 minutes to under 15 minutes in 3 weeks.
