Nope, I messed it up.. LOL Do you know a website with a tutorial? Because the vids on Youtube are not helping a lot.

You're looking for the middle case in the Pair Edges section.

Great job on that first sub-35 and new PBs! Reaching sub-30 is an exciting time. Looking forward to watching your first sub-30 ao12 video. I know you'll get there...

Yup, you have to have ALL the edges right before you start solving it like a 3x3.

After that you can still run into parity but that is easily fixed.

It is not like with a 3x3 that you solve layer by layer. You reduce TO a 3x3 and after that solve it LIKE a 3x3

Which is where the fun comes in when you are doing 7x7. The centers.. ohhhh the centers. Basically it is the same idea as the 4x4 but seeing where they are exactly just is more difficult.

Oh and don't expect a no-parity-possible when you get a 5x5. Just because it is an uneven cube does not mean you cannot get parity on it. I was plain old lucky on my first 5x5 solve to not run into it. I scrambled it a second time.. annnndd.. PARITY. Thank god we have internet now

Nice! I'll do TPS stats now.

Could a mod put this in my above post; it keeps saying I haven't got permission to edit my post (even when I log-in seconds earlier). I'm also having other problems with the forum.

Awesome! Thanks

Not this year I think. It is my ultimate goal to get consistent sub 30's.

Thanks Ben. I made a guess for the OLL. It could only be one out of two cases.. LOL..I thought I saw headlights and I was right. But instead of make an inspection I went to immediate execution..

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Life is about challenges sometimes! :tu

 

[sneaklyfox]

Yay! First sub-20 solve. Love your reaction too.

 

[JianhanC]

I like how this introduction thread has become a journal Great progress though Marcel :tu

LOL yeah.. sounded like he couldn't go YAYYYY out loud.. sleeping kid around? *giggle*

ugh.. I need to step my game up. you broke my PB single and I've been cubing longer haha

You guessed correctly! My 3 year old boy was having his nap.

No? Really? Good stuff

Hehe poor Endgame.. now he actually has to WORK.. someone newer beat his reeecord.. neener *laughs*

I actually wasted a few months using CFOP before switching to Roux this August. >_>

We Dutch have a saying for that.. "spijt komt na de zonde".

In English, roughly translated "regret comes after the sin".

I don't really regret it though: it always comes in handy when I want to teach people how to solve, because I'm too lazy to explain blockbuilding and stuff
