whats the normal average for someone whos been cubing for a year? i.e. what was your average?

I was sub-12 after a year.

I was like 1:30 lol

Any site selling a shengshou 5x5 seems puzzle addictions and hknowstore not selling them and I found only zcube are out of them.

Also best lube for cubes and how much would I need for a few cubes.

Amazon sells them that's where I got mine use Factory team 3000CST also on Amazon the lube is like less then $5 and will good on over 100 puzzles for a 59 ml size bottle.

for left hand OH 2-look OLL/PLL, I need an algorithm for the "chameleon" case with it's "eyes" facing to the left that doesn't require frontal moves and regripping to perform.

I also need Aa and Ab algorithms that also do not require frontal moves and regripping to perform.

And also an algorithm for OLL that solves the dot/bar case to achieve the cross. (that doesn't require regripping and frontal moves)

I'm find with doing cube rotations.

Can anyone help me out?
Sorry for the trouble


EDIT: Thanks everyone who helped me with finding the "chameleon" algorithm.
But however, I still need the Aa and Ab for COLL (I think that's what it's called). It's like when you have 2 corners and they both have the same color, and you place it opposite of it's respective side then do the algorithm and then all the corners are orientated.

It's funny because I sub 20 2h but yet I don't even know the name of the steps

i know this isnt related to cubing but this is the best place to ask. so where can i get speed stacking cups cheaply in UK?

Is Ao5 sub19 good for person who is speedcubing over 3 months?

Amazing.

Is Ao5 sub19 good for person who is speedcubing over 3 months?

wow. thats very good. i was 22s after 2 months.

 

[o2gulo]

Is Ao5 sub19 good for person who is speedcubing over 3 months?

I think that is faster than the average. Good job I have been cubing for 3 years (on/off) and I'm still stuck at 25~30 avg

Thanks guys, I'm so motivated by you. Now I wanna get sub20 in Ao100 .
~~~~~~
I think I have fast progress because I make 10-20 solves in school and learn algs (in morning I have more clear mind to learning algs), practising Color Neutral (seriously, I have MUCH better lookahead by that) and making 100 solves at evening (minimum 100 solves )
Sorry for my english, I suck -,-.

Here's a 2-gen one I know from COLL:
R' U2 (R U R' U) R2 U2 R' U' R U' R'

Edit:
NVM the eyes need to be facing you, not the left.
Also forgot to mention, I'm no expert at OH so I don't know how good this is.

do you use 4 look last layer or 3 look? OR even 2 look?
make sure you dont pause during f2l and its will be easily sub 20. oh assuming you know full PLL and 2 look OLL.
and BTW nice video editing skill.

edit: just saw your edit, thats a lot of practice. if you keep it up you'll surpass me in a matter of weeks. i go weeks without practice and when i do, i only do at most 50 solve per day. #respect for the amount of practice you do

Seriously, I don't even know what are- 4look or 3look or even 2look LL. Shame on me. I have very very slow LL and cross. I make cross in 3-4 secods, sometimes even over 4 seconds, and a 7 seconds for LL or more. Now you can see that I have nice F2L, but other sucks You have sub15 Ao12, that's my dream ^^. And thanks for respect.

4 look = 2 look OLL + 2 look PLL i.e. you need 2 alg for the oll and 2 alg fro pll, hence 2 look, you look at it twice.
3 look = 2 look OLL + 1 look PLL i.e. you know all plls
2 look = OLL + PLL

with in 6 months you will be laughing in my face with a sub 15 ao 100 whilst i struggle to sub 15 ao12 if you carry on practising that much. I cant sub 15 consistently and im not improving by much so you dont have to worry.

Start working on your cross and LL now. I averaged around 17, with my cross often taking 4 seconds or even more, and my LL regularly taking 7 seconds or above. Its only now that i am really trying to drill my cross and LL, and wish i started early.

I thank you so much for that : ) I use 2look LL, but I still don't know 10-15 OLL, something like that. I wanna get sub15 ao12 in this summer

Yeep, I have slow recognising and regriping for LL :<
There are my Ao12 for each PLL (so slow, while I'm cubing I have much worse times)

dude that's insane... I've been cubing for about a year (with like a 3 month break in between) and I'm only around 17-18 seconds, and I still haven't gotten around to memorizing OLL and PLL.

Does the QJ Timer v2 have a data post? And does it work with PPT/CCT?
