I saw this on Bob Burton's web site. I could never get that alg down for some reason.

This is without doubt the easiest N perm alg. If you struggle with it, try Badmephisto's algs first - they're the same but executed on the U face. I learnt what the algs do that way, moving a corner around the face... but I have to regrip twice to do it. Then I found these algs, which do the same but on R face = no regrip! Took about 2 seconds off each for me!

Round 152, Event: ZZ
37.72
29.77, 1:16.78, 36.59, 42.06, 35.78, 45.75, 41.42, 29.78, 32.62, 41.98, 21.52, 41.44
I'm amazed how fast ZZ seems when I get a good solve. That 21.52 felt like I was moving so much slower than a similar CFOP solve would.

I will start OH here. Not even being able to do an average at a comp sucks. Sub-30 will take a loooooooong time. Still, I will try
Pinky got really tired after 9 solves, that's why the last 3 were bad.

So... just for lolz, thought I'd give this spreadsheet a go, as I've never bothered drilling PLLs - just memorised them and left it at that, assumed they'd speed up on their own as I'm probably doing 50-odd solves/day. It's late and I'm kinda tired, as it's 12:30 am here and I have a baby, but no excuses for what follows!
Overall PLL average 3.33 seconds. Even in the beginner section I have 6 in red (Z, Nb, F, Rb, Ga, Gd)!!! I thought my F perm and Z perm were pretty good, I'm actually quite surprised. Didn't realise how slow my PLL was till now.
But seriously, how have I ever hit 21 second full-step solves with 3 second PLL and mainly 2-look OLL? I've been concentrating on F2L, but maybe I should do some drills. Do you guys spend much time/have you ever spent much time drilling PLLs?
Anyhow, need to complete more of the sheet, but off to bed. I'm sure there are improvements I could make at every stage - my cross is terrible, but again I've never bothered just practicing cross, despite the number of people recommending blind cross solving... I want to know the ratio of my solve elements, but that will have to wait till tomorrow night now. This is actually quite a positive thing for me though: I assumed all progress from now would basically be F2L, but my cross and PLL could probably both save me at least a second. Whoop whoop!

You must have one godly F2L if your cross AND PLL are terrible. I HIGHLY reccomend drilling your slow PLLs, it helped me a ton. PLL should be your fastest step, since its the easiest to recognize (debatable, I know), and it has the least cases. And blind cross does do some magic as well if you do it a good 50 times at least. You'll start to notice certain patterns and shortcuts you can take.

I take 15-17s for cross +F2L but due to LL I average 26 :'(

I think I learned from jskyler91. Then changed the regrip to do the UD' or DU' as one move.
Also, PLL including recognition should be about 21.5% of solve time according to speedpicker's data. So I would say
sec execution is pretty fast, maybe sub-20 territory.

What, no sub 20s this week? ;-)
Only kidding, awesome times - you're absolutely flying! Remember the days when sub 30 was only a dream?
Congrats on graduating, will be doing my solves tonight - unless something disastrous happens I should be joining you... Race to sub 20?

Haha, none this time
I still remember my reaction when I got my first sub-40 haha. Sub-30 felt impossible.
And of course you're graduating, no doubt
will start the race to sub20 as soon as the results for this week are out hcfong

Right here goes, wish me luck...
Round 153: Speed - Average 26.79
WOOHOO!
Chuffed to be graduating, but some really terrible solves. There were only maybe one or two I was happy with. I did 72 solves on my lunch break today, which would've been unthinkable a few months ago - I only have an hour for lunch!
Beat my non-lucky PB with a 20.69, then again with a 20.50. Beat Ao12 PB with a healthy 24.25, but session average was 26.80, so I guess 0.01 off this in the contest is a fair indication of my progress!

Looks like there's going to be a few people graduating this week. Party on speedsolving!

Finally. Graduated. I remember when I was averaging around 50 sec, I got an easy scramble and solved it in 29 sec. I was amazed at that time. I never thought that I will ever reach sub 30 of av12.
