The best thing ever happened today. My pyraminx popped. I had tried to disassemble it before but couldn't (well I probably could have but I didn't want to force it too much). So I thought it was a good opportunity to try some lube in it. I put in two drops of maru and suddenly my pyraminx went from blahh to godly. Then I got some nice PBs.
Ao5 = 6.17
Ao12 = 6.81
Ao100 = 7.59 (yeah, compare this best Ao100 to yesterday's...)

1439 previous + 278 today = 1717 TOTAL

sneaklyfox suggested I give this a try. I'm not sure I have time to really pull it off, but I'll give it a shot.

I have no idea what my current PBs are for 3x3x3; I'll just assume that if I manage this whole marathon, I'll probably break them all, so hopefully I'll know after this is done. I'll need to do a lot more than 140 per day, since there will be some days where I don't have any time. 250 is a decent start.

 

[5BLD]

Just have later nights! G'luck with it.. I may attempt this again, tis ultimate test of dedication really, i probably cant even do this many solves for one day anymore

 

[sneaklyfox]

Nah, I'd say the 10k marathon is harder than this one. This one is just moderate.

 

[kunparekh18]

But I still think that this is insane, I've probably done only some 4000 solves my entire life.

It amazes me that people are capable of getting a sub-24 average in competiton without having done more than 4000 solves in their entire life. By the time I did my first 4000 solves, I bet I was still averaging above 40 seconds.

But that depends. I know some people who have been cubing for less than me and still are faster. Feliks was sub-20 after 2 months of cubing o.O

Seriously, solving a cube with one hand while juggling is not something everyone can do

No really good singles or averages today, but my consistency improved a bit and my average improved very slightly. I guess that's why I'm doing this anyway, so I guess it's working. Wow it's hard to do 250 solves a day.

Feliks was sub-20 after 2 months of cubing o.O

Very true, but I suspect he did a lot more than 4000 solves in that 2 months.

I misread late last night for the 10000. Still, a good achievement to go for

I know you've done the 10k marathon a few times or something, right? 10k must be ultimate test of dedication. I simply don't have that kind of time, but this one is doable. I try to stay within a month though some others have taken longer.

Frankly, I didn't really care today. I was tired from spending half the day waiting in emergency. Just wanted to do 100 solves. Plus, I think my maru has dried up.

Not good. My worst average yet, and consistency wasn't as good. And I admit that I really don't think I'm getting as much out of my changes as I originally thought I would. My OLLs are getting more solid, my fingertricks are clearly better throughout the solve, yet my overall speed is not improving. Will I ever be sub-20?

Everything felt a little better today; the times weren't that much better, but it felt better. A couple of real disaster solves in there messed up the overall average a bit - especially the 36.60 pop, which could easily have been sub-20 without the pop. It was especially good near the end.

No PBs today but I was close. Maru must have worn out but when I tried added a couple drops again it didn't really make it better this time. Not sure why. TBH, I've lost a bit of motivation. I guess part of it is because I'm rooting for my ShengShou. I'm waiting for it to arrive.

Like I said two days ago, I lost some motivation. I didn't do anything yesterday. But weekends are also busier for me so that's my excuse. And this coming week will also be busier than usual. Maybe by the end of it my SS will have arrived. Hmm... I also just realized I got the same best Ao5 today as my record... 6.17. So that's not too bad. Of course, I would have been happier if it were slightly faster... oh well.

Definitely better than any of my days last week. Over the weekend, I did untimed practice, especially with lookahead, but also on PLLs. The bad thing for me was that this felt outrageously faster (my lookahead in particular was better than it's ever been before, and I made far fewer mistakes, and my turning accuracy was better), yet it was less than a half second faster than my best day last week. It just seems so hard to improve at 3x3x3 speedsolving. I don't understand why more people don't do BLD, since it seems to require massively less work to improve at BLD than at speedsolving. I'm quite sure I've put much more practice into 3x3x3 speedsolve than I did into 3x3x3 BLD by the time I got sub-1:30 at that. So for me, it appears sub-1:30 BLD is easier than sub-20 speed. Is that just a difference in my personal abilities, or is it just a demonstration that most people really prefer speedsolving to BLD, and actually practice speedsolving that much?

About the same as yesterday, slightly better. It felt a lot better, but there were some periods when I lost my concentration that really hurt the average. Like right after that 12.95 - I always do terribly after a really good solve - it's like it throws my rhythm off or something. I'm quite sure the 12.95 is my all-time best single, lucky or unlucky. It was amazingly lucky:

Not a bad fewest moves solve, actually. And the first move of the OLL was completely unnecessary, so it would have really been 34.

I do that too all the time. Terrible solves after awesome solves.
