White was already almost there, then yellow was quickly done. First pair already sorted and it was all going fast down hill from there :D
 
Wow, nice one! I'll let you celebrate some more. I tried it too and got 2:20.27. (Yeah, I'm using some knockoff brand that locks like crazy and I don't really do 4x4 and haven't done a 4x4 solve in like two months...) but you beat me. :) You need to update your signature...
 
I know.. I am doing an average.. so let's see what comes rolling out.

here try this one:

ROFL NAAAAHHHHH

Two more solves for the average of 12 to come up. As of solve 9 the hard springs are in there again. The cube is breaking in and I needed to put in a third washer.. that would be.. ehh.. yeah. So I figured.. let's see about them hard ones again. Yep, they work this time. Amazing how much breaking in a cube does!!

Do go ahead.. it's so much fun!

All I did was learn two algorithms, not even the adjacent edges one since I am just as fast solving the across and then the rotate three edges algos. Learning them all is more for the 3x3 (which I haven't picked up in a while).
 
Hurrah! Since this is the first time I've timed 4x4, I have a new PB. 9:25.83, and that includes the time taken to go Google the PLL parity alg. I had no idea I was so slow :)
 
*giggles* Well done!!

I only know two algs.. flip single edge and across edge switch. With those two you can solve it all :)

Two opposite edges swap parity: r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 u2
Single edge flip: r2 U2 r2 U2 r U2 r U2 r' U2 B2 U' r' U B2 U' r U'

which I break down to this, to easily remember:
r2 U2 r2 U2
r U2 r U2
r' U2 B2 U'
r' U B2 U'

r U' is nice but you can see by then you need to do the r and the U' is.. rather useless *giggles*

Uhmm I really need to SEE that lol cause I don't get it? I tried to replicate it on my cube, but nope. :confused:
Click to expand...

You can set up an adjacent edges parity by doing: [sexy move] [opposite edges parity alg] [sexy move]'

Or in other words R U R' U' - opposite edges parity alg - U R U' R'
 
Sub 8 minutes on second attempt! You should see the smoke rising from my cube... I think it's melting.

I still can't memorize the OLL parity for the life of me though. Why is that alg so hard? I'm generally pretty good at learning algs but that one is a PITA.
 
Which OLL parity are you talking about?

I have made a short vid on how I solve that adjacent edge parity thing using the opposite edge swap (r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 u2)
