Read this : I LOVE Youuuuuuuuuuu, you are a special woman in my cubing experiences, your mood and your skills AWESOME!

Time to get back my cubing mood heheheeheheheh
 
There is something magical about a 4+ pieces pop on your 4x4 while listening to Telegraph Road by the Dire Straits.

Nicely rocking along and turning, and then you do a turn you should not do.. I mean.. it cuts 1 and 1/4.. NOT half a cube LOLOL
 
Oh I don't mind.. it only popped a little.

Imagine that.. turn your 4x4 so the top layer is 45 degrees and then make it pop. That is what I did.. the cube was still in that position when I put the pieces back in.

You'd say massive pop right? Like on Crazybadcubers video? Not so on the v-cube!

Two centerpieces and two edge pieces were completely out and one of those big inner connector pieces was sticking out a bit and could easily be pushed back in.
I guess that is another reason I love the v-cube. No anti popping system, but when it DOES pop it doesn't do it so massively lol at least not for me ;)


Today I have a mild muscle ache in my hands due to the heavy cubing I did yesterday, BUT I am going to do the same thing today :D
 
I don't know if you mean 4 X 4 or 3 X 3? My times on the 3 X 3 are not so great as before my competition psych-out. But... that being said, I am very happy with my consistency. Each weekly competition, race to sub20 and substep entries are equal. When I do an Ao100 I am always sub 29 and most are low 28. And after reading the topic about getting sub 30 is hard I am very pleased with my result. That is besides having a 12 hour work day, family with small children and doing a bachelor study at night school. I was hoping for a sub 25 or even sub 20 results this year, but I think am happy where I am at right now and I would love to show these numbers in a competition.

On the 4 X 4... not so great. I had the most amazing entry in weekly competition with a sub 3 average and 2.09 single.. Every other solve that I did after that was closer to 4:30 minute.. Go figure..
 
Yeah.. the 4x4. I haven't done a 3x3 solve proper since I started dedicating on the 4x4. I want to get those down proper first for Eindhoven.. though.. sub2.. ehhh

Can't you organizing guys make that sub3? ;) LOL! That at least is a goal I CAN make *chuckle*


I think you are doing nicely given the available time to practice :)
 
Whahaha oh man..

As you guys know.. I have a kitty.. or two ;) (see avatar)

I am busy doing a solve, finding pairs and then the cat with the white stripe on his nose jumps on my lap, leans its head against my wrist and starts just looking up at me.

Imagine my hands are moving, his head is bobbing all over the place as I am doing this but it stays against my wrist.. his nose is half in my sleeve at this point.. and staaaaarreeeee at me. I see this with half an eye while searching for them pairs and bob bob bob goes the head.. and then I start laughing because that sight was just too adorably funny. *laughs*

Byebye good time whahahaha
 
LOL It does depend though. Usually he sits next to me on a stool and stares, I guess he wants me to rotate him every now and then ;)

They get plenty of cuddles hehe
 
It took a while but I finally got my tensions to just the right point. Involved 1/8th screw turns and all that, but.. all tensions on all sides are now the exact same (Marcel knows this feeling hehe ;) ) and I could tighten it up a bit more to add more stability without losing the feel. It paid off, I blasted 10 secs off my records.

Wow, I envy those times. I have been looking at Yao tuts (Cyoubx) and all.. So far the tips that I got in the Solve critique topic helped me shave about 20 seonds of my average.. Just did an Ao5 of 3.10.. You are really faster than me.. Some how my new cube has glue from the old stickers washed between the internals (I was not carefull enough when cleaning the glue) and it is slow now. And I am not up to disassembling the 4 X 4.. It takes me about 2 hours to assemble.. Two hours that I rather spend on cubing ;)
 
You're kidding me.. that long?

Did you follow cyoubx's assembly tut?

You could try soft glue remover, I usually take wasbenzine (I think that was it) to get the sticker glue off, but that is on the outside of the cubies of course.


Mind.. I know about Yao, as in I heard of it, but not a clue otherwise.

But I feel disassembling, cleaning and reassembling is worth it :D

btw I too learnt 4x4 last Saturday haven't timed myself yet, will try on Sunday :D
