Just got a PB 11.66 avg5 :P

What's your best avg12?
 
OH:
PB avg12: 26.36 and avg5: 24.45
28.66, 29.86, 26.11, 25.03, (21.00), 25.48, 24.52, (32.97), 23.36, 22.84, 28.93, 28.82

I think I'm starting to get quite safely sub 30 now with a 29.75 avg100 today and 29.14 a few days ago.
Maybe I should return to the "race to sub 30" thread now :P
 
The 1980s 4x4s are better than the Rubik's brand ones of today.
Agreed. The 1980s ones and the previous version of the Rubik's 4x4 (like, the ones you might have seen before 2010 or so, with the ball core) had pretty much identical mechanisms, and back when my main cube was a Rubik's I had a lot of sub-1s (with quite a bit less skill than I have now, I might add). They're pretty decent cubes.

I think I average about 6.5-7, but after about 35 solves the session was at 6.01 average, and I got a few 4 second averages and a 5.48 ao12 with a counting 8.

I want to get to a 5 second average by ausnats, not sure if I should stay with V->L4E or I should adopt a corner first approach like most of the faster people use.

There were some stupid scrambles like one move to 2 flip, and a scramble with no tips lol.

Edit: We have the same comp average ^
 
Nice average Tim :) Cool to see you're getting back into pyra. If you'd like, you could check out some pyraminx example solves I uploaded today. I use a 3 edges around one tip + centers > L3E approach like most faster pyraminx solvers so maybe you'd be interested in checking that out. Not sure if it would be a good idea to change methods too close to nationals though, but that's entirely up to you.

Just practicing for podium at nats, and because I don't want Feliks' average above mine officially. Finally having a good Pyraminx does help as well. I'm fine with Jason having a better average because he actually practices Pyraminx.

My "ideal" method stems from V->L4E and it would allow easy one looking for most solves (with low movecount), but 100+ algs is too much for me, and unlike L4E algs, these aren't very intuitive.

In case you're curious, it's basically just making a non-permuted V then solving the rest in one algorithm. First step is roughly 3 moves on average, second step is just one of those algorithms to finish.
 
Interesting. Sounds like the equivalent to EG on a pyraminx. I can dig it ;)

I think the Top>Centers method works the best for me right now just because L3E is a really really nice step. I've heard that L4E isn't actually nearly as bad as I would imagine though, and I have considered learning it for cases where I can't lookahead all the way up to the L3E.
