First timed 3x3 session for 2 months and I get a PB ao50. So 4x4 and 2x2 practice does help 3x3!

Ok, cool! I want to see that.

Well you have to wait a little longer unfortunately. The cube is off-camera for most of the video. It was a 19.01 average as well

But good things come to those who wait, right?

Nice!! So close to sub 30 PB Are you sticking with the Weilong now? I try to get back to Weilong but after using CX3 I don't really appreciate the Weilong as much as I used to do. The Weilong turns much faster than the CX3 and is smoother.. But the CX3 is bigger and I have better recognition on that. Also moves like small f go better because the pieces are bigger. So I guess Cx3 improves my times because of size.

No I keep switching cubes all the time - Weilong, Fangshi, ZhanChi, Lingyun. Every time I switch I think "hey this cube is better because of xxx" then switch again next day

You're like Feliks. He's cube-neutral.

And that's where the similarity ends...

This made me laugh. Thank you.

Very nice! I don't think I can top that any time soon

Hey, pretty nice, Schmidt!

so is your sig! Time for interpretation:

I am the fastest!... at making babies. BLD noob 7:46.91

1. You have not tried it that many times but still managed to get pregnant in 7:46.91 wearing a blindfold?
2. You are already pregnant again, despite the twins are but a few months old?

1. I probably could have gotten pregnant in 7:46.91 wearing a blindfold , but... true story is somehow the forum wouldn't let me add the BLD stuff to the second line instead.
2. If that were true I would die. And they are now 7 weeks old. Cuties.

Lovely!! They are so sweet (when they do sleep LOL).

Wow, maybe I should actually try them! Nice job

All we need now is (better) look ahead and AUF prediction.
​Oh and I beat you in everything else too!

Hi, Marcel from Holland here

​Oh and I beat you in everything else too!

Just my input, I think you should both turn a little faster. That along with AUF prediction would serve you well as a quick fix.
