Cubing FML

[Jaycee]

In study hall right now. Just did an average of 5 and got 13.87. Was already warmed up because I did some solve during lunch. First solve 11, last solve 10. SLOW TURNING BECAUSE STUDY HALL. Loud cube annoys people. Slow turning is tolerable. NFEIFHRSBKJDS<FUIEKJFBUEWIKJF If I had done those two solves at home one of them could have been PB >.< Possibly a new avg5 PB as well! >.<

The slow turning probably helped lookahead. the solves might've been faster at home, but... not fully an fml.

Sadness time!

I decided to spend several days to practice 2x2, and now I'm almost sub 5 with 2x2. However, I went from being 17 seconds on 3x3 to 18 seconds
Guess I should have alternated days to practice, huh?

Got a super easy Xcross, easy f2l, was on PLL at 4, but it had "parity". I did two adjacent cross edges wrong -_-

That always happen to me...especially when the lighting is bad.

Warming up with cold hands, averaging 17s with one time sub-average after 16 solves... then LL skip.
17. 10.96 L B2 D2 L' U2 B2 D2 F2 L B L U2 R' D2 L' U F R
Can't reconstruct. Wasn't even in my top 5 times... it definitely should've been. F2L was very easy (did something like L R U2 L' R' somewhere), except last slot which was R U' R' U' R U' R' U R U' R' or its mirror.

48. 13.03+ R2 B2 U' F2 R2 B2 D L2 U L2 F R B2 L' D' B' L2 D2 B' L'
LL skip. Again. Third within something like a week now. I still can't get good times with them... my average has worsened due to lack of practise. This one was, unlike the others, not entirely unforced; VHLS was F' L' U' L F.
E: woops, first was 4 weeks ago. Still, 2 in 3 days, with only 'very good' times (they should be better for LL skips, especially as LL is the worst part of my solves). All three of them have been in this thread... they should be in the accomplishments thread.

Wow that's a lot of LL skips. How much do you practice? Ie only had one LL skip, and I've been cubing for a little over a year now

 

[IRNjuggle28]

What method are you using? I assumed ZZ or Roux from the signature, but Roux isn't a LBL and ZZ wouldn't need VHLS because EO is done. CFOP?

Maybe 30 solves a day, although until recently it's been more like 100+. I have too much work now. It's weird that I've had no luck when I was practising twice this much, and now I'm getting this many LL skips.

CFOP. I hate CFOP, which is why I have Roux/ZZ tutorials in my sig, but it's the only method I'm good at even after quite a bit of time (~1 month each) using Roux and ZZ only. I'm too inefficient with Roux; my movecount reaches 70 quite often; and I can't look ahead with ZZ.

I was taking a dump, and dropped my cube in all the poop. I took it out, and got poop slathered all over my hands.

Friend learns 4LLL in one day. Races me. Beats me when I literally beat him by 5 Seconds three times in a row a day ago. FML.

At least you know someone that speedsolves, i only know 2 people that can solve, but it takes them about 3 minutes.

You should be excited to have a friend who motivates you to get better. Don't take it as a negative. Use it as FUEL to improve!

Had a really nice single that locked up on the second to last turn. time was 10.5. Missed getting my 10th sub ten because of a stupid lockup. FML

 

[TheNextFeliks]

7x7-2x2 realy: I finished 7x7 in record time. 6x6... I popped the internals. I repaired it, skipped the rest since it was average time and got 15:02.xx. Ugh. That sucked.

Waiting for cubes to come in the mail... AND THEY NEVER !@#$^@# DO!!!

I have that same feeling.

 

[Rocky0701]

I have that same feeling.

I had to wait for 3 1/2 weeks one time for a cube that had 3-5 day shipping

This also reminds me that the Puzzle that i'm currently waiting on has a broken tracking number.
