2x2x2: avg12: 4.24, 4.36, 3.72, (8.21), 4.50, (1.27), 3.60, 4.34, 4.20, 2.34, 2.43, 3.70 > 3.74

Probably a PB average. I almost rolled out the 8.21 successfully, but failed (3.75).
I need to learn more SS algs. :rolleyes:

1.27 was 5 moves: R F R' D2 F D L' B' D2 B L' U B U L D L' F D' R2 D2 L2 D B2 D
Also try to FMC these:
2.34 L D B' R2 D' L' F' R' B2 R U R F2 L2 B' D' R' U2 L U' F U L F2 R'
2.43 B' L2 B R2 B2 D2 L B' U2 B2 L2 F2 U' L D L' D2 L2 F U' R B2 R' D F2

i just got a freaking lucky 5x5 solve..first centre was 3 moves, and the second centre came free. and a triple x cross in 3 moves. so I stoned about 10s. filled in the f2l, did LL, and filled in top and bottom edges and solved the middle edges. final centres was about 45s. 1:59.10 first sub 2!

I did one mile in 7 minutes. I think I can get sub 6:30.

 

[Derrick Eide17]

Rubik's Magic One Handed in 2.31 seconds!

Edit: ARGHHHH!! LOL I did about 3 solves RIGHT after posting this and just got another 2.31 AGAIN! XD

haha. Cubers not athletic?
I just did 23:50 for 5000m, about 3.1 miles. Actually that's failure, not accomplishment compared to what I consider decent times, but it's an OK time considering this is right after I hit my leg while trying to jump over a table (so now my leg is bloody). Sub-20 is more difficult for this than sub-20 on the cube.
I shall try and break 6min for 1 mile this afternoon.

I'm getting worse at the mile as I'm getting too many cramps. If it hurts too much, my running gets very slow.

5th grade: 7:29
6th grade: 7:31
Now: 9:06 (My recent run wasn't timed, so I don't know if it's better.)

Mine have always been slow (9-10+) because I'm fat and lazy.

That's like me! Except my decline wasn't that extreme. I remember running a mile under 8min with ease in elementary school. Got 8:10 in 9th grade and then back to 6:38 in 10th. And then, I think I did around 6:25 a while ago. I didn't get a chance to try this afternoon. I shall try perhaps Monday. Can't wait to sub-6! I think at the moment, this is much more important than cubing.

Now you inspired me to beat my mile record of 6:44!!!

Good luck. You'll have to practise hard, Japanese is very hard to learn (especially for us westerners).
