Bumping this thread because I have the same issue with my (stickerless) QiYi Square-1: the bottom layer is much faster than the top layer. I tried putting different weight lubes on the layers but that only makes a small difference. And when I swap the layers (i.e. do /(6,6)/) the bottom is still...

Lucas Etter got a 6.24 average http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=4108&cat=1&rnd=1

Fun fact - the last world record was set 43 days ago on January 19. This is the longest world record drought since December 2014 - February 2015 when there were no world records for 70 days.

36.80 (8/6') - L' F2 L2 D2 U2 L F2 R D2 F2 R B2 F' D B2 U' L U' R2 B' Rw2 [13.73 / 23.07] splits First sub-40 since beginning to learn edge commutators! I'm about 1/4 of the way through right now.

Probably not super helpful, but here's an easy continuation you could do that gives a PLL skip (R2 D' R D R2 D' R D) - F2L (U R U' R U R2 U' R2) - OLL + PLL skip I'm in the same boat. Finding optimal or at least really good insertions for 5C takes me 20-25 minutes. Though I'm by no means a top...

Max got a 6.13 average this weekend as well https://m.cubecomps.com/competitions/3866/events/1/rounds/2/results

Feliks just got a 5.91 average http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=3640 6.07, 5.64, (5.24), 6.02, (8.41) Needed a 5.73 on the final solve for WR

Thanks, that helps

I just began learning 3-style for edges, and I have a question about parity. For corners my buffer is UBL and I use setups to a Y-perm to solve parity. This swaps the UB and UL edges. I execute edges first though, so I need to set these two edges up to be swapped. From what I understand, the two...

I'll admit it is a bit strange he is the only one who got a good time on the scramble, but it seems plausible at least. If it wasn't an obvious XXcross, the lower-caliber competitors may not have recognized it. And the only other sub-8 cubers there were Antoine and Kaijun. Kaijun uses Roux. And...

That's crazy! Cool stat - proportionally speaking, this is the second biggest drop in the 3x3 single WR in the WCA era. Erik's 7.08 is first, at 81.2% of the previous record of 8.72. Though Yusheng Du's 3.47 isn't far behind at 82.2% of 4.22.

It was @ChrisCuber123 actually, turns out it was a prank though...
