Hi all, sorry for the massive necropost, but I've generated the full sets of algs for all steps in the EZD variant, available in this spreadsheet. There are several algs which seem to be new (at least in the context of SSC). Some of my favourites are: R2U'F2U2R2U'R2F2 for J/J corner perm +...

Seems like the second move in the solution above should be (0,1) instead of (0,2). 0,-3/-3,0/-4,0/2,1/3,0/ [CS] -2,0/ [CO] -3,-3/3,0/3,0/-1,-1/-2,1/-3,0/ [EO] 6,3/-3,0/3,3/0,-3/0,-3/3,0/-1,-1/4,1/-6,0/2,-3 [J/J+adj/adj] [21|52] Next: (6, 5) / (6, -3) / (1, -2) / (2, -4) / (-3, 0) / (-3, -5) /...

Hi all, first example solve here. -4,0/-2,3/2,-3/2,1/3,0/ [CS] 1,0/-4,5/ [CO] -2,1/3,0/-1,-1/-3,0/ [EO] 0,-5/-3,0/3,3/0,-3/0,-1/3,-3/-3,-3/0,6/3,1 [PBL: J/G = J/J + N/N] [19|49] Next: (0, 5) / (0, 3) / (6, 0) / (-3, 0) / (-5, -2) / (-1, -1) / (0, -5) / (3, 0) / (0, -4) / (1, 0) / (0, -4) /...

Broke PB after more than three months! The last solve of a rather crappy session. Also first reconstruction ever, so yay. 16.02 D F2 L2 D' R2 U2 B2 L2 U F2 D' B F' L' F U' F U2 F' L U2 y L' D' R' F D' //cross U' R U2 R' L U' L' //F2L1 U' L' U L B' R B R' //F2L2 U' R U2 R' U' R U R' //F2L3 L'...

Race to sub-25, Round 81 3x3 Speed (CFOP, 3LLL) Ao12: 21.79 19.95 (17.94) (27.28) 21.88 22.32 26.06 24.35 21.82 19.92 20.45 19.28 21.90 Alright! I think my lookahead improved (though it could still use lots of work), and I could predict my first pair for a couple of the easier...

Race to sub-25, Round 80 3x3 Speed (CFOP, 3LLL) Ao12: 23.69 25.94 28.59 22.29 22.44 (29.15) 25.33 18.90 23.35 22.72 24.75 22.55 (17.81) Alright! Lookahead FTW. Now if I keep improving my lookahead, would sub-20 be possible? Hmmm... Also, Mo100 just broke sub-25, so yay! Now I...

I was really busy last week, but excuses are excuses. Sorry Brian D= Race to sub-25, Round 79 3x3 Speed (CFOP, 3LLL) Ao12: 22.27 23.79 22.69 23.82 20.81 21.86 20.88 20.45 24.93 21.85 (32.23) 21.58 (19.25) So I cleaned and relubed my cube the night before last, went out to lunch with...

From personal experience I'd say there's a definite risk of RSI; before I got the Guhong v2 late Feb, I got to sub-30 after three months with my storebought. However, at a few dozen solves a day, I developed pain in my wrists that took a couple of weeks to sort itself out. You can definitely...

Oh no, seems like I'm late... I guess this would just be for my own reference, cos adding it would be too much trouble for Brian. Race to sub-25, Round 77 Speed (CFOP, 3LLL) Ao12: 26.07 31.26 25.77 25.08 (34.63) (20.34) 22.18 22.30 28.31 30.81 21.91 27.56 25.52 Counting 30+s are...

Hello! 4-look LL should be more than enough to get sub-30 in a couple of months, or even sooner, though learning 1-look PLL along the way can't hurt. (3LLL sub-30... hey, that's me! :)) Which brand of 3x3 are you using now? It's a shame that no one around you is really interested in the cube -...

Updates: My Shengshou 2x2 has been decommissioned. I brought my cubes to a relative's house, and someone decided it was a good idea to give it to my 1-year-old cousin to play with... now two stickers have teeth marks on them :mad: I believe I'm global sub-30 now for 3x3 :D Sub-25 solves...
