Unlikely, I suck real bad at OH, do almost no practice and my PB single at home is 35.87.

I'm going to everything I can (until I can't!) Aiming to keep my only cubing accomplishment going since my PB streak died at Worlds... https://jonatanklosko.github.io/wca_statistics/longest_streak_of_competitions_in_own_country

I thought I'd update on my own recent BLD exploits as that's pretty much all I've been practicing for the past 7-10 days since learning M2 to replace OP Edges. I now have all of the M-slice algorithms and parity (edge-first) in muscle memory and can finger-trick most of them too. Most of my...

@bradah - welcome to the madhouse. :) Good luck with the F2L. It's the most important part of CFOP, I think most will agree.

I didn't realise competitions with 3BLD were in such short supply where you are. The UK comp in March is, I believe, the first ever here to have no 3BLD. (Although it does have MBLD.)

I learned M2 3BLD over this past weekend. I haven't fully learned the S and I swaps yet, but considering I've managed to learn a bunch of COLL lately, I should have those 2 cases sewn up in the next day or two. Time to put OP/OP on the shelf now anyway. The April UK competition has 2 round of...

@Bart Van Eynde - over the course of time, your accuracy will improve and that will reduce pops. 4x4 and 6x6 cubes just aren't as stable as 3x3, 5x5 and 7x7 as they don't have a fixed centre. Beyond that, you might want to ask in the Hardware forum and see what people say over there. Good luck.

It worked for me a year ago today... https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/older-cubers-discussions.37405/page-676#post-1212369 :)

Hi mate. Yes, Guildford has moved to early in the year compared to previously. How many PB's I might get at Guildford is likely to depend on how the Wales and Manchester competitions go. I'd settle for one PB if it was just handed out, but as the World Championship ended by PB streak anyway...

Hope you feel better soon @newtonbase.

In the UK we originally switched from paying on the door to PayPal prepayments only; and now we use the payments through the WCA site. That seems to have worked well here. Really hope your comp works out for you. Good work and welcome back. :)

@Lid - Great time mate, well done. @SpartanSailor - Welcome to the Oldies thread. I recall you doing the Race to Sub-X back in the day, which I still run. Hope you continue to make good progress. @One Wheel - I hope attendance picks up for you at your comp. From my experience in running one...

Round Two Hundred and Fourteen No graduates this week. Well done to everyone that entered. @guinepigs rock - you weren't clear about whether you wanted to enter Race to Sub-25 or Race to Sub-30. I've added you to Race to Sub-30 for now. If you want to change, please make this clear when you...
