I still peak in every day or so. 😁

Yeah I'm on Facebook very little these days so I don't follow the group there much.

Would you move this thread into the subforum? This thread doesn't get near the activity it used to, but I would like to keep it around. Also, if we have this thread bookmarked would that get linked to the new location?

For professional bowling 50 is considered senior. I think for cubing we have it right setting the line at 40.

My first and second blind attempts were successes, the only two I've had. Third attempt I only had 3 minutes left and was averaging about 6 so I solved only corners successfully. :)

Marcel got to about a 17 second average I believe. This thread was a huge inspiration to many of us older cubers, but there is a lot more activity on the Senior Cubers Worldwide Facebook group now a days!

Glad you found this! There's a lot more activity on the Senior cubers worldwide Facebook group these days!

It is opt in, but WCA has provided enough data so he can determine if there are others faster that are not on the list. If you scroll through you'll see some missing rank numbers, those are the people missing from the list. :)

It seems the group is a bit different than a year ago. Used to be if I missed two days it would take me an hour to catch up! Are the oldies more into the Facebook group these days?

I'm young at heart that way... Sometimes. :)

I just watched the video. I also think it misses the main differences (well it mentions them but doesn't give them much weight). I think the three biggest are being young (meaning a more sponge like mind, better visual recognition, faster reflexes, etc.), the amount of time to practice, and turn...

Thanks Mark! I've peeked in the thread probably less than a dozen times over the last year and know there's lots of new cubers here (at least I think). It kind of feels weird... like I'm an outsider where I used to belong. I thought today might motivate me to get back into it, and it definitely...

Hey guys, haven't been on the forum in ages! I did my first comp today in almost a year (a year tomorrow actually). I haven't been practicing much and averaged 20.87 in 3x3, 1:20 in 4x4. I did have 1:06 which is pretty good for me even when I was in practice. :) It was fun like always! One of...

Sorry what I meant was any of the 3 basic cases. Same color on top, opposite colors on top, or white on top. It can be hard spotting the edge, I can relate when I try to be color neutral! This is probably what you do already, but I suggest finding a white corner, seeing what two other colors...

You can always do any of the cases, but sometimes there is an extra setup move first. For opposite colors, the edge has to be across from the corner such that the white sticker is on the "side" of the pair (either left or right). If the edge is across such the white sticker is "behind" the pair...

As far as just getting used to the three basic cases for f2l I found this two part video good.

I had a family reunion in my hometown this weekend, and got to talk a little bit about cubing. My sister videoed it for me. :)

It's on my calendar so I'm hoping to be there!

Congrats Jae! Great work on MBLD!!

I first solved using Petrus in my 30s a little, but not too try and improve. But I never really got into it until I was 40. Like everyone else said you can get pretty fast with your method! If you look on cstimer there are different types of scrambles like only the last layer. You could use that...
