My apologies if this was asked earlier in this thread, but is there an algorithm for OLL parity that you can do during F2L? I have found that I can pretty consistently determine if I will have OLL parity during my third or fourth F2L pair, and I feel like there should be an alg for OLL parity...

Wyoming summer 2022 anyone?

For sledgehammers starting with R or L’, just do lw or rw’ (respectively), then U’/U, R’/L, U/U’. For sledgehammers starting with B or B’ I prefer to use my ring fingers for back turns and do more “wristy” turns for R/L. I use both ring fingers once for each respective sledgehammer, hopefully...

Cube: MoYu RS3M 2020 Method: CFOP Goal: sub-12 ao12: 12.24 (0/3) Times: (10.07), 12.45, (17.03), 15.47, 13.39, 10.45, 10.51, 10.65, 12.12, 12.74, 12.22, 12.37 Nice to feel like I'm finally making some progress - bummer that I had that counting 15. Sub-12 feels like it's in sight now.

Updates for the last two weeks: The past two weeks have been pretty busy for me, hence the lack of an update post last week. I'm starting to really focus in on Mega and Pyra, I've learned essentially full 4LLL for Mega, just missing a few cases for corner orientation, but I have a pretty good...

Slow solves I would say are good for general lookahead improvement, but you might want to do targeted practice to improve lookahead in specific areas. For example, drilling F2L case recognition from all angles will help with F2L lookahead (so for example recognizing cases where an edge is in a...

Welcome to the forums! Something you might want to look into is using stickered cubes and using a custom color scheme - this could help you differentiate the different colors easier. I’ve met cubers who are color blind who use this technique to help them out!

Cube: Moyu RSM 2020 Method: CFOP Goal: Sub-12 Ao12: 13.88 (0/3) Times: (23.23), 13.55, (11.70), 15.23, 12.88, 12.64, 17.79, 13.26, 12.03, 14.25, 13.09, 14.03 Tried to do COLL on the first solve, messed up the cross on the 17. Honestly so many things I'm working on right now for 3x3 I'm not...

Welcome to the forums! Very cool that you have returned to cubing after so long!

Updates for the last week (and a half) The Denxnver competition yesterday went very well! I ended up getting a PR in everything except 3x3 and 4x4. Overall I was happy with everything, I missed cutoff for clock and 7x7 so I wasn't able to get an official average for those sadly :( Did get...

Same here!

It looks like the waitlist for Florida Spring 2022 A isn’t publicly available on the WCA website. For Northern Colorado 2022 it’s available in a tab on the competition page here: https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/competitions/NorthernColoradoCubing2022#17712-competition-full-waitlist-open

It depends - for the comp happening in Denver tomorrow for example I think about 3-4 people were added from the waitlist from what I can tell. Sixth might be pushing it, but the good thing is Colorado has a great cubing community, so it’s likely there will be more competitions coming up in the...

Cube: MoYu Weilong V1 Method: CFOP Goal: sub-12 ao12: 13.03 (0/3) Times: 13.04, 12.02, (16.62), 15.41, 12.37, 11.84, 13.84, (11.17), 11.89, 13.64, 13.74, 12.52 not good at all, need to work on going slower for lookahead

https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/speedcubing-in-arizona.9413/page-6 Looks like there's a couple cubers there, this thread is not entirely dead. I know Colorado and Utah have pretty solid cubing communities, so you at least have something only a state (or two) away.

I haven’t bought from SCS, but when a cube I recently bought from the cubicle had a piece break, they sent me a replacement piece free of charge. Took a little while to get it all sorted out, but I’m grateful I didn’t have to pay anything additional for the replacement.

Welcome to the forums! You’re much faster than me at squan haha. What other cubes do you like?

Updates for this week: Mostly focused on 3-5 this week, really enjoying these cubes right now For 3x3, not much improvement time-wise, but then again I haven't done a huge number of timed solves, so it could just be a matter of not having enough data to go off of. Got a couple of sub-9 singles...
