     Should I switch methods?

     Unless I'm misinterpreting you, you are doing Roux/ZZ wrong. They are similar to Petrus in that they both use blockbuilding - if you are doing the first steps the same way you'd do CFOP, it negates the efficiency benefits you gain from using these methods. Good luck in your search; just...

     [Unofficial] 8.69 avg12 with Roux, with 6.5 single (new fastest on vid :D)

     I remember when we were about the same speed, and now look at you. Damn. Congrats on getting so fast, man. Hopefully you'll keep on pushing Roux further and further.

     It's hard to choose, but probably Daphne Blue (vintage car/guitar color).

     Miscellaneous / non-useful / gimmicky / random fun ways of solving a cube.

     As in one of the Columns First Methods? If so, that hardly belongs in a thread about misc./non-useful/gimmicky/random ways to solve the cube - it is quite a viable method in my opinion.

     What kind of musical instrument can you play?

     My main instrument is the guitar (5 years now, I believe) but I've also known how to play the recorder and harmonica since I was a kid, I just don't focus on them much. About to start getting back into the piano after I bring back a keyboard to my dorm this weekend - I've always loved the...

     How tall are you? March 2011.

     18, turning 19 in July, and still the same height as my previous post: 5'7". Pretty sure I am going to stay at this height - was hoping for another 2 inches or so, but I've been stuck here for a few years now.

      What's in your pockets?

      I always have my phone in my left pocket and then my wallet, school ID (out of my wallet to more easily access card swipe things for buildings/food), and dorm key in my right one. That's about all I carry around in my pockets - I always have a bookbag with me though so I've got school stuff...

      My WitTwo 2x2 is not working properly

      Something very similar happened to me when I first got my WitTwo. Disassemble it and you should notice that some of the "edges" are slightly different than the others, in that they have extra ridges I suppose you could say. Use these all on one corner when reassembling, do not distribute them...
