I know what you mean, I got my mega a week and a half ago and it takes so long to solve that I haven't done that many. I enjoy it in the beginning though when you're making such good progress. Like 19 minutes for the first solve, down to 17, 14, 12, 11, 10... so far my best is 10 minutes but I...

I did 8 solves and gave up after the first one like Jason's where I thought I could restore it but didn't and had to start again. These were my times: Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

I used swimming ear plugs for my first comp, the putty kind that mould into your ears. I found they helped me concentrate since our BLD rounds were held during the lunch break and it was quite noisy. I don't train with them though, and headphones/ear muffs would probably be more convenient as if...

That sounds like fun, I'll try it on one of my breaks today :) Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

So I got a skewb last weekend and learned to solve it on Monday because we had friends staying the weekend. I learned Sarah's method and was getting around 25-30s ish with the occasional 40 something and more occasional around 20s one, with one sub 20 fluke at 18.xx. Then I left it alone for a...

Oh right, see that's how much I know about bigger BLD lol, in other words, nothing :P How does the lettering scheme work? I know, I know, lmgtfy.com, but sometimes it's good to get a brief rundown from people who know what they're talking about rather than try to sift through the entire...

Nice! I am always so impressed by bigger cube BLD, I guess because I only know M2/OP and don't understand commutators yet, so I don't get how it works, haha. Here's my reaction, you can't really tell but I was so damn nervous I could barely hold the cube in this one. So the reaction is...

Yeah I attribute a good chunk of my blind success to the fact that I bussed down to wellington so I probably got 5 hours of practice, mainly blind but a bit of the others too, in that time. I also did a few practice blind solves in my friends living room while a bunch of my friends were jamming...

I think I have that on video too, it might have been really underwhelming because I was trying to be quiet for the others and wasn't sure what I was allowed to do, lol. I'll try to find it when I get home, haha Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

I got a GTS last Saturday, and I like how it kinda of feels like a cross between the yuexiao and my main the aolong. Although I use an aolong mini thanks to my child like hands, and have yet to find a full size cube that works as a main for me for that reason. I like the GTS though, I think I...

It also makes me the number 1 ranked female in Oceania for 3bld, lol. But that's pretty much the best way to be top at something... pick something really obscure that nobody does, or combine weird things. It's like me being the number one handstand opera singer or something, lol Sent from my...

Haha, thanks . I had to because I forgot to point the camera at the timer at the end for any of the solves, lol Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

It was such an easy scramble, you'll see in the video that I didn't expect it to be finished already so it could have easily been like a 3.xx, lol, but happy to have that one on record :) Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Hi everyone, long time no see again! I am the best at showing up for a few weeks and then disappearing for a few months. Sorry! I often read even if I don't get around to posting. I read through a ton of pages on this thread though to get here :) So cool to see you are all progressing heaps...

What method are you using for 2x2? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Nice one Jason, that's so cool! Congrats :) I can't wait until I can finally complete although at this rate I'll be having terrible times in about 6 different events, lol, rather than something decent in one. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

That would be heart breaking... “If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two.” Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Yeah and those were some older times of mine too, as my phone was on charge so I was using my tablet to time. I usually use my phone. After this one I got a 2:41 ao5 and 2:48 ao12, which wasn't too bad since I was still messing up every few solves and getting 3 and a half ish, haha. I just...

Oh right, haha, I didn't notice as the image was so small on my phone screen. It's this flowchart here: Ah yep, will have to update my signature! Not sure if I can on tapatalk or not... Will have a play around Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

You wouldn't believe how close I was to my first sub 2 on my 4x4... At least the number ocd in me is happy with this time [emoji14] Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
