Bumping this thread because I have the same issue with my (stickerless) QiYi Square-1: the bottom layer is much faster than the top layer. I tried putting different weight lubes on the layers but that only makes a small difference. And when I swap the layers (i.e. do /(6,6)/) the bottom is still...

Lucas Etter got a 6.24 average http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=4108&cat=1&rnd=1

Fun fact - the last world record was set 43 days ago on January 19. This is the longest world record drought since December 2014 - February 2015 when there were no world records for 70 days.

36.80 (8/6') - L' F2 L2 D2 U2 L F2 R D2 F2 R B2 F' D B2 U' L U' R2 B' Rw2 [13.73 / 23.07] splits First sub-40 since beginning to learn edge commutators! I'm about 1/4 of the way through right now.

Probably not super helpful, but here's an easy continuation you could do that gives a PLL skip (R2 D' R D R2 D' R D) - F2L (U R U' R U R2 U' R2) - OLL + PLL skip I'm in the same boat. Finding optimal or at least really good insertions for 5C takes me 20-25 minutes. Though I'm by no means a top...

Max got a 6.13 average this weekend as well https://m.cubecomps.com/competitions/3866/events/1/rounds/2/results

Feliks just got a 5.91 average http://cubecomps.com/live.php?cid=3640 6.07, 5.64, (5.24), 6.02, (8.41) Needed a 5.73 on the final solve for WR

Thanks, that helps

I just began learning 3-style for edges, and I have a question about parity. For corners my buffer is UBL and I use setups to a Y-perm to solve parity. This swaps the UB and UL edges. I execute edges first though, so I need to set these two edges up to be swapped. From what I understand, the two...

I'll admit it is a bit strange he is the only one who got a good time on the scramble, but it seems plausible at least. If it wasn't an obvious XXcross, the lower-caliber competitors may not have recognized it. And the only other sub-8 cubers there were Antoine and Kaijun. Kaijun uses Roux. And...

That's crazy! Cool stat - proportionally speaking, this is the second biggest drop in the 3x3 single WR in the WCA era. Erik's 7.08 is first, at 81.2% of the previous record of 8.72. Though Yusheng Du's 3.47 isn't far behind at 82.2% of 4.22.

It was @ChrisCuber123 actually, turns out it was a prank though...

Maybe I worded that poorly... I'm not saying they wouldn't deserve it. I just think it would make the FMC single WR meaningless, even more so than the 2x2 WR single already is. If someone is truly the best in the world at something they should have a reasonable chance at setting the world...

Wow... Too bad no one found that, but it's probably for the better. If the FMC world record were to drop to 14 then <0.1% of scrambles would even had a shot at tying it. We'd have to seriously reconsider the way we define the world record single in the event, or else it'd become essentially...

Got my first sub-14 average of 5 on 3x3 today at 13.90, then later improved again with this 13.65 average: 1. 13.09 F U2 F2 D2 F' D2 R2 D2 R2 B D2 L B' D' F' L U L' D R B' 2. 14.32 B2 U' F' B' L' B2 U2 L' F2 R2 U2 B' U2 F2 R2 F R2 F' D2 L 3. (12.97) D2 L2 U F2 U' R2 U F2 U B2 U R D2 U F...

Anyone know what the UWRs for Mo3 and Ao12 in FMC are? I can’t find them on the speedsolving wiki.

Taking into account how the last pair cancels with the OLL, that’s a 23 move solution. Speed FMC much!
