I toatlly understand it's just that my mom is one of 3 people in charge of a couple hundred teens in our church and many times has to be at meetings and my dad has no idea if he will be working ti'll the day before (he works in entertainment mainly loading in and out shows and conventions at Bartel hall and the PAC. As well as being in charge of all the stage hands at starlight.) I almost got a ride from a friend (same person that is going to take me to the comp) but she had a genealogy conference that morning. If it is possible to move it forward a few hours I think i would be able to come. Plus it sounds like i would be WAY out of your way (I live in south KC near grand view).

Sorry about the time, and you do live inconveniently too far away. Four ppl already agreed to the 10AM slot, so I can't really change that. :(

I am just saying your 3x3 hasn't improved by more than a second in the last month and a half and I have gained 20 seconds or so...

The proof is in the facts my friend.

:P

Lol, my 3x3 has actually probably gotten worse in the last month because I've only done about 50 actual 3x3 solves, the rest have been 4x4-6x6. I could do an ao100 a day for a week and I'd still probably only be a couple tenths of a second faster.
 
I just got a full OLL skip sitting at work doing a slow solve for a coworker. I was showing them how to solve the cube and suddenly at the end of F2L... BOOM DONE! I was so pissed.

No, IDK what he is on the rankings, but Sebastien Weyer has the single and average record. Also, his name is Jacob Hutnyk. He is ridiculously fast at 4x4 though.

Pffft. He would be amazed by my skills at sitting there for 15 seconds with an edge pair in front of me trying to figure out how to put them together.

That's ok. Once (if) you learn Yau for 4x4 and do 323 edge pairing it flies because all of the pieces are in the top layer. It's hard to explain but it makes edge pairing so much easier.
 
I never learned redux actually I just went straight to yau+3-2-3. It really is that much better and not very much harder. I would recommend the switch to any one whether they have ever solved the 4x4 or not.

That's really cool! I figured that everyone just learned it after reduction. I just learned basic one pair at a time reduction until I averaged about 3:00 then went to Yau one pair at a time then went to Yau and 323. Do you use Yau5 for 5x5 since you never really learned reduction?
 
Well I don't have my 5x5 yet (Thanks for buying one for me psypher!) But when I was borrowing the friends I solved it with yau5 (had to look up l2e algs... Still need to memorize them) But I only had the 5x5 for 4 days
 
I have been putting stickers on my 7x7 for like three nights now haha. It has probably taken about 3 hours total. Totally worth it but man does it take a while. Now I have to learn how to lube it since it is tensioned so tightly that you cannot actually separate the cubies from each other.
 
Well since no one else ever wants to talk in here. I broke my PB 3x3 and now it is 28.87. That is still significantly out of my reach on most solves with my overall average coming in right aroudn 43 seconds. This is however a huge improvement over when I started and was averaging about 65.

Most of my success is attributable to Rocky for being awesome and listening to me babel on about cubing all day.

I have ordered two of the new Hualong cubes and hopefully they will be here in a week or so. Rocky and I were thinking of getting together around then to hang out and break them in. Anyone else is welcome to tag along if you want. Nothing super official just gonna sit at a cafe or something and do some solves. Also Rocky will get bored and fall asleep each time I try to solve a cube since it takes me 5 times as long as it takes him so having someone else there for him to talk to would not be bad.

lol I'd love to try the huanlong but have to get a ride. When would it be?
 
It isn't really scheduled yet. Gotta wait until I get it and then I can let you guys know when it comes and then we can schedule something probably just go to some place that has a table we can sit at and have a drink while we flip the cube about haha.
