2:41:01 pll parity is hard oh lol

it's actually not that bad I'm figuring out, just use the table, and only do index finger tricks. I can do it in about 12 seconds now, but I'm aiming for around 8. geez, your already faster than me, how big are your hands? From the point where my wrist meets my palm to the tip of my middle finger, my hands are 7.75 inches long aprox 20 cm

My problem with 4x4 oh is that my muscle memory simply disappears. I can't even do an edge flipping alg. But this seems fun and I do want to try.

yeah, just relearn edge flip. don't try to translate 2h mem to oh mem, it's funny how stubborn our brains are. if you have a yj mini, I would def recommend using that, I struggle with this full size mgc.

I am not sure they are kid hands so..

Ok.
Also, yeah, I do have the yj mini. It was my previous main and now my backup main.

am thinking about picking one of those up. it seems to go on sale quite often.

It's a really good cube. I like it better than the mgc. But that is just my opinion.

 

[Abram Grimsley]

I got a 2:56.04 first try for 4x4 oh and a 1:53.56 on my second try. Lol!

apparently I'm slow at this lol... were you using the mini yj?

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

my brain totally cannot do l2e one handed. arrgh

 

[Abram Grimsley]

yeah. I was using the yj mini. The small size makes it easier to turn.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

yeah, i thought it would, i wonder if oh 4x4 makes us meta at oh 3x3

 

[Abram Grimsley]

That would be amazing. Because I'm terrible at 3x3 oh.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

dug deep and did an ao5 oh 4x4. two of them were sub 3 one of which is pb. slowest of the solves are double parities. i can tell that this is a very inconsistent even. still cool that I can get sub 3 already. resulted in a 3:20.00 ao5 exactly.

So… @NebraskanSpeedsolver, and I both started learning 3bld last night. We didn’t even tell each other. it’s just some wacky coincidence. I find it pretty fun and interesting. Did some solves with my eyes open and am progressing to writing down the letters and holding the cube under the table while solving it. First attempt got all the edges right. Got the corners wrong which is weird since I know 2bld. I’m pretty sure I did the parity Alg right. But maybe I didn’t. Hope to get a success within the next decade.

I'm not quite that far into it haha

I hope you achieve your goal!
Maybe by the time you get your first 3bld success, I will have the state records for 2x2-7x7

Can’t wait for both to happen!

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Arrrgggghhhh, I keep messing up the edges some how. I can’t remember some of my setup moves sometimes So I don’t put it back the right way after I do the swap.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

Been doing some attempts writing down the
letters instead of memming them. Am yet to be successfu.

 

[1x1 wr holder!]

yay, I have progressed! just realized that I'm not allowed to do moves other than L/Lw/D/Dw. whoops
