Got some nice sub 1:30 solves with Yau. But the counting sup 1:40s sucks.

[Vinny]

Any edge pairing will get you fast times. 2 pairing is simple so I do it too.

Can't wait for my new Dayan so I have motivation to practice. My xcube is getting worse and worse lately. Perhaps on the Dayan I'll not have sup20 3x3x3 phase (not including parity) .

Well I do one edge at a time so I could definitely use a better method.

 

[RyanReese09]

Well I do one edge at a time so I could definitely use a better method.

Definitely. 1 pairing is horribly slow.

58.91, 57.28, 52.59, 1:06.94, 57.57, 56.27, 1:10.35, 58.66, 53.13, (1:11.83), 1:00.37, (48.14)

Comment: 48.14 single! Awwww yeah. Too bad about the counting 1:10 and 1:06, could've been much faster.

Round 11: LouisCormier - 1:03.97

Statistics for 05-04-2011 19:45:31

Average: 1:03.97

Best Time: 53.62
Worst Time: 1:18.67
Individual Times:
1:04.00, 1:13.91, 1:01.20, (53.62), 1:02.47, 59.08, 1:07.25, 1:06.57, 1:04.92, 57.83, 1:02.50, (1:18.67)

Very good average but the last solve was bad.

 

[James Ludlow]

James Ludlow : Round 11

1.04.05 (1.01.05) (DNF) 1.14.22 1.15.86 1.10.92 1.14.00 1.15.03 1.11.33 1.15.50 1.12.28 1.17.35 = 1.13.05

Comment - Fantastic start, then a huge explosion on 3rd. Cube just didn't feel the same after a 1/4 rebuild.

 

[AvGalen]

Seems like we are practising too much James. We are breaking our puzzles from wear and tear

Comment: Done on the "Rubiks-like brick" as well. Started really bad, safed the average at the end. Best Average 3/5: 1:11.29 (1:27.80 1:04.66 1:10.06 1:13.30 1:10.52)

Comment: I threw the Maru in the trash and now use a very old Rubiks-like "brick". Not too bad though. Best Average 3/5: 1:14.11 (1:15.80 1:13.36 1:22.15 1:07.22 1:13.18)

You what? I know the Maru isn't the best cube, but it certainly didn't need to be thrown in the trash...

TiLiMayor - Ronda Once
Average: 1:21.71
Standard Deviation: 4.76
Best Time: 1:11.84
Worst Time: DNF
Individual Times:
1:29.06, 1:29.58, 1:17.72, 1:24.34, 1:13.00, 1:22.08, 1:21.02, (DNF), 1:25.52, 1:15.84, (1:11.84), 1:18.96

Changed my MiniQJ, now using shengshou, and what a massive pop I got, instant dnf; Pretty good average, because of the cube I guess, haven't made an 4x4 avg in a while.

 

[APdRF]

Average of 12: 1:45.45 [SD=9.16]
108.64, (87.49), (124.52), 97.49, 104.98, 119.05, 98.94, 102.60, 107.19, 107.39, 103.84, 104.35.

Pretty bad in some solves...

 

[AvGalen]

You what? I know the Maru isn't the best cube, but it certainly didn't need to be thrown in the trash...

Once a Maru starts locking and misaligning there is no way to save it. I cube for pleasure and when a cube continues to give me pain I end it. FATALITY!

(also, I am travelling for 2 years and carrying all my things with me permanently so I am not going to carry around something unwanted for another year)

 

[emolover]

I want to murder my Dayan+Mf8

1:27.67

1:34.40, 1:29.63, 1:17.95, 1:24.92, 1:38.58, 1:21.36, 1:32.64, 1:28.51, 1:18.00, 1:10.86, 1:30.72, DNF1:19.87(I hate this cube)

How on earth does masterofthebass use this cube?!?!?!?! It pops so much that its hard to even get through an average of 12. I had 4 cubesplosions when scrambling and at the end I wanted to throw my cube against the wall.

Is there any way to fix this?
