Round 84 — Sub 1:30

Average: 1:44.45

1:38.97, 1:42.77, 1:45.79, 1:47.22, (1:30.37), (1:57.73), 1:42.93, 1:44.81, 1:44.79, 1:42.72, 1:43.53, 1:50.95

Bad finish. I had a great single in there, but I really need to get all my solves to be sub-1:45...
 
Round 84:

New PB every solve lol (just recently got a 4x4x4, figured I would jump right into the thread despite my times not even being close :))

Btw how can you lube a 4x4x4 (or take it apart for that matter), it seems like the edge pieces and stuck to the inner pieces and need to somehow come out together... Also is there any way to prevent like minor popping (pieces often come like "dislodged" and makes it really hard to turn, so often just apply some pressure and they pop back in (my cube never like explodes into many pieces). Btw it is a rubik's brand...

The most important tip: DON'T TAKE IT APART!!! If you do it's very likely to brake.

Instead get a lube that you can put in the holes between the cubies (CRC, Jig-a-loo, Lubix and others). Other then that, i would recommend you to get a new cube, Rubik's 4x4x4 is BAD.

If I can, I'd like to set a custom goal...I'd like to do Race to Sub-50...
