Average: 14.64 seconds
Individual Times: 13.68, 13.15, (13.03), 14.11, 13.50, 14.36, 14.52, 13.10, (18.13), 16.74, 17.09, 16.15

So close to sub 14. I had an amazing start with no lucky solves. then I popped on the 18 and the rest were crap. I was hoping for an OLL or PLL skip at the end to save it but it didn't happen.

I will get sub 14!!!!!

Petrus method FTWWWWW!!!!!
 
well the actual average isn't close but look at the times. the last 4 solves ruined the whole thing. if I kept the original pace it probably would have been like 13.9X or 14.0X. I'm gonna say it was close.

fridrich is faster...for now...
 
Any tips on getting that fast with Petrus? Or is it just a combination of move optimization and looking ahead?
 
i got one of thses today too

Average: 14.60

Fastest Time: 12.48

yeah I'd say thats about it [although, sometimes a situation can be done with more moves faster than the optimal solution, depends on execution]

EDIT: i don't use petrus :P.... often

Yes, TONS of look ahead and move optimization. and learn to pace yourself. find the perfect speed where you can look ahead but still be going decently quick. I'd be like a second faster if my physical speed for the LL was better. My PLL attack is around 50 seconds.

Quiet, mine is around 55.
 
I see similarities between Fridrich and Petrus and Windows and Mac. Most people use Windows, but there are Apple fanbois everywhere who would sacrifice a piece of their soul for its glory, and continuously insist that it is better.

and ooveehoo is like the wannabe that wants mac but he cant have it because he likes to play games. sad

s/Mac/Linux/ makes more sense to me. I know Fridrich F2L and I've used Windows, but they are just plain worse than Petrus and Linux even though they are more popular. I have valid reasons to prefer the latter, it's not "fanboyism" at all.

Fridrich : Petrus :: Windows : Linux

I'm a Mac fanboy and a Petrus fanboy. :P People only don't use Macs because they're uneducated people who assume they can't run anything. Same for Petrus? (I was one of the ones who taunted it.. D: )

Lucky for Ooveehoo there's bootcamp. (Roux?)
