One of the scrambles had a really easy x-cross, can't remember which one. Phew, +2 almost messed up everything.

13x13x13 cube in 25:45.244 I'm on a roll - I think the previous record was about 33.5 minutes, with a mouse sim of course, and unless I'm mistaken, this was also the largest cube I've ever held the record on (so if I keep going I'll be breaking new ground for me). I think I'll keep going up one cube at a time (slowly, since they take a while each) until I get to 20x20x20. I really don't wanna solve the 20x20x20 again without being pretty sure of getting the UWR on it, but I DO want to solve it again. It's been a while (more than four years!!!!!) since my last solve.

Holy ****, four years. That kind of blows my mind.

Anyway, some little details on this solve: 4401 moves @ 2.85 tps. And I used Chrome for this attempt (same as for 12x12x12) since it's more stable and faster, even though I normally use Firefox for general browsing stuff.

Because you can get through the centers of all cubes up to 11x11x11 without changing your handshift

Woah, what? Can you explain this one for me, please? Handshifts are the main reason I haven't practiced bigcube sims, because I dislike handshifts so much

 

[qqwref]

Woah, what? Can you explain this one for me, please? Handshifts are the main reason I haven't practiced bigcube sims, because I dislike handshifts so much

So basically, the way I do centers, my right and left hands are shifted in some amount, and nothing else is (so U, F, B, D are always outer layer turns). Now, to solve the centers, you have to be able to turn every layer. So out of your 4 shifted slices (R, r, L, and l) you have to cover all of the layers in the puzzle. 4x4 and 5x5 have 2 layers; 6x6 and 7x7 have 3; 8x8 and 9x9 have 4; 10x10 and 11x11 have 5; and so on. The 10x10 and 11x11 are at the very limit of no-handshifting because you can use something like U/F/B/D=1, R=2, r=3, L=4, l=5. Anything bigger than that and you have to change your handshift during the centers, because there aren't enough customizable slices to be able to handle the 6+ different slices in the puzzle.

First ever sub-10!

...It was a lucky solve, though, with an extremely easy first block (I used Roux)... R2 U' B2 F R B' L2 B R B2 R' F U L2 F R B2 U F2 U F U2 F' D' U
My non-lucky personal best is 10.08 seconds (D' F D' B F D L B2 U' L2 U' L2 U' D' L' F2 R2 L D' R2 D R' B2 F2 U'), so I've yet to get a "proper" sub-10, but still... I'm quite happy finally having a sub-10 under my belt. :3

14x14x14 sim in 31:07.131 (5136 moves at 2.75 tps)

Previous record was 46:39 afaik (by Richard Carr). This is my first time solving this particular cube, keyboard sim or not. Funny enough, he used only 2528 moves; I do tend to waste a lot of moves looking for pieces though, and I don't think he did that. There is still plenty of room for improvement, although I don't plan on doing a lot of solves on this. Right now I'm just working through all the cubes from 12 through 20

Was worried you were talking about sq1

Amazingly, despite my V5 being 1.5 years old, it is still not broken in. I suppose you'll be able to see this at the comp. I might borrow someone else's and see if I can do better, considering I average ~1:20 for reduction (including parity) but ~1:40 for the entire solve.

Please record your 15x15x15 solve which you will do very soon.
Edit: Also do you think that sub 1 hour 20x20 is possible?

Edit: Also do you think that sub 1 hour 20x20 is possible?

It should be humanly possible, but I don't think I will do it this time around.

Should the 15x15x15 be sped up? How much?
