And speaking of OLL's, I just leanred my last two! Finally, Those damn OLL's will never be a problem again (except changing my crappy algorithms). Bye bye OLL, hello MGLS!

 

[Dcuber]

Finally all plls sub 3!

New OH non-lucky personal best, 30.83!

EDIT: Average of 55: 43.73.

New best average of 12: 40.41 seconds
Individual Times: 35.28, (28.80), 44.55, 36.90, 39.46, 42.83, 45.16, (46.88), 41.68, 40.30, 41.16, 36.81

28.8 was lucky, of course, almost a new PB...

 

[MiloD]

2:50.90 5x5 single...3:02.51 average of 5

basically I've been tearing through 5x5 since early December and it is the coolest of all puzzles.

 

[Karthik]

Sub 20! After so long!
I was hovering around 20-22 for about 2 months now.
Average: 19.82
No lucky solves.
Fastest: 16.82
Slowest: 23.84

 

[MiloD]

congratulations. there should some type of medal or pin you get for getting sub 20

oh yeah....and 3:02.99 BLD

timed with itunes so I don't have actual .xx

 

[Dene]

congratulations. there should some type of medal or pin you get for getting sub 20

I totally agree, it is such a breakthrough!

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

So I changed my style a bit, getting I think my second best average (fastest with less than 2 lucky cases, but this one had none):

12.86, 13.93, (10.08), 12.02, 14.30, 11.33, (14.44), 12.78, 13.53, 11.75, 13.96, 12.44 => 12.89 (SD: 1.27)

Hopefully I can do this kind of stuff in competition.

 

[malcolm]

Sub 19! and nearly 18! with a 18.03. Very lucky though, PLL and one pair skipped, my 19.67 non lucky was better..

 

[Lofty]

sub 18 w00t!
17.61! for both hands of course.
I had a few sub 15's in there one lucky one not. About 1 second faster than the last I took an average and its only getting faster lol. maybe sub 15 in a week or two

 

[Kenneth]

3x3x3 OH 3(5) average

59.22 (54.27) (1:35.73) 1:05.19 57.98 => 1:00.78

F2L-VH-COLL (2 times I used ZB LL in this average)

So close to sub 60 Well, I'm pleased anyway and I hope I can do this good in Helsinki (I'm normaly around 70 seconds) .

Lol, all that OH cubing is really paying off for you. If you focussed on 2H for like a month you would probably be sub14

 

[slncuber21]

well, i am hopefully getting my pyraminx soon from meffterts so i will start on that soon. also today i think i am getting better at OLL and PLL but i still need to memorize more OLLs

i think i will be able to get sub 50 soon!!! if i keep practicing

oh and i am able to go to the competition in Wisconsin (in the spring time) im so excited!!!

 

[malcolm]

sub 40 OH with a 36.xx PLL skip
and a 2:05 BLD =) nearly sub-2..

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

My first sub-20 average!(Also sub-19?!) All solves non lucky. I usually average 20.50 - 22.00. I did like 20 PLL time attacks throughout the day beforehand, maybe that helped?

[slncuber21]

yay! i learned a new algorithm and need to learn only one or two more to finish learning them! and then i just need to get faster at keyhole F2L and i will be sub 50, im so excited

 

[Speedy McFastfast]

I got a 4:35 solve with Miniminx the other night. I finally got that stupid thing tuned up, but only after sacrificing my Chinese minx in order to do so.

Oh, and I didn't kill myself on this snowboarding trip this weekend. I guess that counts as good, right?

 

[Kenneth]

Snake:

(6.11) 4.90 4.76 5.78 5.12 5.61 5.12 5.61 5.64 (4.37) 6.03 4.81 => 5.34

As a comparsion, for the average above I used my modified super snake, for this 3(5) I used a original super stiff not used at all:

11.96 (12.04) 8.96 (7.89) 9.52 => 10.15

I optimized my OH PLL's. I did a OH PLL time attack and it was 2:46.xx. I still suck compared to some other people, but I'm getting better. I also attempted my first multi bld a couple days ago. Did 2 cubes. The result was 1/2 in about 20 minutes. The cool thing was, though, I had a POP on the cube I got right!!! I was doing a T perm to fix the parity, I POPPED, put it back in what I thought was the right way, took like a minute to figure out where I had left off in the T perm, and continued. I was so surprised I got that one right! The other cube was off by 3 edges. I am learning a letter pair system to help my memo. (which took about 13-15 minutes I think) I will do another attempt after I finish learning it.

 

[slncuber21]

yay i got sub 40 actually!!! 36.63, it was amazing, it wasnt lucky tho.... weird........
