i made the post with the least visible words.

That's hardly an accomplishment. Someone could beat that by making one with the least visible and the least invisible words.

I've done one solve today and it was a PB - 10.77. Y-OLL + PLL skip with no AUF.

 

[Siraj A.]

Square-1 average of 12: 37.98
Times: 37.93, 34.70, 38.35, (57.91), 40.61, 49.39, 32.42, 41.13, 39.13, (24.47), 39.11, 27.07

Yay! 24.47 is a new record as well as the average.

 

[jcuber]

I have a few accomplishments to announce today.

I beat my 7x7 single and average PB by about 40 seconds each (6:14 single, 6:37 average) and in the weekly comp!

I got a PB 5x5 single, PB by about 7 seconds (1:57) and my first sub-2!

I got a PB 4x4 single just now, 1:00.72. It would have been sub-1 without parity.

None of the solves were lucky or easy (except the 5x5 single, which was easy edges, but none completed).

 

[Gparker]

ive had a a magical cubing session with scott and emmerson. i was getting sub 15s like crazy and an 11.27(?) solve. i was freaking out so bad lol

AVERAGE = 14.81



I can now say that it is my F2L which needs work. All I did was practice F2L with metronome before this

 

[Novriil]

OMG! It was almost a PB!!! 31.80 with HORRIBLE lock-up! The cross was 3 move, F2L was pair-turn in, algorithm, pair-turn-i and another pair-turn-in! OLL skip and PLL was 2-look... before edge PLL I got such a lock up The time wouldn't been like 26 or so. But the best time in this week... still a good time other times were both 48 sec

E: YAYYAYAYAYYAYAYA!!! I just made a PB single! I think it's going to be a PB of RA of 12 too... !!! SO GOOD!

EE: OMG!!! I made non-lucky single PB just!! 27.95!! that's like more than a second faster!!

EEE: and like I hoped a new average PB too. 35.69

EEEE: haha PLL skip and the time wouldn't been like 26 or so but I made OLL very slow and tried to look-ahead for PLL. Then when PLL was a skip I freaked and watched the cube like a second or so just amazed and then pushed the spacebar

Yes! First sub-20 OH single. Very lucky, but this is a barrier I didn't think I could pass no matter the solve. (I average low 30s)

U' R2 F2 L D' B2 L' F L B2 L U2 R' B D R D' L U' L U R F' U2 B' (cross on bottom)

I can't figure out my solution, but it involved a very nice F2L and a PLL skip.

very nice, i did y R F R2 u2, inserted the obvious CE pair, BR pair 2gen and U2, then inserted the other pair. y' to do edge control for last pair and anti sune, u perm.

 

[Ryane]

Woo, another PB 10 of 12.
Seems every other average I do breaks my record at the moment.
Hopefully sub 35 soon.

And I seem to be getting about 1 sub-30 every 10-15 tries or so. Non-lucky. This means i'm clooooose to my primary goal. I just wanna get to the stage where i'm mostly sub-30. Like at the moment i'm mostly sub-40.

It won't take you long. It only took me about a week, maybe less, from that point.

Not that an average of 5 means much for 2x2, I think I had two sunes and an FRUR'U'F'

Edit: Just rolled into a 4.06 0_0

 

[Sa967St]

off topic accomplishment:

I finally beat this stupid game

[mcciff2112]

4x4 single - 1:52 (finally sub-2!!)

4x4 average of 5 - 2:04.xx

 

[mrbiggs]

hmm I couldn't find a PLL skip but here's an OLL skip

That's really neat.

I'm convinced at this point that I either made an execution mistake that turned out extremely lucky, or messed up the scramble somehow.
