skewb

ao50: 13.x → 10.559
ao100: none → 11.691

I used to think skewb was dumb, then I realised it was Sarah's beginners method that I disliked. Might try to grind out a sub-10 ao100 some day.

I was practicing some 2x 2 and i got a crazy lucky scramble that was esily one looked.not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here the recon:

Scramble: F R U2 R2 F2 U2 R2 U' R'

Inspection: x'

First layer: R U' R' L' U L

CLL: *drop*

Celebration: stare and then freak out

Time: 0.329

Holy moly i think i set a UWR

Was it on camera?

Edit: 2x2 single is not recognized as a UWR according to the wiki.

 

[SM cubing]

I wish

Was it on camera?

[joshsailscga]

Holy moly i think i set a UWR

18 tps on an RUL alg sounds pretty legit...
In all seriousness though, 2x2 UWR single is not really a thing. I can promise you there are a decent number of people who have a "single" better than this but haven't reported it because they understand it isn't necessarily an accomplishment.
Not meaning to be a debbie downer, but it just turns out this isn't really something that anyone other than you is going to be excited about.

Nice B!

Broke many 3x3 PB's today:
Ao5: 10.808
Ao12: 11.182
Ao50: 12.189
Ao100: 12.692
Ao250: 12.857

Also, I got a 10.889 Ao5 as the first five solves of the day. Both that and the 10.808 are my first sub 11 ao5's.

E: did some more solves and brought ao100 down to 12.522 and 250 down to 12.839.

Solved my first 4x4x4 yesterday. Took me 3 hours, but I didn't look up any algorithms except dedge party.

Solved it again today in 40 minutes and 80 minutes. Roughly. Parity sucks though!

I'm right there with you, my PB is 10.08... So close!

 

[Filipe Teixeira]

I have two sub10 and two sub9 but none on camera, only two 10ish solves T_T

My advice to you is, film yourself every session from now on. Then delete the sessions you don't care. But when a sub10 pop out you'll want it recorded.

Got my first Skewb, Pyraminx and 4x4x4 for Christmas. Never played with any of them before.
PB Skewb: 11,86 (Lucky solve, usually around 20-25.)
PB Pyraminx: 54,17 (I'm finding this one pretty hard to wrap my brain around.)
4x4x4: 8:40,55 (Yes, 8 minutes, down from 3+ hours on my first attempt and down from 1 hour yesterday.)
