One ultra-lucky single is reasonable, but getting three sub-6 singles while averaging above 20 seconds is extremely strong evidence of bullshitting.

It's not impossible, of course. Maybe they really average like 8 seconds and deliberately wait 15 seconds to stop the timer after finishing the solve, most of the time. There it would stand to reason that they might legitimately get some sub-6 singles. But is this even remotely plausible? Of course not.

Don't lie, kids. At least not to people who can instantly pick your lies apart.

Additionally, if you still use 'Ri' and 'Ui' to denote counterclockwise turns, your credibility is pretty much instantly shot.

I also think the solution has a few errors in it.

The scramble is literally the solution in reverse, just with an optimal T-perm

 

[Tudor Lin]

I'm sub 15 !!! After 6 months and a week I'm so happy !

That is very fast! Nice job!

 

[icarneiro]

Today: Ao12 20.61 (sub-21)
I'm so close to sub-20, I can't wait to achieve hahahaha

Ladies and gents, we got em

Lol when I averaged 23 I could barely sub 2 tperm and even though f21 was just 3 move insertions, I still think it would have taken me a second or two to recognize the next pair. I don't understand what the point in faking solves is but whatever the reason is please don't do it. It wastes your time and other people's time.

14.95 3x3 single
down from my previous pb of 16.17
i cant reconstruct but my f2l flowed really nicely (i often get f2l that flows really good,my worst stuff is on last layer)
OLL was F U R U' R' F' so it was 1 look when i normally do 2 look
i think PLL was Gc perm??? not sure though

 

[icarneiro]

For the first time, sub15 single at 3x3!

My PB was 15.93, and now i got 14.35.

14.35

I'm still in the battle of being sub20 ao12

 

[aerocube]

1:11.89 4x4 PB single
down from 1:25.95
everything about the solve was good apart from my u perm,which i took around 1 second to recog and maybe cost me sub 1:10

 

[SM cubing]

Im almost half decent at big cubes now so yay.

also i got my first sub 1:30 avg of 12 on megaminx so thats cool ig

 

[PikachuPlayz_MC]

I just learned 2x2 bld

 

[icarneiro]

I just learned 2x2 bld

Good Job!
Next step is to learn 3x3 bld, it's super rewarding, I guarantee

 

[YeaBuDDy]

Started cubing in July and got my first sub 40 with a Meilong right out the box with a ao12 .45.xxx. Magnetized it and a Little Magic and there even more incredible can't decide which one I like best.

 

[aerocube]

48.69 oh single
i recently got into oh around 24 days ago (started on the 7th) and it's been very fun doing it
perhaps i'll get better once i get sub 20 on 2h (sub-25 atm)
EDIT: 4:27.13 6x6 mo3 with a 4:16.47 single,both are PBs

 

[xyzzy]

555 ao50: 1:28.82 → 1:27.49

(with the YLM 5 + extra magnets)

Haven't done any "serious" 555 practice in a few months, so this was unexpected. Meanwhile, my megaminx times have gotten much, much worse…

 

[aerocube]

2:25.61 5x5 single
still waiting for YLM 5x5 to arrive,i have to deal with the sub-par hardware of my mf5 until then

 

[TheKravCuber]

New OH PB!

Great scramble! Had a rotation in the solve which wasn't the best... But hey, a PB is a PB

 

[icarneiro]

Finally I learned full PLL !

now I have to practice the speed and fingertricks of the Gc and Gd, still slow, around 3.5 seconds each

cool! it took me only about a week to learn full pll, but i am working on oll
