Just got my first ever sub 10 second solve while competing in Mike Hughey's weekly competition!!!

It was a 9.84, full step i think or I got a pll skip. I will try to do reconstruction if I can below!

Scramble: B' R2 L B2 L D' B U' R L2 F B L2 U2 F L2 D2 B

Spoiler: Solution:

Inspection: I am not good at typing this out with x y and z moves. Just do white bottom green front

X-Cross: F2 U' R' F' L U' L' B L y' (red side front) L' U L D'

Pair1: U' R U2 R' U R U' R'
Pair2: y (green front) U R U R' U' d' R U R'
Pair3: L' U L U L' U' L U2 L' U' L

OLL: f R U R' U' f' >> U' R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R

PLL: U' R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R' U

That is the third personal record I have broken since coming back to cubing. SO happy to be back!!

EDIT: This session also beat my personal best avg5 but it wasn't as crazy of a difference. Old avg5 was 13.87 and this one was 13.83 lol

I just got my second sub-10 solve 5 day later! My first sub-10 was a 9.26 (5/14/20) and the one I got today was 9.74. Not a PR, but I'm really happy with it.

 

[CuberStache]

Not a PR

PR = best in a competition
PB = overall best

 

[rubik2005]

PR = best in a competition
PB = overall best

Ah, thank you!

Not speed related but I got my Axis cube solved finally. I did it intuitively, last layer was an absolute pain and I don’t think I’ll be scrambling this one anytime soon...most certainty The most difficult 3x3 shape mod I’ve tried.

Estimated time is 6-8hours over the last 4.5 weeks. I could hardly play with it for longer than 15mins at first it was so frustrating and hard to even get the layers aligned properly. Success!

ETA: I was misidentifying the centers for a few weeks haha. I didn’t clearly understand that there were multiple shapes of both corners and edges. Once that was figured it F2L went smoothly but getting orientation fixed in LL was brutal. I digress...

For the past 5 6x6 solves they've all been PBs. I've done less than 20 solves on cstimer so I'm just at that easy early stage but still lol.

That is a fun stage for sure, just keep smashing those records!

I just spent about two hours on my new speed cube and took about 15 seconds off my average

Was your average 2 hours and 15 seconds?

 

[ForouxmUser]

What is this method? It looks kind of like PCMS

That's just roux with non-matching centers and a cmll skip.

 

[CLL Smooth]

3x3 Pb Ao100: 14.851

 

[xyzzy]

A nice and round 444 PB single. Pretty much skipped half-centres, had nice F2L pairs, 9-move COLL then opposite parity.

edit: Also, ao100 46.317 → 46.018, ao200 47.243 → 47.148. Seems like every time I mess around with my Wuque's setup I get new PBs (removed the stacked magnets on the outer layers, partially cleaned and relubed).

 

[PikachuPlayz_MC]

Got a 15 second cn solve

 

[Legomanz]

1.09 2x2 ao25, stackmat PB by like 0.05 which is insane for me. Solves 14 - 25 make a 1.01 ao12 which is also PB. I might make reconstructions soon.
Edit: recons are posted in the reconstruction thread

First ever sub 20 ao12 on 3x3!

 

[Ghaleon]

This is to announce I can finally solve the Rubik's Cube using the Fridrich method without looking at the instructions. It took me 8 months: one month for F2L and 7 months for 4-look last layer.

Yes, I am a very slow learner. I heard some people say they learned F2L in a day and the last layer in a month. I am still vey happy and proud. I set a very difficult and time consuming goal for myself and could finally do it after hard work and perseverance.

I still have to do drills and practice, and now at least I don't have to look at the guide on my iPhone while I do solves. People won't be able to say that I'm cheating.

 

[GenTheThief]

Finally improved on my OH mo3.
Still not sub-12 though, so that's a little frustrating.

12.04 -> 12.02

13.12, 11.04, 11.90, 15.22, 13.74

The ao5 is very good (12.9) but my PB is also 12.04 so I didn't beat that.

 

[Nuuk cuber]

Bois I've done it. I'm color neutral in Megaminx.

 

[Mike3451]

I just got my first sub 18 ao5!




EDIT: Also just my first sub 19 ao12!

 

[ProStar]

Bois I've done it. I've got a sub-10 solve.

 

[fun at the joy]

Bois I've done it. I've got a sub-10 solve.

any details?
