you think that’s exciting, wait until you get your first sub 20. I felt like I was in a dream.
here’s the scramble from my most recent PB (14.15) if you want to try it and see if you can get sub 20. Scramble with white on top and green in front

Today I got my first 3bld success, along with a 3x3 pb of 12.8

 

[Rouxster]

I got my first sub 10 single today, a 9.69.
Scramble: (generated by cstimer)
B R' U' B2 D' F2 R2
B2 U2 L2 F2 U2 B
L F2 D2 B2 D' R2
Solution:
(Facing red top blue front)
L U' R' u - first block
U R U M2 U R' U2 R - back square
U' M2 U' M U2 r U r' - last pair
U2 R U' L' U R' U' L - CMLL
M2 U2 M2 U - LSE
(Btw I average around 15 seconds that's why the sb solutions are so weird)

Sub-2:20 ao50 (and sub-2:10 ao5) with the MGC6. My at-home ao50 is finally better than my comp average, lol.

After 6 month of practice, but also laziness, I finally became colour neutral. And now I'll probably practice 4x4 and also practice 3x3 without worrying about colour neutrality being harder to master and maybe get into pyra and 2x2.

I smashed my 11x11 PB by 14.5 mins, with a time of 1h25m58s.

Another big chunk off it - now 1h18m37s.

I'm only really colour neutral on 2x2, well on 1x1 too.

 

[BenChristman1]

I'm only really colour neutral on 2x2.

Dual color-neutrality helps on a lot of puzzles. Of course, you should be full CN on 2x2, pyra, and skewb, but on 3x3 it does for sure, and on any big cubes that you use Yau, you should be CN with F2C but not necessarily cross edges. being able to do white and yellow helps a lot.

After about 8 months of not learning any new ZBLL cases, I finally got around to finishing one more set (T FFLR). Actually not that big of a deal, since it'd been sitting at 8/12 for quite a while already. Should probably just finish the last ten algs so I can finally claim to know all of T ZBLL or something.

 

[Jam88]

One set of COLL learnt!

 

[DNF_Cuber]

One set of COLL learnt!

good accomplishment, I learned coll and it helped me when I would get it, but I think CP recognition does the same thing w/o any new algs

Yeah, I just figure learn it early (sub-15) so it's really solid by the time it will start really helping.

Also, just broke 40m on 8x8! : 39m38.9s! (edge parity only)

Haven't mentioned 8x8 for a while.

Tantalisingly close to 30m today, 30m7.3s, that damn pll parity spoiled it...

A year and 8 mont0hs after solving my first cube, I just got my first sub 10 ao100 !! I'm so happy, that was my "long term" goal !

 

[DNF_Cuber]

new 5x5 pb 1:52. Pretty happy to have gotten during the weekly comp. EDIT: later that day 8.70 3x3 single.

 

[MJS Cubing]

I can officially cube again, and I am welcomed back to a 3x3 PB!

I know there is major inefficiencies in my F2L. I am working on learning PLL before I learn OLL, so I use 2-Look for now. If anyone has some F2L tips, that would be great, although I would rather them be intuitive or short algorithms.

After more than 2 years the legacy is now complete.

Some time ago, I decided to take on the challenge of building a 1x1, but my quest ceded after the fact that I couldn't find nor want to buy stickers for the cubie, originally a surprising 6-sided dice. But after replacing the thin, sticky, colorful material from a 3x3 with calendar ones, hope was found.

I applied some form of transparent and strong liquid onto the cubie, and placed some center stickers on top, completing this almost impossible journey.

But a new challenge has arisen: solving it.
