[CUBER1265]

I hold the Dutch national record for Fewest Moves and Multiple Blind.
I have won 2 official events: Magic at the Italian Open 2007 and 2x2x2 at the Lyon Open 2007.
I am the number 4 on the list of "most countries". (The other 3 are all from the "Bene"-Lux and were there at Worlds2003. I started in 2006)
And I am the fastest "beginner" that I know. (Still using keyhole + 4 look last layer)

I would like to believe you.....................but I don't

Whats your beginner time?

Wow, that's faster than my OH PB! (Although I don't practice OH that much)

I think the reason is that you use a valk elite. That's like turning a rock for OH
(but thanks)

Ao500 just dropped below 25seconds! Happy with my progress lately!

True lol
I use weak springs and weak magnets though, so it's not THAT bad

I got my first sub 50 Ao5!

 

[rubik2005]

12.61 Mo3 and 13.32 Ao5 3x3 PB!

 

[gruuby]

4x4 PB single 47.90

 

[J41]

3x3 single PB of 22.57. Still putting off learning CFOP.

 

[LukasCubes]

1st sub-15 Ao5 of course I used ZB but no recons tho.

 

[kubesolver]

After a little less than 2.5 years of speed cubing
at the age of 39
I got my first sub-10 single!

U2 B2 U2 R D2 R B2 D2 L U2 L2 D' L' B' D' F2 L' B L2 F
// Missed the obvious green cross and went for orange.

z' y'
R' L' U' L2 U F' L' // My favorite kind of x-cross. I inserted a 1st pair and then finished a cross with cancellation.
U' R U' R' y' U2 R' U' R // easy 2nd pair
L U' L' U2 L U' L' // 3rd pair. my work on deducing hidden pieces paid off. Not long ago I would have to rotate to be sure that it's my edge in the BL. The fact that all last layer edges were oriented and visible also helped with that.
R U' R' U R U R' // 4th pair. Another edge in the back (BU) and similarly easy to deduce.
// OLL. lucky me
U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' // Jb
U' U' U' // auufff... realizing it's a good time and panicking...
//finished just in time for sub-10!

9.95
44 htm (or 46 if counting each U' of AUF separately)

Spoiler: Thank you :)

I know it's not a big deal for anyone else than me but nevertheless it's a big deal for me.
I would like to thank
my mom, my wife, my daughter,
authors whose materials helped me the most (FaZ & cubeskills, )
people who helped me with directed advice (ottozing, @Aerma)
community members who gave me support and advice (@Llewelys , @PapaSmurf, .... )

Woah, well done! You don't have to be young to be fast everyone!

 

[Agam Chawla]

Congrats on the sub 10 imagine you had just missed it and would have been so angry
another fact during your orange cross solution there is a point where the whole green cross is solved
Now I also have made a reconstruction of the solve because it was a great scramble and had many solutions,
This solution would be best for Tymon I guess

Scramble- U2 B2 U2 R D2 R B2 D2 L U2 L2 D' L' B' D' F2 L' B L2 F
Cross- z' y' R' U2 R' F R(solves cross and with 2 F2l Edges for pseudo slot)
F2L CRISIS - 1] y' U L' U L( to insert the yellow blue edge and to orient the white green orange corner and to take out yellow green orange corner)
2] D2 R U' R' (insert yellow green corner in its spot)
3] D U2 R U' R' D( insert white green corner in its spot)
4] U' R U R'( insert the white blue corner to form a multi slot situation)
5] D U' F' U L' U L U2 F u'( solve the white blue edge and yellow blue corner as a pseudo pair, use the F'2gen'F method to avoid rotation and to orient edges)
COLL - R'U'RU'R'U2R RUR'URU2R' ( back sune into sune)
PLL - R2URUR'U'R'U'R'UR'U' (some U perm)

Looks pretty complex but is pretty intuitive
