[rachmaninovian]

yay! new 5x5 pb : 2:06.53
centres last ftw! reduction is boring =P

 

[Garmon]

OH sub 1 minute for first time!

 

[nitrocan]

YES! My first non-lucky sub20 average (actually my second ever sub20 average ) of 5!
Times: 19.61 (18.09) 19.16 21.15 (22.63) = 19.97
The last one was a +2, without that it would be 19.80. Oh well, still sub20

4x4 times!

the 1:13 was a sweet solve, with double parity???

1:06 was a pb

 

[Winston]

Finally got round to taking a 3x3x3 average (10 of 12) solves today, as I haven't been keeping track of progress of late

Average: 22.54
Best time: 19.88
Worst time: 26.13
Individual times:
1) 21.47
2) (19.88)
3) 23.84
4) 24.56
5) 22.30
6) (26.13)
7) 24.47
8) 21.90
9) 22.09
10) 20.00
11) 22.02
12) 22.77

Well this average isn't spectacular at all, but it's an improvement for me anyway. Hope to sub-20 soon, I'll attempt to learn full Fridrich now that my examinations are over. Sorry about not including the scrambles, I didn't use a generator, but made sure the scrambles were thorough enough though

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Scramble: B U B2 D' L2 U2 F L2 R' B U B2 D R' F U2 F' B' U' D2 F' D' U' R2 U2
Solution: U L F L2 B' U2 L' F L2 D2 F D R D' L2 D R' D2 R2 D L' D' R2 D2 F D' F2 L (28HTM, 50 minutes)

Kinda rusty, should've been more like 15 minutes.

U L F L2 B' U2 / L' F L2 D2 (L premove)
Psuedo-F2L minus a pair.

(L L') F L D F D' F2 L
Edges phase, nothing more (plus psuedo-fix). This leaves us with my standard 5 corner finish. Luckily there were no corners unoriented in place on my first try. The skeleton at this point:

U L F L2 B' U2 L' F : L2 D2 F L . D F D' F2 L

. = [L,[D':R2]] (2 moves)
: = [[D:R], L2] (3 moves)





Edit: 24 move FMC! (22STM!)

L' B L2 R B U' D' L' B2 D R2 U2 F2 U2 B2 R L' U' B' R' L U' F' U' F2

This was first a speedsolve scramble, then later FMC'd, so it doesn't count. But the speedsolve does for personal best: 8.21 with Petrus. Because Petrus is better than Fridrich anyway.

L U2 D R' U' R D' R' U R' U' F' L2 R' F R F' U F' L' R U2 L R' F' U

L U2 R2 U' F' L2 R' F R F' U' (U' premove), 11 move psuedo F2L!
U2 F' M F2 M' F' U (silly edge-solving algorithm, since it cancels with the previous part a bit)

This is a 17-move skeleton, but I couldn't find an insertion that cancelled more than one move, leaving me with:

L U2 . R2 U' F' L2 R' F R F' U F' L' R U2 L R' F' U
. = [D, R' U' R]

L U2 D R' U' R D' R' U R' U' F' L2 R' F R F' U F' L' R U2 L R' F' U (24HTM, 22STM)

Getting better, maybe i should learn some fingertricks now

[FU]

beat my PB ave twice today... (it was 13.41)

first with a 13.18 RA of something like 20 solves, then a 12.95 non RA sub-13!

Give me back my cube

 

[AvGalen]

Sigh. Any tips for speedcubing for the 5x5x5? i avg 25mins LOL. no kidding.

Tip 1: We have an how to section
Tip 2: You can go there
Tip 3: There are 5x5x5 tutorials in text and video on there

 

[Rubixcubematt]

i just got a new lucky pb it was a pll skip 13.70 secs it was. woah, im so glad that my new lucky pb is sub 14 im still tryin to get consistent sub 20 tho

 

[FU]

Give me back my cube

was using my C glow in the dark, yours became kinda loose/poppy so Im using it for OH

 

[ajmorgan25]

Wow...just got a 15.09. My best before this was an 18s.

U2 F U2 F2 B2 U' L2 B2 U2 B U D F2 U2 L2 F2 B' L2 F U2 B' D' F2 B D

 

[hawkmp4]

I...
have taken a break from cubing. I have not laid a finger on a puzzle today. I'm going to do this for a week.

 

[ajmorgan25]

I...

Yeah...I haven't really taken a "break," but I haven't been cubing as much as before. I'm in college now and my dorm is really cold. So cold that my fingers are stiff and I don't want to cube. But I just found out how to turn my A/C off today, so I think I'm back in business. Plus I got a 15s solve, which is good motivation and my first competition next week!

Go glow in the dark C!!! I use it for OH though

 

[Leviticus]

A few dodgy times that i need to eradicate, but apart from them it's a pretty good average. Stoked about the sub 1.40 ehh?
