Well, I just got some amazing 5x5x5 times, and finally got sub2 averages - comfortably. My edges were insane. Giantcubes ftw.

Megaminx: 8:10.84. First time fast enough to get on my stackmat . WR here I come

 

[mazei]

Well I just got my first sub-10 a few days ago. A PLL skip. 9.19. I was jumping around my room after I got that.

 

[jackolanternsoup]

I'm spazzing out over being able to consistently average sub-2 consistenly.

Took me a while frigging year... Damn...

[cmhardw]

Got 3 sub-15 averages in a row today. I normally get one sub-15 average a day if that many. Needless to say I'm spazzing right now haha ;-P

14.97, 15.23, 11.48, 13.38, 15.38, (11.33), (18.61), 15.79, 13.67, 13.21, 15.13, 17.54 = 14.58

Also got a 1:23.83 3x3x3 BLD just before these averages, which is just icing on the cake for me! Yay cubing!

[Swordsman Kirby]

Joey and I did the same FMC scramble:

F L' R D' U B U' R' U B2 F' U2 L B' L' D B2 D2 R2 L' F R U D' R

B2 L' D : L2 D B L' U F' . L2 U' L2 U' B' U R' U R U' B

. = [F R F', L]
: = [D' L D, R']

B2 D R' D' L' D R L2 D B L' U R F' L F R' F' L U' L2 U' B' U R' U R U' B (29HTM)

w00t 7 moves cancelled from insertions. Joey can claim a faster (timewise) final solution than me, but that doesn't mean much. XD

 

[scottp45]

I got my first sub minute average yesterday (56.99), as well as first sub 45 single (40.27). Only 27 Milliseconds till sub-40 o.0

 

[Raffael]

Another LL skip (makes it my 3rd)

6.69

Scramble: L' D2 U' B' R2 D L' R U F' U L2 R2 D' U' B' F L D' U B' R2 U F2 U2 (cross on D)

D' F' D' R D' L' (not executed like that)
y2 U' R U' R' U' F' U' F
U y R U' R2 U R U F U F'
U'

25 moves HTM

I gave it a shot: 7.42

My PB lucky before this was 16.70

I got it on tape and I'll put it on my youtube channel.
But I'm not going to count this, because I knew about the LL skip beforehand.

Thanks for posting the scramble anyway.

 

[CAT13]

so close to a sub 20 average, it isn't even funny.

solve 1/2: normal average, maybe on the fast side
solve 3: holy crap that was fast (but still a PLL skip)
solve 4: still pretty good
solve 5: holy crap that was fast, too. Heading toward a really good average!
solve 6-8: I might get a sub 20 average!
solve 9-12: I see my average rising, and rising, and rising... sub twenty remains just out of reach

[Jebediah54]

Got a new personal best for single/average yesterday...

Single: 24.98
Average: 30.5

And this is only 4 days after getting my DIY cube (my average used to be around 40 seconds)

 

[qqwref]

I got an INSANEly lucky square-1 solve, skipped both CP and EP. The chance is one in 20736 for a CP+EP skip to happen. I guess it was an easy scramble

Anyway the scramble (from cubemania lol):
(0,-1) (-2,-5) (6,-1) (-3,3) (3,3) (6,-3) (6,-6) (3,0) (6,3) (0,-6) (3,3) (-3,3) (3,-3) (6,-6) (2,-5)
And my solution (not exactly how I did it with respect to U/D turns):
cubeshape: /
CO: (3,2)/(0,-3)/
EO: (-2,-2)/(-3,0)/(-1,-1)/(4,1)/
finish: /(6,6)/(-4,-3)
Time: 12.85 !!!!

 

[mazei]

I got my average record for average of 5 yesterday, 14.14(the irony).

Need to buy another 4x4 since I lost it.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Okay, so I woke up this morning and found that my index and middle fingers on my left hand were very sore. Strangely, this is the second time this has happened lately - the first time was a couple of months ago. At first I didn't know why, but then it occurred to me what it was.

Last night I did a 7x7x7 OH. I didn't bother to record the time, but it was 38:xx, so it was 6 minutes faster or so than last time. (I was talking on the phone and doing this absent-mindedly while talking.)

I'm pretty sure the last time I had the sore fingers was right after this:

Maybe I'd better stop, huh?

 

[FU]

new pb ave on 2x2.. which is barely sub-5, non-rolling. method is Ortega

Average: 04.88 sec.

Fastest Time: 04.00
Slowest Time: 05.83
Standard Deviation: 00.35

i think i have to improve on something.. like getting FL + OLL in one look all the time.
