That's a new PB session average by ~0.5 secs, and a new 10 of 12 average by ~0.2 secs.

Also, new NL PB of 12.08 in the Sunday Contest.

I like this cube.
 
yeah at Drexel I beat my 5x5 PB twice, which is pretty exciting to do in comp. my previous was 2:16.xx, and I got a 2:09.86 and a 2:15.38. Ellery Murdock and I raced for the 2:15.38, he got 2:16.36.

I also beat Waris' official records for 4x4, which was my goal. I was also 2 seconds out of placing, because I screwed up the F2L on one and ended up doing OLL parity twice, resulting in a crappy 1:25. So now my goal is to beat Erik Johnson at West Chester.
 
2x2x2 Average of 12

5.08, (4.46), 4.66, 7.08, 7.24, 5.22, 6.79, 6.52, 6.38, 5.37, 7.26, (7.41) = 6.16

I hope to be sub-6 by VA Open.
 
YESSS!!!!

Got an official 16.7x OH solve. It was easy and lucky (my favorite!) but surprisingly it wasn't the fastest solve of the comp, since Dan Dzoan got a 15.80 in the final round. I don't think there is any video of it (or the 16.81 re-execution I did immediately after when they accidentally gave me the same scramble again :cool:), but I did do a reconstruction:

Scramble: F2 D2 L2 U R2 B2 D2 U R2 U L U2 L B D2 B2 L R' F L U2

Cross: x' z' L D R x' D2 R2 D'
Pair 1: R U' R2' U R
Pair 2: D R U R' U' R U R'
Pair 3: D R U' R'
Pair 4: D2 U' R U2 R' d R' U' R
OLL: U' r U R' U' r' R U R U' R' (43f, 48q)


Oh, and this isn't a traditional accomplishment, but I got the same placement in 3x3, 3x3OH, and 4x4! 4th place - talk about just barely missing the podium. I also just barely missed the square-1 final.

I also accomplished a very very consistent 3x3 average: 15.09 15.18 14.84 15.30 15.05. Slow turning for the win.

Oh my GOSH!!! I just did a 15.52 second solve. My previous PB was 20.83, so this is almost 5 seconds faster!

I did have some luck though. I multislotted two pairs by accident, and had a PLL skip. But still, 15.52 is crazy fast for me.
