Thanks! I figured years almost over gotta get this done!

Sweet. How's William doing?

 

[Iggy]

41.02 4x4 single with DP cool

 

[SoySauS]

So my 3x3 personal best used to be 24.56 seconds or something like that.
Last night I beat it by getting 24.10! Then, not long after, I beat it again with 23.47! Right after that, I got 23.47, which is frustrating because I was close to beating it. . .
And then a bit after I got 22.37, my current personal best.
But then I just got like 36 seconds so I guess my streak is over.

My Ao100 PB progress since September:

View attachment 4764

Cubing since March '14, so I'm pretty happy with how it's going.
Currently I do a Ao100 every day and this is really useful!

You've come down from 22 Ao100 to 16 Ao100 in 3 months???? Oh my! I've come from 25 to 23. What am I doing wrong?

You do NOTHING wrong

I don't like the statement: "You're improvement rate is just lower", because I rate the time you practise as more important.
The improvement is composed of 80% practise and 20% talent I'd say. Even if you're improvement rate is lower than others, you improve very fast.

So, I do 100 solves each day, which I recommend you too. With that many solves you improve rapidly!
For me it takes around 50-55 Minutes to do 100 solves since I'm Sub-17. For around 20 seconds it takes about 1:00-1:15 hours.
If you can't afford enough time, no problem, just do 50 or as many as you want as long as you do it constantly.

I just turn as fast as I can without losing my look ahead I don't get how people are fast at bigger cubes lol

If you can't afford enough time, no problem, just do 50 or as many as you want as long as you do it constantly.

I do an Ao100 every day I can, which in the end turns out to be 3-5 days a week. When I can afford it I even do some more (125, 150...), but still, I'm 44 and not specially talented so that might also be a factor. From 35 to 25 the progress was fast but from then on it has been very, very slow. Anyway, I will keep on trying. Let's see how much I can improve in 2015. I hope to be sub-20 (Ao100) at least

Thanks a lot for your feedback, by the way!

All stackmat, of course.
I was hoping to post about a good official average instead, but all I got were two more 6.6x averages...
The DNF in the finals was a 5.72, so the average would have been 6.14.

Incredible times. UWR Ao5 and Ao12 if I'm not mistaken!
(although I'd be interested to see what Yunho Nam's PB's are like...)

Heartbreaking to hear about the official averages. That makes two costly DNF's in clock from that weekend >_<

[Lazy Einstein]

Been solving for over a year now. Never realized since I haven't been solving for the last month because I was getting annihilated by school.

I never solve big cubes. I figured out I enjoy 2x2, 3x3, and weird puzzles. Been to 1 comp a few months after I started.
In the new year I need to buy a clock and learn it solve it as well as 3x3x3 with feet and BLD. Should probably get good at big cubes as well. Plan on attending lots of comps.

One year of solving achievement and PBs. (Single, Ao5, Ao12).

I learned full OLL.

Noice. You are already super fast now. Wonder how much this will help your times.

Did my first Ao50 using only full COLL/EPLL even with the S and AS cases for LL. Wonder how fast I can catch my CFOP times
