Well one of my new years resolutions was going to be to finally learn how to solve my square 1 without having to look up any algorithms and with just a few hours left in 2014 I solved my square 1 for the first time without looking up algorithms. Still don't have the final edge parity algorithm memorized though. And my solve time is extremely slow but I just learned and all the basic steps to solve it.
 
I tried looking ahead with Roux

Learned the polish sledge a few days ago, works great :)

Edit: 1:59.691 6x6 single! It took so long to get my next sub 2 but I finally got it!

Haven't used CFOP in about 2 months. 1 month off because exams 24/7 2nd month using ZZ and learning/using COLL/EPLL LL only.

In first 41 solves, Ao12 17.85 with CFOP with 11.88 single. Almost Ao12 PB.

TDM I now know why you had trouble switching. So tempting to use CFOP and finish an Ao100 now.

I can actually never solve CFOP on 3x3x3 again until I am sub-15 with ZZ if I want to make it work.
 
I thought my ao12 PB was 15.44, but it was actually 15.40

More of a failure, but there's no thread for that.
