[Iggy]

59.70 megaminx single with a ton of lock ups. Should've been sub 55

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

I was trying to go slowly during F2L to improve my lookahead and I was having a very consistent session, with all 20.x, 21.x and 22.x, with the occasional 19.x and 18.x. Nothing very fast (for me that would mean 15.x to 17.x) but also nothing bad (23.x or worse).

I got to 50 solves achieving my first sub-22 Ao50 (it was like 21.6x). I thought , why not do an Ao100 and smash both PBs? I started to be more ambitious and turn a bit faster. My lookahead went down the drain. I started to do 23s to 26s. Got all enraged when the mean went up to 22.x. Deleted the entire session.

How 'bout that for an achievement? "Most stupid cuber in the whole SpeedSolving site" (me).

I hate it when that happens too... fast turning is a bad idea even for me... just do what feels comfortable.

 

[devin719]

I have only been cubing for just over three months and i got my first sub-15 single just before the 3 month mark

[mafergut]

I have only been cubing for just over three months and i got my first sub-15 single just before the 3 month mark

Oh! Come on! It took me a whole year to get a sub-15 and I only have 3, two of them PLL skips and the only full step is a 14.97. That was like 4 months ago, I have been cubing for over a year and a half now and it is rare the day I do a 15.x single. Time for me to leave speedcubing?

Are you sub 12 globally yet? looks like you're closing in on ryan.

After the frustration yesterday today I managed to keep concentrating on my lookahead.
Times are not brilliant but much more constant and I managed to beat all my averages (5, 12, 50 and 100). First time sub-22 Ao100

[Tao Yu]

Figured out how to solve a skewb in ~30-40 minutes.

The hint was...

Spoiler

that sledgehammer had something to do with it. If I hadn't known, it might have been a lot harder...

Once I figured out what sledge and its inverse did, it was plain sailing from there.

 

[TDM]

Figured out how to solve a skewb in ~20 minutes.

that sledgehammer had something to do with it. If I hadn't known, it might have been a lot harder...

Once I figured out what sledge and its inverse did, it was plain sailing from there.

It took me about an hour, and I knew that 'sledge y2 sledge' did something, so I knew more than you and it still took me much longer

 

[Hssandwich]

It took me 3 hours, knowing nothing

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

Are you sub 12 globally yet? looks like you're closing in on ryan.

Yeah I think so. Sub 12 ao 50 and 100 is great, and I feel like I am getting a lot of 10s and 11s (over 50% for sure) with some 12s and rare bad 13s. I think I just need to improve consistency.

 

[Tao Yu]

It took me about an hour, and I knew that 'sledge y2 sledge' did something, so I knew more than you and it still took me much longer

Actually, thinking back, it might have been a bit longer, maybe 30 to 40 minutes. I wasn't timing or anything (and I was playing with some other puzzles as well), but it felt pretty quick. I think I'll change my last post to 30-40.

In case you're wondering what I did:

Spoiler

-Solved a layer, pretty easy.
-Figured out what sledge does to the corners. Did sledge until the corners were solved.
-Figured out sledge y2 sledge. Solved centres.

Now to figure out the curvy copter...
