:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

New personal best average of 10! And the crazy part, this is only the fifth average I've done tonight after 6 days of no-cubing at all. I guess the best way to practice is not to practice at all??

Chris

Derrick, congrats on the sub-13! That's absolute madness! I hope to get there one day myself!

Did this on Sunday but didn't came to post here.
 
Oh my God!!!! Aaaaaah!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

My first non-lucky sub-10 single!!!!!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

9.83

I lost the scramble in my crazed excitement, but I used cube explorer to reconstruct the solve.

With your cross on bottom do:
B2 U2 B2 D' R2 F2 D' R2 U' . L' U2 R' D2 L2 U L2 F2 R2 F U2

I had a 45 move solve not counting move cancellations (which I did not notice during the solve). I saw the entire double Xcross during inspection, which is why the solve went so quickly.

I've gotten sub-10 solves before back when I knew about 25% of ZBLL (which meant any skips were considered non-lucky). But I always considered them slightly lucky, since they were all COLL skips and not ZBLL cases that I actually knew.

Yay!! I really don't know why my times have suddenly improve a little bit. I literally have not even touched a cube for about 6 days due to the holidays until yesterday. Suddenly I'm getting slightly faster averages and times than I usually do, as well as this crazy single! yay!

Chris

P.S. Thanks Derrick, and good luck on your next sub-13 average!
P.P.S. Congrats Ville on the nice average! Keep it up and hopefully soon you'll get sub-14 as well!

So, wait, how do you stack bowling balls exactly? I think I got a stack of four once using the thumb holes, is that the trick or is there something else?

that's basically it, plus it takes some balancing skills to make sure they don't fall off. Basically 4 is easy but 5 is hard and the 6th one will destroy it when you're not carefull.
 
6.13 non lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scramble(cross colour on D):
L2 F L2 R' F' L R2 D' U2 R2 D' L R' F D L U B F2 L' R' B2 D' B' F2

probably the easiest scramble i will ever get, easy 5 move x-cross, 1 of the 2 easiest cases for the rest of the f2l, 6 move oll and J perm. what more can you ask for:D
i also had a delay before pll coz i was so excited:D non lucky sub 6 is possible!

haha yeah breandon it may have been full step, but it certainly wasnt non-lucky. i counted 34 moves for that, which is lucky.

Not the definition of lucky... What about FM?

It takes a lot of luck to come across a scramble this easy i know but its still a full step solve and as far as i know, full step=non-lucky

btw it was 31 moves :P

there has already been an argument over this, and full step does not necesarily mean non-lucky. A 5-move x-cross coming from a already solved 1x2x2 block is lucky. using 60% of the normal moves is lucky. and how did you get 31 moves? I did:

D' R' F2 D' y' L2 (5)

R U R' (8)

U' L' U' L (12)

y U' R U R' (16)

F U R U' R' F' (22)

Jperm (i used the 11 move LUR one, optimal is 10, making 33-34 moves after AUF)

solution is here: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5799&page=23

sorry i missed the argument but i guess you're right about 1x2x2 being solved. I personally wouldnt consider 60% of the average moves lucky. The average number of moves is just an average so there will obviously be some solves with more moves and some with less moves (and some with much less). But thats just me

Back on topic: I guess it is lucky then:/ im still happy with it though:D
