would have been sub-8 if the last 5 solves weren't all Z perms. Z perms make solves sup-10. ugh

 

[imvelox]

Nice. Have you tried it with adjacent sums? That's very hard, even just 3x3.

Yes, Ben explained me it but my PB is 2:12 (i have tired it just two Times though)

I couldn't get anywhere near solving it I've only had three or four successes on 8 puzzle.

5x5: 1:28.90, 1:26.86, 1:15.84, 1:21.73, 1:19.91, 1:15.04, 1:17.56, 1:26.97, 1:37.46, 1:38.23, 1:22.94, 1:22.16 = 1:24.03 AO12

1:17.50 MO3 and 1:17.77 AO5; both PBs. The AO12 is my second best ever; .15 away from PB.

Also rolled the AO100 to 1:31.20.

Not really a specific PB or anything, but I wanted to share something I got today.

When doing a solve, I did the wrong PLL and then had to do the good N perm when I realised. The final time was 19.50.

It was kinda funny because just over 6 months ago I was aiming to get at least half of my solves sub-20 and I was failing at it a lot of the time. I kinda quit cubing before going back to it after realising that everyone who was just as fast as me at previous competitions completely obliterated me at UK Champs 2014.

Now I can get a sub-20 even with the wrong PLL

R2 S' R2 U' S2 U' R2 S' R2 in 1.1ish. I think sub-1 is possible. S moves are awesome.

I am myself thinking about quitting because of the same issue. I just got to barely sub-20, with between 40-50% of sub-20 solves most of the time but, whenever I have a bad day (like today) when I barely get to 3x% sub-20 I really want to quit. It's been some months around those times and it looks more and more like sub-20 is an unattainable goal for me. Perhpas I should just forget about the times and simply enjoy solving. I tried learning Roux but the times were so bad (barely sub-minute) that I stopped practising. Now I'm watching some ZZ tutorials but I know it's gonna be the same thing.

Any advice for me?

just relax while solving, and try not to think about times. What helped me break sub 20 was to turn reallly really slowly, like 3 tps, and look ahead. I know that's what everybody says, but it works. A useful thing i always use when i'm mad is to go on cstimer and turn off the "list times" option, turn off timer update, and make the timer size super tiny. This way, you only see scramble and no times. After a while, click list times and poof! pb ao 100.

Thanks for your advice. I really needed it today ;-)
