YAS! 3x3 PB ao5 club.
17.33, (15.70), 17.17, (22.44), 19.44 = 17.98.
Getting ridiculously close to sub-24, global avg is 24.008

 

[GlowingSausage]

global avg is 24.008

How do you know your global avg is EXACTLY that? ^^

ChaoTimer. It's da bomb. I create a new session for every event each month, and I record them at the end of each month ^_^
btw, it's 23.992 now so yay

Misscramble , counting it though.

54/5.65=9.55 TPS

Really solid solve.

"Solid"? 9.55 TPS is solid? Great would then be to break the speed of light limit? IM-PRES-SIVE
I mean, this is comparable to Feliks' 5.66 WR single. Full-step, around 50-something turns and 1 hundredth of a second faster.

Megaminx PB single! My modded shengshou is great even though I haven't lubed it yet.

So I will not ask you whether it was a successful mod or not
I just want to know if layers are stable and don't move around like Yuhu's layers do. Also, did you follow a specific modding tutorial or just shaved / rounded off the pieces at your discretion?

It is fairly stable even though my tensions are a bit loose. Odder has a video of some close up footage of the modded pieces. I also looked at the photos of Nicolas' Naing's megaminx, though I couldn't really sand the centres properly so I did not mod the centres.

Thanks, I will get a SS and hopefully mod it during Christmas vacation. Don't think I will find time to do it before then.

Yes modding it is quite tiring and time consuming

And I think I will do it in stages, as I don't want to overmod it and have to start from scratch, even though the puzzle is not that expensive.

megaminx:

57.97 ao50 wtf
58.71 ao100

My modded one feels terrible. I have no idea how to get it to feel as good as my unmodded one. I suck at modding though..

Speaking of which. New Mega PB single yesterday: 1:30.42

Edit: And new 3x3 Ao12 PB: 13.02
Soooo close to sub13.

 

[YouCubing]

18.50 3x3 ao5, not PB but really good

WTH First ever sub 7! (and sub 8) LL was oll skip into MU U-perm, prevous PB was 8.06 lol.
EDIT: I think i mis-scrambled, but I'm still counting it, because the only lucky thing was the LL.

New PBs at 2x2 in a session of almost 300 solves over the last 2-3 days.
After having bought a Dayan and a CB this was done with my old LingPo. It still catches but if i relax and do not press tightly on the puzzle but instead hold it as lightly as possible, the catching diminishes a lot.

avg of 5 best: 5.51 (σ = 0.67)
avg of 12 best: 6.20 (σ = 0.74) (Not PB)
avg of 50 best: 6.71 (σ = 0.81)
avg of 100 best: 6.98 (σ = 0.92)

Sub-7 with Ortega. Still a lot of improvement needed and some new algs to learn. I already learned an alg for diag swap on top and bar on bottom (L D' L F2 L' D L', which is the upside down version of the bar on top / diag swap on bottom) but execution is horrible.

Execution of that is much better, thanks. My only problem is that I always leave bar on front as my bar/bar and bar/diag swap algs also need the bar(s) on the front. So I can also do a z2 and use the alg for bar/diag swap (R U' R F2 R' U R'), which is what I have been doing until now.

I just found an alg in Chris Olson's Varasano page that has bar on the left and I could try that as it only implies a y rotation: [z2] y F' U R' U2 R U' F
