I got my first sub-15 average of 12 on 3x3 ever!

The funny thing is, I was using Japanese color scheme. I stickered one of my new DIYs with the Japanese scheme earlier today, because I wanted to have at least one cube with that color scheme, and after a few hours I felt like recording a couple of dozen times to see how fast I could get. This popped out:

13.89 14.24 14.17 16.28 13.66 (16.98) (12.74) 14.74 14.43 16.37 15.25 14.24 => 14.73

New best 4x4 average - 1:16.94
Individual Times: 1:18.92, 1:08.75, (1:23.48), 1:21.41, 1:16.73, 1:17.80, 1:10.56, 1:18.39, 1:12.70, 1:23.48, (1:07.30), 1:20.61

Do I get a prize for that?

No, because you put parentheses around the wrong solve.

I must be missing something, how are the parentheses around the wrong solve?

I'm pretty sure he is joking (hence the smiley at the end), since there are two times that are exactly the same, and they also share the time of the slowest solve(s) of the average.

[Escher]

new PB average of 5 - 14.94!

14.57, (16.10), 14.92, (14.28), 15.34.

all of them were full step, the first three were all EPLLs however, the fourth was a 3 look LL (with a V i think), and the last had a massive lockup on the last few moves of a Y perm, which is surprisingly difficult to replicate.

7 months and 23 days work

and now im going to look even MORE inconsistent than i normally am...

 

[Ville Seppänen]

10.44 single PB, nonlucky and no skipped steps. 8-move T-oll and U perm. A solve from an avg of 100 that was 16.17 :/ It had a moment with sub15 avg.

recently I got a 11.93 avg of 12, with a 11.31 avg of 5 (first 5 solves)
times were: 10.05 11.94 11.94 9.86 13.15 13.25 11.91 (13.97) 12.78 12.47 (8.75) 11.97
ridiculous. sometimes I'm possessed by some brutal skills. no sup14s
both sub10s were pll skips.

 

[qqwref]

Nice job Zava!


I did 100 2gen solves (2 pops, mean of the other 98 = 8.22 sec). The best average of 12 was
8.36 6.61 (3.36) 10.33 (11.76+) 6.90 6.89 5.80 5.74 7.89 6.62 7.62 = 7.28

Part of an avg of 100 which is 15.55 which is ok, aiming for sub15. Storebought cubes wooooooo!

 

[MistArts]

Too easy scrambles. (3 XLL skips and 1 OLL skip)

(2.81), 4.65, (8.25), 3.65, 4.58 = 4.29

Nice! What is your method?
Especially, when turning it back to the cube shape, how do you keep track of the pieces? Unless you started from an easy shape?

 

[PeterV]

4x4x4 PB: 2:53.xx. First sub-3 after a couple of 3:00.xx's (No parity helps). I know everyone will skim past this, but I'm quite happy after only a couple days of semi-serious practice.

I traced the corners through cubeshape, then figured out a quick solution to solve all corners (ignoring edges) Basically, it was 2 twists to solve all but 2, then a J perm. After that, I traced all the edges to where they would be after solving that, and figured out a quick freestyle-type solution for those. It's not hard to do, really. It's just time-consuming to trace all those pieces.

 

[rachmaninovian]

finally got my mefferts 4x4
1:03.53....i must sub 1 single....centres last ftw!

 

[JTW2007]

Just broke the sub-20 barrier!

 

[byu]

I just managed to disassemble and reassemble a 4x4x4 Rubiks cube. Not much of an accomplishment, but i've never done it before, and it was just a little bit difficult.
