I don't know what's more insane, this average of 50 or the fact I still can't get a sub-40 average of 12 (PB is 40.67).
 
7.96 square-1 single

except DNF because the middle slice was flipped :(

edit: 9.60 single makes up for it

(4, 0) / (0, -3) / (-1, -4) / (1, -3) / (-3, -3) / (5, -3) / (-5, 0) / (4, -5) / (2, 0) / (4, -4) / (6, -3) / (3, 0)

5 slice CS, 2 slice CO, M2 then 1/1 EO, adj-adj

Just posting this because it's kinda fun. Done with a purple Valk 3 M with the new fast DNM lube. Can do a 180 flick, even with the magnets :eek:

(41.69), 40.53, 38.72, (38.31), 39.59 = 39.61 Feet ao5 for the Speedsolving weekly comp! Not a PB or anything, but I'm happy to perform that well under a little more pressure than my usual solves. Last 3 solves made a sub-NR mean of 3 too :)
 
Doing some splits last night
even when tapping the space bar twice during a solve, I managed to set some PBs.

ao50 14.89 - sub15 cool
ao12 13.93 - sub14 cool
matched ao5 at 13.42

Also, the best splits combined equals
1.47 + 2.89 + 1.66 = 6.02
For the 2 second F2L, I had planned out a really nice EOXLine, so like the entire left block was solved when I finished Line and pressed space.
 
Okay, legitimately the craziest solve ever:

F R2 F' U2 F' D2 F R2 D2 F2 D' L2 D2 B U' B L2 B
7.77
inspection: z2 y
cross: D R' L2 D
F2L1: U L' U L U' L' U' L

F2L3: U R U' R' U2 R U' R'
F2L4: U R' U' R
OLL: Skippie
PLL: R' U L' U2 R U' R' U2 R L U'
39 moves/7.77 sec = 5.01 TPS

PB single by an entire second. Just...wat
 
I got a PB single the other day - my second sub-16.

Scramble: R' B2 L F2 R D2 B2 R U2 L2 B2 D' L' B D R2 D' B2 L2 B

Inspection: X2

Cross (white): U' R' F (3)
F2L1 (blue-orange): R' U' R U' R' U2 R F U' F' (10)
F2L2 (blue-red): U2 R U' R' U' F' U' F (8)
F2L3 (green-red): R' U' R U' R' U R U' B U' B' (11)
F2L4 (green-orange): U2 B' U' B U2 B' U' B (8)
OLL: Y R2' D' R U2' R' D R U2 R (9)
PLL: M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2 (7)

15.583 seconds
56 moves
3.59 TPS

It was my first time reconstructing a solve. I didn't have video, so it took some trial and error. While working on the reconstruction I found a few other ways of doing the F2L - some more efficient than what I used; but the way I did it gave me a lucky last layer - headlights OLL and an H-perm with no AUF.
 
FINALLY. Second solve was a PLL skip, rest were full step. Valk 3 M (I added some 50K to slow it down a little bit and it's quite nice now). EDIT: Rolled into a 8.84 Ao12 with a counting high 10 -.-

This session is looking like I might have a sub-1:30 ao50 too, so I'll update when I'm done.
E: 1:29.96 ao50! Had to roll 5 solves, but I got it!
Now I need to do an ao100, cause my PB ao100 is seven seconds slower lol


Also, 4 line-long signature lol what?
