What did you do to yours? Mine turns ok but it can be almost impossible to do finger tricks on at times.

First day that I solved it by myself.
I figured it out by myself and use my own method. I did it about a year ago on Gabbasoft and using instructions in 19 min. Today I figured it out entirely on my own.

Can someone comment on my method?

1. intuitive random moves for centers, about 65-85 moves.
2. I set up 3 edges on the M slice do something like Rw Lw2 to pair up a whole Triedge, swap it out, repeat about 6 times. Then, I make some semi dedges and pair them up and do it like 2-pair 4x4 pairing until I get to the last 2 edges. If there is PLL parity, I'm stuck for a while doing random things. If OLL parity, it's easy. If 2 M edges are flipped, I flip them using [B'RBUR2U',M2]
Then I finish with d R F ' U R ' F d '
Total is about 110 moves
3. 3x3 Fridrich/VH. Around 55 moves

Is this too weird? Should I bother to learn bigcubes, AVG or something?

I did an average of 25 and in the first 5 solves, I had 3 OLL skips. The average of 5 was 13.xx or something.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the probability of getting exactly three OLL skips in an average of 5 is:

5C3 * (1/512)^3 * (511/512)^2 = 0.0000000742

I don't think that'll be happening again anytime soon

There are 512 cases? I thought there were only 216 (2^3*3^3)...

 

[MTGjumper]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right. I'll edit that when I'm less tired.

Now where did I pluck 512 from? ... it's a cube number, as is 216, but I can't think of any other reason

YAY new pb for scrambling Square-1
this one just flowed REALLY well and was pretty simple in the middle there with all those 3s. anyway time was 16.75!
heres the scramble, and then i solved and the solve time was also good!
21.04

Surprise!

after using my ES 4x4x4 for the past several months, I decided to give my old Rubik's 4x4x4 a go and first shot, BAM! new record!

57.56!... from my RUBIK'S!

haha what the EFF?

LBL ftw, except that 5.05 was ortega

 

[aliengrey]

I basically have all 7 2-Look OLL algs in my "muscle" memory, I started memorizing them late yesterday. Hey, it's an accomplishment for me.

 

[Vulosity]

My First TIMED 7x7 solve: 10:03.25

I did OLL twice (I don't know why), my cross had one edge flipped, an I really have to work on making the 1x5 bars for the last two centers.

sub-40 non-rolling average of 12, finally

 

[byu]

I got my first sub-30 second time! Non-lucky too!
28.15 seconds! Finally! I've been waiting for this for a long time, and practicing more this past week than ever before.

A quite easy cross, only 5 moves I believe, 15 second F2L, they were pairs that I somehow seemed to just be able to identify quickly, 5 second OLL (That was the only OLL case I actually knew) and a 3 second PLL that was a simple T permutation.
