Sq-1 PB: 32.66

So close to sub-30

D U L2 B' F2 L2 D2 L' F2 B' U' R B2 U D' R U L2 D' F2 D2 L2 R U B'

Also, someone please FMC that. I got 34 on it, with Fridrich and a bit of intuition, in about 5 minutes.

7x7: 9:53.90 !!!!!

Sub-10, it's my second timed 7x7 solve. After watching Levi's and Dan's last two centers video, it improved my time a little.

Average: 17.19 sec.

Fastest Time: 13.44
Slowest Time: 22.17
Standard Deviation: 01.79

13.79 16.54 15.52 (22.17) 18.23 16.28 19.74 17.54 (13.44) 17.89 19.41 17.01

This was awesome: D I thought I had stopped improving but apparently I was wrong.

Total Solves: 100
Total Pops: 0
Average: 18.37 sec.

Fastest Time: 13.33
Slowest Time: 23.24
Standard Deviation: 01.99

And now I really am sub-19. Both of these averages were done at the same session.

 

[Zava]

nice one Ewks, now you should change your sig

 

[Ewks]

Done: D my old signature has been outdated for a while now

 

[Zava]

I remembered qq told me to go for sub1 on 4x4, well:
Average: 59,39
Standard Deviation: 1,33
Best Time: 55,93
Worst Time: 1:07,75

59,36 (1:07,75) 59,65 59,30 57,11 (55,93) 59,80 1:01,03 57,11 1:01,40 59,94 59,21

with a best average of 5:
Average: 58,01
Standard Deviation: 1,27
Best Time: 55,93
Worst Time: 1:01,03
57,11 (55,93) 59,80 (1:01,03) 57,11

I don't remember the parities, but I'm sure the rate was around 1 parity/solve
edit: this was with a not too good ES, I can't wait for my mefferts

Yesyesyesyes!

My second sub 10, and also my new PB: 9.80

38 @ 9.80 = 3.88 tps

I did this on CCT for a change, and if it's gonna spit out awesome scrambles like this, I'll use it more often. This was from a 14.60 session average of 25, with a best of average 10 of 12 of 14.51.

 

[McWizzle94]

For some reason I decided to use ZZ and I got 15.49 =]

EDIT: 14.02 =]

TODAY HAS BEEN SUCH A GOOD DAY FOR CUBING!

*cough*

Now that that's out of my system, basically my achievements today result in me having to change everything in the top line of my sig. It's that epic.

I solved an 11x11x11 with reduction in 20:26 (on Iso). If I get a physical one, I'm not sure I'll solve it more than, say, once.

EDIT: And an 11x11x1 in 55.780 seconds. And an 11x1x1 in 1.593.

EDIT 2: OMG YES!!!! 7x7 OH in 14:43.32. Beat that, Dan.

its not really a single achievement as such...

but over the past few days i've just improved on other cubes by a ridiculous amount - for example, i was averaging around 6:00-9:00 on the megaminx - i had no lookahead, and no last layer system for corners OLL or PLL.

i tried again soon after jude got a megaminx, because he demolished my times instantly (not to say he also learnt about 14 LL algs in a night). so i did a couple more solves, and now average around 3:45, a reduction by nearly 50%!

and similarly, with the 4x4, i went from a 1:50-2:00 average, suddenly down to sub 1:40 at least, and over the weekend i got 4-5 sub 1:25 solves, with a 1:19.xx best, and a 1:2x(1-3?).xx with double parity. and i seriously think that if i improve my centres (still around 18-30s) and my 3x3 part (30-45s) then i can easily average that.

not only that, i also got an average of 12 of 15.xx, and over the past few evenings I've had many, many 12.xx and 13.xx non lucky singles, with most session averages being around 16s, and less than a month ago was i pushing sub 18s!

i just dont know whats happened!

That's great improvement there!
Average of 12: 24.88 for me, pretty good since I haven't done an average since a week.

New PB and 3x3x3 average !!!

PB: 24.21
Avg: 31.95, of 5.
Proof: Cubemania.org search my name under there...

Did this during Data Management today; I don't even know what possessed my hands to move that fast...
Easy T-perms to finish but the 24.21 was still non-lucky (Headlights OLL + U perm = 7 second LL )

4:17 on 5x5 using AVG edges.
Last time I broke the record was earlier today using Freeslice edges in 4:45. I'm not sure which method I use. I think most of the time I start off doing a free slice and whenever I see a semi pair, I switch to AVG, and whenever I see 2 wings solved, but not the center edge, I switch to freeslice. My lookahead sucks. Bad lighting can increase my times by over 1 minute.
