new PB of 53.40
After i got to about 1:05 i took me awhile to get sub 60
then i got a 59 followed by a 53 =]

Got a 12.57 average of 5 at a mini comp/meetup today. No lucky solves.

Also, since my 4x4 broke, I haven't been practicing. Somehow I got faster, as I got a 1:02 average for the comp using Rawn's 4x4. I got about 5 sub 1's when I was there, the best being 54.21. Hopefully I will order a set of twin mefferts 4x4s tonight.

I lubed my v5 with some CRC at the meet, and now its crazy fast and creamy.

I failed at magic - with a 3 second average - fastest time was 1.34. I had 2 plus 2's and one 28 second solve.

I started cubing in the beginning of December. I could solve using a crap beginners method in around 3mins. End of December I learned half of a new beginners method to get the first two layers down, then used the old way to get the last layer and brought my time to an average of 1:20. Now, nearing the end of January I have learned a great beginners method for F2L (learning Fredrich F2L now), learned all of the 2-Look-OLL's, and am learning 2-Look PLL's. My average is now 58secs with my fastest of 5 being 56secs.

Go me for just over 1.5 months getting down 2mins?

By the way, this is with a non-lubed rubiks store bought that locks up like a piece of crap. I just ordered two New Type White DIY's from CubeFans.

2:48.12 average


the 3:13 should've been around 2:45 but I had an inner x center twist (reduction was similar to the ones around it).

The 2:17 was just nuts. 1:00 centers. When I restored centers after the first 8 edges, I skipped the inner edges.

4x4 in 1:01.63
Messed U perm because of excitement. Could have been sub-60. PB by 9 seconds.
19-22-20
Amazing edges, average-good for centers and 3x3.

Edit: 1:09 OLL parity! That would have beaten my previous PB haha. Guess I'm past a new barrier?

[VirKill]

It's kinda fun to get new PB almost everyday....

5x5x5 5:11.10

4x4x4 3:03.10

I hope can easily get sub 2:30 when my E4 come tomorrow.....and get sub 2 someday...

I was right!
After struggling few days with my new E4, my PB drop to 1:55.2 today. And the funny part is, 2 hours later i got new PB off by 0,1 second. It's 1:55.1.
Heheh.

Next target: get sub 4 minutes with E5.

Some people would say the same thing about solving the cube in general.

That's awesome! 10.69 full step! Crazy.

I got my diansheng and yuga (my only accomplishment) and they are by far the best DIY's.
