Woop! New 3x3 PB Average of 5!
After about 2 weeks of seeing barely any improvement, these last 2 days I suddenly broke the block and got faster!
I was stuck around times of 55-1:05.
Just now:
100: 00:58.30
99: 00:53.16
98: 00:51.65
97: 00:46.34
96: 00:50.94
Avg. 5: 00:52.08 3 of 5: 00:51.91

ALL non-lucky. No skips at all, even the 46. My PB ever being 43 with a full PLL skip

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

NEW PB 10 of 12 AND ROLLING AVERAGE OF 5!!!

THREE PB'S IN ONE EVENING, AND TWO IN ONE AVG OF 12!

taken from cubetimer.com (i saw rachmaninovs 4x4, was reminded of it, and went on) and then imported into CCT to get more accurate stats, hence no scrambles, which is a shame.

sub 14 avg of 5 AND sub 15 avg of 12 in one session of 12 solves!
after 270 days of cubing, i've finally got there! this is what all the work has been about
I am on SUCH an endorphin high!
i cant believe the progress i've made since the end of last term... my PB then was like 17.10 of 12!
EPIC WIN!

YES!
After 1 and a half months of hard work, I have finally learned how to recognize and perform each and every one of the 21 PLL cases! Very hard for me to do, but I finally did it. I'll be trying some time attacks soon, to make sure I retain all of the algorithms in memory.

OK, now all I need is 57 OLL cases to learn (I probably know at least a couple, since I do two-look) and I know full CFOP!

4x4 average of 5: 1:17.43. Woot, sub-1:20

 

[byu]

Just did a PLL time attack in order (Case 1 to Case 21). First one I've ever done, I only learned all the PLLs today. Time was 1:48.78. Is that good? horrible? average? I don't know. Can someone tell me? Thanks.

(I can't believe I still remember the G perms. Whether I remember them tomorrow is a different challenge)

35:xx.xx 4x4x4 using Group Reduction.

I think I reduced it like this:

<U, R, F, D, L, B, Uw, Rw, Fw, Dw, Lw, Bw>
<U, R, F, D, L, B, Rw, Lw, Uw2, Fw2, Dw2, Bw2>
<U, R, D, L, Rw, Lw, Uw2, Fw2, Dw2, Bw2, F2, B2>
<U, D, Rw, Lw, Uw2, Fw2, Dw2, Bw2, F2, B2, R2, L2>
<U, D, Rw2, Lw2, Uw2, Fw2, Dw2, Bw2, F2, B2, R2, L2>
<Rw2, Lw2, Uw2, Fw2, Dw2, Bw2, F2, B2, R2, L2, U2, D2>
<F2, B2, R2, L2, U2, D2>
<Solved>

I'm not sure if that's what I did. I think it's close though.

First sub-25 3x3 average. I think it was 24.38.

 

[MTGjumper]

Palindromic PB for Square-1: 24.42

Scramble was (-3,-1) / (0,6) / (-2,4) / (0,3) / (-3,2) / (3,3) / (-2,1) / (0,2) / (0,2) / (2,2) / (2,4) / (0,3) / (-5,0) / (6,5) / (0,4) / (2,0) / which yields a fairly easy shape, but it was non-lucky.

I just solved a virtual 4x4x4 for the first time. It took 6 minutes, I can't believe how fast some of those on the High Score list can solve it. It takes me 31.09 seconds (Robert Yao's highscore) just to get the first two centers on a virtual 4x4x4!

thanks to qq and Dennis for the inspiration. best avg of 5 was 8.68. oh well, at least there was a sub-WR single. its weird to get something like a 9.4 and be mad about it because it hurts your average

 

[qqwref]

I was hoping to post a good hi-games 6x6 average to respond to Dan's... but... I couldn't get one here's the best I could do anyway:

2:09.88 2:19.47 (2:39.64) 2:14.93 2:10.42 (2:09.80) 2:20.66 2:39.29 2:11.07 2:14.10 2:33.59 2:16.32 => 2:18.97

I broke my personal best one-handed single several times over today. I started out with 24.86 from a few days ago and today I kept getting 24s in all of my averages. Just one average-of-12 ago I had 24.40 and now my latest is 24.08. No where to go but to 23 right? At least I'm hoping this means my times are going to be more consistently sub-30.

Sadly my one-handed average has not budged from 30 seconds and my normal speed times are actually still 20-21 seconds(the average in my signature was done nearly half a year ago). I'm hoping that once I push past the 30 second barrier in one-handed solving I'll be able to get more sub-20 speed times.

Oh yeah, first post here in this thread a very long while, heh.
