I learned another coll set of zbll
cinnamon apple pie

I should probably clean up my other sets before I move on but I don't want to.


E: 11.53 decent first solve where a case from this set popped up.

dropped my feet pb from like 5 min to 1:21 yesterday and today

This is post #1,111 for me. Not much of an accomplishment, but since this post is perfectly even with 1's I thought it would be fun to post it here

 

[Ordway Persyn]

I got two podiums at my comp today, 3rd on 7x7 and 2nd on Pyraminx (the scrambles sucked and the people faster than me did poorly)

 

[Prabal Baishya]

Got my first sub-10 yesterday with a time of 9.75(PLL skip)!!!
Also getting lots of 10s and sub 11.5s recently. I can see that my lookahead is improving, which is my greatest accomplishment in cubing so far.
I am hoping to average sub-10 by the end of this year.

 

[nightstar1623]

Just got my first sub-15 Ao5 yesterday!
(16.24), 13.21, 14.19, 15.33, (12.44) = 14.25

Very proud of this average, I know this will take me a long time to beat again, but I'm excited to be getting much more consistent!

Edit: Part of this may be that I just finished learning full OLL, and am working on getting the algs more consistent, but my lookahead is also improving dramatically.

 

[xyzzy]

Broke my 666 single PB with a 2:36.x yesterday for the forum weekly comp, and then I broke it again today with a 2:33.635. (Plus one more non-PB sub-2:40 solve earlier in the session, so I pretty much just doubled my number of sub-2:40 solves in an hour.)

e: and a 2:30.200 single

 

[GenTheSnail]

Also really good (6th) sub-12 single 11.63.

I've started practicing OH again and it's soo nice.

 

[Urejo]

My accomplishment this week is that I became sub-2 and almost sub 1:40 with Hoya. (Sidenote: also finished a C1 exam, currently waiting impatiently for the results )

 

[cubeshepherd]

This is probably kind of a silly/pointless accomplishment but I just stopped my timer (Stack Mat Timer) for the first time on all 1's meaning 1:11.11.
The solve was for Megaminx.

 

[Swagrid]

First sub-30 solve, Beginner's method with 1 F2L alg, 6 OLL algs, 6 PLL algs

haha nice

 

[GenTheSnail]

54.21 gj Megaminx single
PLL skip (my second iirc, first with hands. First was with feet)

ah sub-1s feel so nice

 

[nms777]

Yesterday I got my pb 3x3 ao12: 15.814 (my first sub-16).

Quite the goal, I average low-12's and I probably won't be sub-12 by the end of the summer

I tend to improve very slowly, I've been cubing for about 5 years now!

 

[GenTheSnail]

oh

14.74 ao5
16.53 ao50
16.77 ao100
lol first sub 17 average is by quite a bit
Previous was 17.06

The only thing is that this is on ctimer.co.uk (from Conrad Rider, an early ZZ pioneer with one of the most popular written tutorials) and that only takes the best and worst singles out, not best and worst 5%.

 

[nms777]

I tend to improve very slowly, I've been cubing for about 5 years now!

I've been cubing for almost 10 years and I have a global average of about 18 seconds. I've been sub-20 for about 5 years. It's mostly due to a lot of long hiatuses though. I also never got a speedcube till I had been cubing for a few years and never used lube until January this year. And I used the method in the instructions that came with my first Rubik's cube for a couple years before realizing I could be doing something different. Cubing used to frustrate me a lot because of all that and that's why I kept quitting for months at a time, even a whole year once. Now I've got it better so I'm more determined to practice and I just got my first sub-16 ao12 the other day and my first few sub-12 singles throughout the past few months. I think I can be averaging sub-15 by the end of the year if I stay as ambitious as I've been lately.
