new 3x3 single pb from 2018 onwards

11.01 forced pll skip

 

[Tony Acevedo]

My middle daughter, Rebecca, solved the 3x3x3 for the first time this morning. Her first timed solve was 3:18. She is 6 years old. (She turns 7 later this month.)

We'll see whether or not I can persuade her to do the competition solves this weekend.

THAT'S REALLY COOL! I intend to do the same if I ever have children I hope to see her turn into a great cuber someday!

Wow, that's reviving an ancient post! It has been 12 years - she is now 18, and graduates from high school this year. Unfortunately she mostly lost interest in speedsolving, although she can still solve a cube fairly consistently in less than a minute.

But she did participate in the speedsolving community for a while. She and her older sister both were judges at the 2013 World Championships.

For bowtie I suggest:

F' r U R' U' r' F R
or
x' R U' R' D R U R' D' x

For headlights:

R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R
or
R U R' U R U2 R2 U' R U' R' U2 R

I actually use one or another depending of angle

gonna learn some ortega
only have to learn 4 algs

EDIT:nvm it's 3 lol

[TJardigradHe]

Today I got 4 sub 2 minute singles on 6x6. My new pb is 1:55.70, and I'm shocked. I average mid 2:20s and I'm gonna start practicing 6x6 more now.

 

[Deleted member 36445]

Today I finished learning pi and t colls. Now I'll focus on headlights and bow-tie, and finish coll (not gonna learn s/as)

Day 10 of Cubing (3x3) (I finished my first cube 10 days ago):
4 PB today:
39.21
38.84
36.44
35.10

No PB tomorrow certainly because I will learn the 21 PLL I think

 

[xyzzy]

777
single: 3:33.53 → 3:31.462
ao50: 4:08.x → 4:04.x
ao100: 4:14.x → 4:13.x

Cranking out more solves on them magnetic sevens. A few more hours of solving should make me solidly sub-4:00, but that'll probably have to wait for next weekend.

 

[aerocube]

just learned all of 4LLL,my times have gone up but that's to be expected lol,i had the same thing with f2l + i haven't solved in a few days and have just been trying to get the muscle memory for the alg set down

 

[aerocube]

just got my first sub 1 minute cfop single,57.78

hopefully i can push it lower and lower now

Nice to see you guys improve

I need one or two more 3x3 to practice COLL

 

[Apolo]

The 3 last days, I've focused on PLL learning and other thing. I've paused PB attempts but I still got my first sub 35 without really trying.
my previous pb was a PLL skip, the new one isn't which is encouraging.
As soon as I will know every PLL, I will try hard and I think I will be able to get sub 25 in a week

 

[the best d1mnd]

i just got my first sub-10 3x3 single on cam (not first ever, just first on cam)

If you want to try my scramble, i wrote it in the description

ortega is fun
i am now sub 15 on 2x2,(i am averaging 13-14 seconds rn)

 

[Apolo]

Got 4 PB today (3x3) and learned PLL Rb
30.04
32.42
32.94
33.64
Fun fact is that I'm super sick, I have slept 2 hours last night but I've still been able to make some progress (-4 sec).
Also my ao100 when from 49 to 46 (which is still way too high

I've learned that for the first time in my little french city, there will be an official competition in May so I will try to be sub 20 (Sub 18 ? I'm ambicious) for it
