I solved the Octahedron.
I worked on it for a couple hours about a month ago, and sat down with it again for about another hour last evening.
My best right now is only around 7 minutes. Sub 5 will come with time, and if I learn some decent algs then sub 3 shouldn't be too hard. I can get corners and edges in about a minute, centers just take too long.

first ever timed megaminx solve (i got it yesterday) 12:05.17

single 3x3 pb: 20.67.
Last PB (22.1) was 8 days ago it was pll skip and full luck.
New pb is full step so I'm pretty happy.
Shitty cross.
Insane F2L, super lucky.
2 look OLL, one of the worst for me
Easy PLL.
Day 33 of cubing

 

[asacuber]

9.52 3x3 single with zz!!!!

 

[aerocube]

did some pyraminx,my pb is around 25 seconds now
learning pyraminx ll algs and practicing recognition
my headlights recognition for both cases on pyraminx is good,just practicing the last 3 cases

just wanted to share something funny that happened today

I picked the cube and did an H perm. then scrambled it and solved. the pll was an H perm.

that means that I would have a pll skip if I had scrambled a solved cube

 

[Apolo]

Just got my very first SUB 20
I'm so happy:
19.66 !
This one was PLL skip with normal cross and OLL (2 look) but I don't remember the F2L to be fair x)
Day 36 of cubing ! Still going

pyraminx gud
over the course of 3 days i dropped a 3 minute pb down to 17 seconds after finally learning ll algs yesterday

 

[aerocube]

skeeeeeewb
i FINALLY figured out how to do the last 3 centres and did 12 solves
got a pb of 26.39,tbh if i don't get a skip of some sorts i have no idea how i can get sub 20 w/ this method (sarah's beginner)

3:02.53 octahedron
Literally a 4 minutes drop
It was on the bus too, so I was trying to to turn to quickly because it's a rather loud puzzle.

Edges were quick and there were a bunch of solved centers already. I think I managed to use 3-cycle to solve 3 pieces most of the time, as opposed to just 2 or one. I'm very happy with this.

I just crushed my personal best on 4x4 with a 3:59 (yes, minutes). My goal is to be sub 2 minutes with my completely intuituve method, which looks achievable.

Edit: I'm down to 3:29. I've started practicing Roux on 3x3 since I realized that my 4x4 direct-solving method is just Roux if converted to the 3x3. I hope this will improve my lookahead, which is really the only thing making my times very slow. My 3x3 time is about 1:40.

Edit: 3:15

Edit: 3:03

 

[aerocube]

so i smashed my mega 10 min barrier and my pb is now 6:54.51
hopefully i can get to sub-6 by the end of today

 

[AbsoRuud]

I just took 13 seconds off my 4x4x4 PB which is now 1:59.69 for my first sub 2 minute solve.

 

[Benjamin Warry]

I just got a new 2x2 pb single of 0.59! The scramble was F2 R' U2 F' U F' U' F' U'.

 

[aerocube]

new skewb pb of 20.15
so close to sub 20

 

[aerocube]

decided to use balint s2l
beat my mega pb on first try
yeee

EDIT:2nd pb breaker in a row,5:57.01,am now sub 6
