id like reconstruction before i believe a second of this lol

Closed off a session of 10000 solves with a total of 95 sub-10s in it (May 2019 to today); last 10k session had only 53 sub-10s (late Dec 2018 to Apr 2019). Average of 10k also dropped by about 0.4 sec between the sessions (14.343 → 13.946). Improvement's been slow, but at least it's there!

(I'd have rushed out the last 300-ish solves to close it off before the new year, just so the boundaries would align nicely with the calendar months, but real life got in the way.)

Same here. We see fake solves like this all the time. I want scramble and recon before I blieve

 

[UPerm]

How did you get that?
PS how come you average 28-50ish?

Because thats what i get. I just happen to skip f2l in this scramble. Plus i suck at f2l

Sry, but i dont have the scramble cuz it was my bro who scramble but i just keyed in the time and was too lazy to bother keying in the scramble. Sry. So i cant do recon.

 

[G0ingInsqne]

imagine skipping f2l

i want your scrambles please they may improve my times by 60 percent too

If your brother scrambled it and gave you a scramble that let you skip F2L, then it wasnt scrambled well enough and you probably shouldn't count it as a legit sub 6 or PB.

I 4th this argument

Many years ago, while using the ZZ method, I did the EO-line, then I got F2L-skip AND OLL-skip ! I got a G-Perm but I didn't know the alg very well and I messed up the cube. DNF! If only it had been a J-perm!
I should have done a J-Perm and U-Perm, but I was a little too surprised and stressed by the situation.
I still can't believe it. It was a hand scrambling, and I was interrupt before I started the solve. Not sure about what I really did.

I've got a sub4 when my friend scrambled the cube to me. The solve was like 6 moves.

Lesson of the day: Never count a hand scramble as your pb

100% real

I got sub-WR on a fake scramble that I practiced for an hour

Edit: And what's with the crossed out 1 second time?

 

[KingCanyon]

Just got my first sub 1 on 4x4 with Yau, a 56.74! It’s not my PR as I have a 49 with reduction, but it’s progress with Yau even though it was pretty lucky.

Edit: Also just got a PR 5x5 single, a 1:43.

The 1 sec was scrambled by his sister

 

[fortissim2]

Gonna be honest, you probably don't deserve a Gan i for a F2L-skip hand scramble.

 

[weatherman223]

If you're willing to fake solves for internet points, you should buy the cube yourself. Good thing your mom wasn't there.

That was somehow keyed in foolishly by my other younger brother. Left the com on and he just tried to trick me.

You're using csTimer. There's no reason to not use the scrambles at the top of the screen. Clear out your entire session and start anew, and this time, use only those scrambles. If you want to try out scrambles from elsewhere (e.g. your brother, or your other brother, or however many siblings you have), make a separate session to time those.

Sorry guys, made a mistake. My bro did a bad scramble so I guess can't count that as my PB. Hope you all can forgive,

That’s ok. I would suggest using something like cstimer to generate scrambles.
Also, don’t be discouraged from cubing by the comments from others. They were just a little annoyed that you used a hand-scramble. Have fun and keep cubing!

Yeah it’s ok. Actually, I pretty much always use hand scrambles. I just make random turns for a while, then do r u r u for a bit to get rid of any like lucky skips.
