sub-38 megaminx ao100! Another second barrier broken! Hopefully I can get that North American champion, assuming the competition actually happens!

Bonus: Here's the last ao5 from the 37.86 ao100

I'm getting close to a 2:20 average on 4x4 using my parity-less intuitive method (https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/intuitive-4x4-method-with-parity-avoidance.73049/). This is 4 times longer than my 3x3 time of 35 seconds, which is a normal ratio according to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cubers/comments/cvyshz . This is great because it means that the method is somewhat viable for speedsolving. I hope to get sub-2-minutes soon. This would be 3.4x my 3x3 time, which is about as fast as I will be able to get on 4x4. My PB is 2:03 so it’s looking good.

I also solved a square 1 mostly without help, which was a lot of fun. I had always avoided square 1 because I heard it was all algorithms, but it can actually be very intuitive and fun. I got to use many of the algorithms and commutators that I made up when learning SSC method.

Edit: first sub-2-minute single on 4x4 woooooo! It was full-step too, so I feel pretty good about that.

got a new PB single: 6.29, this time on stackmat

generiert durch csTimer am 18.03.2020
Single: 6.29

Zeitenliste:
1. 6.29 U' F2 D' B2 U2 F2 U B2 L2 R2 U' L' B F L' U B2 D B' D2 R2 @2020-03-18 20:18:35

x2 // Inspection
D' F L' U2 L D' R // X-Cross
R' U' R y U' L' U L // 2nd Pair
U R U R' y U' R' U' R // 3rd Pair
y' R U R' U2 R U' R' // 4th Pair
U cube drop and probably a lot of rotations U // AUF

31 moves = 4.95 TPS lol

pretty much the opposite of my last pb, ll skip and terrible tps.
I missed an easy low to mid 5 but oh well #jay#keaton

This is the 3rd ll skip I got, one was with zz and the other one not timed.

6.38, same solution. Actual PB is 12.22 lol

I just did my first blind solve! I failed because of 3 misplaced edges, which means that I successfully executed all of the commutators except one! I call that a personal victory. I’m going to try again with the same scramble.

Edit: I tried the same scramble three more times, failing twice and then succeeding.

Second edit: Yeeeeees! My first actual success with memorizing and executing on the first try. I did write down the memo, but only after I had already memorized it. I just wanted to be able to check it after the solve to diagnose any problems.

The edge memo actually made me laugh out loud: the world record holder in toilet paper laxatives (electromagnetic) sponsored by A&W root beer - impressive CV. Blind is so fun!
