YEEESS! I'm finally sub 10 after 1 year 3 months and 1 day. I'm super satisfied with my solves and hope to get a sub 10 average in competition.

PB 4x4 single by over 5 seconds lmao
39.30 Second ever sub 45

 

[dudefaceguy]

4x4 progress: PB of 1:44, ao5 2:09. This average is 3.6x my typical time on 3x3, so quite good for an old man non-serious cuber. I feel that I could get much faster too - I'm just curious how far I can push this method.

I'm just curious how far I can push this method.

What method?

 

[Etotheipi]

This is crazy. Like 20 minutes ago I sat down to do some solves, and ended up doing a an Ao12. In that single Ao12 with no warm up, I beat my PB single, my PB Mo3, my PB Ao5, and my PB Ao12.
Heres my new and former PBs:
Single: 14.85 from 14.96
mo3: 16.40 from 18.51
ao5: 17.22 from 18.95
ao12: 18.89 from 19.96

What method?

An intuitive 4x4 method I developed which avoids odd edge parity, fixing it with a single quarter turn. Basically I don’t know any algorithms (besides Sune and Niklas) and I don’t want to learn any, so I made a method that doesn’t require any algorithms. It works for any NxN cube, though it gets less efficient as they get bigger. It’s similar to sandwich/Lewis. Here is a full explanation: https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/intuitive-4x4-method-with-parity-avoidance.73049/

I like to see how far I can get without memorized algorithms, since I will probably take long breaks from cubing and forget any algs I learn. This is why blindsolving is attractive - I can do it all with intuitive commutators.

I used to do CMLL with commutators as well, which was 1 look about 40% of the time, and let me do Roux without any memorized algs. But now I use a 2-look CMLL method using 2 commutators and 2 algs (Sune and Niklas which are technically commutators also).

first sub-10 with Petrus!
It was my first solve of the day too lol.

223 was one-looked.
My U-Perm exec was pretty bad and slow because I had a weird grip after OLL

First counting sub-10 in an ao100 for me.

Also, finally a sub-2:30 rolling ao100 for 666:

Somehow I broke my pb twice in a four solve session. Now its 13.95 O_O

 

[KingTim96]

First recorded sub 1 min average for me on 4x4, yau method and using an aosu. Got my gts2 m in the mail and hit another sub 1min average of five and got a 48s single. Yayyyyyy.

 

[NevEr_QeyX]

1:07.17 5x5 PB single

First sub 1:10

yay

 

[Apolo]

after 416 days of cubing (Solved my first one on 21 of february), I just did my first sub 12 ao100
So glad of this. Now let's get sub 10 by the end of the year !!!

Gj! Your sig says you are already sub-10 though, is that for Ao5 or something?

Thanks, and I just changed it, it was about single but yeah, it's confusing

 

[icarneiro]

I don't believe what I'm going to say -> "I'm really enjoying Square-1 hahaha"

I bought it 8 months ago, solved it with a tutorial, and I hated it.
Yesterday I decided to give it another try,... I found a tutorial on youtube very well explained.
I was able to solve it in 4 minutes without needing help, looking at algorithms, tutorial.... (First solve)

Today I already did 10 solves (just in my memory, without help), and I just got my PB: 1min39s !!


I know, this time is very bad, but as I hated this event (thought it's IMPOSSIBLE), I was very happy, now I'm determined to practice more this event. =)
