Improved today, 2nd solve 56m38s

Down to ~42m now on 7x7, but today my last edge looked like a checkerboard - I didn't even know about *double* edge parity!

 

[vidcapper]

I may not be fast, but I still get the same rush from beating my PB's - eg, I beat my 6x6 pb by 7 minutes today - how many people can say that...

In case you were wondering, from a total of 15 solves.

11x11 in < 11. Only took me about two dozen attempts!

I have a question. Have you even used a physical cube before?

14x14 Rubik's cube solved in 16:06.796

Luckily, it didn't take me two dozen attempts this time. No end-stage issues either.

After an absurd amount of trying I finally broke my 3x3 average. I'm now down to 15.31, and this one's probably going to stand for a while

Here are the replays for anyone interested:

I am finally upgrading myself to sub 27s global! I finally have all averages at or below 1,000 less than 27s!

Here's some PBs and improvements compared against my August 1st stats. I am stoked to see the large improvement in my ao50 and ao100 because i know that means the ao1,000 will follow soon!

ao12: 23.20 --> 0.37s improvement
ao50: 24.78 --> 1.47s improvement
ao100: 25.25 --> 1.01s improvement
ao1000: 26.99 --> 0.36s improvement

I broke 45 seconds yesterday for the first time with a 44.02 single. I know that’s nothing compared to what some of you can do, but it’s a big step for me! Now hopefully I’ll be able to keep dropping my average down to even lower!

Congrats! breaking any PB something worth celebrating!

In that case, I got my 1st sub 10m 5x5 solve today...

After many tries, I finally managed to solve the 15x15 Rubik's cube in less than 20 minutes.
