PB average in clock, getting close to global sub-15 now.

On the other hand, I genned over 400 5-style algs yesterday, so a satisfying cubing day overall, L' F' E' F L' F E F' L2.

I just broke a bunch of pbs! 2X2 i got a pb average of 4.29 and a really great single of 1.85 (it was more like a 1.50 but I missed the spacebar, also I use Ortega), a pb pyraminx average of 7.90 (i use lbl) a pb 4x4 average of 1.45 minutes and a pb 4x4 single of 1.21 minutes. So I'm really happy with this, i got a pb average and single in all the events i do with a few exceptions (no 3x3 pbs, but i got a pb single and average a few days ago, scroll up. And no pyraminx single, but i did get a pretty good 5 second solve in that average)

it was more like a 1.50 but I missed the spacebar,

It's very frustrating when it happens. At least it wasn't your first sub-1, that would be sad

First time getting all four pairs in inspection? kinda sorta?

D2 B2 L2 B' D2 B' L2 B' D2 U2 F2 R2 D' F' D B U R' D R F

white cross is very easy, just y' z2 in inspection, then L D' R' D2. blue/red and blue/orange pairs are obvious, U R U' R' inserts blue/orange without disturbing blue/red, which I could insert with r' F U' R U M. I also saw that the green/orange edge piece would end up in the back left slot, and traced the corner to the front left with a L U L2 U' L insert. (recreating the solve now it turns out I didn't even trace it correctly but I traced it so incorrectly it actually ended up in that spot anyway. Neat.) Anyway turns out that after the first two pairs, green/red, the only pair I didn't plan for, ended up as a three mover after the first two pairs... that you insert with L U L'. Which I was doing anyway for green/orange.

Anyway I finished F2L sub 6 with a lot of lock-ups (my cube is still super tight because that's the only way I can control it until I bother to buy some new lube) and with a lot of insecurities about my planned solution, got super excited, and messed up the OLL algorithm and ended up with a 16. (I average mid 13.)

New PB average!

 

[Ianwubby]

First sub-11 avg of 12 and first sub-12 avg of 100, as well as a pb avg of 50! First pbs for anything in 3x3 since 2020, I've only been cubing on-and-off since then and haven't really worked that hard to de-rust.

Average of 12: 10.97
10.10, 9.82, 11.14, 11.71, 9.99, (9.56), 11.38, 11.43, 11.31, (16.37), 11.33, 11.53

Average of 50: 11.65

Average of 100: 11.97

Like the third time I've beaten my ao12 PB in the past week. Not quite sub 12 but I'm still really happy with it. The 12.23 should have been a mid 11 but I failed at stopping the timer :/

long time cfop user, FINALLY got around to learning roux and i'm really enjoying it

I find Roux on 3x3 way more enjoyable. And I still use CFOP on the bigger cubes so it's actually more divers as well.

agree 100%, Roux actally gives you a sense of solving the cube

 

[Flowkap]

And you can do slice moves. It's always fun to do slice moves.

Been using about 2 years. My accomplishments so far:

• learned rubiks cube move notation, comms and conjs
• CFOP and kept practicing
• basics of Roux (need to relearn)
• 1 bld solve (OP/OP)
• full PLL
• 3x3 30s avg
• 2x2 12s avg
• able to solve 4x4, 5x5 etc. (parity algs and center comms)
• Learned how to solve some subgroups <R,U>, half turns etc.

For future I want to learn: More F2L. Moyu/Roux for 4x4. basic FMC. FTO.

I started cubing in 2018, learnt the Beginner's Method then CFOP. I averaged around 16-20 secs with full OLL and PLL and a little VLS knowledge. Then I stopped in 2019 cause I didnt have a cube and my parents didnt get me one anymore.

This year though, I finally bought a cube and I am proud to say that I remembered everything i learnt before so i didnt have to totally relearn everything I had learnt before. Now I averaged around 16 secs and I hope to be sub-10 before June/July.

 

[cuberswoop]

Got a sub-10 single yesterday which was fun.

 

[Garf]

I got a 2:37 BLD single yesterday. It was a success, too.

PB?

 

[Garf]

PB?

PB. I can't wait until I know all my letter pairs. Memo will be a piece of cake after that.

 

[bulkocuber]

PB. I can't wait until I know all my letter pairs. Memo will be a piece of cake after that.

You mean just corners memo right? Or do you make a list for edges' audio memo as well?
I'm asking this because imo having a list of edges' letter pairs is almost useless, but maybe I'm wrong.
(I'm assuming you use audio memo for edges)

 

[Puzzlerr]

New pbs! 2x2 1.54 solve, i barely saw the time before my timing app crashed so i don't have the scramble. But i finally got a sub 14 3x3 single, 13.98, it probably would have been better, but i looked up for a second and saw i was done with oll at 10 seconds and knew i could get a pb, so my hands were shaking, forgot to take picture of scramble :/
