First PB in about seven months.
  • Time: 13.18
  • Method: beginner method
  • Cube: GAN Mini M Pro
  • Scramble: R2 D' L2 R2 U B2 L2 F2 U2 L2 U2 F D F2 R2 U2 B U2 R' B2 R'
I just got a three second PB somehow. I never thought I'd get anywhere close to this. I guess very slight mixed feelings with it being so close to sub-10, but I'm stoked - can barely believe it.

I've tried reconstructing and can't even work out what I did, but it was a last layer skip.
  • Time: 10.01
  • Method: beginner method
  • Cube: GAN Mini M Pro
  • Scramble: D2 F2 L2 D L2 D2 L2 D R2 D B U L U2 F' U' L' D2 L2 F

EDIT: This was my 10,758th solve in this session on csTimer lol.

EDIT II: I'm not sure how many people around here remember solving with the beginner method, but you might recall there's a stage where you need to insert individual edge pieces (either left or right). Usually you need to do this maybe 3-4 times per solve (two if you're lucky). I only needed to insert one piece in this stage with this solve - so very lucky even before the last layer skip.

Getting a 10 with the begginer method sounds actually crazy xD Any idea of tour TPS ?

I'm not really sure. I don't think it would be that impressive. I have a GoCube, and based on that my turn count is usually like 90-120 moves or so, I think (has been a while since I've used it).

It is crazy xd and i tried the scramble its not that ez
Yeah, just a normal scramble with extremely lucky execution.

Wow you have a go cube.
There was once i got a lucky scramble, which gave me the PB 3x3 single of 7.84. Idk if my tps was faster that day, or it was really lucky.

Diansheng Galaxy 8 M:
ao12: 6:52.x → 6:33.002

What can I say, it's a solid upgrade from a Cubing Classroom MF8. Lowered my average by almost 20 seconds even as my times on big cubes in general have shot up 5+ seconds due to lack of practice.

(Cube borrowed from Cubewerkz, but now I'm tempted to actually buy one…)

Shaved a few more seconds off before returning the cube.

On one hand, might've been sub-10 if I didn't fumble on AUF for last layer recognition. On the other hand, still a PB.

Oh, and not counting FTO (since I only started that recently), this is my only PB single for anything cubing-related since December 2020 or so. Kinda weird to think about.

🧐 It seems like you used two hands in that OH single
Very nice solve, I must say.

pb single
generiert durch csTimer am 24.06.2022
Single: 5.08

Zeitenliste:
1. 5.08 F' L2 U2 B L' F B' L R2 U L2 U2 R2 F2 U D2 B2 U' F2 @2022-06-24 20:57:34

solution-wise ok but definitely my worst sub-5 fail yet
xxcross was decent despite being 5-gen but recognition for f2l3 was extremely slow (although it is quite an unfortunate situation after cross in terms of seeing pieces), ll execution wasn't super quick either but atleast it meant that ll was 1 look
