I solved the 4x4 Cane Ball via 2x2 reduction! This is 4x4 shape mod with 8 colors; each color is composed of 7 pieces that once solved make up a "2x2 corner" of a 4x4. I'm not sure what the color scheme of this puzzle is but it doesn't matter, the challenge and solve process is really using commutators to solve the 4x4 into a 2x2 reduced state.

This is the intuitive solve I'm most proud of because I really solidified my knowledge of commutators for centers, edges, and corners on big cubes. So pumped! It was a really interesting solve because none of the colors match when you're solving each center & edge pair. I'm quite elated right now!

Sub-20 single

My biggest accomplishment was getting a sub 40 since I started three months ago. My goal is sub 30 by the end of summer.

Accomplished completing the second layer of the 3x3.....new cuber here! See progress below! Would be great to visit any of your video's so I can get tips from the experienced here on this board.

Got a new pr just a few minutes ago. 25.64 seconds on 3x3. Still looking for first sub 32 average. my friend got a new pr for himself, something around 36 about 2 months after I taught him. He's looking for sub 30, I'm looking for sub 25. Good luck to both of us.
Edit: that was fast. Just got 24.95! Finally.

Nice!
Tip: Practice a lot.

this weekend was a good weekend for me, after about three weeks of just drilling f2l i started doing timed solves again, on saturday i hit a new PB of 37 seconds (from my 40 second PB i set over a month ago that i couldnt seem to get anything under 45 seconds afterwards!) sunday i started doing timed solves and after getting two 37 second solves and one 38 i hit 34! (all 3x3)

the lower that number gets the longer the progress seems to take or maybe im just old and slow I'm just going to chalk it up to "lucky scramble"

 

[ottozing]

First ever sub 20 in FMC. I've had 20 as my PB since mid 2016 and tied it probably a dozen or so times. Scramble itself isn't even that great (only one 18 optimal according to NISSY which doesn't seem humanly findable, no sub 5 move EO's even with NISS, and no particularly obvious block building starts)

Too much pressure on the last solve, I just needed an 8.7 to get a sub-8 average! In the end it is a nice average though.

Getting so close to averaging sub-1 on megaminx! Just need to focus a little more...

 

[CubeEnthusiast15]

13.58 3x3 single. the crazy thing is my avg solve is about 22-28 seconds and my previous pb was 18.588
