i got a sub 20 on 3x3 today.

 

[J41]

Just managed an 11.81, which is PB2, and PB on Stackmat (10.01 on keyboard). Pretty happy with that!

Was using YS3M UV. Honestly didn't love it at first, but it's growing on me.

My best accomplishment is now having my MAGevo sold online. Links in the Upcoming Puzzles thread!

Old PB single was a 1:08.x from 2018. Current rolling ao50/ao100 are still kinda trash (1:36-ish) and I doubt I'll be able to get back to my 2019 averages (1:26-ish).

Tried cubing again after like a year cause I was sick last week and got a new 3x3 on single on my second day back cubing. 5.88.

Bro… why do you lie. Look at you progression thread, you improved your ao5 by 10 seconds in 3 weeks. (From a 21 to an 11)

Pretty juicy scramble overall. I'm usually happy when I can get one pair planned in inspection, and I was able to get up to three here. I also got an insane sub 8 mean of three, but sadly wasn't able to convert it into a good ao5.

I mean, maybe it's not actually my PB, but I haven't been keeping track of my squan PBs because I stopped practising it after I got an official average. I'm sure I can push it down to 32-ish seconds anyway, but that'll have to wait for another time.

I got a pure official sub-1 average in 4x4 (57.07)

 

[Ianwubby]

Got a PB ao5 and didn't even realize until after the fact lol. Old PB 9.55, new PB 9.54.
Times: (8.53), 8.54, (11.35), 9.04, 11.04

The 8.54 is also a PB counting solve! Down from 8.59.

 

[xyzzy]

I doubt I'll be able to get back to my 2019 averages (1:26-ish).

You fool. All you needed to do was Play More(tm).

New megaminx PB ao50. (Old PB was 1:26.0x from December 2018.)

I can officially retire from cubing happy. I never, ever, ever thought I'd hit a sub-10 single. I am stoked.

Tornado V3 Flagship. A nice PB AO5 (16.69) and AO12 (18.75) whilst we're at it.

EDIT: I've never had to reconstruct anything, so please stick with me as there will probably be notation errors, but the 9.98 was something like this (LBL):

EDIT II: I've messed something up in the reconstruction around the start of the second layer, I think, and it's not quite 100%, but I hope you get the gist! 47 moves for me is unbelievably low.
