10.34, 10.90, 12.76, 8.55, 8.96 = 10.06

8.96 was pll skipped. On a stackmat.

[Raffael]

Yeah, another non-lucky sub-10, my second this week: 9.11

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

F2L was: y2 R' U L2 F' y2 U' L' U L U' L U L' U2 R' U R U y L' U2 L U' L' U L, which was really nice and smooth Then air jeff and H perm. 5.04 tps.

9.91

Do I count that as PB?

looking at your solution now I see we did the same thing, though I did it with cross on left. I also did U2 AUF before OLL and U2 AUF after PLL which based on all the L moves in your F2L I'm guessing you didn't. Mine worked out to be 46 moves, which is w/e tps.

But seriously, do I count this?

Edit: not counting it, since my first retry was 8.13. I hate how full-step and non-lucky are not always the same thing

Am I the only one who makes use of the obvious x-cross in this scramble?
x-cross: L2 U R2 B' L (5)
2nd+3rd:U R' U2 R2 U2 R' (6)
4th:L U' L' U y R' U' R U' R' U' R (11)

After this F2L in (22) I ended up with a 2-look-OLL and a u-perm:

OLL: y f R U R' U' f' (6)
L U L' U L U2 L' (7)

PLL: U2 + u-perm (12)

in total:47 moves.

I ended up with 15.57, which is about 0.5 tps slower than my usual.

EDIT: I just checked:
1-Look-OLL would have been:
F' L' U' L U L' U' L U F (10)

PLL after this: e-perm (15)

this would also sum up to 47 moves

 

[Yes We Can!]

YES!
First feet solve! ^^

7:05.36 (in minutes )

I spent around 1:30 with the N-Perm (I do mirrored J-Perm)

 

[Novriil]

Wow! I just got bored and solved my cube It was like... umm... 2 weeks? LL is pretty bad but F2L is SOOO GOOD! I got F2L done with like 13 sec? and time was still 36 :S but it's good after this break. LL is bad yes.. 2-loo execution is really bad.

// WOW! fazrulz you should make the new WR.. Congrats!

Omg this is so annoying... When I get a bad F2L then it's VERY GOOD LL, but when I get a good F2L then it's bad LL... all the times are under 40 but the best is still the first :S hands are cold too because the weather is pretty bad. I'll have more practise when school ends... cause then I have not so much to do. (nxt week is the last )

AHHHHH. So close to sub-20 single.

Stupid storebought cube that locks up.

I did this with my new method, that I call FF2L. Or freestyle f2l.

 

[Garmon]

Just got a PB on 4x4x4: Beat my PB by more than 10 seconds, I really don't know how:
1:18.02

 

[SimonWestlund]

10.34, 10.90, 12.76, 8.55, 8.96 = 10.06

8.96 was pll skipped. On a stackmat.

Isn't 8.55 faster than 8.96?

Awesome average!

I solved a cube with my feet, twice. In one night. Before this I had only solved it once, but I was bored, and there were lots of people around, so I started solving with my feet. Then right after I finish, a bunch of girls come up, so I have to do it again. Total time sitting and solving: 30 minutes.

You attract girls by solving rubik's cubes with your feet? wow

 

[soccerking813]

Yea. It proves that Cube=chick magnet, even in middle/high school sometimes.

 

[qqwref]

I solved a 4x4 with my feet once.

...I've never done a 3x3 with my feet.

 

[rachmaninovian]

lol imagine caging with 7x7 with feet...awesome! all the slice moves...
