Sub minute Team Solve with my friend who can barely average that fast!
He does not know full 4LLL so we used only A and U PLL and Sune and Niklas and their anti's and of course the two main EO algs.

I got my first sub-40 time of 37.84. Woo. I probably could've gotten better, but I got too anxious after all the f2l pairs seemed to match up in tandem, after I inserted each. I also got an OLL skip, after I inserted the last pair...

 

[Kenneth]

I'm happy

Reason: I just made my first sub 30 average in over 25 years (last time was spring 1982).

Average: 29,16

Times: 31,33 (31,63) 28,40 27,63 28,59 28,06 30,04 30,78 (22,46) 25,96 30,85 30,00

Only 22 was a bit lucky, easy F2L and then it was one of the ZBLL's i know.

Built a siamese cube today. First attempt, and the pieces aren't too bad. I just used an old cube that was missing all of the center caps. Now I can use any 2 cubes with these extra siamese pieces!

 

[Dyste]

It was amazing. It would've probably mattered more if I was better/faster, but I just got a whole last layer skip, while going for the last layer cross. 0:31.72

 

[masterofthebass]

Hmm... I wouldn't consider that a LL skip if you did the F R U R' U' F'. Because that is an OLL, it would just be a PLL skip. If you actually had a LL skip, congratulations on joining the club. I know people who've been cubing for plenty more than me and haven't gotten one yet.

 

[masterofthebass]

Woo Hoo! Sub-1 4x4. 58.58 without parities. I knew after the centers that it should be a good time. I still paused way too much, and my LL was slow, but still a sub-1.

 

[Jack]

I did the cube simulator blindfolded in about 6:56 on my first try. I've had 3 attempts now, all were successful (best was about 5:45).

Second average of 100 for master magic today was 3.129!!

Tied my single PB (2.63) three times, but couldn't break it~!

50% of my solves were sub-3 here, 60% sub-3.10, 80% sub-3.50... Pretty happy!

Best RA (10/12) was 2.90 -
2.89 (2.71) 2.81 2.97 (3.29) 2.87 2.81 2.93 2.93 3.00 2.81 3.18 2.74

VERY pleased, I just hope I can do something like this at the VA Open!

 

[Dyste]

I got an incredibly cooperative scramble. I have no idea how I even got sub-30, with 28 seconds, but I have progressed a lot this week. My average just doesn't show it...

 

[FU]

First sub-20 solve, non lucky! Was 19.xx, unfortunately timed with my handphone at Macdonalds, can't get it to be any more accurate.

edit: got sub-20 solve, 19.12 with a jnet scramble later in the day

and, almost 2 months of cubing, new average 10 of 12 of 25.32s

Fun master magic average . CCT froze so i had to force quit it... One day I'll have the sub-2...

 

[masterofthebass]

Average: 2:01.50
Individual Times: 1:59.59, 2:02.91, 1:58.75, 2:04.16, 2:02.88, (1:45.36), (2:10.91), 2:05.80, 1:54.43, 2:02.43, 1:57.13, 2:06.96

argh... so close.

 

[h3ndrik]

first sub 30 avg using roux, after about 1 week without cubing.

 

[tim]

first sub 30 avg using roux, after about 1 week without cubing.

not cubing for one week is probably the bigger accomplishment

i got a 20.0xs average two days ago, so close to sub-20...

 

[Jack]

I set my PB of 2:08.86 on 5x5 at the Toronto Open. Also sub 20 OH!

 

[TheBB]

New PB average. I beat my previous one by nearly a second!

17.56, 15.16, 18.10, 17.25, 19.73, 20.73, (14.93), 20.54, 15.93, 18.50, 18.96, (21.56) => 18.24

 

[Jason Baum]

Wow... what a big night for me! I got my first sub 12 average using ZB:
12.27, 12.55, 11.31, 11.47, 11.85, 12.62, (12.84), 11.66, 12.17, 11.80, (08.31), 11.88 = 11.96 average

That 8.31 is also a new best single solve for me and it technically was not lucky. Here's the scramble/solution:
Scramble (cross on bottom): R' L' B F2 R2 B2 F' D' F B D' F' R' B2 U' B U R2 L2 B' L' B D' U2 L2
XCross: y' L' D2 R' U y' R' F'
2nd Pair: y U2 R U' R'
3rd Pair: y' R U R' U' R U R'
ZBF2L: y' U R U' R' U' y' R' U' R
ZBLL: R' U' R U' R' U' L U' R U L' U'
Because I know more than 20% of ZBLL, PLL skips with COLL are technically not lucky for me anymore. I love this method!

Now... where in the world were these times last Satuday? >_>

 

[Lofty]

Congrats Jason! Very nice average!
ZB avg video?

 

[slncuber21]
