Yes! Nice 3x3 avg improvement for me: From 14.24 -> 13.43!
10.44 was PLL skip and some easy starts, but just awesome!
This was RA of 16 solves (13.76avg!) . First 12 was 14.31, next 13.90 -> 13.81 -> 13.69 then 13.43

edit: oh, and I used my new main cube, C4Y Purple with bright cubesmith stickers
edit2: just realized that last 5 were my avg5 PB 12.84! Previous was 13.5x, kinda funny that I beat it with that avg12 too.

[Ewks]

@Nowvrill: If I ever get to the sub-17 mark

@Konsta: Don't even dare thinking about getting any faster. I don't stand a chance at Finnish open if you do (well okay you'll beat me anyway if you get sub-15 or even sub-16).

@Konsta: Don't even dare thinking about getting any faster. I don't stand a chance at Finnish open if you do (well okay you'll beat me anyway if you get sub-15 or even sub-16).

I don't think I will break this PB too soon, mostly because I'm so happy about it.
And I'll be really happy if I get sub16 in Finnish open. My final time will probably be something like 20.5 or DNF with POPs. :rolleyes:
I'll take the risk and compete with this C4Y cube, even though it POPs quite easily if I'm careless or nervous.

I thought for sure I'd break my PB average but I screwed it up with two 17s. I ended up tying my PB average instead. I'm super happy though. I never expected sub-10! I was just solving and when I looked up it was sub-10. Woohoo!

Comment: 7 sub 45s, 3 sub 40s, 2 sup 50s (). I think I didn't have that many OLL parities in this average (maybe I did, I can't remember...)

Tip: For the E perm, I use: (L2' U' L U) y' (L' U' L U L' U' L U L' U' L) y (L' U L2) I like this alg more than the common ones because it's more reliable. (Fanwuq discovered the algorithm and I modified it so that it's more finger-tricky). For righties: (R2 U R' U') y (R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R') y' (R U' R2')

First Sub-20 average of 50, next goal, Sub-20 average of 100. I seem to be on a roll this evening. Hopefully I'll stay this consistent under 20 =)
