4x4x4 single: 49.86

Using my er... "method" (although I didn't really come up with anything in the method )

EDIT: 55.22 double parity

I've switched to your 'method'. My single is like 42 (i had a few solves where I got to LL at 5 but parity...) and my best average is like 51.

--edit--
best avg12 - 50.12
48.89, 53.85, 51.42, 46.91, 51.08, 50.10, 48.81, 51.79, 56.22, 48.32, 50.03, 44.31

Wow I thought that it would be rather difficult to get a sub 50 average with this method. I've clearly underestimated my own method

EDIT: Ah maybe you've tweaked my method slightly?

 

[MTGjumper]

lol ok I don't know much about parity on square-1. I thought it would just take 1 or 2 seconds to solve a parity or something

I normally do an O perm to solve parity, which I average ~4 seconds in normal solve (I've had 3.5x averages when timing it). My PB for it is 3.15, I think. So, parity adds on a fair bit of time.

EDIT: Ah maybe you've tweaked my method slightly?

I haven't tweaked a thing. I don't do 3-2-2-2 pairing necessarily every time, but thats only because a bunch of edges are already paired I just was sub1 with both K4 and Reduction, and this is a mesh of the 2.

--edit--
best avg for now - 48.97
46.91, 51.08, 50.10, 48.81, 51.79, (56.22), 48.32, 50.03, (44.31), 44.94, 50.78, 46.90

Ah ok, fair enough.

Ah I didn't think about using edges which have been already paired. Good idea. (Wow this is the greatest shower idea I've ever had.... (an idea I've thought up of whilst taking a shower ))

Can any one tell me where I can know more about Robert's "Method"?

Wow. That's amazing. I just tried it and got

[Ashmnafa]

Hurray.

First sub-20 solve (and PB)- 19.91 (non-lucky)
New PBA - 26.50

 

[dbax0999]

Congrats ashmnafa! And you got the 6000th post!

I restickered my black v-5 with bright cubesmith stickers. Applying them wasn't too bad, but removing the old ones was hell.

 

[hawkmp4]

Solved an actual Gigaminx! (Dan Hayes')
Dropped my competition Megaminx times by over 40 seconds.

You're so much better than me :/. I'll try the scrambles tomorrow when I'm not tired.

3x3 in 17.84. OLL skip. Half forced. I used a ZBF2L alg, but the corners were oriented as well. Please pm me on whether this is considered lucky.

Lol "MATYAS"

Today was just the first day of my holidays. Also, I lubed my aII, and its uber smooth. I hope to have a sub 10 avg 12 up on youtube by the end of the holidays.

Btw, if you're thinking I should've rolled it, I did, and got 2 high 11's
