Just Started Cubing Last week :O

non lucky - 1:05

avg of 5 - 1:17

avg of 12 - 1:16

how the heck is your avg of 5 slower than the avg of 12??????? :confused:

 

[edd5190]

Yup, OH is pretty fun.

Any advice for someone who just started?

Alex Yu, who got 2nd in OH at U.S. Nationals, advised me to "Use your pinky (for R'); you'll drop like 10 seconds."

Left handed?

Yep! (I actually have no proof of this other than the fact that there's no way you can do R' with your right pinky without looking like an idiot.)

Is it lucky or non-lucky if you get a WV case that you know and force an OLL skip?

Nonlucky because it was forced.

Only if you know over 20% of WV. If you don't, it's still lucky, because you're lucky that you ran into that case.

 

[Tim Major]

Sub 15 non-lucky? Or is it lucky. Please tell. B2 U B2 R2 L2 D L' F' R' L' U L' D R2 F D R B U' B F D2 U2 F' D2

Here's the video.

The main thing is OMG! Yay!

Edit: 2 reasons for this being so fast. This was an OLL I know, and my fastest PLL. The other reason is that, well, just try the scramble and you'll see the other reason.

nice scramble, also a nice time: 7.08 with pllskip
aaand started on yellow

PLL skip? Cool. Mind giving the solution?
