GOD! Almost PB average.
16.09. My pb a12 is 16.08. =D Soon sub-16.

We've been neck-to-neck lately, I've noticed your averages have been right along with mine. I saw "Soon sub-16", and today I thought to myself, "I'm gonna get a sub-16 average today." YEAH! I BEATCHA THERE! haha

EDIT: 15.98 RA12, forgot to put that earlier.

Good job xD

 

[Zaxef]

if your aware of the accomplishment thread, why didn't you post it there?

Btw, nice average!

BUT THIS IS SUB 20 AND HES EXCITED WOOOO ^_^

Congrats~

Go for sub 19 now!

ty, that's the plan!

NICE! Race to sub-15? I know I'm 5 seconds behind, but that is irrelevant.

Haha, bring it on! I'm always trying to improve. I need to finish learning OLL's now, my sig hasn't been updated, and I don't even really know how many I know now but I haven't learned a new one in 2 weeks or so :fp

First, this was posted in the wrong sub-forum. This should be in Speedcubing Discussion.

Second, the rules for Speedcubing Discussion include:

4) Keep your accomplishment posts in the Accomplishment thread, and your easy scrambles in the Easy Scramble thread.

Is it lonely up on your high horse?

wow! sub - 20, that's nice xD im still sub -30 currently =.=

Thanks, sub 30 is good too! I was there not too long ago, a few months maybe

Who cares he's excited!
WOOOO!!!
I am about 5 seconds off sub-30.
Good work!

Keep at it! It's just practice

If anyone is wondering, I've been cubing since approximately my join date.. January-ish, so 9 months for sub-20.. I'm happy with that considering the amount of work I put into it, sub-15 here I come!

1:00:18.83 Gigaminx! I was hoping for sub-hour, but I had a weird pop that took me 5 minutes to fix. The screw on one of the sides must have been super loose, because the spring shot the screw into the center cap! Not only did the center cap come off, but the screw also shot out of the puzzle! That was one of the strangest pops I've ever had!

I'm glad to say simply that I can solve the thing!

Chris

P.S. This puzzle is really amazing because it has (60!)^3 * 30! * 20! * 2^26 * 3^19 / (5!)^24 possible states!

You know a puzzle is badass when it not only has a factor of 60! in its total number of combinations, but when that factor of 60! is raised to the third power! Crazy stuff!

Knowing Chris, give him a month and he'll do it.

Here's my predictions by 2020 for Gigaminx bld (if people still solve gigaminx by then). Chris Hardwick. 1:23.41. 10 mins memo.

 

[Thomas09]

I got a QJ 4x4! Along with it, I got a sub 2 average! Too bad I was only using my stackmat so, I don't know the exact numbers, so I can't change my signature yet.

 

[LNZ]

Today the black Eastsheen 2x2 cube I ordered arrived. So I did alot of solves on this cube and I got 9 seconds. I used the method for a 3x3 cube. A 2x2 cube is a 3x3 cube with out a middle layer and edge cubies.

I'm begining to like the 2x2 cube now.

Wow! Um... why?!?! ;-)

Haha, in all seriousness, accounting for the "average" number of solved pieces at the scramble I could memorize a gigaminx using about 110 images or 37 journey locations. This would be roughly equivalent to doing a multi with three 5x5x5's and two 3x3x3's for me.

So to answer your question, I suppose I would be capable of solving it BLD, but why?!? ;-)

--edit--
^^^
Whoa big error in reasoning above! I was assuming I could use my base-24 memo method on a base-60 gigaminx, which wouldn't do so well haha. In that case, I would need a memo method were I would encode the face and the location on the face for each piece, so instead of each image representing two pieces, each image would represent one piece. This would effectively double the number of images I would use. I that case to memorize a gigaminx I would need 220 images or around 73-74 locations. Let's say 75 in case some orbits don't have a lot of solved pieces. For me this would be equivalent to a multi attempt of six 5x5x5 cubes and probably one or two 3x3x3's thrown in too!
