Congratulations Tim! That's about the same time per cube (3 minutes) as Mátyás needs. I am already looking forward to the German Open!

But don't expect me to beat any records, my accuracy is still horrible.
And btw. won't you come to the Belgian Open?

 

[AvGalen]

Yes I will be there, but I didn't know you and Mátyás would be there too. I was expecting you to both be there in Germany though.

 

[Speedy McFastfast]

3-5 relay: 6:10. The 5x5 solve was probably my PB, but of course I don't know it's individual time!!

hey Zac, did you ever get a new ES 5x5 core?

I bought a new 5x5 off my friend months ago dude, lol. I used its core with the tiled pieces I have. I need a new 5x5 though, it feels like it wants to pop a lot.

On another note, 1:47 4x4 time. Almost PB, and my 4x4 sucks right now.

 

[Dene]

Another OH average of 12 record, 56.43. I think there will be a new record every time I attempt it lol

Another OH average of 12 record, 56.43. I think there will be a new record every time I attempt it lol

Congrats! Keep working on that OH!
I wish the same was true for me...

 

[slncuber21]

Shaved .18 off my pb lol Now just to shave off 1 second and catch it on video. Best RA of 50 solves.... this was the last solves. I realize every solve I do falls into 2 categories. One where my look ahead is good- f2l in around 10 final time 17-23. One with little to no look ahead f2l around 15 final time 24+... The 23's are just average look ahead.

 

[disneypotter]

My personal best (lucky solve) for the 3x3 is 37.32 seconds.
Best average of twelve: 52.68

 

[pjk]

I did an avg of 12 for 4x4, then for 3x3, then for 3x3 OH today. Set my new PB for 4x4 with avg of 1:14, with several sub 1:10 solves, and 1 sub-min solve. My 3x3 avg was quite slow, just over 17. My 3x3 OH avg was 35 seconds, a little above avg. However, I am happy with my 4x4 times. Done on my new $13 4x4 They are sweet.

Yay! New OH pb avg

just the 20.91 was lucky (PLL skip)

 

[slncuber21]

pretty much getting a new avg. every other day! around 1:18 this time. going down slowly but surely!

 

[darkzelkova]

Getting your time down is easy up until about a minute... that is when it gets harder.

 

[FU]

Sub-19 average! I think I was quite lucky to have smooth solves all the way

[slncuber21]

i finally timed myself on the 4x4 and i got 7:20

really horrible i think... what was your guys' first times (if you remember them)

 

[Mike Hughey]

My first 4x4x4 solve was several days. But then I figured it out myself, based on what I knew from the 3x3x3. My second one was about an hour, I think.

It wasn't until I started speedcubing last year that I got below ten minutes. So I think you're doing fine for a start. Then again, I'm still pretty terrible on the 4x4x4. (My best avg of 10 is almost 2:15, although I suspect I could get around 2:00 now.)

 

[ExoCorsair]

I successfully submitted all my college apps to my reach/dream schools (Duke, Yale, Stanford, Harvard)!

Okay, it's not a cubing accomplishment, but I can focus a little more on the cube.

 

[Cerberus]

Today the package arrived and now i finally got an "big" 2x2, diy 3x3 and megaminx ^^

Megaminx took half an hour to solve without solution, 2x2 avg was 17, want to get sub 15 (so i need a little little bit affort this evening). DIY has to proof itself the following days

 

[masterofthebass]

The big 2x2 doesn't move that well. a 17 sec avg is pretty good. I usually get a 6-7 sec avg on an ES and on the big one,it drops to about 14.

 

[Cerberus]

sorry that "big" 2x2 is the eastsheen, it is just big, because my last 2x2 was as big as a keychain 2x2, about fingertip, so now one cubie of the 2x2 is bigger than the whole last cube ^^
