Now marks the end of my 5th day cubing. All day today I've been messing around really, not actually trying to get the best times. I started getting serious about it. I was getting 1:02.xx and 1:01.xx, Then finally, after my 5th day of cubing, I went sub-60!

My new Pb... 57.07!

hopefully by next week I'll be sub-50.

 

[qqwref]

Also, for kicks: (0,0) / (-3,0) / (3,3) / (0,3) / (6,0) / (0,1) / (-1,5) / (1,1) / (0,2) / (-3,3) / (-3,3) / (-2,2) / (3,0) / (0,3) / (0,3) / (-3,3) / (6,3)

Not bad. I got 11.42.

Most cubers think that an average of some kind shows the sub-ness. Although getting your first sub-60 solve is quite an achievement, I wouldn't consider you sub-60 by getting a 57.07.

 

[Meisen]

New pb's in avg of 5 (yesterday), 12 and 100 today. I'm beginning to think i might be regularly sub 20 by mid february (norwegian cube competition).

I had a single of 13.xx and several 15.xx today. Fun cube day

 

[Jake Gouldon]

I loosened my megaminx (mefferts) and the first few solves were consecutive PB's. I am now consistent sub-3 on minx.

also, the 3.52 is my new pb!

I just beat my 3x3 record again! Thrice is 2 days, twice today. It is now 11.33. What does this mean? At this rate I should be down to a 4 second PB within 4 days.

2x2:

3.11 avg 100.

2.54 avg 12

Spacebar ftw!

2x2x2: 3.66 avg of 12

Method: Ortega + a few CLL algs

Comment: I happened to know most of the CLL cases that came up during the average.

This is not actually an accomplishment for me, but for my sister Jade. I have yet to solve my Rubik's 360, and Jade saw me trying when we were hanging out yesterday. She asked if she could borrow it, and when I saw her again today, less than 24 hours later she was almost done. I watched as she got the last ball out of the middle and into the right dome

I told her the deal was that if she borrowed it, and figured out how to solve it, that she would have to teach me how to solve it Hopefully I'll soon also know how to solve a 360, thanks to her!

Square-1 average of 12: 19.17

(23.11), 18.30, 21.06, 20.72, 17.97, 18.91, 19.59, (17.08), 18.52, 18.43, 18.56, 19.65

No lucky solves.

Umm.. wtf?

(3x3)

9.60, 8.40, 9.51, 10.02, 10.63, 10.59, 9.44, (12.85), (8.20), 8.99, 9.26, 9.59 = 9.60 Average of 12

Only two lucky solves (the 8.99 was an OLL skip and the 9.59 was a PLL skip).

According to CTimer, my F2L average was 6.61 and LL was 3.14 (I don't really like these times, though, because the time used for OLL recog is accounted for in the F2L. )

Now, of course, you need to do this in your next competition!
