Nothing impressive but I finished my fastest unlucky solve today 50.1 seconds, I would have gotten a 42 second solve but I missed a turn on the PLL so I could not count that time, lesson learned...rushing is bad! Most were just under a minute or 2 to 4 seconds over. Prior to this I was unable to average below 1:30. The difference has been the look ahead and actually slowing down while I perform F2L. I have a ways to go however, from Monday of this week with very little practice I've managed to drop nearly 20 seconds on average so that is pretty significant for me. I am hoping to can continue to drop the times. Thanks again everyone for the help!
 
HELLZ YEA!

SOO close to sub-13...
 
3x3x3 single: 7.43 (non lucky)

Move total: 55

Tps: 55/7.43 = 7.40 (2dp)

WTF

and you said you couldn't turn fast...
AND he had no 3-move pairs.
AND 90% of his F2L moves were R moves.
AND he's a lefty.

WTF.

I got most of my F2L algs from Dan Harris' site, which were mostly for righties, and I couldn't be bothered to mirror most of the algs at first which sorta explains my "mixed" handedness. However I did mirror most of the algs and learnt them later on in my cubing life...
 
Not sure if this is my PB one-handed average of 5, I can do better though. All non-lucky of course :D

haven't subbed 55s in a while, so this is nice. especially the 4.24 SD.

screw those lousy times. 46.01 could have been a sub 40 IF i didn't slip and take so long to recover and so long to recover my preslip tps >_>

EDIT:4x4

Good cubing day for my family :)

My 9 year old son got his first 3x3 solve and my wife had her first sub30 second solve (3x3) :)

Oh, and I tried my first 7x7BLD. Fail though... (but more on that in the correct thread )
 
I cut my U' finger so i can't cube at all. I do megaminx solves and i forced myself to do some OH, since that's my worst event. (Normally i NEVER practice OH at home.) After like 20 solves a scramble came and i got a new PB: 16.65 OLL skip.

That's my 2nd sub-20 ever, but it was ridiculously easy. In other way: i did a 32 move FMC in raughly 20 seconds. :)

Scramble: U2 B2 D' U2 R2 B L2 U' B D U2 L2 U2 B F2 R B R U2 D B' L U R' F

cross: y F U R L' U R U2 (7)
#1 pair: x2 y U2 L' U2 L (4) (It was forced, so i can pair up the next F2L, do you call it multi slotting?)
#2 pair: U2 L U' L' (4)
#3 pair: y R U2 R' (3)
#4 pair: y' R U' R' (3)
PLL: y L U' R' U L' U2 R U' R' U2 R (11)

I didn't spend too many time on pairing the F2Ls. :P
 
Sub-2 4x4

Yeah, I know, that is really slow, but it's good for me compared to what I normally get.

I would be able to do it consistently, but my 4x4 is a pile of **** (Rubik's).

I won against the swine flu! :D
Maan, that day yesterday was the hardest of all days when I was ill.

This night I had high fever, around 2:20 AM I called the police and told them there was a burglar at our flat. I really don't know why I did that ^^
After that I went sleeping again :P

PS: I had given the phone to my mother then, who explained, that there wasn't anybody, who wanted to rob us xD

I am improving on 7x7 every time I am solving it. =D I have timed my self four times. 1st time was 24 minutes (haha), second time was 17 minutes, third time was 16. The fourth one was 12 minutes! Great improvement. =P Soon to be sub-4. lol =P
