almost personal best of 12 but it was my p.b of 5

Non-lucky PB:

7.70 (0,3) / (6,-3) / (0,1) / (6,2) / (0,2) / (-3,2) / (6,4) / (0,5) / (5,4) / (4,0) / (0,2) / (2,0) / (5,4) / (4,4) / (-4,2) / (-2,4)

Not to rain on your parade, but getting really fast sq1 times without skipping a step usually means that the whole thing was so insanely easy, that to not count it as lucky is just silly.

I just quickly checked out the scramble, and if you got the same as I did, CO was one move, EO was almost completely set up to the second easiest EO, CP was J/J, one move to set up, and EP was adj/adj, which could be seen way in advance. That's about as lucky as a "non-lucky" solve gets.

I finished off with a (1,0) / (-1,2) / (-2,-2) / (3,0) / to force an EP skip. It had a fairly normal cubeshape too. Well, full step anyway.

I didn't think the cubeshape even needed mention it was so easy >.< . I really should memo that alg sometime, it is a goody.

FINALLY! I know...this would be horrible to most of you but this is a my best so far! 49.96 My goal was to get at least one time in the 40's. I slowed down and tried to make "smart" moves and when I set the cube down I could not believe my eyes. Just goes to show that turning speed isn't the key..."smart" moves are.

Thanks again everyone for your help! I never thought I would be able to do this...of course...my goal of 30's is a little closer but still far away.
 
5x5 avg of 12 earlier today:
1:53.67, 1:56.75, 1:44.54, 1:35.32, 1:45.08, (2:00.50), 1:52.78, 1:33.07, 1:50.11, 1:37.15, (1:30.42), 1:47.69 = 1:45.62

best avg of 5: 1:39.31 (last 5 solves)

1:30.42 is my single PB, and it could've definitely been sub 1:30... I also had a couple of sub minute reductions today I messed up...

Thanks Dan! xD

Keep at it! Getting a sub-30 is the best feeling in cubing. It all goes downhill from there.
 
Unbelievable 5x5 times:

2. 2:35.08
3. (2:56.59)
4. 2:41.25
5. (2:31.53)

I had never gotten a sub-3 average of 5 before this. Previous PB single was 2:39. :D
