[Swordsman Kirby]

I was playing with Miniminx last night,

Sounds like a good mod name!

 

[MiloD]

so...... i did it.....2:55.69 on 5x5; my first sub 3.

 

[Lofty]

20.60, (18.48), 24.36, 22.19, 21.36, (24.85), 19.30, 23.55+, 21.04, 18.96, 23.41 20.46
Average= 21.51 SD= 1.82
Slightly faster than yesterday. I just got back from rock climbing so may hand was kinda tired but I still managed to do 68 solves... Tho I have had averages very close to this one this one made me realize sub-20 really is in my grasp. Idk if it was just that my hand was tired before going in but it didn't seem like it took as much effort as it used to get good times.

 

[mikatzz]

ive been cubbing like 3-4 months now, it was my first time i checked my avg and my avg of 10 was 01:24:50 It could be better if id learn all Oll and Pll algs, but i don't have much time for them duo school

 

[slncuber21]

ok it isnt much of an accomplishment, but i memorized 2 PLL algs today and i think i got faster at my F2L

It's not a mod though, it's just a Meffert's minx They're so much tinier than the Chinese ones though, it's pretty friggin awesome.

 

[Dene]

New personal best, 14.77 non-lucky . Great X-cross, 2 slots already had corners in. Sune, V-perm.

 

[FU]

Just did an average of 100, not very pleasing.

Average of 100: 19.54
Best Average: 17.65

It really wore me out after 50 solves, and I got lots of solves above 20 after that halfway mark. Screwups on crosses and wrongly executed PLLs made it worse. I have to practise more, and I will

Finally...

Now I just need to do that in competition.

wow! amazing average! congrats man!

 

[Dene]

He stole my word ^^ This is amazing, Mr. Baum, that puts you up a place on the UWR page!! And indeed, getting that in a competition would straight up cut a second of the current record average, go for it!

 

[samwillan]

I've been cubing for 2 weeks now and yesterday I got these times:

Average: 1:14.00
Individual Times: 1:06.41, 1:25.27, 1:13.76, 1:09.17, 1:18.66, 1:17.48, (1:28.44), 1:20.28, (54.67), 1:07.50, 1:12.81, 1:08.67

54.67 is my pb but I skipped OLL

I know 7/57 OLL and 6/21 PLL so I have a lot to learn



Great average Jason

 

[Mike Hughey]

Yes!!! Finally!!!

3x3x3: 28.61 28.20 29.62 (25.58) 27.20 25.67 (37.80) 25.62 30.08 32.09 30.81 28.22 = 28.61 average!

And shortly after that I got a 23.95 non-lucky single solve. I was beginning to think I'd never go sub-30 average, but I finally did it. It took me more than a year to get there. (All that time on big cubes blind didn't speed things along, I'm sure. )

I'm really glad I learned all the OLLs. They're finally mostly reasonable speed now (at least for me - I'm still slow compared to most of you guys on them). I'm sure that my F2L needed more work, but I had decided the quickest and easiest way to sub-30 for me was to learn the OLLs, and I'm now convinced I was right. For most people, I'm sure the best approach is to work on F2L, but if you're really badly stuck above 30 seconds, I recommend learning the OLLs - at least it's a way to get unstuck.
