Believe me ,it's a very useful skill!

I would like to believe you.....................but I don't

But what if you were trapped in a room with your hands cuffed to the wall behind your back, and the handcuffs could be opened by a remote control signal that would be sent from a rubik's cube that's held by a chain to the floor in front of you as soon as it was solved?

Oh, I guess that's not a very common scenario - never mind.

lol. i think you are posting from a mental hospital?

20.29s for the 3x3 non-lucky.. semi fridrich although i only know 6 OLL and about 8-9 PLL and instinctive F2L.

trying to be more consistent, im still getting above 32s occasionally.

amazing i just decided to cube halfway doing my physics homework and i got a new P.B. of 27.83.. and a streak of 5 or 6 under 27s not too bad =D

I have been waiting for this for a long time. It happened out of nowhere, I was solving casually, and realised my average was like 20.xx, and I had like 3 solves left in the average, continued on a bit, and got this. Even better, I was able to retain this for a while, until now, where I decided I would post my uber new personal best, and get some food .

EDIT: Sure I may as well have a new PB OH average today as well:

Average: 38.78 seconds
Individual Times: 36.94, 42.28, (33.16), 37.66, 38.66, 38.68, (46.41), 42.66, 37.38, 38.68, 41.09, 33.81

 

[ccchips296]

yay!!! sub 14 average for the first time. it was 13.86. and even better, i came third in the sunday contest with it (mainly because people like yu nakajima, j.b canares and others didnt do it but i still feel happy)

fastest is a PLL skip. so close to sub 20... why did I have to get nervous on the 26... :-(
Edit: wow! wow! wow! I really don't know what happened. My hand just turned the cube with little input from my brain. F2L was being done in 10-11 when normally the range is 11-15... I have not eaten all day and am very nervous about a maths test I'm not prepared for thats in an hour. I love the feeling of breaking my record
Now I just need to find a systematic way to lookahead (like cross +first pair, etc), really master COLL, and look into Tomy's algs.
Edit: ouch my hand is starting to hurt.

 

[Dene]

Wooooo! You are so OP Lofty!! Well done!

 

[Lofty]

What is OP in that context? Original Post doesn't seem to fit...
thanks!

 

[Dene]

Oh lol, not much of a gamer? OP = Over Powered. Normally given to a particular civilisation in an RTS^^

 

[Lofty]

The only RTS I played was SC, the greatest RTS ever!

 

[Dene]

Lol, I haven't played it, but I weant to one day!

I guess I should post my uber new OH record:

Average: 36.62 seconds
Individual Times: 36.08, (38.65), 37.19, 34.94, 38.44, 36.33, 38.31, 36.55, (30.71), 34.66, 38.11, 35.61

This beats my previous record by almost 3 seconds >.< . Standing up while cubing owns!

 

[Lofty]

yay you are getting pretty good at OH!

 

[Dene]

Yea I've been working on it, but I still can't break the sub30 barrier, at least for a non-lucky solve. I've been getting consistent sub20 F2L and My OLL+PLL algorithms are getting better so it's only a matter of time.

 

[alexc]

My first sub 18 average of 10......... 17.94!

 

[Lucas Garron]

28.69, 24.43, (29.97), 23.89, 28.70, (21.61), 25.74, 23.66, 28.93+, 23.33, 25.26, 26.08 > 25.87

Go 2-gen CLS!

The first rolling time was a 31. But the average stayed sub-26.10 for a while...)

 

[Dene]

This isn't really much, but it turns out I'm a lot faster at something than I realised: Scrambling. I've been trying it out, and I average about 11 seconds, which is way better than I thought I was. I tried timing my scrambles for the Sunday Contest, and got a 9.22 for the first scramble (my best time). I'm pretty happy with that!

EDIT: New OH best average. Got off to an amazing start, not such a good end.

Average: 36.57 seconds
Individual Times: 30.61, 38.69, 31.50, 31.55, (27.65), 40.65, 38.68, 36.75, 42.30, 36.96, (45.77), 38.03

New lucky PB, and so close to a non-lucky sub30, grrr.

 

[Dene]

Wow, you guys are all getting so fast at BLD. I see sub50 averages coming out this year!

EDIT: 35.77 average of 12 OH. I want sub34 today!

 

[Leviticus]

i havent posted here yet but today i broke my megaminx PB with a 3.09, i can get sub 3 and i will, RIGHT NOW!

ok umm i broke my 3x3 average of 12 three weeks ago and got sub 17 (16.90), weird because i usually get around 18-18.5 when trying, and i just did this weeks SC and got 17.85

bad news also, i broke a string ony magic, but im at my dads so i will fix it on monday (hopefully) and i cant get this last piece back in my rubiks 2x2


EDIT: I just bet my megaminx record and it was on my chinaminx as well, although i dont use a acrmblinging alg, meh i got 2.49.70, good last layer only 1 alg needed for EP, but i think i used 1 alg for EO, 2 algs for CO, 2 algs for EO and 1 alg for EP, so a total of six, lol.

EDIT: I just got 2.39.31!!! WTF FTW but on my mefferts which is good

 

[ExoCorsair]

Sub-20 average in competition. 19.84 - 18.xx, 18.xx, 19.xx, 21.xx, 21.xx, although not in that order.

 

[Dene]

New OH non-lucky personal best, 30.06!!! Dam crap poopies arg von doom.

It was 28 seconds, and I throw down the cube at the end of the algorithm, but wait! There is still one quarter turn left! Nooooooo! Fix it, but too late . Sub30, I will get you!!!

By the way, this was gonna be a new uber personal best average of sub40 for me as well, until I screwed up the last four solves (44.xx) and ended up with a 37.xx average .
