Just got my PB a few minutes ago, 56.14 seconds and it was non-lucky. My first sub 60! Hopefully I'll improve with some more Fridrich algorithms.

 

[Hadley4000]

7.97 on the pyraminx!!!!!

 

[masterofthebass]

***Spoiler Alert***
This will blow your mind!!!

Average: 1:03.26
Individual Solving Times: 1:08.58, 1:03.11, (1:11.56), 57.83, 56.91, 1:08.30, 58.22, 1:04.96, 1:03.36, (55.83), 1:06.93, 1:04.44

Some crazy ridiculous 4x4 times... I have no idea how I did this.

 

[Lucas Garron]

(2:06.40), 2:24.73, (2:31.24), 2:30.20, 2:30.48 >2:28.47

Two more cubic speed NR's to go! That 2:30.20 was really a 2:10 with a loooong G-perm.

EDIT: Yes, this is 5x5x5.

 

[MiloD]

New better 5x5 single and avg.

I beat my old best single by only .12 seconds.

 

[Hadley4000]

50.90 OH!

I have been trying to break the one minute barrier one handed for a long time. And I got it by 9.10 seconds!

Yes, it was a PLL skip, but I got the F2L fast enough that I think it ould have been sub-minute even without the skip.

 

[Lucas Garron]

So I decided to try some good Chambon-style slow twisting, expecting some comfy 18s.

First solve is a 12.48.

(12.48), 13.98, 15.95, 14.98, 13.71, 15.35, 15.59, 14.80, 15.34, (16.52), 15.54, 14.73 > 15.00 average

15.35 had a bad cross (M2U2M2 fix around CLS), and I was cubing 20 cm away from my spacebar (Stackmat is still at Clancy's).

I don't know how I'm still upset about that 16.

[Hadley4000]

5.87 on the 2x2x2.

 

[Kenneth]

The Studio fundamentalist....

7:36.23 2-5 relay.

I was using stricktly Rubik's Studio for all sizes. 5x 4:40+, 4x 2:10+ 3x 30+ sec and the rest for the crappy 2x2x2 (over 15 seconds). Breaks my old record by around a minute

I remade my Studio 5x5x5 yesterday, file, lube, new stickers and mounting took me the whole day!!!

But it is much better now, earlier I had no sub 7 minutes using this cube, now I'm arond 4:30 and that's what I do using My ES too...

 

[Lucas Garron]

OH:
(22.93), 28.93, 25.61, 24.41, 27.86, 29.28, 26.48, 24.56, (29.66), 25.61, 23.57, 27.45 > 26.38

Go MGLS!

(Also, lots of squandered solves, including a T-Perm before 15, and a J-perm before 18.)

Petrus:
21.96, 26.71, (18.25), 18.97, 26.74, 25.20, 22.33, 21.11, (40.33), 19.23, 24.93, 25.69 > 23.29

When I tried to roll, I got a 29 PLL skip.

 

[Lofty]

18.46 OH average 3/5
I'm feeling good for Chattahoochee

 

[Dene]

Yea, woo!! I want to see a World Record from you, no excuses!! I want it on video too!

 

[Lucas Garron]

(52.45), 1:06.63, 1:15.98, 1:08.60, (1:25.26), 1:09.11, 1:11.32, 1:20.13, 1:21.09, 1:22.43, 1:01.78, 1:09.53 > 1:12.66
(Still bad, actually. And of course, rolling destroyed it.)

Sanded and tightened my Eastsheen 4x4x4 and it worked for a short while.

The 52 was fun (G-perm) while the cube was still solid enough...

That makes a lot of records recently: 3avg, OHavg, 5single, 4single, 4avg, BLDavg5, etc.

 

[Lucas Garron]

(21.58), 23.16, 24.73, 22.52, (29.38), 25.63, 23.54, 22.46, 28.56, 25.60, 27.45, 24.70 > 24.83
MGLS.

Bad ending, and PLL still takes me well over 5 seconds on average.

avg5:
(26.11), (21.58), 23.16, 24.73, 22.52 > 23.47


I wasn't even sub-27 a few days ago (am I overposting on this thread?)...


I'm coming for you, Stefan!
Hmm, he doesn't care...
I'm coming for you, Rama!

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Yes, so I got two sub-30 solves in the last two days... and I'm pretty bad at it (high 30 avg?)

I'm pretty bad at BLD lately, it's been like, 1:40s, but at least I succeed.

 

[pcharles93]

I finally got a sub-25 average.
27.61 26.11 20.59 (19.75) 24.36 26.02 21.78 (28.34) 27.33 22.20 23.75 23.53
It was filled with my fastest PLL's. I got 2 or 3 nasty G-perms but I had 15 seconds F2L's all around and my OLL's were around 5 seconds.

 

[Speedy McFastfast]

Seriously, why does everyone hate the G perms? They aren't that bad

2:08 4x4 solve today, I thinks I need to lube my cube again. At least it was sub 2:30, lol.

 

[Dene]

Well I just finished the easiest exam in University history.... I consider it an accomplishment that I even bothered

EDIT: Wooohooo!! New OH record by like a whole second, and finally a sub30 non-lucky solve!!!! 29.63!!! Average is 34.36 but it's on my other computer...

My first average for the 5x5x5! Not very consistant and I think I got much better just doing the average. I feel better at the 5x5x5 lol. Almost sub-4... My eyes are tripping out from staring at all the little moving squares of color...

Haha, that also happened to me after my first average of 12 .
