2x2 lucky single: 2.83

Wow! One move first layer + orientation of LL. Finish with a J perm.

sub3 minute 5x5x5 solve. Oooooh yeeeeaaaa!

I finnaly made a sub twenty time! I was estatic. Man...........it was awesome.

I have no idea how this happened.

(11.81) 10.33 10.52 09.59 10.53 (07.43) 10.81 10.47 08.84 08.66 10.02 09.43 = 9.92 average

10.53, 8.66, and 9.43 were PLL skips. I swear, I'll do something like this in competition eventually...

 

[Dene]

Wow!! Jason, that is amazing! There's only a few who have done that!!! Crazy speed!!

 

[qqwref]

I decided to put some bigcube averages and stuff in my signature, but I didn't have a 4x4 hi-games average. So I did a few dozen solves and my best average (of 12) was 47.003 I don't remember Andy Tsao's best average but I think it was better than that.

I just solved my "I.Q.Ball/Equator" in 3 minutes 9,14 seconds... original post

Now : 2:16.79

Had numerus tries to break the previous record but it was not easy, even doe I improved my method a bit. Normally I get times in the range 3:30 to 5 minutes so this was good, not lucky but rather easy cases and only the simplest of the paritys in the end (double parity, solved using a double two cycle (swap A-B and that also swaps C-D, 8 turns), else I get singel parity (long 15 turn "alg" + restore permutation for two faces, you can do it all in one but it takes like 25 turns and slow because you have to look where the pieces goes or learn all the needed turns as a real alg) Finnaly there is also a tripple parity and tripple is the worst one and is solved as both single and double).

In this case a parity is two pieces that needs a swap in one of the faces. Because I only orient the faces at first and do the permutation for all of them in then end I can get 1, 2 or 3 paritys. It is of course possible to permute the faces while orienting them but when orienting the next face you often have to destroy the permutation for one of the already oriented faces or use longer move sequences to preseve it... it's much better to do all faces in the end.

Nice job Jason!

I almost forgot: I got a 11.68 lucky 3x3 single. 2 move cross. 3 F2L pair were either R U R' or U R U' R'. r U2' R' U' R U' r' OLL. U2 PLL.

I also got a 12.00 non lucky.

 

[niKo]

Lol Jason, that's insane. 7.43 wasn't lucky?.. O.o

I just got my best single & average as well, but they pale in comparison. 22.28 nonlucky single, 28.7x average (first sub-30!).

[ajmorgan25]

I just got my first sub-30 average today which was my original goal when I started cubing about 3 1/2 months ago. Hopefully I'll be able to pull out a 18s solve at the US Open so I can qualify.

 

[stlcards08]

Finally got a sub 5 minute 4x4 solve (4:59.52) lol
Also a new PB 3x3, 47.01 (still with Lbl method)
Only been cubing for about 2 weeks, so not bad I'd say.

21.99 3x3 avg with Petrus

I don't know how I am so consistent. I think I slow down too much during easy solves to make sure I can keep it together.

fastest time:18.66 (PLL skip)
slowest time: 22.69

the times that actually counted ranged from 20.43 to 22.66

How am I only 2 seconds away from 20 sec avg and have only broken 20 seconds for a single solve 4 times????(or least only 4 times on a timer. and all 4 were PLL skips.)

My solves are getting much more dynamic and stuff...petrus is alot of fun...

(11.58), (18.34), 15.49, 13.54, 15.16, 14.90, 15.43, 12.66, 18.18, 13.44, 15.72, 14.67 >14.92
On a rather loose DIY I haven't even cubed with this year. I happened to make fewer mistakes than normal for a short span...

Full session:
14.92, 14.40, 14.32, 17.93+, 17.51+, 13.05, 16.52, 13.79, (34.00), 14.48, 15.87, 15.29+, 16.92, 16.00, (11.58), 18.34, 15.49, 13.54, 15.16, 14.90, 15.43, 12.66, 18.18, 13.44, 15.72, 14.67, 20.83, 17.29, 16.95, 18.98, 14.35, 14.45, 14.99, 16.32, 21.58, 18.20

The first twelve comprise a hilarious 15.50 average...

 

[Cerberus]

Not over yet, but:
Cubes Solved : 218
Pops : 0
Average : 20.10

Best time : 14.55
Worst time : 24.07

Going straight to sub-20 ^^ best Rolling 18.83
We will see how much I can improve the next 2 weeks for German Open

 

[niKo]

Petrus was my first choice but I found it too complicated. I only have 8 OLLs left in Full Fridrich- after that I'll probably pick up the COLLs so I have a better chance at Petrus.
