A good 10 of 12 average for me when I was doing this week's Sunday Comp. I got my new single, non-lucky pb - 27.75s (the F2L just flowed, then anti-sune and U-perm), and somehow I managed to take four seconds off my *AVERAGE* pb! Dropped it from 40.25s down to 36.24s. I've been doing lots of slow F2Ls, and I've learnt about half the PLLs (which are now starting to get smooth).

So I was pretty happy with that set of times!
 
Incredible: an average 2x2 of 3.46 seconds.

Where's the fifth scramble? :P And wow those were REALLY easy scrambles.
 
New 3x3x3 single (non-lucky pb) 26.14s

It was with: U2 B2 L2 D2 R' F D' R2 U2 R F2 R2 B' D' F2 R2 F2 U' R B' U' F' R2 F U2
(with my cross colour on the bottom of the scramble)

Cross: F2 D' R2
CE1: y R U2 R' U L U L'
CE2: y R U R'
CE3: y' L' R U' L R'
CE4: U L' U' L
OLL: y' R' F' L' F R F' L F
PLL: U' y' R B' R F2 R' B R F2 R2

Move count (HTM):
F2L:22
LL: 18
Total: 40

So while I did do all stages of the solve, overall it was reasonably lucky in that I had pretty good cases at all stages, giving me quite a low move count (it was only a ~1.5tps solve!). So a pb single solve for me, and an indication that if I improved my finger speed (2tps is still a good solve for me), I could improve my times a fair bit.
 
New PB of 43.35 (hey, i'm still a n00b)

But my biggest accomplishment is this. I've been working to get my intuitive F2L faster than beginner LBL F2L, and i JUST did intuitive F2L faster than LBL, average of 5 :D

Man i'm amped about that!
 
Random 2x2 improvement... yesterday I got a 6.96 average (first sub-7) and later 6.68, on cubemania. Then today I got a 5.81 rolling average on CCT! I don't know what's going on at all. I didn't learn a new method or anything, my 2x2 just feels... less locky than normal. Really bizarre.

5x5x5 foot solve of 14:23.42, average of 5 18:34.74. I could easily beat these times.

5x5x5 feet average of 5!?! Wow - you're really getting hardcore into the foot solving thing!

I don't think I would ever do this because I would be afraid I'd destroy my cubes. I might try it with my Meffert's (even though it would be very slow because it's stiffer than the Eastsheens). It would probably hold up to foot solving just fine. But I'm convinced it would destroy my Eastsheens.

Take that, Kai! :p

(Oh: SD=1.00)
 
I just got 22.22 on my worst PLL (Bad R) on ryanheise sim. That alg usually takes at least 8 seconds. This time it probably took 5 or 6. Sub-22 average later today hopefully.

sub-20 on my 3rd worst PLL (Z). 19.97!!!!!!!!!!

Got 22.05 average 10 of 10!!!!!!!

That means I'm finally in the top 100! #97. :D

As I said:
Great block start. I wanted to form the extension, but threw in a pseudo block on the way. Orienting edges turned out easy, and after using the psuedo block to finish the side I wasn't expecting, I managed to get a Niklas + A-perm LL (where the A is done as a comm after the pseudo block is undone).
