I was trying a average of 50 solves and I came upon this scramble
L' D2 F' U2 B' R2 U2 D2 R2 B2 D' R' U D' R D' U B2 U F R' L D' F2 U'
with which I got my very first sub-25 solve
22.91
My average is now at 34.56 (done 37/50 intended)
My fastest time before this was 25.53 so it's alot faster
My fastest filmed time is 28.8 seconds, which you can see here!

My previous recorded average was about 36 seconds so I think this is going in the right direction

EDIT: I continued the 50 average, and I came upon this scramble
R L2 F2 L D2 L2 U L D R B2 L U' F B U L' B D L R' D' U L' D2
for which my time was 22.29 !! I can't believe I broke my record twice !! excellent

5x5: 2:30.44 avg of 12 today, with 2:26.xx avg of 5 in it. I wanted to go sub-2:30 so I could get my summer goal done with already, but I guess another day.

I finally get sub-50 average with PB: 33.xx

Going slow really helps!!!!!!

First ever solve on a 6x6x6 below 10 minutes.

Saturday I unpacked my 6x6x6, applied the first scramble from the weekly competition and got it on the stackmat-timer (9:58.xx). It was my first ever > 5x5x5 solve and I didn't have any idea how to solve the centers (edges, 3x3x3 and parities all turned out to be "just like 4x4x4+5x5x5 as expected) so I had to figure it out during the solve. All 5 solves turned out to be < 10 minutes with a best of 7:3x.xx. (My best is now 6:50.xx after 10 solves)

I will not lube the 6x6x6 untill it is "really" broken in, but for now it continuesly pops (mostly inner edges) and locks (after middle layer slice-turns). During the 2-7 relay the 6x6x6 popped extremely bad. I had to take it apart almost completely and rebuild it. The mechanism looks nice, but the way the inner edges are attached (like on an ES 4x4x4) is bad

(7x7x7 is much better. 1st solve on that was about 15:xx.xx and I almost got 1 on the stackmat)

Nice arnaud! I just got my 6x6/7x7 now! First solve 9:32.85! I'm happy with that! My hands are a little tired, it is heavier than expected! 7x7 soon!

edit
7x7 16:17.72

Average for the 4x4 - so close to sub 2!!!!!!!!!!!!

if only i picked up and put down the cube faster, and my cube didn't lock up so much.

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

new lucky record today for 3x3x3.

8.81 :] witnessed by two friends, it was an OLL PLL skip, but i worked for the OLL skip, so just a PLL skip? either way it was a luck last layer :]

Holy crap PG, you need to stop getting good solves like that. Don't you have a LL skip on youtube?

 

[martijn_cube]

new PB's:
4x4: 2:45.96
5x5: 5:42.15

edit: new PB 4x4: 2:12.13. a bit of a lucky solve. a couple pair's where made after center were complete. but i had double parity so that's not very lucky.

I managed to do another BLD today. It took around 13 minutes, if I remember correctly.

On the plus side, I got a 1:48 4x4 solve today. The LL (I use K4) wasn't even a normal K4 LL, all edges were grouped together, it was pretty much OLL/PLL.

 

[Dene]

11.83 PLL skip

 

[slncuber21]

nice Dene!

yesterday i got a PB avg (of 5), 35.01 i think it was.. anyway its on my cubemania profile which is: slncuber21

 

[philkt731]

10.797 Clock Simulator (34 moves at 3.149 mps) Almost sub-10!

EDIT: 10.547 (36 moves at 3.413 mps)

EDIT2: 10.078 (36 moves at 3.572 mps) SO CLOSE!!!

EDIT3: 8.813 (26 moves at 2.950 mps) YES!! very easy solve, too bad its mps

-------subedit: just got a 9.563 (30 moves at 3.137 mps)

 

[Faz]

FIRST SUB 2 AVERAGE OF 12 FOR 4x4!!!!!!!!!!

WOOT!!

Considering this was nearly sub 1:50, i have improved well.

I also got a 1:31 single! it was nearly sub 1:30 but i locked up on the a perm
