5.79 2x2 a12. First sub-6.2.

Doesn't feel like much of an accomplishment posting below Cameron lol.


edit: Not related, but I don't want to have have two posts so close to each other.
Just then:
3x3 a5 19.57 PB, 2nd sub-20.
3x3 a12 20.67, 1st sub-21.

And I got 2 sub 15 singles in one day a couple of weeks ago (were my first sub-15s and still are).

Got a Master Skewb as a present today... it's pretty fun

1:52.20 single
2:01.20 avg5 = (1:59.18), (2:28.89), 2:01.86, 2:01.03, 2:00.70
2:12.46 avg12 = 2:16.69, 1:59.42, 2:26.55, 2:21.61, (2:29.67), 2:08.28, 2:19.59, (1:59.18), 2:28.89, 2:01.86, 2:01.03, 2:00.70

Anyone know what the UWRs for this thing are? Also, I kinda want to learn a better skewb solution (specifically, one which uses fewer moves) - it should save me some significant time. I'm very seriously considering Kirjava-Meep.

 

[Tim Major]

I'm very seriously considering Kirjava-Meep.

If you do, learn the EG algs last.
I would learn Pi and how it works (affects centres) it's mirror, U-Perm (pi rotate pi), Z-perm (pi*3), H-Perm, then the L5C cases resulting from impossible to force to L4C case with Pi variations. Only then learn EG, imo
I currently only know Pi which is a 4 move commutator and just use it and variations and setups to solve every case. I currently average 11s.
I'd probably be sub 9 if I learnt H-perm and 4 direct cases.

Amazing, considering earlier today I got loads of crappy 1:30s. First two were PLLs, and during the last solve my hands were all shaking and sweaty and it was EP + CPLL too. I was like 'c'mon, gogo sub-1'

How is your last layer?

It's pretty bad. I will do an average of 5 last layer for you. I am starting to learn ZZ for OH.

Things in brackets are steps I skipped. 3 PLL skips and 2 OLL skips.

No other PBs besides the 100, but I love being sub-20

 

[Escher]

.05 off a sub 9 average on camera... So maybe more of a fail

[iEnjoyCubing]

Got a Rubik's brand clock today, and it's awesome! I've never practiced clock at home and have only done 2 Ao5s in comp, so this 20.52 Ao5 is pretty good.

Thanks for the support

But I have the curse of nerves : Whenever I'm being recorded I instantly get 2 seconds slower. If I go to Hillsdale in a couple months I'm sure I'll choke there, too. xD

I'm going to call that my lucky PB because there were a lot of skips and easy X-crosses. In my 18.7x, there were none (I think). So I average just below 19.
