Accomplishment Thread

[emolover]

I had to do a solve in class because we have a new teacher so he wanted us to introduce are selves and something interesting about us. I of course said cubing and he wanted me to show him. He hand scrambled the cube and somebody timed me. It was an easy 3 move x cross with 4 move inserts with a PLL skip. Someone was timing and it was a 6.52 solve!

I was also cubing in English and this one guy who I thought didn't even know I existed actually took an interest in what I was doing and asked me a whole bunch of questions about cubing and stuff. I even got him to get the cross after a little bit, I even help him out by placing my hands over his and moving the cube for him. He is so cute!

I sound like a girl right now. For those of your who don't know, I am a boy.

thats creepy..
anyway i got 21.33 seconds with PLL skip (average of 100: 32.02 seconds)

 

[aronpm]

thats creepy..

Why is it creepy? Because a boy likes a boy?

First three days of jskyler's colour neutral schedule, doing yellow cross only. Today was a bit worse than yesterday. Tomorrow is the last day of yellow cross before I start green cross. (I'm swapping blue with green because green is cooler)

I average 13 for 3x3 with white cross (10.8x/10.9x PB avg5, 11.8x PB avg12, 12.8x PB avg100)

number of times: 300/300
best time: 10.74
worst time: 22.18

current avg5: 15.51 (σ = 1.40)
best avg5: 12.15 (σ = 0.18)

current avg12: 15.26 (σ = 2.05)
best avg12: 13.31 (σ = 1.00)

current avg100: 15.18 (σ = 1.77)
best avg100: 14.35 (σ = 1.62)

session avg: 14.89 (σ = 1.72)
session mean: 15.00

 

[Sheldon]

Keep on clockin', result : Lol avg5 (after warm-up)

(5.12), 6.33, (7.06), 5.98, 6.19 = 6.17

Done with WCA scrambles + stackmat.
Next comp in 1 month.

Some might not say this is an accomplishment, but I think it's just enough of an accomplishment for me to make this decision.

I'm going color neutral, *****es.

Cold turkey. No structure other than I'll only be CN in practice solves for a week (I'll be doing a lot). EDIT : I'm taking that last part back. I'm going CN in all my solves now.

Is it weird that I'm a white-cross main solver, and orange cross is easier for me than yellow? :3 I have a feeling blue and green crosses are going to be especially hard because my blue center sticker is missing and that's just going to throw me off. At least I'm not THAT fast so switching won't be impossible Wish me luck!

Very nice! I'm using Fridrich and a tiny bit of CLL (4 cases) and a WitTwo.

Solved my 8x8 in 10:34.92. It would have easily been sub ten if I had know what to do for the last edge case.

This is a single edge:

XOXXOX
OXOOXO

I spent about 10 second thinking about it then ended up doing two orientation algs to fix it.

Aw, too bad. That one's just a pure slice turn orientation parity - here's the modification of the Lucasparity that you would use (in WCA notation, r is a slice move):
r U2 x r U2 r U2 r' U2 l U2 l' x' U2 r U2 r' U2 r'

That is going to help me on all big cubes. Its so fast and finger trickable. My friend has been looking for an easy to remember alg and this will work perfectly.

 

[uberCuber]

Here is the average from each day of yellow cross, following jskyler's schedule. I did approximately 110 solves each day.
My white-cross PB's are 11.10 avg5, 12.20 avg12, and 12.78 avg100

Yellow:
15.47
15.16
14.81
14.85

Well, on to blue cross tomorrow.

I fear that these results are worse than they would have been another time; I have a ton of **** on my mind that I feel is greatly affecting my ability to focus on the solving....
