---EDIT---
here's the first 5 solves:
3:38.83, 3:41.71, 3:38.06, (3:34.84), (3:48.99)


Here's the entire average

40.30 computer 4x4. Could have been sub 40 but I messed up PLL a bit. I also had a solve where I was on PLL at 33 seconds, but got parity and messed up the PLL and ended up with 42.

Just did this OH average. Not a personal best, but wow! Look at all the sub30's!! And no lucky solves
The 26.26 is a PB single solve for me, and the 28.00 was a V-perm!!!

EDIT: 25.06 non-lucky... off a V-perm . Man, this whole "practise" thing really seems to work.

First timed Pyraminx Crystal solve - 8:56. Zac XD

It's on! I need to work on that puzzle... A lot...

Siraj, you just get good at anything with "pyraminx" in the name, don't you? XD


Anywho: 1:25 4x4. Beats my old PB (single) by 11 seconds.

Even funnier accomplishment: I taught myself Ortega. I didn't know the algs for the final step, and I don't own a 2x2. So I sat down last night, used my 4x4 as a 2x2, and figured out all the algs. They're probably not very optimal, but I discovered them on my own, so I'll remember them much easier.

absolute awesome, my second best is 15.01 and third best 15.93
I wanted to post my 15.01 from yesterday or day before, which was just mindblowing to me and now I got this, the video is coming soon

 

[not_kevin]

A couple days ago, I was cubing in the car, and got PB's in 3x3, 3x3 OH, and 4x4. 3x3 was 12.05 (OLL skip... but it managed to beat my old PB by over a second...), 3x3 OH was 25.84 (my previous best was 31.xx, so it was pretty amazing to me), and 4x4 was 1:25.xx (my previous record was 1:38.xx on an ES; this one was on a Rubik's with no ability to turn outer faces with speed, so I was pretty amazed by it, too). The next day, I pulled a 2:26 during the 2-5 relay (my previous best was 3:10...). The day after that, I got 3 sub-30 OH solves out of around 15 solves, which was excellent for me.

Oh man! I got it! yay!!! I think I had 1 OLL skip and one PLL skip tho.

no warm up.

I'm really inconsistent which means that once I practice a bit more I'll be much faster than this. the only lucky solve was the 10.62 (PLL skip). I was feeling sub 14 on this one because I'd mess up F2L somewhere and get a 15. I don't know what happened with the 20. sub 14 soon!!!
