first timed pyraminx solves

34.08, 32.49, 31.98, 40.74, 29.62, 14.10, 34.80

current avg5: 32.13 (σ = 2.59)
best avg5: 31.36 (σ = 1.53)

session avg: 32.59 (σ = 2.02)
session mean: 31.12

got so lucky on that 14.

When did you get that good? **** I remember like 6 months ago you asking to race me to sub 1:05. You make me want to practice a lot.

Hope you get NR and NAR.

Lol, thanks! I was practicing really hardcore for Nats, ~250 solves a day, and I just kept improving. xD I don't even have a Dayan yet, I'm still using my locky mefferts v2, so hopefully I'll get NAR with a Dayan at my next comp. You should practice! Megaminx is damn fun!

just won a rubik's cube race against 2 two senoir guys, I am a 8th grade girl. We raced in front of the entire student ministry at church around 200+ people. They wouldn't tell me how fast they were before hand, so I had no idea if they were sub-15 or only sub minute. They both ended up being above a minute and I average about 23 seconds (not very fast) But now everyone thinks that I am smart.

~250 solves a day

I am going to practice, not that much, but yes I will practice.

 

[Noahaha]

Suddenly I average 1:10 on 4x4. First time I've felt semi-fast at a non-BLD event. That is kinda good right?

 

[Ickathu]

yes.

Do you experience extreme inconsistency in your solves, like sub1 and then 1:30? I don't get how you have such linear and fast improvement O_O

And just a couple of months ago I was giving you advice on how to get faster xD

[3x3] 6.98 Single Reconstruction

6.98 3x3 single by James Hamory.

I got this solve just now, and was able to reconstruct it. I really like this solution. As of 10/14/12 this is my 3rd sub-7 single.

1. 6.98 U2 F2 U2 F L2 R2 F' L2 F R2 D R U' B L2 U L2 B' D (19f)

Inspection: (y2)
Cross: D R2 D F'
1: L U' L2 U' L
2: U' R U' R' (y) R U R'
3: U2 R' U R
4: U L' U L U' L' U' L
OLL: U Rw U R' U R U2 Rw'
PLL: skip

Total Moves: 36
(including rotations): 37
TPS: 5.16
(incl. rotations): 5.30

Nice four move cross. F2L had great look-ahead; I saw the first pair during cross, and saw the others come together as each one was solved. PLL skip took me by surprise, as I was only half paying attention during the solve. A 36 move speedsolving solution is very good for me, considering I've never had a sub-40 FMC solution (I know, I suck at FMC). So being able to find this solution in less than 15 seconds is very exciting (my inspection was probably ~5 seconds).

Cube was a Dayan Guhong v2 if anyone cares (not my usual Witlong).

5x5 average of 5: (1:23.18) 1:25.00 (1:54.46) 1:23.31 1:41.72 = 1:30.01 (SOOOOO CLOSE!)

stupid counting 1:41.72

~250 solves a day

WHAT! for how many days?

 

[Iggy]

Been practicing megaminx and just broke my old 2:30.xx PB avg5 with this:
2:08.74, 2:16.92, 2:12.35, 2:25.26, 2:02.17 = 2:12.67
Also broke my PB single twice. The single could've been sub 2. >.<

 

[Ickathu]

14.07 3x3 single. Previous PB was 16.11

L2 R2 F2 D' B2 F2 D U2 F2 D' F U2 F' R B' D' F' U B D' R

I'll try to reconstruct later. It had a really easy second block and EO. I could have done it faster, but I messed up a little on LSE.

Do you experience extreme inconsistency in your solves, like sub1 and then 1:30? I don't get how you have such linear and fast improvement O_O

And just a couple of months ago I was giving you advice on how to get faster xD

Not as extreme as you're describing, but yes. For example, I just got a 58.07, and the next solve was 1:11.xy. So I'm not super consistent most of the time. When I get "in the zone," however, I get consistently fast, like 55-59, with very little sup-1's.
Also, I thank you greatly for giving me advice, it's greatly appreciated.

@rock1313 For a good month. Don't get me wrong, I was exhausted after each day, but it was so worth it. At one point, I actually kept track of all of them for 3 days, instead of just deleting them after an avg5/12/100, but then qqtimer had too many solves on it, so I had to reset the times. :/ I lost ~860 solves.

I'm getting so much better at controlling my 4x4 and not locking up so much

41.14 avg12 = (57.90), 41.51, 43.99, (38.50), 38.92, 40.54, 38.69, 39.09, 41.37, 41.94, 39.90, 45.43
