Got this during an ao100 yesterday:
PB Ao5: 16.97

15.23, 15.41, 20.76, 18.74, 16.76+

Win and fail in one average. It's my first sub 17 ao5, but it could have been sub 16.50 if I hadn't got that 2+ at the end


Also, I have now done the first ZZ and Roux averages in my life:

ZZ OH Ao12: 52.96
1:16.40, 53.96, (1:18.46), 39.42, (36.88), 44.80, 55.47, 49.27, 47.31, 45.29, 1:12.35, 45.32

Roux Ao12: 50.10
45.59, 55.18, 42.91, 41.28, 53.03, 53.16, (36.26), 44.93, (1:02.81), 56.31, 53.36, 55.21

ZZ OH feels amazing when I don't mess up the EO and everything goes smoothly

Are you jumbling? Because if not, you can do it a lot faster

I am pretty sure he is jumbling because he posted something about parity yesterday.

Are you jumbling? Because if not, you can do it a lot faster

I'm definitely jumbling, and this is one of the reasons why I love this puzzle so much! I'm sure my method could be much more efficient, but it has already evolved a lot from where I started. I used to use jumbling to reduce the cube to a state that is solvable using only non-jumbling turns. This was a lot of fun, but very slow. I now use more of a layer building approach with a constant mix of non-jumbling and jumbling center cycles as well as non-jumbling turns for corners. I'm trying to avoid reading the literature that already exists on the forum until I get a little bit faster, and have a little more experience on different ways to approach solving the puzzle.
