The 12.05 was non lucky!

That. Was. Awsum.

4x4x4 Average
Average: 1:39.03
Standard Deviation: 08.68
Individual Times: 1:52.23, 1:32.48, 1:29.26, 1:43.78, (1:53.22), 1:53.03, 1:39.50, 1:42.72, 1:32.01, 1:31.80, (1:19.80), 1:33.45

Basically, I've been practicing 4x4x4 a lot for the past 4 days, and this is the result. In that time, my lookahead has vastly improved, and I've worked out an efficient and logical way to pair the last four edges so that I often end up with them all paired up in a couple of moves. However, I popped my 4x4x4 purposefully yesterday because there was a rattling, and then I couldn't put it back together. I had planned to do an average last night, but due to that I couldn't. Anyway, this is the new result.

The 1:19.80 was lucky-ish. I had no parity, and during edge pairing, I inadvertently paired 3 edges at once; other than that, it was normal. The 1:53.03 was OLL parity into OLL skip =P The 1:29 was my first time sub 1:30, and then I managed sub 1:20 in the same average. I hand-scrambled because it takes me forever to scramble a 4x4x4, so I did this by closing my eyes and turning as randomly as a human can =P

Also, I've happy because my PB average before was 1:55.xx, and I also completed one of my goals for before Christmas: sub 1:40 average on 4x4x4.
 
Not a solve.

Found most awesome cube combo ever.

type D screw/springs with type C cubies, cores do not matter.

Beat my best times on several algorithms and my fastest tps. I'll get the numbers later.
 
4x4 single PB 1:10.13

Actually my luckiest 4x4 solve ever. Centers 9.xx very easy. Edges got weird. I was aiming for a K4 solve when I realized it was an LL skip with the exception of 2 opposite edges. I finished the last two edges with a single commutator. :D so happy.
 
YEEAAHH!! i finally got around to doing an average of 100.....hands are so tired now.....

Number of Pops: 0
Average: 13.77
Standard Deviation: 1.31
Best Time: 10.58
Worst Time: 18.44

Best average of 10: 13.22
Best average of 5: 12.64

Very very very happy about average of 10 and 5....both PBs
also, the fastest time was the last solve too :p i was pissed that it was a stupid n perm and could have definately been my first sub 10 ever if it was an easy PLL like H or U or J.....oh well, still good solve :)
 
F D F2 B2 R2 L B' F2 U2 D F U B2 L' B F D B2 L' B F2 R F' D2 U2

FMC (19min) Heise with insertions:

2x2x2: U D L . U' D2 B2
2*1x2x2: F2 U' L' - U2 F L2 U' L' U2 F2
L5E: F U F' L' U L U F U' F'

Leaving with two 3-corner cycles that would have made 39 linear.

. = L' D' L U2 L' D L U2 (this is a great insertion!) (5 moves)
- = B D B' U2 B D' B' U2 (2 moves, couldn't find a nicer one)

U L U2 L' D L U D2 B2 F2 U' L' B D B' U2 B D' B' F L2 U' L' U2 F' U F' L' U L U F U' F' (34HTM)
 
Yes, a new accomplishment (finally, it's been awhile):
I got all the v-cubes and successfully solved them.
I solved the 7x7 with only the experience i had with the 5x5
I solved the 6x6 with only the experience i had with the 4x4.

These puzzles are great, and I see that the challenge of HOW to solve the cube doesn't greatly increase with the size. The sheer increase in number of pieces just makes it longer and tedious.

Conquering the 7x7 does leave you with an ample supply of satisfaction one you do it though... just amazing
 
Petrus, Fridrich

Got a couple accomplishments. I just got a 13.70 with Petrus, 2 move 2x2 and PLL skip. Previous PB was something like 21s. (lol)

And, a new PB Fridrich average: 17.85 Previous was 18.37.

Times:
17.88, 17.63, 16.99, 16.82, 15.32, 18.03, 20.62, 18.21, 18.77, 20.47, 18.19, 13.70

That string of 18s and 20s hurt, but still got sub-18. 13.70 was nice. PLL skip helped.

Clarification: The 13.70 in this Fridrich average is not the 13.70 Petrus I mentioned earlier, despite their similarities. When in practice, I average in the upper 20s with Petrus.

I solved a Square-1! Thanks Jason Baum!
Now I have to remember 5 algs for cube shape. 2 algs for solving bottom layer edges. Parity, and U, Z, H, J, E perms for LL.
 
sub-1 ccw U-Perm: .94 seconds.
my ccw U-perm used to be performed entirely with my right hand, and my best with that was 1.11. tonight i switched to using my left index for U' and it made a huge difference.
my first ever sub-1 perm. it works out to be 11.7 tps! i also got a .99


and i 4.80 2x2 avg of 12. PB by .06
too lazy to post the times and scrambles, although i think the SD was like .4x which is good for me.


oh wait- did my first 2-5 relay in like 2 months for the weekly comp and got a pb: 5:28.91, old pb was like 6:07.

5x5: 3:30 i REALLY need to order a V5, my ES locks so much on everything
4x4: 1:28 OP stupid parity, whole relay could have been like 5:10
2x2: 11 lol i forgot everything that i inspected, actual solve was about 6-7
3x3: 19 good
