444, k4:

39.57, 38.69, 39.19, (49.97), 42.93, 35.94, 39.70, 46.14, 38.82, (34.94), 41.17, 38.57 => 40.07

So close again :/

Well at least the median is sub 40 :)

EDIT: oh there's a 38.15 avg of 5 in there apparently (UWR) :D

I typed 1.24 in my calculator for some reason. fixed

Nice one. I still think my pick-up time can be improved a lot so I rarely get such high tps (previously 12.4 was my pb)

That's what I'm currently working on. I think it helps quite a bit when you nail the pick up really well.

I'm almost surprised your previous PB was only 12.4. You turn really fast.

I turn fast with keyboard and timing algs...and I'm only talking stackmat for the 12.4 (which I was quite happy with). With keyboard I know I've hit some insane speeds; which I find hard to replicate with stackmat.

I thought about maybe doing 4 move scrambles and doing hundreds of solves like that. So you would essentially be finding a 4-mover (easy-peasy) and a greater percentage of your times will be when you're not even turning the cube - putting more emphasis on the pickup and the finish. You can get 4 move scrambles from qqtimer with 3-gen scrambles.

That's actually a really good idea. Only problem for me is my pickup is already good and I need to work on tps instead :p

11.07 PB Mo3.

Old PB single would have lasted for 5 months from tomorrow.


In almost every session I do, the best Ao5 is 12.67... every single time. I've noticed that for the past 5 or so sessions I haven't got a PB Ao5.
