I've developed some 'cheat codes' for Heise method that you may be interested in :tu

 

[guysensei1]

Today, I managed to pop 1/3 of a corner piece of my mini weilong. That has got to be some kind of acheivement right?

What cheat codes?

Polish fingertrick.

This Skewb has started to pop, but it doesn't cut corners at all >___<

When I had Josh's Skewb, for the first month it cut corners and didn't pop

 

[SolveThatCube]

Just did an average of 50 and got 3 sub-10's. But they were all actually sub-9:

3. 8.86 F U2 F2 L2 F2 U' F R' B2 U' D' B2 L2 D' F2 L2 U' B2 D2 PLL skip
23. 8.35 D' F2 U2 L2 U L2 B2 F2 U' R U2 B' L F' R U' R2 D B' R' full step

What are your PB's on 3x3?

 

[Tim Major]

Off the top of my head, 7.0x single, 10.3x ao5, 12.7x ao100.

Averaging about 14 now for some reason. Wasn't a short term thing, I did 300 solves over a week and my best ao50 was barely sub 14...

 

[DeeDubb]

I broke Sub 25 Ao12... When I broke Sub-30 Ao12, I said I wanted Sub-30 Ao100 within 2 weeks. I guess I'll set the same goal now for Sub-25 Ao100 by 5/25.

It took 3.5 weeks, but I finally did it. Progress is slowing down, but still going forward.

Got a 24.34 Ao100 with my new AoLong

Progress is expected to slow down. It gets exponentially harder to improve the faster you are. (correct me if I'm wrong)
Keep it up!

Edit: 1:03.10 single, 2nd best ever

What cheat codes?

Okay, they aren't really 'cheat codes', but they still help me instantly shave 3-4 seconds (of pauses) off my solves on average. They are ways to reduce the number and variety of commutators required for the last step!

They probably won't be as beneficial to you, because you can come up with any commutator/conjugate in under half a second! But for me they are invaluable, because they also reduce all unsolved corners to a single face (top usually, but front is also possible). They don't reduce my movecount, however, they just redirect my movecount towards eliminating pauses. (Pauses in thinking of inefficient commutators, that you would probably laugh at!).

Some of them are turned out to also be LPELL algs lol, just intuitively constructed, and for more cases.
