Also QOTD: If you have been to a comp, what event did you do horribly in compared to your at home average?

Uhhhhhhhh
Yea lets not talk about it

Clock and 3BLD, I averaged 13 for clock and got a DNF average and 15 single in comp. For 3BLD, I averaged around 1:20 and got only one success in comp, 1:55. Still got 3rd though so I was happy with that.

My first and only one… I wasn’t all that nervous throughout the competition, but then 3x3 happened. I averaged ~22 seconds at the time, and this was my average at the comp: 38.55, (23.55), 30.12, DNF, (DNF)… On the first one I messed up on an H-perm and had to re-solve the cube. The 2nd one was my only “good” solve. For the 3rd one, I don’t even remember what happened. Now, for the DNFs… the 1st DNF was because of a corner twist. It would have been my best time (21.xx) if it wasn’t for that twist. I am pretty sure the corner was twisted during scrambling though. And for my last solve, also a DNF, I did a Ub perm instead of a Ua.

Summary: I got a DNF average.

On pyraminx I averaged sub-8, but then I got 2 +2s and my avg ended up being only sub-10

 

[SpedCube]

I +4 on my first solve of my comp (pyraminx): twisted tip, touched it after

Learning algorithms for F2L, OLL and PLL. Never knew that I could solve F2L intuitively, and didn't realize I could make OLL+PLL a 4 step process.

Making myself practice stuff that I didn't want to because I thought it was more important and I thought people only cared if I was good at 3x3 rather than other events.

2x2 is most likely almost minimalized

I think it might be awhile till the next 3x3 We average and I doubt it will see much improvement.

2x2 single can definitely get down to sub .3. I've tried U R U' R' a bunch of times, and the fastest I could get was .28 with legal timer start and stop, so if someone with a better cube than me and better skills than me gets that, sub 0.3 in comp is 100% possible. I don't think any other WR is as luck based as 2x2 single, except for FMC single. If I had to guess, that will be the record that will stand the longest.
For the most underdeveloped event I would guess MBLD. I definitely think that 100 points will happen sometime in the future.
I don't have much experience with most events though, so I can't say a lot about events like skewb, squan, clock, big cubes etc.

L4E because Pyraminx is the best.
