How often have you practiced each day on average?
1 hour and a half is probably a good guess of the average time, because there have been days when I could cube for 3 hours (more than 3 hours is too much for me, it would be tiring and would make me feel bad and guilty) and days when I couldn't even touch the cube (mostly because of sChOoL).How often have you practiced each day on average?
Must... not... feel... jealous.... aaaaaaaaaToday I got a 5.79 full-step with a XXX-Cross (it was something like 5 moves ) followed by triple sexy F2L case, an OLL I don't remember and then H perm with no AUF.
With a 5.79 I couldn't miss the opportunity to break my MO3 PB, so I did it
+ Unexpected ao5 PB: 8.601. 5.79 L F2 D' F2 U B2 U2 F2 L2 D' L2 B2 U' L' F U' B' R' B L R (not the real scramble because I accidentally did the solve in the green cross session)
2. 9.65 D' R' U' R' D' B2 R2 L U F' R2 D2 R2 U2 B L2 B2 R2 D2 B2
3. 8.98 R U B D' B2 D L2 B' L F R2 D2 F2 U2 F' D2 L2 B' U2 R2 D2
This was all done with white cross because sometimes I just want to enjoy the only cross colour where I can look-ahead well. Now my ao100 PB (white cross) is 9.731. (5.79) L F2 D' F2 U B2 U2 F2 L2 D' L2 B2 U' L' F U' B' R' B L R

I improved a lot at green a blue crosses:
G: from high 12 (yesterday) to almost sub-12 (12.1 ao50 today)
B: from high 14 to almost sub-14, but I haven't done enough solves to determine my actual average.
Road to sub 1 Megaminx?Averaging low 11 with green and almost sub-12 with blue. I started doing orange cross but it's a lot more confusing than the other colours, mostly because of the green pieces that distract me, and I average 16-18 with it (after 20 solves).
Yesterday I finally got my first 5x5 and mega (I had been waiting for them since May 15 (ish)). I'm still a noob but I'll learn how to properly solve them.
Nah I don't think I'll want to grind mega. I'm more into 3x3 and BLD, but I also want to get better at big cubes (not this summer tho).Road to sub 1 Megaminx?
ao12 PBstop bro
Time list:
1. 8.44
...
I won't update my 3x3 progression for a while. Maybe I'll post something about my 3BLD progress, maybe not. Hopefully you will see very slow improvement. Smh. I'm tired of all this.
I got a 2:09 and the PB ao5, but I kept rolling it and ~10 solves after that I got a 2:33.88 MO3 and ao5 PB (both have the same time LoL)(If my next solve is a success I'll probably get a PB ao5, hopefully sub-3)
what event?New PBs
1:52.52 single
2:10.23 mo3
2:11.06 ao5
2:15.87 ao12 (whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat)
Come on I want to be sub-2 (no I actually want to be sub-20)
3BLD. I'm focusing on that at the moment, even though sometimes I do some 3x3 (still working on colour neutrality)what event?
EDIT: 3bld?
I'm pretty surprised that ur not dual CN already, its really easy since you need the same F2L pieces, all that's different is the LL colourI've been on vacation for 2 weeks and I couldn't do 3BLD because of the lack of time and ideal conditions (silence). Therefore I've been doing random 3x3 solves as that was the only thing I could do.
These are my PBs with white cross (the single is 5.43 but it's in a different session):

However, I said that I wanted to be CN and I've not been doing it as much as I should have done. So I'll start to practice it more seriously.
Here's what I hope to do: I'll start grinding yellow cross until I'm dual CN (or very close to it), then I'll do the same with green and blue. i don't want to be CN and always do CN solves like almost every other CN cuber: I want to be dual CN but at the same time be able to get the same times with the other cross colours (at least when the scramble is easy) so that I can have great look ahead, piece familiarity and I can take advantage of easy crosses. This is what Tymon does and I believe it's the best type of CN. (No other cuber come to my mind but there are definitely more people that do this).
I'll do a CN average of 100 every week to track my progress.
The PBs I showed you were from the first days of this vacation but I somehow got worst and I'm not even sub-10 sometimes. It's weird but probably it's just because I've been cubing in the bus and it's not very comfortable.
Here's my first ever CN ao100:
ao100: 13.89
13.06, 14.54, 13.00, 15.04, 14.60, 10.28, 14.17, 13.35, 15.16, 16.01, 16.55, 12.38, 13.87, 12.90, 14.78, 17.72, 13.03, 14.40, 12.37, 11.21, 13.16, 13.97, 11.12, 15.74, 11.91, 17.73, 14.35, 14.36, 15.37, 11.94, 16.65, 15.88, 12.16, 13.05, 12.19, 10.22, 11.92, (8.86), 12.88, 14.91, 15.09, 12.97, 12.95, 13.42, 12.35, 12.75, 12.60, 15.87, 13.48, 14.67, 14.67, 18.24, (9.51), 12.23, 11.36, 13.32, 12.76, 15.03, (9.98), (19.07), 10.27, 11.59, 17.94, 13.33, 14.73, 10.55, 18.25, 15.67, 12.26, 11.31, 18.17, 14.18, 10.81, (19.99), 11.48, 14.95, 13.97, 13.97, 13.71, 12.20, 15.99, 15.52, 14.17, (19.96), 14.35, (10.10), 14.57, 17.59, 12.04, (10.11), (18.88), (18.68), 17.28, 12.86, 14.36, 13.72, 13.72, 13.15, 16.34, 13.09
This average was really bad, I was hoping to get a sub-13 average since the first ao50 was close to that, but the final ao25 was full of bad solves. I'll definitely beat that next week.
I'm almost dual CN, I can get the same times but sometimes I pause if I can't see any pieces and those pauses are longer for yellow than for white. I need to do more solves to fix that.I'm pretty surprised that ur not dual CN already, its really easy since you need the same F2L pieces, all that's different is the LL colour
Why?I quit cubing
