My solution: R D R2 D then pi oll case with pll skip

You average sub-5, but you only got a 5.19, which is slower than your average. That's what I was saying

That’s because it came up with the last oll case which I have just learnt, and it took me over a second recognising the case

Btw I used the oll 22 alg for the oll then it was a pll skip

Also I was not using my main or backup, I just grab a random 2x2 and did that

I have just moved 675 csTimer solves to CubeDesk, which is now my main timer (I will still use csTimer for things like solve splits)

I am going to my first competition, Washington Championships 2023, in April. Here are my goals:

• 3x3: Be sub-25 so that I will have a chance of making 2nd round
• 2x2: Get decent results
• 4x4: Become sub-3 so that I can get an official single
• 3x3 OH: Be sub-50 so I can get an official average
• Pyraminx: Get bad results for no reason

If I can achieve all of these goals I will be top 100 in Oregon in 9 different categories

I have registered for another competition: Welcome to Olympia 2023.
I have also just received an order from SCS containing a blindfold and a cube cover, so now I can start blindsolving!

Got a Qiyi Mirror Blocks a few days ago, I have just learned how to solve it and my first timed solve was 7:24.68. I am also learning 3-2-3 edge pairing for 4x4

 

[Fukuoka Kengo James]

3-2-3 edge pairing is nice

What are your averages as of right now? I might be able to give you some tips, if you want.
