Clock and Other Things (Clock is Back)

[Clock_Enthusiast]

Finally beat my 3x3 average pb! Got two 18.78 Ao5s today. Most of my solves were sub-20, and I got a good number of 13-16 solves! I think I’m very close to solid sub-20.

Well, I’ve broken my PB 3x3 average again! 18.22

Registering for two comps tomorrow! Really hope I get into both—it will give me a chance to finally update my official results in everything.

Anyone going to Watertown, Burke, or Loon Cubikon?

I should probably set some new goals for the later comps. Things can change in a couple of months. Also different events.

Very happy to be doing much better at 3x3 lately.

Got megaminx PB single and average, then 5x5 PB average yesterday! I really want to make megaminx cutoff at my comp that offers it!

For some reason, when I try to type my 5x5 single into accomplishments, it corrects it to an incorrect time. I want to write 2:25.09, but it changes it to 2:25.90

Well done! Improvement on megaminx comes really fast, especially in the 1:30-2:00 times. I did around 75 solves and went from averaging 2:05 to low 1:40. Lookahead improves very quickly the more solves you do. Hope you make the cutoff!!

Thank you! I’m at 1:55.78 for the average PB and 1:35.17 for the single. Cutoff is 1:45, so hopefully I can shave off those ten sexonds come November.

5x5 PB single of 2:18.56! Currently not an event I’m focusing on, since it isn’t at any of my comps. I still would like to get to around 1:45 before any comps which do offer it, though!

Nice! If you practice lots of 4x4, Megaminx, 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7, you will probably find that your 3x3 times will actually drop even if you don't practice as big cubes/megaminx helps your look-ahead.

1:53.19 Mega average!

Update: Now a 1:49.41 mega average!

Well, today has been a really good cube day I guess. Got my 2x2 average PB of 3.52!

How is the cube? I have a standard GAN. If you have a GAN, please compare, thanks!

I have a standard GAN too! I bought it since I wasn’t too satisfied with the GAN. So far it’s extremely different and hard to compare. I’m getting used to the turning, since it’s VERY different. Much quicker, but sometimes hard to control—trying to set it up and get used to the settings. I’ve gotten good times on it thus far though!

Thanks! I think I will stick with the Gan for now. I prefer slower skewbs (No MagLev skewb)

I just beat my Skewb PB average by almost a full second. I’m so confused and shocked.

Ao5: 4.27

3.95, 3.47, (6.30), (2.46), 5.38
