I’m hoping for an official sub-4 soon! Also for a good average haha. I’ve been getting much, much faster at home and I’m honestly shooting for a decent sub-5 average this year.

 

[Bingus cuber]

I’m hoping for an official sub-4 soon

If you want to be in the WR top 100, it would have to be a sub- 3.8. For average, it would be sub- 4.93

I know—it’s gotten ridiculously low. I want to get back into the top 100 again very soon though,

Thomas Cranberry and his love for keeping things unflipped truly altered the current state of Rubik’s Clock.

I took a moderate break from regularly cubing this semester, as it is my (busy) final one before I need to find full time employment to eat and not live in a cardboard box. It is very exciting to get my Bachelor's degree in the coming weeks, but also terrifying. My best advice is to really make the most out of your middle school, high school, and even college years if you plan to attend college. It goes by really fast, and many of the problems that seem SO big in the moment are genuinely not going to haunt you forever.

My biggest lesson to the cubing youth of Earth is this: Do what you want to do for YOU in the moment. You can either look back and think about how you missed out, or you can set new limits for yourself and have a wonderful time doing things. Also remember to enjoy the little things along the way. It's unlikely you'll speak to 98% of the people you went to high school with, so live for you, don't worry about what people think, and remember to give yourself grace (because nobody is 100% invincible and has it all together).

I am attending my first competition in nearly five months on the weekend following this one! I will be competing in 3x3, Clock, Megaminx, Skewb, and Square-1. My goals are Megaminx state record single and average, and hopefully some Clock and Skewb PRs (I already have state record single and average for both of those).

Have a splendid Friday (Eastern Standard Time), y'all.

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

Competition tomorrow! I will be competing head to head with @SkewbIsTheBestEvent all day, and I plan to get a 0.16 Skewb average to beat his PR.

My main megaminx was acting up and being all weird, but it turned out to be a loose magnet which was easily fixed for competition legality. That's a huge relief because I exclusively enjoy the DaYan Pro.

I haven't done much clock recently, and my clock feels a little odd. I think it might be getting somewhat worn out, as I've been maining this one for nearly a year. Fingers crossed for a scramble with 7-Simul memo OO-OJ--OA (or something along those lines; I also use O for 0).

Square-1, or as I refer to it, "I don't care-1" is my lowest priority alongside 3x3. That doesn't mean I don't hope to perform well with those puzzles, but rather that my energy is near-undividedly concentrated on Skewb, Clock, and Megaminx.

I do not set precise goals for competitions anymore to mitigate nerves, but PRs in my primary events of focus would be excellent.

 

[Bingus cuber]

You want a 0.16 skewb average?

 

[fes_77]

Gl on the 0.16 skewb avggg

Good evening everyone.

I have an exciting announcement:

After a near calendar year, I have successfully broken my PR clock average AND single. I additionally got megaminx PR single and average (both state records), and a SQ-1 single PR.

SQ-1 Single: 20.24

Megaminx Single: 1:08.72
Megaminx Average: 1:19.33

Clock Single: 4.48
Clock Average: 5.27
