Currently only 2! My pb of 4.57, and another which was 4.8x, I believe

That wacky moment when you lose a piece of your GAN in the Bosnian hotel room.

356 M. I didn't really like it anyway, but it was my only 3x3 worth being a main. I ordered a Tengyun though!

I got the V1 based upon the advice of many, haha.

What's your session mean for pyraminx? Sounds like you're as good at pyraminx as you are with clock.

My mean has been sub-5 consistently. There are a few cases I'm still working at, so I get the occasional much slower time that throws the mean off, like maybe an 8 second or something. But overall things have been going well!

Given that my courses are going to be very time consuming this coming semester, I’m going to set some longer-term goals for now. This is to just stretch them out until the end of 2022. That is, unless I find other creative ways to focus on shorter-term improvements.

These will be time ranges I’d like to primarily get by then! I hope that they’re all reasonable.

Sorry that my table is showing up quite messy. Should be more spaces!

Megaminx... that event is calling my name.
I could help you out. I am very close to sub-1 myself.

That would be great! I’ve been getting more interested in mega recently. I don’t practice too much, but I’ve gotten my times down around 15-20 seconds in the past few months. My main goal is to be able to get a competition average! Around me, most comps seem to have a 1:40 cutoff for the most part.

Did over 400 clock solves today. Hoping it does me well! Got 3 Sub-5’s as well.
