HE'S BACK!

 

[Timona]

Aight, I'm actually back this time, although I've fallen off...
Currently averaging around 11-12, have a lot of stuff to work on (luckily I haven't forgotten any algs). I'm gonna try to finally be sub-10 this year.

You've been gone too long... I've caught up to you in 5x5

You're probably better than me rn, haven't solved 5x5 in a long while

You AND Imsoosm came back at the same time?? I love this

2022 was the best time

 

[Timona]

I'm back on the 5x5 grind. Average is decent considering that 2 days ago I was averaging 1:35-ish. I also think it' high time I learnt some L5E cases starting with the No-parity ones, after dodging it for a whole year. I'll update the progress with that.

I've learnt one No-Parity L5E case too, 2 left to go. Good progress!

 

[Timona]

I just got a new MGC 4x4 and I've spent the last few hours trying to tension it and it's not going great. I still can't find the sweet spot, so for now enjoy solves that caused my hand to cramp.

I also got the MGC 2x2 too, and I had forgotten everything about Ortega. Luckily, I relearnt some algs yesterday and muscle-memory kicked in. I still suck for now tho

yeah, my time with the mgc was bad. I couldn't find a sweet spot and now I have a dislike for the cube.

What 4x4 do you use now? Cus I might have to get a new one if this one doesn't sort itself out.

I use the WRM AoShi 4x4 (I think that's what it's called). It's a much better 4x4 imo.

 

[Timona]

Just got the YJ Yuhu v2 so it's time to relearn the tons of Megaminx algs I've forgotten.

Megaminx is going great. Not bad for one day.

Just gotta work on my S2L and LL for now. Star and F2L feels good enough. I haven't timed any splits yet though, so i can't really tell.

 

[Timona]

Welp, almost had a sub-1 single. The S2L was pretty lucky tho, ngl

Doing untimed solves really paid off.

Most of these solves could have been better but I didn't know the PLLs for them (I still use JPerm's beginner method for 5-cycle corners). Also I found out that my beloved Permuteramera is down, now where am I supposed to learn PLLs from :'(

There's this by Feliks and Andy Klise for 4 look last layer (EP + CP for PLL), and also this by Raul Low Beattie for full PLL
