[Running for cube]

I was embarrassed in my first comp bc I saw Hassan doing squan in warm up for like 4x4 and asked him his average. He said like 5 and I asked if he was sameer . Him and Zayn started laughing

got 3 LL skips on 3x3 at Wakefield 2023 but none of them were official
Got a corner twist on an official solve though
I think those are rarer for me.

Only been to one comp, but I’ve met (former) WR holder for skewb average, Carter Kucala. Also met Brian, former holder of the 2nd best 2x2 average. And met a bunch of overall great cubers.

Notable moment: Got A DNF average for 3x3

Set a 4x4 of a sub 1:20 average got a 1:20.2x average. bruh. IF IT WASNT FOR STUPID PARITY. Then my sq-1 average was faster than my overall PB single so that was cool. DNFd clock. Had a 3x3 goal of a sub 18.5 average. Got a 16.48 average.
Then on 2x2 I got a y perm but did a jperm instead lol.

I’ve never even gotten a LL skip.

I’ve never even gotten a LL skip.

I've never gotten one either. I'm pretty sure I got one on 4x4 where it was F2L->OLL parity->done but I apparently have short term memory loss and couldn't remember if I had done OLL lol

He uses ZZ CT which brings LL skip chance down to 1/500 solves or something like that.

ah ok that explains a lot

3 is still a lot though

doesn't zz-ct get an ll skip every solve

 

[Swagrid]

I don't count doing TTLL as a skip. I'm taking like LS -> solved / OLS -> solved / TSLE -> solved

 

[An Animating Cuber]

At my first comp someone had brought out a V cube 6 for people to try... yeah I popped it.

You both look very happy and socially competent

 

[SpedCube]

I had a 4 hour drive after, it was like 5 pm. We were all pretty tired lol

 

[EthanMCuber]

In my 6 comps, I have:
Witnessed former 5x5 WR average (Max Park)
Witnessed Pyraminx WR single (Elijah Brown)
Scrambled Pyraminx AsR average (Owen Yepeng Sun)

 

[fdskljgrie]

got patrick ponce to sign my mat, got my worst timed pyraminx solve since a week after i learned how to solve it (23.xx seconds), and dnfed out of a sub 15 clock average which would of qualified me for us nationals in clock.

 

[Discomantis]

I have a few things:

I heard a kid say "what if we get a no-tip scramble on pyraminx" while judging and lo and behold I was judging them for their first solve and a no tip scramble appeared.


For my current 3x3 PR average, I got an extra in solve one, got a world record of 0.098 on the extra, then the scramblers lost my cube for about 20 minutes, then I got 3 11's, a 14, and another 11. During the last solve, they called my group for the next round. I got an E1 in the next round too. That screwed up the schedule.


I judged Chris mills and they got a timer reset out of a sub 2 on skewb

I got a skewb scramble that was one move into solved corners. Two U perms later and it was done.

I got a 21.8x 3x3 average while averaging 14. (Got a corner twist out of a plus two on my second solve, except the would be plus two was caused by the table.)

At my last competition halfway through 5x5 round 1 the fire alarm went off. I was judging at the time. I also judged max park in 4x4, and sat next to him in 5x5. After lunch max apperently got his 7x7 PB, and everyone was freaking out. I podiumed in skewb round one, and got like 5th in finals.

The last time I went to one I got last place
