Nothing was lucky! My look ahead for edges was just good for that solve :)

Splits: 16-26-12

For those that don't know, Michal beat me around 2 months ago I think, with 54.88, followed by 54.86.

I'm pretty sure that sub-50 is possible, because I only skipped about 2 edges on this solve. So if I had skipped let's say 6 (which isn't that rare I think) then I could get sub-50, or maybe Michal or Michael could also do it with enough skipped edges.

EDIT: When I say skipped edges, I mean edges which were solved unintentionally.

EDIT 2: There were two mistakes:

1. On the penultimate set of moves on the edges, I accidentally incorrectly oriented an edge so, I only solved one, but luckily, I solved the remaining edges with the last set of moves using a "simple flip" alg, so it was a good thing I solved one edge by accident :D

2. About 2 moves on an F2L pair :(

Wow!!! Very nice! Your centers amaze me. That's faster than my 4x4 centers and on the 5x5, I can only finish 1 or 2 centers in that time.
Basically, you are 4 times as fast on centers, 2 times as fast on edges, and 1.5 times as fast on 3x3x3. I fail at 5x5x5. It takes me 54 just to solve the centers.
 
Simply amazing! Congratulations Robert!

I recently added you on facebook, and you were younger than i thought, haha.
But don't get the wrong idea, im not one of those facebook stalkers lurking others pages. D:

Best of luck with future records!
