Cubing FML

[JonnyWhoopes]

Been trying for sub-15 avg50 for almost a year now. Just sat down and did 50 solves in one sitting (a ton for me recently). The average? 15.01

First 5 solves of the day, 5 F-perms. Not kidding.

First 2x2 Ao100 in a long time = 5.78

I suck now D: I forgot almost all of CLL so I just use COLL. Good thing I don't really care about 2x2.

Today, I brought five cubes to a grade 3/4 class. The children were making good progress on the beginner's method when there was an announcement about an Easter Egg hunt. After the students returned, there was another guest and we never got back to the cubes . Later, I had to solve all five cubes!

Was solving while walking in a hall and my friend unexpectly hugged me in the middle of the solve andwhile we were hugging, some random dude bumped into my hand and the cube splattered peices everywhere on the floor... people were unawarely kicking the core around and stepping on the peices.... FML... thnk god it was only my edison not zhanchi....

Spoiler

pretty much looked like that afterwards

No, the pic I found on google but it is 90 % accurate. only difference is that pieces were more scattered, and it was inside a building

Reassembled my colored ZhanChi after cleaning it. After it was lubed and correctly tensioned, I decided it was time to do some solves.

I kept on messing up my cross, the orange edge would always be paired up with the red center and the red edge with the orange center. After 3 DNF's, I started to wonder why the heck I could no longer solve a cube, only to discover I assembled it the wrong way. Even the corners were all assembled wrong since I assembled the core first and put the corners together looking at the core. FMCL. :fp

Seeing as it was already tensioned and all, I did not bother to fully disassemble it again so I just swapped the center caps and the red and orange corners pieces, so now it's fixed but the centers look like this.

While cleaning my 6x6 the corner breaks of the corner stock the visible part with the stickers.

Are you using R' U' F' (T perm) F U R? I find that one's really easy to perform.

Went from a PB of 38 seconds 2 and a half weeks ago, to a PB of 18.79 yesterday. I'm way happy with how fast I've been improving, but not my hands hurt from practicing so much and so intensely. Gotta take a break for a few days so I don't get tendonitis. !FML!

The only saving grace is that at least now I'm forced to practice f2l look-ahead and recognition, since I can't to anything else.

 

[Julian]

Double parity 4x4 solve. OLL parity at 40.xx

 

[RNewms27]

Made an order Monday night that would have gotten to me today, but USPS "missent" it. Now it can be from a day to a week longer until it gets to the correct post office. THEN I will get it, unless they missend that one.
