TWO PB ao5s in ONE DAY?!?!? congrats bro, this will help with practice for ridgefield

I was popping off on clock yesterday
I was somehow averaging almost sub-10

 

[Discomantis]

Ok, so I have a comp today:

Here are my goals:

Clock: Sub-10 official average

Pyraminx: PR average

5x5: Decent average

6x6: I REALLY want to beat my PR single. It sucks and it has standing since my 3rd comp… (This is my 21st comp!)

7x7: PR single

You used a semicolon for the 5x5 thing btw

Thx I fixed it

 

[JDAW6]

Thx I fixed jt

*it

 

[Discomantis]

I made 7x7 second round without even making cutoff!!!!!

YOOO NICE JOB BRO

Love your tab 'Other Cubing Stuff'

 

[BVCuber13]

Yeah it just has my cstimer tabs and my PBs sheet so I can update it when needed

 

[Discomantis]

Ok, so over the past week I ended up learning 4BLD!

I did my first attempt, and here’s how it went:

It went pretty well. It ended up being an hour and 11 minute attempt.

single: DNF

Time List:
1. DNF(1:11:56.00) L2 F' L2 F B R B' U2 B2 D B2 R2 F2 D B2 U R2 U L' D Fw2 Uw2 B R' U2 R' Uw2 B R F Uw2 B2 Rw2 Uw B' R' B Uw Fw' Rw2 U Uw' Rw D' B' x2 y2

I have also been getting more into 3BLD. I have been making a letter pair sheet, and have already done the ones for A. I think I will learn M2 next.

Most of the time on this attempt was spent on tracing wings. I find memorizing wings to be quite difficult.

 

[BVCuber13]

what method are you using for wings? I thought you already needed to know M2 to know how to solve wings...

I know how M2 works but I don’t know the algorithms for special cases and parity

You should learn it, there are only 4 special cases and the parity alg is really easy

x2. Although, especially in the beginning, it is very easy to mix up the special cases with one another, ex: Doing I instead of S, and C instead of W.

Ok all, so I just learned 7 simul!
However, it takes me like forever to do memo, and I am entirely relying on my notes

What I will try to do is I will try memorizing the first few letters over and over, and try to get that in my head. From there, I can add more steps as I go so I can get the method in my head.

I hope to get good at clock with this method!

I just learned 7simul flip as well! after about 2 days of practice, my PB single with the method is 8.83 and my PB ao5 is 9.89. I think with a lot of practice, you can get better with this method.

 

[Discomantis]

Ok, so I ended up revising my notes and made them more clear.

I wrote down my notes for exec and memo on paper so I can access them while solving.

Tomorrow I will practice to start memorizing how to do this method.

4/43 eg-2 when?

 

[Discomantis]

4/43 eg-2 when?

I’m lazy I’ve been putting it off

I’ll probably learn some more algs once I perfect 7simul
