I have gotten several sub-40s, not consistently sub-40, though.

35.86 4x4 PB by a whopping 5 seconds. Easy edge pairing into a T Oll into an A perm.

Starting the kilominx grind! I've got a qiyi coming in the mail, and will start as soon as it gets here
As I'm sure you've already seen, I'm going to be racing @TheCubingCuber347 and @cuberswoop to sub 20. Even though they have a big lead, I expect to pass both of them relatively quickly.

Mega, giga, now kilo... I bet if I got a kilo, I could probably get a sub-20 single within the first 3 solves.

I dare you to do just mega corners.

I dare you to do just mega corners.

I have a video on just that (modding a megaminx to become the best performing kilominx)

 

[Eli Apperson]

The comp went very well. My best times were:
3x3: 10.46 Ao5, 8.82 single
4x4: 45.xx Ao5, 40.38 single
2x2: 3.28 Ao5, 2.60 single

 

[Eli Apperson]

New practice schedule:
2x2: I want to learn EG 1 and get gud
3x3: Breaking down the individual parts of my solves and fixing each one, one at a time.
Kilominx: Yes

 

[Eli Apperson]

Plan for week 1:
2x2: Learn the sune EG-1 Cases
3x3: Learn good algs for the dot OLL's and good fingertricks
Kilominx: Grind solves and learn some more of OLL for

Just wonder, but averages for Megaminx?

You can look at my PB sheet, but about 1:50-1:55

Oh, I am a bit ahead of you. I average sub 1:25, rapidly approaching sub 1:20

How good of you to notice. Just a question, do you normally go around one the forums and tell people that you are faster than them lol?

Sorry, I didn't realize that I was kinda being rude. I was just trying to give my progression for the race. The 1/2/3 for Mega, 6 and 7, remember?

Yeah I gotcha, and I don't really care, but I know some people might get offended by it. I thought we called the race off for the time being. And you are really far ahead of me...

Oh yeah, that's right. You were busy getting ready for your first ever comp, one more than I have ever attended.

 

[Eli Apperson]

Very happy with this. My goal for 3x3 was a sub 10 single and I got 3 of them!

Dang, nice job! I am hoping to be sub-10 soon, too. Gotta keep up the practice.
Just wondering, when you podiumed for 2x2, was there a prize?
