Hi , Belgian noob BenVdd reporting for duty!

[BenVdd]

oh apparantly it did save the scramble. 00:21.76 U F2 R2 D2 R2 F2 U' R2 D L B U2 F' D2 U2 L2 B' U F U'
haven't checked to see if its a lucky one yet. i'm lazy


EDIT: ok it is a pretty easy cross...

 

[Kattenvriendin]

36.51 for me on that one. Pretty good for me hehe.

 

[MarcelP]

I will try tonight after work

EDIT: I could not wait. In the dark (It's 5:30 in the morning) and still got a 23.79! Nice scramble

 

[BenVdd]

aww is it really such a good scramble, dammit!

 

[MarcelP]

No, it is absolute a NL (None lucky) scramble. Like you said, only one visible pair in upper layer. Cross is not all that lucky. I call lucky 4 moves or less.

 

[lcsbiffi]

I got a 25s with that scramble haha it was a very easy cross

 

[BenVdd]

Just did another timed Ao12 and I broke all my PB's (except for the ao100 obv. )

So i both ended up with a 19.87 and a 20.31 wich are both better than my previous PB. Scrambles :

3. 19.87 B2 R2 F2 D U2 L2 U R2 U' F2 L F2 D F' L U2 L B D' R' U2
10. 20.31 F2 L2 D2 L2 U R2 L2 D B2 D' F2 R B U L' F' D' R F U F'


Haven't checked yet but I guess they must have been lucky?

Absolutely loving my new zhanchi btw

 

[MarcelP]

Awesome!!! I am going to try your scrambles later.

I've been reading this thread the past days, you are improving quite fast! Keep op the good work!
Have you even been to a competition?

 

[BenVdd]

I haven't been to a competition yet

 

[Geert]

well, hopefully you will in the near future. Competition are so much fun!

 

[BenVdd]

I will probably go to a competition eventually ^^

 

[Geert]

there is one in Frankfurt a few days from now

 

[lcsbiffi]

Omg, you're improving too fast, you have to stop so I can catch up with you hahaha

 

[Goosly]

I will probably go to a competition eventually ^^

2,3 march, close to Hasselt:
Zonhoven Open 2013
We want you to come!

 

[ThomasJE]

Omg, you're improving too fast, you have to stop so I can catch up with you hahaha

Agreed. I'm feeling really slow now...

 

[BenVdd]

I'm sure my progress will be put to a halt soon I think i'm gonna leave the 2 Gperms (the ones where the bar is on the adjecent faces rather than opposite) , don't feel like learning them. They are just a Tperm+Uperm anyway gonna try to learn some OLLs instead.

 

[BenVdd]

update : Did not learn anything new . did not really time any long sessions.. Guess this update is just to let you know nothing has changed in the last week

 

[BenVdd]

So i did another ao12 out of the blue with very little practice over the last couple of days. Getting dark aswell and i still got a sub 30 (29.83s)
and I feel like i only had a couple of decent solves..
my times were : 30.52, 26.58, 36.76, 31.87, 23.31, 27.49, 34.54, 28.65, 29.65, 27.68, 33.11, 28.17

So I am glad to see that when I feel as tho I am failing I can still get a sub 30. Feels good ^^

 

[MarcelP]

... can still get a sub 30. Feels good ^^

On bad days I am glad to get sub 40 solves.. LOL
