It took me way longer than you to get to that timing. Keep it up and you can beat me. Maybe, just maybe, you may become the world champ.

Thanks a lot! But world champ will take looooooooooooong haha. I will try my best. Same goes to you, I hope you get great times as well!

And also to Katten Vriendin, whose thread we are hijacking right now

*giggle* I have to admit that I get distracted by other puzzles indeed. But there is something awesome about solving things like gigaminxes *grin*

Good for you then! I can only solve 3x3 and 4x4 though(2x2, 1x1 and 0x0 too)

Gigaminx? Wow...

Me too 3x3, 2x2, 1x1, 0x0, no 4x4 Did you see MMAP's 1x1 tutorials? LOL

I solved a 2x2 once at a Cube Meet, but I don't have one. I didn't even time myself. And I even registered for it for my first comp lol

 

[Kattenvriendin]

No worries on the hijacks.. I have had pregnant women in here as well so.. nah. LOL No probs there.

Gigaminx.. yep.

But not at a competition though.. the timer runs out before I get the thing solved (takes me a day with breaks lol). The fun in those is really in the solve itself. Just like with that 4x4x6 that I can REALLY recommend by the way CBC has a good tutorial on it.

Nice! But I would like to focus on WCA Puzzles only. I will order SS 4x4 5x5, Mega and Pyra from zcube.cn. Also Calvin's Sq-1 from India's cube store (shop.scmu.in)

Also I would love it if my Intro thread would come back to life

Hey Katten!

First sub-20 try out the scramble, very easy!

Well done!!! See there you go!

I will do that in a bit, first my next set of 50. You can see that I am getting tired alright:

LOL not so easy for me.

Great! On that scramble, easy X-cross

z2 y D R' F R2 L2

Continue on with that and then tell me!

 

[Kattenvriendin]

It's something I'd have to see in order to do it. Isn't something you can "learn" per se.

 

[MarcelP]

Hey Katten!

First sub-20 try out the scramble, very easy!

19.27 R2 F2 L2 F2 D' B2 F2 U R2 U2 L2 B' U B2 L' U R' B R2 B2 R' U

I am at a birtday but brought my cube and iPad. I quickly did that scramble and had 19.617 in Chaostimer. Nice!

 

[Lchu613]

Nice! I tried it but somehow screwed up cross

 

[TP]

Kattenvriendin, Marcel: What do you think about your force cubes? How are they compared to stickerless/regular Zhanchi?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

My force cubes aren't better than my main. I DID buy the primary color and purple zhanchi later on from zcube.cn (they call the primary the milky), and those two have become close seconds to my main, with the force cubes ranked behind those two speed wise.

 

[MarcelP]

My main is a black Zhanchi. My force cubes are real nice, but nothing special. My stickerless Zhanchi feels smoother and faster. But I think that is deception only because without stickers it makes a different noice and must be lighter in weight.

 

[jayefbe]

Is your main a black or white zhanchi? I've noticed that my white zhanchis are much smoother than the others. I'm actually ordering some more as backups, since I love my white zhanchi so much and I'm paranoid about them changing the production and never getting the same thing again. Like you, my primary and purple zhanchi are a close second, but the white is most certainly my favorite.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Guess what.. my main is neither. It's yellow!

 

[cxinlee]

Guess what.. my main is neither. It's yellow!

Cool! Mine is green, but maybe I might get a yellow or red one in the future. It must be fun for you to have cubes of different colors, and lots of different puzzles. Variety is the spice of life.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Exactly, that is why nothing is the same here.

SAVE for my collection Shengshou 2x2 and up, those are all white.

 

[MarcelP]

Strange, my Purple Zhanchi is also my second favorite. That is my current record holder
