Kattenvriendin from The Netherlands

Yes indeed!

I have taken the glued corners to the dremel and very carefully smoothed the bottom of the stalks and took the excess flash off. Now it is on to removal of ropes and assembly in a little bit.

Man.. stressful little cube alright LOL

First though.. must.. feed.. cats..

I swear they think they never get fed.

Because I don't like people femaledogging (sigh censor), whining and moaning about all sorts of things like I see them do on other channels.

Comments like "FIRST!"
Or.. seen on another channel "Your nails suck".

That sort of stuff. I don't feel like dealing with that childlike behavior, so things are so much nicer without comments :)

If people really have a good comment to make they will know how to contact me ;) :)
 
I don't blame you for that. YouTube comments are the most uninformed, argumentative, childish, and petty things on the Internet. I've never posted anything to YouTube, but I would disable comments as well.
 
Exactly!

Now there are channels where the FIRST brigade is also wreaking havoc but the rest of the comments are informative and dealing with the content. I don't know if you know superantoniovivaldi? Look that one up on youtube. VERY high quality videos, and the comments are mostly to the point there. I am glad he hasn't fallen victim to the stupidcommenters yet :)
 
ROFL yeah.. that is another one.

Well I have done a few solves on the panshi, I average around 35 on it or so. Not bad at all I must say. You get used to the clicky feel of it quite fast, and it is less prone to overshooting. I have adjusted my grip so I can go full force on my main without it flying off the rails.
 
Anyone else have a cube that needs a while to work in before it gets REAAAALLY smooth? Like it needs to warm up or something. Mine does.. needs a bundle of solves and then all of a sudden it's like it hits the second carburetor or something and slams on the gas pedal. With owner having no choice but to hold on tight to the steering wheel as cube sets off for another record solve!

Best time in this session is 22.80 L2 B2 U' B2 D2 B2 F2 D L2 U2 F2 R' L' U' L' F2 D2 R2 B' D L' U2

and guess what.. with these 25 solves we are sub30 for the first time!

(ok I still feel like around 35ish, which is what my averages are most times :) )

Not if you keep practicing as well! ;)

Do note that I have been training since oh.. 8ish this morning LOL I know that in Eindhoven I have to get there on time to throw out a LOT of timed solves before the actual competition. Cube needs to warm up, I need to warm up.. and then.. there is this ONE factor that I am now training so hard for so I have some seconds to spare: nerves!! Nerves poop out time which add on your solves. :D

My diet.. hmm.. LOTS of coke (note: the drinkable kind), some bread with casselerib, this evening some rice with shoarma and mushrooms (note: not shrooms), and somewhere in between some brown bean soup (do not eat that before comp though.. you know why..).

Nothing special really.. aside from the sugar and caffeine rush *laughs*



I know now for a fact that speed does not lie in solely knowing all the algorithms that are there to know in the world. I don't even know half of the PLLs for one. I use advanced cross, F2L and then 2-look OLL and PLLs to solve the last bits, with a few beginner's method algorithms thrown in the loop. Why not? If you can throw those out like there is no tomorrow then it can be faster than an official PLL algorithm after all.

We will do many races for we do actual competition solves. I mean, sitting at a table, I scramble your cube and you scramble mine, and then start equally.. Racing each other should take care of some nerves. I have the same problem with being on the spot ;)

Btw, I have been doing only Panshi solves this weekend. I have had three Ao100 around 27 seconds. It really is a fast cube... It is certainly growing on me.
 
It is.. just that I cannot handle the clickiness.. in inhibits my moves :(

As far as racing goes hahahaha I always lose. I had a 2x2 and someone else a 3x3 and I still lost LOL!!

It'll be more of a scramble solve scramble solve (note to self: bring sheet with lots of proper scrambles) ad infinitum for me :)
 
Whahahaha this scramble!

Needless to say I didn't get a record lol always get a dafuq? moment and can't do it anymore ROFL
 
Just for fun.. 5 solves from way back when..

Fun fact: best time back when, that scramble is now my worst.
 
Aww.. that is too bad.

I was slower than this even!

Lemme find those.. ah gotcha.. look, the oldest recorded I could find:

01:49.66 01:49.74 01:46.60 Average


Read them vertically, they are three columns., all from 8 June 2012.

No scrambles available.. which is why I changed the way I stored them around :)
