Fun fact: you can slightly see the text when you quote it

Fun fact: dark mode is good

with J perm's algometer, I compared both Gc perms and see which one is better:
R2' u' R U' R U R' u R2 f R' f': 14.5
R2 U' R U' R U R' U R2 (U D') R U' R' D: 17
that's...surprising...

I tested it with a different algometer and this happens
R2' u' R U' R U R' u R2 f R' f': 15.6
R2 U' R U' R U R' U R2 U D' R U' R' D: 18.2
But...
R2 u' R U' R U R' D x' U2' r U' r': 14.8
moral of the story: Don't 100% trust algometers

Don't 100% trust algometers

ok I guess

 

[CubeRed]

ok I guess

If anyone comes up with a accurate, universal algometer that is compatible to all algs such as ZBLL, ZBLS, COLL etc, they would be praised by all the cubers from the present and future alike.

Entirely unsurprising for me, the second one is virtually unusable and the first one is sub one (0.997, yes, but you don’t need to know that)

Sub-20 when?

The good thing about clock is that you improve easily, really all you need to do is practise and find your flaws.

Thanks! I'll keep practicing!

somehow I feel like I'm stuck at sub-30 at clock

Nice, dude.

In between school and Hypixel I still manage to do 25-50 solves a day on clock and still improve, it might just be a negative mindset you have, in which case you should focus on getting sub 25 or sub 27 instead of like sub 15 or something.

Edit: and do a lot of solves a day, even if it is untimed during dinner or reading

Thanks for the tips! It'll be helpful!

 

[Melvintnh327]

new clock pb: 20.336
EDIT: NEW CLOCK PB SUB-20 18.938 LET'S GOOOOO
Edit 2: I realize to be good at clock I need to lookahead
