Round 54 - OH

53.78, 45.34, 37.13, 43.51, 55.50, 37.82, (32.15), 35.94, 41.65, 33.05, (DNF), 32.59 = 41.63.
OMG. The 32.15 could have been sub-30, if I knew the 2 gen Z perm. Finished OLL at like 25 sec D:. The first 50 was the result of cold hands, the second 50 was the result of 3 look OLL...

This is a bit more indicative of where I am right now in terms of speed. My look ahead was really working well this morning. I am not color neutral and so I always do the cross with white. Somehow the crosses seemed easy for me for most of the solves and I don't know much about edge control yet but the olls and plls I was ending up with weren't all that hard as well.

I have most of the plls memorized and I would say close to 30 olls. Still trying to find and easy way to memorize the olls since I learn by repetition and have a hard time duplicating any one oll so I can repeat it. What I've been doing is just solving the cube until 1 comes up that I don't know and try and memorize it.

Me and my oldest son ordered 2 Lun Hui. He took the black one and I was stuck with the white... or so I thought. It seems that lookahead is much better on a white cube.
1.37s faster than last time (damn those CN tries:mad:)

Comments: Well i decided to start using my 15 second inspection to try to get a bit more than half the cross and that really helped on some but was a bit confusing on other solves. overall i was happy with the progress i made with the inspection.

Comments: using Roux, the 59 was a pop and search under the desk, then solve before reaching back up for the timer
ive recently swapped from CFOP to Roux because of recognition problems, if i was still CFOP i might be sub 20 by now
as you can see not consistent at all

Round Fifty-Four​
Average: 39.52
Cube: Alpha V
Event: 3x3x3 speedsolving (Fridrich with 2-Look OLL)

1. 43.91
2. 35.02
3. [27.21 (knew the full oll)]
4. 43.83
5. 32.15
6. 37.53

9. 42.47
10. 40.18
11. [49.53]
12. 46.40

Started trying to learn EO+Line a couple of days ago so i didn't think my times had improved much.
sub 40 :)
 
Roux. I think I'm consistent sub-30 now. Might as well graduate...

Round Fifty-Four​
Average: 25.62
Cube: Dayan Guhong

Event: 3x3x3 speedsolving (New method: Roux)
Individual Times:

1. 24.66
2. 28.36
3. 26.50
4. Timer Malfunction... But got 23.68 after re-doing
5. [31.66 (First two blocks were teh suckz. Had, like, a 5 - 7 second pause on the second block... Fail)]
6. 26.97
7. 22.61
8. 24.05
9. [22.57]
10. 25.78
11. 27.05
12. 23.55

I think I should try out sub-20. I think that would take considerably longer, though... My current goal is sub-25, and I'm almost there.
 
Round 54: Avg 41.59
Method: Petrus


Individual times:42.32, 41.63, 39.55, 42.45, 36.80, 48.59, 39.45, 40.74, 43.56, 39.78, 43.98, 42.47

An improvement, but I messed up loads, wasn't warmed up, bad light, no music and guinea pigs distracting me (plus any other excuses you can think of...)

Still rushed my solves rather than going slighlty slower and tracking pieces/lookahead. Aiming for a sub-40 average next round...!

12. 47.09

Average: 46.52

New cube, the Dayan Guhong, changed from black pieces to white pieces, so color recognition was off, and I didn't track pieces. My first few solves were when I was unused to the cube, then I gradually got used to the cube.
