had some good fun F2L practice on the plane! this time is about 4 seconds better than last week, so that's good (tho I'm sure it's coz I just had a big F2L warmup ) as always, slowely feeling more confident in my cross and F2L.... I'll make it someday!!!!!!!!

Average: 53.81

Yay, my first sub-60 average.

nice! i had my first sub-60 average last week (not in this comp - just an average of 12 I did) - good job!

this seems interesting but do i have to do round 76 before i do round 77?

haha beat my PB by 0.02!! last week I got 19.30 on last solve, the 19.28 was a PLL skip and was unexpected, so close to sub 30! will hopefully get it next week. Earlier today I got the hang of looking ahead and now im a beginner at it, times are now mostly sub 40 , my cross improved in a way and times are more consistent. Did an AOE5 vid and got sub30, hmm oh wells , there's always next week.

Avg done during my lunch time, 5 firsts were good then someone came to discuss. When I started again, it was quite bad except the 2 sub 40 at the end.
I made very good times last week, beating all my PB, I hope I'll go on like that.

This CN stuff is hard. I'm having problems when white is involved when it is not the cross color.
There are too many colors to choose from when you decide the cross.
When I started out in round 46 (white cross only) I had an avg of sup-40, and then it took me ~20 rounds to get sub-30, so there is still hope for this CN stuff.

EDIT: If CN means that you are equally fast with all colors, then I'm not quite there yet.

This CN stuff is hard. I'm having problems when white is involved when it is not the cross color.
There are too many colors to choose from when you decide the cross.

Yeah I started trying to go CN this week. I'm still well sup-30 but thought it would be worth trying to change before I get any faster. It's fun but hard. I love seeing a U-perm with white or yellow on the right, it seems so strange. I don't have much trouble deciding which colour to go but I do find it hard to get the cross right (lol) and I also have trouble remembering what colour I'm supposed to be going for. Sometimes I find myself solving F2L with the cross colour from the previous solve which is annoying. OLL and PLL aren't too much different but F2L is definitely confusing. Haven't timed may solves but I did get a 32.xx which showed a bit of promise I guess.
Anyway, good luck with it!

Look at the center piece of the U face. The cross color is the opposite (Not that this knowledge helped me much this week)

Anyway, good luck with it!

Thanks. And you too, if you decide to go CN.
