Wow, almost 3 seconds faster than last week. I just went really slow and turned carefully, to avoid lockups. Obviously, it's worth it for me to do that. The problem is it's not quite fast enough that way for me to get sub-30. But it's better than the alternative.

Average 12: 24.48 (PB)
Best Average: 22.59 (PB)

Bad finish and stupid +2 for the 24.06 but whoa o.O

I have no clue wtf happened. Barely did maybe 30 solves total for the entire week, and those were just casual. Haven't worked on anything, thought my lookahead would be crappy (it still kinda was shaky at times). Jammed my fingers playing volleyball yesterday and currently have my ring finger wrapped so some moves are kinda awkward for me. I was hoping for no sup-30 solves for the entire average, but was too excited at how well things were going by the last solve =/ Had a lot of sub-25 solves too o.O I guess I shouldn't complain, I'm just a bit confused about where this progress came from.

I've gotten so used to getting the cross wrong I have nice quick fixing techniques! Shows how long I've been cubing badly

When you mess up the cross, don't destroy your F2L pairs. Instead, use M slices to pull edges out and put them in the correct place. This keeps your F2L slots saved, but also allows you to help with any misplaced cross pieces.

However, if you put opposite edges together(like, green where blue should go, and vice versa), just do this alg: M2 U2 M2.
