how are you so fast at one hand??

lol.

I figure it's from my decades of being a violinist (doing crazy stuff very fast with my left hand, you know). I was pretty much semi-professional. So I think I have some advantage in finger agility and things like well-trained muscle memory. It's also quite easy for me to learn new algs.

Wow. haha. Yea, I was wondering why cause your two hand to one ratio is really good.

The only other person I know who has a great two to one ratio is TimMc and maybe Faz...

Is it, really? I have no clue. What's the normal ratio? I thought OH is about double the 2H time. I'm something like that but a little less than double. I think there are other people who have about the same as me too.

Phil Yu probably has the best. If he practiced 2H and moch as he does OH, he would be one of the best solvers in the world.

 

[MarcelP]

I ... being a violinist .... I was pretty much semi-professional.

And now? Still a violinist?

Also, in bold is my PB avg. 5 Avg. 5: 32.47

I use Petrus, and this is good for me considering I don't practice very often and don't really know what my averages are. I have an a lot of looks last layer, and don't use corner-edge pairs for the last two slots in Petrus. Is this good considering my methods?

Finally new PB in OH. It have been more than a month since last time.
Today I tried to use my 50mm ZhanChi that I got two days ago. I have used a 55mm earlier, but I think I'll stick with the 50mm now.

[sneaklyfox]

And now? Still a violinist?

Well, I hardly have time to play now, what with three kids and all. Not like few hours a day and competitions and performances and such way back then. The only time I really take out my violin now is to demonstrate something to my students (I actually teach violin and piano privately part-time). Occasionally, I play for church or weddings.

 

[MarcelP]

Cool stuf. Right now I am doing a bachelor study at night time but I am close to graduating. When finished I want to pick up a study of a new instrument. I am thinking about piano. I would love to be able to play the piano. I played drums as a kid (untill 18 years or so)

Yea, I know. I was talking about people I know personally. But yea, Phil Yu is insanely good at OH.

Hmm... if we talk about people we know personally (in other words, have met in person)... I am the best cuber because I have not really met any other cubers!

Round 133 Ao12 40.37

35.88 42.30 39.44 39.07 46.48 37.86 33.12 49.53 [55.41] 36.61 43.39 (27.74)

About halfway through this I set my new PB for a012 (that is, the previous 6 plus the first 6 of this set) of 39.12. These are very good times for me, mostly because I seem to have got lucky in figuring out the right amount of warming up. The 27.74 was an easy cross and some lucky F2L.

One week holidays + jet lag + sleep deprivation = 4 seconds slower, but I guess it's better than not posting a time at all so I'm happy

next week I'll bounce back, I hope

Shitty solves.. haha. Ah well at least I did some timed ones and I got some good times in the 50s where something went terribly wrong and I was able to fix it quickly.
