p.s. Just completed my fifth timed session on 2x2x2 and I got an Ao100 of 7.97. It might be slow but then again so is my 3x3x3. :)

No, that is not slow. I average 9 - 10 seconds :)

Oooh... I just knocked by 10 seconds off my Ao5 for 4x4x4 as well. :)

Nice! You guys are all faster than me on 4X4.. I really should start getting more into that. :)

I wondered what you average for 2x2x2. Sub-8 seconds was what I wanted given my current 3x3x3 times.

I'm very erratic at the moment and prone to silly mistakes. My favourite mistake is having a great solve, glancing at the timer during the OLL parity alg then ending up back at solving centres, lol.

Edit: Just knocked 1 minute off my 5x5x5 single. I'm still making do with my Shengshou which doesn't make life easy, lol.

What was the cause of three DNFs?

Some weird timer thing. I don't know because they couldn't recreate it. I put my hand on the timer, took them off to start solving, but apparently the timer stops almost as soon as I lift my hands off (there is a rule in the regulations for if the timer stops < 0.06 or something like that then you're allowed another solve) but it was always just a bit above that (like 0.09 once). I have no idea what I could have done to cause it to stop and I couldn't recreate it myself either. Good thing I didn't care very much about 2x2 and it was the first event. After that I was deathly afraid of DNFs caused by timer. Even when my Zhanchi exploded I didn't dare DNF it but rather took a > 1:00 solve. Cuz if I had another DNF I would have gotten a DNF average and that would have been extremely stupid.

Ahh... I found a little bit of consistency today and knocked another 7 seconds off my Ao12. It's kind of refreshing trying a different event with easier PBs. :)

LOL, I did my 5X5 from weekly also with SS. I bet with my Moyu Auchuang it would have been much better times. It was in another room and I did not feel like getting up to get it ;)

LOL. Now that's what I call lazy. :)

I ordered myself an AuChuang last night. I hope it lives up to my expectations after watching several unboxings / reviews!
