That's a cool solve I just watched it David. Just a few weeks ago I took that long on 4x4 sighted. :) I had a sub 2 min 4x4 yesterday, but still averaging over 2:30.

Thanks for the video feedback, I told the boys they were popular. :)

Now that sounds cool, I look forward to watching that.

Be prepared for 20 minutes of boring execution (slow execution + some mistakes) and an inexpressive guy that can't even smile at the 2 successes, I'm not like that in real life, I'm all smiles, trust me :P

Sound is broken, I need to put some music but I don't know if I should speed it up or not, maybe I'll just 2x it.

Gotta try it again soon, or maybe 4 :)

I had that dilemma too. Speed up the memo but not the exec. Some strange people (like me) might be interested in watching the exec and seeing what's going on, but nobody's going to be interested in it speeded up. Good music might help :)
 
Just leave it normal speed for Mark, I usually just skip through to see parts of it since I'm not into blind yet. :)

The Yuexiao is growing on me big time. I wanted to compare the two new ones so I did a test. After 5 warm ups with my Gans I did 6 ao12s rotating through the cubes, Gans, Tanglong, then Yuexiao. The Yuexiao beat the Gans by like .1 and that was before I restickered it!

Then doing some practice right now (with my stickers) I had 5 out of 9 sub 20, including two 17, two 18, and one 19. I would have been my first sub 20 ao5 but I had a DNF in there before my last 18. :)
 
Leave exec please. I did 5bld and decided to leave exec in normal speed. One may See the fight with my weakness which is the part of the solve. And nice memory in future. So do normal speed.

I mentioned a while back my brother was working on an original cubing shirt for me. This is what we got. :)

Haha Jason, I'm definitely going to get one xD

I'll anotate the video with what was happening as much as I can, splits for execution are roughly 6, 8 and 6 so not that bad execution for me except that second cube :p

Great t-shirt and wording.

Looks like that guy has been peeling his stickers. Red / orange corner may be due to non-standard colour scheme but the yellow / blue corners are broken. ;)

Haha thanks guys, I'm going to get that fixed and uploaded to redbubble. Can't believe I missed it, I glanced at a couple of the edges to "check" it was valid but overlooked those touching opposites. No wonder I'm not sub 20 yet. :)

Race again, now to sub-4 Ao12? Now you have all the stakes on your favor to win :)

I can't promise to do just 6 solves per day, last couple of days I've done more than 10. I can settle to 10 since I'll do some pairing practice also. My best ao12 is still at 4:39, I'm making a lot of mistakes lately during the last steps of LL.


Cubing is for old people too... that's good :D

I found out my Megaminx and will join the race a little late. Done perhaps 3-4 solves this weekend untimed which I a sure were over 5 minutes. Will do an Ao5 today for WC and we will see where I am at :)

No problem, David, practise all you want. I will do the same. Last time I restricted myself because, at the beginning of the race I was ahead of you by a respectable margin. Now we are much closer with my best Ao12 being around 4:32 but you are probably ahead of me in fact, as my PB single is still 4:01 and Ao5 around 4:13. Your 3:37 and 4:01 seem almost unreachable to me right now.

Nice. The more the merrier!!!

Also, @Jason: Nice times & improvement and, very nice t-shirt!!! Maybe I'll get one too. The CFOP2 logo is genius!!! Even though I don't consider myself old yet :p

Just to ask, how do you guys go about doing your LL on mega?
Click to expand...

Funny that you ask as I have just replied to you on this on the Accomplishment thread! :)

I do EO with FRUR'U'F' and FURU'R'F' (it takes two at most)
Then I do EP with Sune and Antisune (it should take two at most, if done well, which I not always do)
Then I do CP with "front" Niklas (it also should take two at most but I have to learn to do it in both directions, so right now it is more like 3 or 4 of these)
The I do CO with beginners (8 moves per corner).

Total time in average (except for easy LL) around 1 minute, maybe more.

Conclusion: My LL sucks. Looking for a better method... and spare time to learn it.
