Jay!! That is pretty cool!!

I just had this one:

Y34h, 7h4t 1s 4w3s0m3. Haha 1337 speak is fun.

Also, nice solve Marcel! I just got an 18.79 ao12 PB

7h4nk5. And congrats on new PB! I think it's only a matter of time before I beat my PBs again. I'm getting closer with more ease.

Thanks, your cubes solved YTD is amazing! Do you have any goals as to what you want to get to before the end of the year? 36,500 would be a cool milestone.

Since a lot of people in this thread are working towards, or have just had the milestone of a sub 20 ao100, I would like to share this. FINALLY!!!! You were right Marcel!


number of times: 100/100
best time: 15.154
worst time: 33.089

current mo3: 17.478 (σ = 1.85)
best mo3: 16.801 (σ = 0.96)

current avg5: 18.840 (σ = 1.57)
best avg5: 17.161 (σ = 1.38)

current avg12: 19.268 (σ = 2.00)
best avg12: 18.238 (σ = 2.08)

current avg50: 19.817 (σ = 2.48)
best avg50: 19.805 (σ = 1.43)

current avg100: 19.845 (σ = 1.92)
best avg100: 19.845 (σ = 1.92)

session avg: 19.845 (σ = 1.92)
session mean: 20.098

Edit: Nevermind, I did 60 more solves and in the process got a sub 19 ao50 (18.90) got an 18.18 ao12, a 17.16 ao5 and beat my PB ao100 more and now it's down to 19.56

Nah, not that amazing. If I get to 36,500 that would only be the equivalent of 100 cubes per day which is really not a lot at all though I will probably go beyond that. No goal, just a record.

And congrats on your sub-20 averages. Way to go!

Congrats! My session mean was also not sub 20 like yours. But then again, my average was 19.99 Nice progress here in this thread

though I will probably go beyond that. No goal, just a record.

The faster you get the more timed solves you can do per day in your spare time For me 100 on a mon - Friday is a big number.. 30 - 50 sounds more like real for me. But I catch up in weekends

Hey, just wondering how many people use the different alg for T-perm with a U2 AUF.

So, instead of
R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' U2

I use this with the last four moves executed with LH
R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U F' L' U L

Or think of it this way
R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U x U' r' U r

No, not me. I use the standard R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' where last F' is right thumb

 

[MarcelP]

Well, that's a first.. A mean of sub 20, where no sub20 Ao12 in is...

 

[Logiqx]

I try to do 50 solves during lunchtime but I wasn't happy with today's average (22.1s) so I rolled on for another dozen solves...

16.28, 27.56, 22.36, 20.41, 18.04, 23.44, 21.49, 15.67, 16.91, 20.84, 16.63, 21.32

These solves include two PBs - Ao5 18.13 (0.9s improvement) and 19.77 Ao12 (0.6s improvement).

Woohoo... I've finally got a sub-20 Ao12. Isn't it funny how things can turn around during a session?

Same. Generally I only look at the top layer before the PLL, and only think about AUF towards the end of the alg. Which I could do to choose an ending for the T perm I guess, but I don't.

Yeah, I often do a Ao100 in the morning an Ao100 in the evening in weekends. The evening Ao100 is always a lot faster Congrats on your PBs!

I always check AUF after the PLL.. LOL I know... so wrong....

I just caught a sub 20 Ao12 on camera with a 12.44 in there..

You guys should definitely change this! All you need to do is note the colours so while executing PLL you figure out what you'll need to do after it. So a split second of seeing gives you like, 2 seconds of thinking time.

Edit: 12.44 nice! I should film some solves again. I actually have no sub-15 solves on cam!

 

[Rocky0701]

Haha, guys I just got a PLL skip, and then two OLL skips all in a row. What the heck? The PLL skip one was 7. (11.985) U B U' R' D2 F' U2 F' R2 F' D R2 U L2 U' L2 B2 D2 R2 F2 U' (PB) and the two OLL skips were 19 and 14. Close to breaking PB ao5, but I got nervous and blew it.

Yeah, I messed up by learning the PLL's without the last move. For example, my Jb perm is

R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R'

But I should have learned R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U'

It is such a bad habit to break now. But it is on my todo list which will shave another second of my global average.. And yeah, you should film more solves.

Actually, you don't need to change your alg by adding the U'. You just have to change what you look at to determine the AUF, which is all that U' is. For that J perm, the U' is needed if the bar on the left matches the same colour. You don't need any extra moves if the 1x2 bar facing you matches the same colour already.

But the problem is that without U' doing the alg the bar will not end up on a face that I will reconize. For example bar is red, but is placed on a blue side. I have no clue now to do a U or U' after doing PLL. If I had learned the alg with U', then I could have known what to do after PLL, simply before starting the PLL by looking where the red side is.

I remember it by knowing that after the alg, the front 1x2 bar will be in the same place. So if you want to know what the AUF afterwards is, look to see what AUF would solve the front bar.
