Let me sum that up:

Now I have a faster 4X4X4 single than Schmidt.
Now I have a faster 3X3x3 single than Schmidt.
Now I have a faster Pyraminx single than Schmidt.
Now I have a faster 3X3x3 OH single than Schmidt.

LOL

Truth is Søren is probably faster than me in everything. :)

You finally beat me at 3x3 even though you've been faster than me (and still are) always, congrats and wow, nice single!

I've taken 4x4 single and 2x2 averages with me to try to make it even [emoji13]

What a weekend

LOL, yeah a 58 and then a 8.. The 58 was a good solve untill I came to my last layer case. I forgot how to solve that one, so I scrambled the Pyraminx and started over :) I never practice Pyra so the 8 single was very nice :)

Congratulations on your new official PBs.

Have your nerves become less of a problem after attending a few competitions?

You need a new target now... official sub-20 average?
Click to expand...

Thanks! No, nerves are still a problem.. My first solve was 2X2. It was a 14 second solve on a very very easy scramble. It is just that I do not have my fingers under controle. But after 2X2 and 4X4 and Pyraminx I am less nervous when Rubiks cube started. With 4X4 I had a pop on the first solve. :) Still managed to repair and stay within cutoff. I had 5 double parities..LOL. Then at 3X3 the first solve was a nice scramble. Easy cross.. but my hands did not cooperate, no look ahead because of stress resulting in a 26 seconds solve.. Then the next 3 solves I have no look ahead.. And then the last solve (the 17.25 solve) Bam.. steady fingers and great look-head.. So that when my whole day was allright. After that I had no nerves any more and second round I solved slow with great look ahead. Just trying to get a great average. And it worked.

My new target is getting great at Skewb and 5X5. I have the AoChouang. I did a few solves on them, all around 9-10 minutes. At the competition Erik Akkersdijk and Mats did a few solves on my cube ranging between 1.05 and 1.30.. that was cool :) I need to be able to do that too.. LOL

That's pretty cool. What do they think of your new MoYu compared to the ShengShou?

I feel like I ought to put some time into 5x5x5. The WeiSu and AoSu breathed life into my 4x4x4 solves so I'll get an AoChuang and see if I get more enjoyment from 5x5x5 with the MoYu magic. :)

Yeah, the Aochuang has the typical MoYu feeling. Smooth, no locks etc. I do recommend it.

Nice.... a 5 sec T-Perm ;)
you should have listened to Sneaklyfox when she tried to teach you that U2 T perm
Click to expand...

Yeah, when I saw the reconstruction I went back to the video to check it (again and again). I can do T-perm in about 2 - 2.5 secs. I think the setting up of U2 and AUF with U2 made it a lot slower LOL, but also, I remember this stage in the competition. I knew I was doing great on this solve, I did the PLL not at top speed because I did not want to mess up :)
