You literally did a happy dance? I'm one of those boring dudes that don't react much, I get a smile or say "yes" or a swear word at most (in a bad solve).

That's not boring, it stoic. ;)

Congratulations!!! You are progressing a lot in 3x3 lately. You're catching us at 3x3 but I'll never catch you at 4x4 and beyond :(

I'm getting more and more good singles. Unfortunately, my average isn't really shifting because I screw up so much :meh:.

The only things I've been doing different lately is a lot of OH practice and I turned off all my inspection timers.

Happy Friday guys. Have a quick laugh at my expense. Just finished putting it back together :D

I can't quite laugh yet. I feel like when someone falls and it looks hilarious but you can't laugh because you're afraid they got hurt. :) Glad it's back together, I probably have a couple years at least before I mess with a cube that big (if ever).
 
I got really close to popping my 5x5 the other day, when I'd just got it, I was like halfway through the turn and just in time I saw a 2 pieces at the back getting ready to pop out. I know nothing about putting them together so I spent about 5 minutes trying to jam those pieces back in so it wouldn't pop. Got there in the end

That looks like my kinda nightmare but glad you got it back together!

Someone popped my Yuxin 5x5 at the UKs not long before I was due to compete. Luckily he managed to put it back together in time as I'd never have been able to. I did get a mini pop on my 2nd round that I had to force back into place.
 
You wouldn't believe how close I was to my first sub 2 on my 4x4...

At least the number ocd in me is happy with this time [emoji14]

Oh right, haha, I didn't notice as the image was so small on my phone screen. It's this flowchart here:

Gotta love those hump-back bridges where paths cross. Reminds me of circuit diagrams in old electronics textbooks from the 70's. They went out of favour in the 80's. Along with 'bed-spring' inductors.
 
I modded my V-Cube 6 a few years ago so had that apart a few times. Don't think I ever popped my Shenshou 6 but wow this Moyu was far more difficult to put back together. Always found even order cubes the worst to rebuild with the hidden inner mechanism for the non existent middle layer.

Ouch they do not come much closer but by looking at the times in the shot it wont be long before you get one under the bar :)
