wow, I'm just not cut for prepared solves :p

Got a 17.xx on my first try, then down to 13.20 in 4 more, then a big pause.

I decided to try it again this evening and did 4 different solves on the same scramble, how weird is that? And no, my times didn't improve. I'm going to watch some of your videos to decide if I'm plain stupid or plain slow, hehe.

Well, if you got A 17.XX on your first try then you are not slow :) Prepared solves are just harder than you think. There is just a speed limit to every person I guess. I am also slower than 90% of the people on this forum.

My PB ao50 is 24.35. On each of the last 3 days, I did an ao50 and got 24.36. Freaky...

LOL.. the cube gods are messing with you. Nice progress btw. We are almost at same speed.

You are not slower than 90% of people on this forum haha. I'd say you're near the top half for sure. There aren't that many people sub 10, but there's a ton of people sup 30.

Yeah but I am more of a sub 30 than a sub 10 person. LOL. This scramble from Schmidt was the first time ever for me to get sub 10 solves.
 
In other news, I had my first single PB in about 3 months today - 12.57 with an (unforced) OLL skip!

Inspired by Marcel's 13.30...

But mine isn't on film, so did it not happen? ;-)

More PB crushing today! Was on fire so extended my usual ao50 to an ao100. Ao100 = 24.00, bao50 = 23.55, bao12 = 22.5

WHOAAAA!! That is insane!! Mark you are doing awesome!! Great progress man! Keep it up.. Hopefully will your plateau come only when you are sub 20 ;) (I had a 6 months plateau at about 26 secs average)

Nice, pip! Well, according to video documentation, Marcel is faster than me. I think my fastest solve on cam is 15.xx from my slow turning video. Maybe it's time to make a new video. Sub-15 Ao5, you think?

Well yeah, but you had a 13.xx single on your first competition right? I would love to see a cool Ao5 of you Melody!
