Haha, thanks. I was really in the zone though, so I don't think I'll be catching you anytime soon.

I think you have allready caught me.. I do not get 21.5X Ao100's every day. Most of the days I do now, but like yesterday evening I had a 22.1X

If only we knew how to get in the zone.. Wait.. they have drugs for that right? LOL. I bet some 'speed' drugs might help stay focussed.. LOL.. Nah, I prefer to be slow then.

You actually can use drugs for Cubing to benefit you, but they aren't addictive and stuff. If you use a heart rate reducer and take it before a high pressure event it helps you remain calm through it.
 
Nice solve! I think it's time for you to turn up the heat on all your solves. I really do feel that you are already sub 20. You just need to increase your TPS. You still seem to be turning slowly imo.

LOL, if only it was that easy to turn faster. I just have slow hands. These two solves where probably at the best I can do TPS-wise. Any faster and I lose all look ahead. I have been training TPS though. Just did an Ao100 Last Layer this evening. I am sub 6 appearantly. That is quite an achievement. I remember clearly the substep competition little over a year ago when I was averaging 12 seconds last layer. I only need to work on AUF. About 50% of the times I make the wrong turn. There is something just not connected the right way in my brain for it:

Almost another sub-9 (9.08) with this scramble: B2 U F2 L2 F2 L2 R2 D' B2 U2 B2 L' F2 L' F2 D R2 B' D2 F' U'

x2 y' // Inspection
R' B2 d R2 F2 // Cross (5/5)
U R' U' R U2 R' U R // F2L-1 (8/13)
d R U' R' // F2L-2 (4/17)
U L' U' L // F2L-3 (4/21)
U' R' U2 R U' R' U R // F2L-4 (8/29)
U F U R U2 R' U' R U2 R' U' F' // OLL (11/40)
U2 y' l' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R2 // PLL (10/50)

Found an easy F2L but I had to look up the OLL because I didn't know it.
 
Actually I did yellow cross instead of white though white looks pretty easy too.

Scramble: B2 U F2 L2 F2 L2 R2 D' B2 U2 B2 L' F2 L' F2 D R2 B' D2 F' U'

y // inspection
L' F' D' R2 // cross (4/4)
U' R U2 R' U' L U L' U L U' L' // F2L-1 (12/16)
U R U' R' U2 L' U L // F2L-2 (8/20)
y U' L' U' L // F2L-3 (4/24)
U2 R U' R' U R U' R' // F2L-4 (8/32)
U2 // AUF (1/33)

See, I told you I forget solves as soon as they're over. I didn't even realize until I tried to reconstruct it that I skipped LL. I just thought it was a PLL skip. It took awhile for me to figure out what I did because I couldn't figure out why F2L-1 wasn't L' U L U' L U L'.

Nice! The first L' should be a L though.. I have never had a LL skip that I kniow of.. :) I had 22.10 on Yellow cross with no skips..
 
Wow... Nice blue cross, Well the cross is not very easy but all the pairs are so easy:

42. 13.58 U2 L2 D R2 U' L2 B2 U' F2 U2 B2 R U2 B2 D B2 R U' B D' R U'

x y2 // Green on U white on F
R2 y U' R' F R D2 // cross (7)
U R' U R //F2L 1(11)
U2 R U' R' //F2L 2 (15)
y' U2 R U' R // F2L 3 (20)
U' y' R U' y L' U2 L // F2L 4 (28)
OLL (41)
R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U // PLL (55)

EDIT: if this was an LL skip.. I would have soooo a sub 9 :)
 
Update: slowly.. slowly getting there..

Over the last few days I have had multiple sub 22 Ao100's. I have about once or twice a day a sub 20 Ao12..
This morning all solves sucked. I stopped at about 40 solves at 24.XX Arggghhh.. I think there where more than 3 sup 30's.. I do not know how this is even possible.

And this afternoon Ao100 21.45

Best average of 12: 19.40
