One-Answer 3x3x3 Question Thread

[TDM]

On 3x3, what average would you consider:
Decent? Sub-1:00
Sort of fast? Sub-30
Fast? Sub-20
Really fast? Sub-15
Amazing? Sub-12
World Class? Sub-10
Just wondering.

but I'll probably disagree with myself in about half an hour.

what is UF and UD explain with either diagram or something like that

In what context? UF is usually the edge piece on the U and F faces (where the white-green edge is on this image assuming the three visible faces are R, U and F). Is UD a typo?

I don't consider myself fast and I'm bordering sub-20 right now. I'd say something like:
decent sub-35/40
sorta fast sub-20/24
fast sub-15/17,
really fast sub-12/13
amazing sub-10
world class sub-8
But you guys are faster than me so you should know better. I just talk about how it felt like when I was at that point... below sub-20 I am just guessing but if I was sub-10 I would feel amazing ;-)

I would say sub 15 is fast, I'm getting there!

Not sure but something around sub-8 / sub-9?

For all the color neutral people: In the first few seconds of inspection how do you choose what color to solve?

So, you mostly agree with TDM... interesting. We should do a poll on this

For all the color neutral people: In the first few seconds of inspection how do you choose what color to solve?

I'm just dual color neutral (white / yellow) and only very rarely decide to solve on another color cross. Those times are when the cross on that other color is just crazy simple (like 2-3 moves). Regarding how I choose between white and yellow I first look at how many edges are already solved or 1-move solvable on each color and if both are more or less similar I try to find some pair that can be easily preserved or something like that. If I still can't decide I choose white. I'm not a very advanced solver so I will be happy to hear more feedback on this as well. I assume that for full CN people it is more difficult to choose between 6 options.

You should use the search feature.

What is a necessity for getting a sub-30 average with CFOP?

What is a necessity for getting a sub-30 average with CFOP?

These aren't a necessity, but it's very good to know/have them:
- PLL
- F2L
- 2-look OLL
- a decent cube
- 1-look cross

 

[BlueShift77]

I'm not color neutral currently, but I choose the cross color that can be solved the most quickly.

Isn't that what colour neutrality is?

 

[SuperMud]

What time to expect?

If i know 2 look oll and pll and intuitive f2l, around what time should i expect to get when solving? I do have a speed cube.

Just to clarify, I don't know full pll. I know 2 LOOK oll and 2 LOOK pll.
