For today’s daily ZBLL ao100, I realized that when I learned the cases, I got lazy on recognition system for 4 of my cases (from u and t) so I used today to tidy those up

Oh no don’t end up like me. Uhh I have not cubed in the last couple months but I’ll try to help. I dunno what your solving looks like but for my TPS was really good when I was trying to get a sub 10 ao5 was using more of my inspection, but mainly efficient F2L with lookahead. If you can eliminate as many possible pauses that’s great. Lemme know if you need any specific help. I know my advice seems pretty basic.

 

[OtaMota]

Oh no don’t end up like me.

I think it’s happening
