POLL: Most difficult time barrier to break!

[xXdaveXsuperstarXx]

What time barrier did you have the most trouble with? Why?

 

[IamWEB]

I think most people will probably tell you sub-20.
It's the point where you must truly rely upon LL recognition and good look-ahead in your F2L. Also, a fast cross. You must do more than just a lot of speedsolving for practice, to pass this barrier.

1:00 was REALLY hard for me.

 

[brunson]

Sub 5 is harder than ll of them combined.

 

[Daniel Wu]

Sub-15 is the hardest barrier because I still havn't broken it yet. It's pretty hard.

 

[xXdaveXsuperstarXx]

Hm. Well, I still working on the Sub 20 barrier.

 

[StachuK1992]

still working sub-20.
I've been sub-25 for like 6 months now.
I suck at cubing.

 

[Logan]

I've been stuck at upper 30's for a month or 2.

Sub 1:00 wasn't that hard. Just practiced a lot and it just happened....

Sub 50 and 40 just zoomed by. It was a piece of cake. I learned the PLLs to get sub 40 though so that helped a lot.

Sub 30.... eh that was actually pretty difficult for me. It wasn't until I learned what look ahead was until I finally got past it.

Sub 20
This one was really tough. Sub 25 with lookahead wasn't that difficult but consistently below 20 was really hard.

Sub 15
I haven't got past this yet. I'm still like a 16-17 second average which is still hard for me to get past. I really should START learning my OLLs lol.

 

[krazaeda]

Still desperately trying to get sub-20. I'm pretty sure I'll go to 18 average this summer as I will be on holiday and won't spend that much time on school. So hopefully I'll have plenty of time to cube and improve my look-ahead on a daily basis.

 

[ISuckAtCubing]

sub 20, because that is the only one that is hard for me, and i havent get up to sub 15 yet

 

[stufkan]

Sub 60 was quite hard for me, and then sub 50 and sub 40 came easy... I am now struggling with sub 30 and have like 3 times got 26 averages.. It is strange how i either get a really good or a really bad average.. *struggling on*

I guess the full OLL will help quite a bit! And on Friday I go to Russia for a week, so I hope to improve my F2L a lot in that week^^

Ignoring possible relativistic effects (like sending your stackmat away on a spaceship traveling close to the speed of light), sub-1 is very difficult to break. Sub-0 is impossible.

nothing is impossible...

 

[mrbiggs]

Anyone else read the thread and go "POLL? I've heard of COLL and EOLL..."

For me, sub-20 was hard but sub-18 is harder.

Tell me when someone went -.01 seconds for a solve and then I will believe you.

It may not be possible at this point in time, but someday, it will be. Although... we are negating relativistic effects...

Sub 20 was really really really tough for me, and in my opinion really hard to do with Petrus. Since then I've stopped insisting on constant improvement and it's been coming to me fine. My best avg is at 16.2 right now, but I bet sub 15 won't at least until the end of this year, and that's probably early.

 

[Lucas Garron]

I'd like to vote sub-10. Also, breaking any barrier requires breaking the higher ones, so the lowest barrier is always the de facto most difficult. :rolleyes:

 

[Zaxef]

Sub 1:00 to 0:30 were fairly quick and easy for me, Sub 25 (and most likely sub 20) will prove to be the hard barriers I think.
