I posted in here a couple months ago. Its was funny to see what I wrote. It was certainly true.
I have been cubing for about 9 months and have been stuck at the 20.xx barrier for quite some time, 2 or 3 months. But I have averaged under 24 seconds OH every day this week I just want sub-20 before I have been cubing for one year. Then I can push sub 20 OH shortly after.

I feel slow and this thread is depressing me haha. anywaaays, i've been cubing for about 3 months and 4x4x4ing since 10/10/07 and my pbs are in my sig... so how's my progress? (lie to me... i don't want the truth XD) lol

oh and my excuse for such a slow 3x3x3 is cuz i use a 4x4x4 to take all my times and i cant do triggers with it

 

[Jacco]

I've been cubing since november '07, almost 2 months now. Started with 2-3 minutes, after one month of cubing I competed in Netherlands 2007, averaging ~1:20. Now, after another month of cubing I'm averaging sub-40's. Also started to do 4x4, 5x5 and 3x3 BLD.

 

[jackolanternsoup]

wow... one month and you're getting sub 1:30... lol i have low standards i guess but to me that's fast. good job dude... lol

 

[Jacco]

Well, I just had a lot of time I guess. Nice 4x4 times btw, how do you handle parity? I just can't get those algorithms learned, I'm not doing it very often, because I like the 5x5 more (less parity =P).

 

[AvGalen]

4x4x4 parities are easy to remember if you write them down like this: (small letters are double layer turns)
Corner-Parity
u2U2 r2R2
u2 r2R2
U2 r2R2

Corner+Edge-Parity
x'
u2 R2
u F2
u F2 R2
u R2
u' R2
u R2
u2 R2

 

[jackolanternsoup]

wow... that's all? for my corner parity i have to do an edge parity then a T-perm.... and my oll parity is terrible... takes forevver.... adds around 15secs to my time *anger*.. haha.

and my 4x4x4 isn't that good... gotta get sub 3 by the end of the year...

I don't wanna comment on your cubing skills, but your math skills, they blow.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

July: First solved it, around 2 min

August: Improved greatly.. averaged around 50 sec.

September: 40 seconds on average

October: high 30s on average

November: Mid 30s on average
