8 mover (at least that's what I did)
PB down from a 5.02
bro I'm not even Sub-6 yet

Right before this I was experimenting with method development on Clock and started using a (probably invented before) blockbuildng method. Used it on the scramble and got a 3.58.

Recon soon.

Results from the last two SS Weekly Comps!

(The first of which I competed within the last three minutes of the week)

---

Clock

2024-04-27: 5.77 former overall PB ao5!

• 20% 7-Simul, 20% Clockbuilding, and 60% Flip

2024-04-28: 5.73 overall PB ao5!

• Really nice turning!

Skewb

2024-04-28: 4.64 SSPR2 ao5

• Rather unexpected; haven't practiced Skewb in weeks

3x3

2024-04-27: 8.20 (SSPR2?) ao5

• Crisp turning, easy cross scrambles. I knew the scrambles were already good, from a comment from 2x2MasterYT on that weeks' thread, so I rushed to the Weekly comp to compete.

[Puzzle Maniac]

Hi all, I'm back after getting HTTP 403 error on here, then giving up then finally fixing it today. Over the months I've been gone, I've had two comps, with two upcoming, and improved a lot, bought an fto and earmuffs and am learning CLL.

Sorry for the trash photo anyway bruh

Skewb 7 mover at a comp I was at 3 months ago. Spotted the solution somehow, but wasn't a one look. The group had some decent Skewbers (globalling from 3.5 - 4.0) but they did not appear to spot the solution.
