Without the counting sup-30 this would be overall PB ao12, and the 18 was .399 off overall single PB. Also overall ao5.

Just barely sub-25

@Shaky Hands, glad you decided to join me!

I had a 16.60 NL 3x3 on 4x4 today, this session was actually pretty catastrophic by comparison, with a DNF and a 37. Getting a lot of 22-23s solves on 4x4 now. Just have to get Yau reduction and parities down to around 37 seconds, and I'll be sub 1!!!

25 seconds seems ambitious as I'm still making lots of mistakes and still don't know some PLLs (V, Na, Nb)

Spoiler: Notes

(3) Messed up EO
(6) Used wrong G Perm
(10) Easy EOLine and PLL skip - should have done much better
(11) Don't know V Perm

But my tps sucks sooo bad...

still don't know some PLLs (V, Na, Nb)

The Nperms can be set up to Jperms by simply doing R U R' U (or L' U' L U') <Jperm> and then undoing the set up.

ZZ (OCLL, PLL)
Moyu Aolong V2
Ao12: 30.10

Still too many mistakes. Since I can't seem to consistently hit below the 30 second average, I've decided to re-calibrate my goals and shoot for the sub-30 category.

28.73, 28.37, 27.68, 23.90, (50.63), 25.76, 31.60, 30.50, 36.29, 28.42, 39.75, (23.54)

The Nperms can be set up to Jperms by simply doing R U R' U (or L' U' L U') <Jperm> and then undoing the set up.

Thanks for the tip. With this I've now learned all PLLs, though I obviously need to practice these N perms as I messed it up during the solves this week.

(5) Messed up N perm
