Some OLLs I still need to do two-look and make me waste precious time doubting and executing. Also lots of locking up while trying to turn much faster than I'd normally do on a 4x4 solve.

I've been focusing on look ahead by slowing down a bit. My times were more consistent this time around though. I think after another week of good practice should bring that average below 25.

I'll post my individual times later.

Why not just post them at the same time as your average?

I posted from my phone but my times are on my laptop. I remembered my Ao12 but not my individual times. I'm sure there is a way to sync timers across devices but I have yet to find or figure that out. I wanted to make sure I submitted my time before the deadline. [emoji106]

OK. Brian's rules on page 1 say they should be included. Hopefully you can add the individual times in the next 7-8 hours. Thanks.

On solve 11, I recognized niklas and forced a PLL skip, thus sub-20. It's my second ever, too.

Round 165
Race to sub-25
Method: CFOP 3x3 on 4x4
Cube: Yuxin Blue
Average: 23.97

Started out horribly, then remembered I need to slow down and turn smoother on 4x4. With less last layer lockups, I'm sure I could be sub-20, but my turning accuracy is horrible.

New to this forum, great idea with these competitions!

Started out very well. Need to get rid of those 30+ solves...time span too wide right now.

Need to get rid of those 30+ solves...time span too wide right now.

Times will come down with practice, as will the time span (standard deviation).

Welcome to the forum, and the thread. I can highly recommend @Escher's thread on how to practice.

Happy cubing.
