Race to sub 5 (7x7)

[Georgeanderre]

I may be totally off the mark, but it sounds like a rivet has come loose on that side.

Try pushing in till you feel a click.

did this last night and again this morning, no click and the cube feels exactly the same

[Georgeanderre]

I don't understand how it can get this loose.
I've had mine nearly three years and done hundreds of solves, possibly thousands. It is loose, but still has another three years in it, St least.

Try some REALLy high viscosity diff oil. I have 100k wt. Perhaps this is why mine hasn't gone so loose.

Only a tiny but St a time though, the first time I used it I put far to much in and went from sub7 to sup10.

Bought what claims to be 80kwt oil this morning, i hope this makes a difference,
although even doing RUR'U' makes the second from top layer fall out at the moment so its probably a new core / cube that i need

[Mike Hughey]

Round 12
7:17.51
(6:44.57), 7:25.25, 7:05.82, 7:21.47, (7:43.74)

I keep starting well but ending badly. It feels like I should be consistently sub-7, but I keep making mistakes.

The scrambles are weird: for instance, in scramble 4, there was 3U2 3U. Surely those shouldn't happen together like that? There are also some less obvious ones, like at the beginning of scramble 4: B 3F2 B2. I don't think the official scrambler does that.

 

[Georgeanderre]

The scrambles are fron qqtimer, 2B B is normal but 3U2 3U is not
I will use a different scrambler next week

 

[AvGalen]

too late, but I messed up twice so the average was bad anyway (round 12 tomorrow or the day after that)
