forgot to do the ao12 last week... was too busy practicing for a comp
I wasnt concentrated while doing this avg but still pretty nice. I think i did around 5 ZBLLS planning to get CN some time soon
the Danish OH NR is 13.96 ao5... hoping to beat it this weekend

You are doing one handed ZBLL's ??

[kneels down in respect]

How many can you do one handed?
How many people in the world can do full ZBLL one handed...?

Probably only Jabari.

 

[efattah]

Probably only Jabari.

"(10.29)(x-cross+ZBLL)OH"

This acronym phrase is meaningless to any normal human being, but amongst the cubing community I can think of few other statements that elicit such a feeling of reverence and awe.

I also forgot last round. Oh well, made it this time~
I just cleaned out and re-lubricated my cube (pocket lint) and decided to try it without putting any more Speedy on it (only Silk and DNM-37), and it's really slick. I think this is the first time I've ever tried a cube where I'm thinking it might be a little too fast, though I'm gonna spend some time with it and see if I get used to it.

Round 78

Yan3 M

Ao12: 15.83

Times: 14.91, 15.90, 16.93, 16.07, 16.75, 16.73, (17.85), 14.65, 16.09, 14.78, 15.45, (13.63)

Finally getting some good times. Got a comp this weekend so lets hope for similar results. Loving my Yan3 M too.

EDIT: The second solve after this Ao12 was a 10.99... sweeeeet

 

[TheoLyh]

haha yup.
I dont know full ZBLL but ill try to complete it at the end of the year i use around 100 of them OH. Ive no idea how many people who knows full ZBLL OH... but the ones who knows ZBLL 2H can just use it for OH . Ill try to learn RUD algs for most of the cases(cus then theyre still good for 2H )

The cross is one of my strongest points of my solves (seeing 1-2 pairs in insp)... so its just about learning the ZBLLs

 

[mafergut]

Wow! and what about OH amnesia? I thought that would be a big problem to do ZBLL OH, unless you already learn the algs both for 2H and OH at the same time.

Round 78
Cube: Valk3
Method: CFOP Full CN

avg of 12: 19.06
19.44, 17.60, 20.96, (17.36), 17.84, 19.09, 19.04, (23.37), 17.61, 19.65, 19.77, 19.50

As meh as always. At least there are no big fails (except for the 23.xx) in non-white/yellow-cross solves.

 

[sqAree]

I can somehow relate. As someone who learns only OH ZBLL I can't use those algs for 2H. ^^

I don't have any problems remembering algs... that's probably because I learn the alg then get it into 2H muscle memory and Into OH muscle memory a bit after...

I can somehow relate. As someone who learns only OH ZBLL I can't use those algs for 2H. ^^

You learn RUL algs? If yes then try do a Z rotation and execute it like a RUD alg... it'll maybe be faster... How many ZBLLs Do you know?

 

[sqAree]

I just started, it's my project for 2017. ^^ So I know only like 30, maybe even less. Most of them are RUL, very few are RUF or RUD.
But I'm really bad at D moves for OH, and I'm not really interested in using ZBLL for 2H.

You don't have to do D moves... just do a Z rotation then it's an RUL alg that's what I'm doing

Avo12 = 17.61
Not a good average. I did just put my GTS into the dual adjustment system, which led me to solve with a very loose cube. I am also trying to learn the OLL's so I forgot the SAME ALG TWICE, and led that led to some very bad solves.

Either you put parenthesis on the wrong time or that 48 is a typo.

It's a typo. It's supposed to be 18

Another week that I forget to post scrambles. Now I'll give you one more day and post scrambles tomorrow, 1 week late. Sorry for that.

[mafergut]

Nice username, cuberpi and nice way to hide your average. I assume it is really 18.37 so I won't try to calculate it myself. And... welcome to the race!
