Rainbows’ progression thread (goal = average sub 10 with CFOP + learn l4e on pyra)

[Anto]

Thanks, i don’t think i realise it since i’m going months in between pb singles so it feels like i’m getting nowhere

My last PB single was in 2018 xD

I haven't even been cubing that long.

Update: it’s the Christmas holidays so I’m gonna be cubing a lot, I’ve done 270 solves today alone and I’m probably gonna do a few more now. I got several sub 11 solves (4/5) a barely sub 10 time of 9.96 and almost exciting, I got my second sub 9 and new pb of 8.59. Also with that I got a pb mo3 which was 11.09 I think but no new ao100 pb which was what I was hoping for, I just wasn’t consistent enough. I went back to using my Gan 11m pro for today and I forgot how light it was after using my mgc elite for ages

My first cubing comp is drawing near and i managed to get a sub 7 ao100 on pyraminx

Not much progress on 3x3 though, it’s really cold so i’m struggling to practice sometimes

New pb ao100 on pyra: 6.73!!
Something has suddenly clicked with pyra and i’m getting faster really quick

 

[RainbowsAndStuff]

Pb ao100 on 3x3 i’m pretty sure of 13.28
Also got a sub 15 ao5000, ao2000 and ao1000 and a sub 14 ao500 and ao200
Getting more consistenly fast which is good
I got like 5 sub 10 times yesterday, possibly more, and lots of sub 11 times

I was home ill from school yesterday so i spent 2 hours on cubestation and did 330+ solves yesterday on cstimer, you can see on the graph how my average changed. Glad it’s changing now because my first cubing comp is in just over a week!

I was thinking in terms of buffer not counting in the cycle. You are right, it is a 5-cycle of pieces.
