Random Cubing Discussion

Does anyone else who times themselves a lot with their phone find that they seem slower when they time with keyboard? (And strangely enough, has no problems with stackmats????)

I dont really use my phone as a timer (anymore...) buy I am the exact opposite! I always did fine on phone and computer, but on stackmat, I average 1 WHOLE SECOND slower....


Thats a ripoff!
 
I'm thrilled that Halczuk finally got another WR. He's been one of the best in the world at 6x6 and 7x7 for quite a while, and he used to be the undisputed king of those events, but he hadn't broken a world record since 2011. I'm so glad that he finally is back at the top in something.
 
Three things:

1. I average about 21-23.5 on 3x3, I use CFOP with 2-look OLL and beginner's method PLL. (Rubik's Solution Guide) I learned F2L when I averaged 55 with beginner's and 2-look OLL, and it's still improving quickly. Do you guys think it's viable to be a 15 second average with 2-look OLL and beginner's PLL? I'm not too lazy to learn PLL, but I want to try it just for fun. What do you think of this?

2. What ever happened to Minh Thai? Random thought.

3. Does anyone here speedsolve Calvin's 3x3x5 cuboid? I got one yesterday and my PB is 2:10.xx. What do you think of cuboids as official WCA events?

Learning the 6 2 look plls shouldn't be hard; it would decrease your times a lot. 2 look OLL can get you to a 15 second avg tho.
 
Feliks got a 6.88 official OH solve when his unofficial PB was 5.93. That's roughly equivalent to him getting a 4.05 official 2H solve, considering that his PB is 3.52.

(6.88/5.93) x 3.52 = 4.049
 
I'd like to get a sub-20 single with 10 different methods, and I can currently do CFCE, CFOP, Roux, Salvia, and FreeFOP pretty easily, and petrus with some luck.
I'm thinking I'll probably also try belt and columns first. Any other suggestions? I don't really want to learn a whole bunch of new algs..
