Another 9. It had an A perm at the end. It was done on keyboard so not that impressive.

So story time:

I decided I wanted to do the speedcubeshop easter egg hunt. I got four of the clues and was able to find the golden egg without the second. Getting the mini mat coupon was nice, so I decided to order a yjmc squan with it. I paid, and my order was placed. I also decided to edit my registration so that I will compete in squan in my competition in 15 days...

This may be a stupid decision. I have now put my bets on the fact that I can learn squan in like the 7 days before my competition. If I'm unable to learn this cube, I can simply not compete in squan, but that is for wimps. Any tips on learning?

 

[SpedCube]

Uh no idea but let me know lol, idk how, been trying to learn a bit

Use this tutorial from Cube Master it’s long but super easy to follow and understand it has no algs too! I also learned right before going to comp and made cutoff!!

Keep in mind these are all miscrambles/hand scrambles. Most of them started with me trying to do the scramble and failing. I'm pretty inconsistent, ignore the 4 lol, but I'm improving fast.

Squan pb single, and I scrambled it right. This scramble was an easy cs with a corners pll skip. I think I learned how to scramble correctly bc I'm pretty sure there were a lot of times when I would slice at the end of the scramble.

Also I learned the 7 eo algs but can only excute some of them correctly sometimes.

Goals for Twisters in Tulsa:

2x2:
3 single,
5 average

3x3:
11 or 12 single,
Pr average

5x5:
Sub 1:50 single
Sub-2 average

Square-1
Sub-cutoff single, (55 seconds)
Sub 1:15 average of 5.

I am very excited for this competition. I'll probably make seconds rounds for everything except for Squan (it doesn't have one lol) and therefore have 7 rounds to compete in. Some of my goals are high, especially since I haven't done much 5x5 and 2x2 practice recently, but I'll try my best!

Alright, comp is today. My cube is feeling really good as I deep-cleaned it yesterday and used lunar. We will see if I accomplish my goals.
