video as requested by qqwref!

haven't been cubing properly for ages, and its nice to get down to the low 1:30s on average, especially on video!

this happens to be my pb average too.

Sandwich is so cool! Gj!

Nice to see you back, and nice average.
I'm still using sandwich too . I'm still not as fast as you (my fastest times are barely sub-2), but I'm bot really practicing properly anymore either.

Nice job.

FYI, the link in your sig doesn't work.

guysensei1: socks high pants high NUS high

Berd: thanks!

TMOY: I actually worked on old ideas last summer and learned a few neat new tricks and more algorithms to increase efficiency of solves which was how I cut my global average for 5x5 by 20-25s or so! My global average should be about just under 1:40. If you remember my earlier videos on the 5x5x5 - pre-2011 - ...well what you see here is the post-2011 version for odd-sided cubes. F2C - corners - opposite faces - midges - centers instead of using CFOP to solve corners + m-edges.

stoic: link has been down since 2012 I think I lost most of my data. However I've been recompiling stuff and might just release it someday meanwhile you could probably use the wayback machine to see a circa-2009 version of my method! my site was at rachmaninovian.webs.com if that helps.

On the other hand I finally have a sub17 ra12 on the 3x3 after too many years of cubing
